video upload by Behringer

"Adam walks us through the BM-12 RING MODULATOR, a revival of a classic 2000s-era pedal known for its wild, unworldly tones. With extensive I/O, detailed controls, and a vibrant preamp that stays active even when bypassed, BM-12 offers powerful sound-shaping versatility—essentially two pedals in one. Perfect for adventurous musicians seeking bold, experimental textures." Chapters:

The Behringer BM-12 RING MODULATOR is a vintage fully analog unit that delivers rich and otherworldly textures in a compact, pedalboard friendly format. From shimmering harmonic shifts to wild metallic clangs, BM-12 opens a portal to untamed soundscapes.

Deep Control, Endless Possibilities
At the heart of BM-12 is a versatile carrier oscillator with a sweeping frequency range that can dial in everything from slow-motion tremolo to piercing robotic tones. An onboard LFO lets you animate the effect in subtle or extreme ways, with independent controls for Rate and Amount. The Mix knob gives you precise control over how much of the modulated signal blends in with your dry tone, while the Drive control let you adjust gain to fit perfectly in a mix.

From Studio Experiments to Live Chaos
Whether you’re a guitarist looking to add eerie textures to ambient passages, a synth player pushing into experimental territory, or a producer craving unpredictable modulation in the studio, BM-12 delivers. Use it to make bell-like arpeggios shimmer or turn simple riffs into alien transmissions. With CV I/O on the rear panel, it’s also ready to patch into your modular or semi-modular setup for even deeper exploration.

The Handcrafted World of Ciat Lonbarde
Ciat Lonbarde is the creation of instrument builder and sound thinker Peter Blasser. His designs reject conventional synthesis in favor of circuits that behave like living organisms. These instruments respond with tactile irregularity and voltage-driven nuance. This collection is not a digital imitation. It is the real analog, shaped in real time by touch and signal.

For the Forward-Thinking Producer
Whether you’re working in experimental ambient, leftfield techno, cinematic sound design, or simply seeking sonic material that resists the algorithmic polish of modern production, these samples offer tactile character and genuine unpredictability. No two loops are alike. No modulation repeats.

What’s Inside
Atmospheric drones
Textural noise beds
One-shot percussive blips and pulses
Select loopable material with musical intent
Files designed to inspire both immediate use and deep sampling exploration
Free Lifetime Updates
Your purchase is not a one-time transaction. This pack is a growing archive. New recordings are added continuously at no extra cost. Previous buyers already have access to the latest updates. If you haven’t joined yet, now is a perfect time."

Yamaha VP1 Virtual Acoustic Synthesizer - Wonderland | Music By Christian Halten, Game Solitude


video upload by Christian Halten

You can find additional posts featuring the Yamaha VP1 here.

"The track Wonderland by Christian Halten is composed and performed on the very rare Yamaha VP1 Virtual Acoustic Synthesizer released in 1994. The arrangement was recorded using live overdubs, no other instruments nor external effects were used. The visuals for the track derive from the game Solitude by Jerboa Entertainment with kind permission. Solitude is available on Steam from the link below.

The VP1 is a 16 voice synthesizer that creates sounds based on Physical Modeling technique resulting in pseudo-acoustic tones. All sounds can be altered in real time (even material properties) with a lot of onboard controllers including three tactile expression pedals. Yamaha created a custom 64 core computing architecture for the VP1. At the time it was a very expensive instrument and only a few of them were built.

Christian Halten is a film music composer and creative director based in Berlin. He started his career at the age of 17 scoring a cinematic documentary published by National Geographic. Ever since he is passionate about exploring and expressing sound in music to picture. He worked in Los Angeles in various teams around Hans Zimmer. His latest work is a collaboration with composer Michael Stearns.

First look at the redesigned MIDIKalimba


video upload by MIDI IN

"Over the last few weeks I've been prototyping a redesigned MIDIKalimba - a touch-pad Kalimba-like MIDI controller. I'm now very happy with this and it's a joy to play.

MIDIKalimba's home page:
https://peacockmedia.software/kalimba"



"MIDIKalimba is a MIDI controller played like a kalimba with fingers or thumbs on touch-sensitive pads and can output:

- MIDI over USB
- MIDI over TRS (a TRS-5-pin DIN lead gives MIDI over 5-pin DIN)

You can set any scale/mode, octave and root note, for example C6 Mixolydian or G4 Minor Pentatonic, and then you'll be able to effortlessly play the notes in that scale and key.

It features velocity-sensitivity for expressive playing."

See https://peacockmedia.software.. for additional details including the user manual.
