"What a treat this system is to play. Incorporating the 953 duophonic keyboard and custom Moon Modular sequencer system, you have everything you you could possibly ever need. The system is in incredible condition, nearly zero signs of use. We hope to see this go to a great new home. It is truly a synthesist’s synthesizer.

The IIIP + 953 is available now at Nosiebug.

The Moon Sequencer system is also available. Sold Separately.

Soniccouture Releases Polarity | Tension: Dual Granular Engine With K/V

video uploads by Soniccouture

Playlist:

Polarity | Tension: Product Tour
Polarity | Tension: Granular Synthesis Tutorial
Polarity Tension: Sound Design Preview


Via Soniccouture

"Soniccouture is pleased to announce Polarity: a new, dual-granular sampler engine which heralds the start of a series of instruments exploring the granular synthesis space. The first instalment in this series is Polarity | Tension, developed in collaboration with creative audio team K/V (Ramon Kerstens and Richard Veenstra).

Built entirely from recordings of industrial machinery, extended string techniques, abstract vocalizations, and environmental resonances, Polarity | Tension offers a palette that feels intentional, unstable, and alive with detail.

The four macros Grain, Character, Movement, and Space provide fast, expressive control over the instrument’s sound. They come pre-mapped to NKS for each snapshot but can also be reassigned to control any parameter the user chooses. Not so much a collection of presets, more a set of curated sonic vignettes.

Kontakt Player | NKS | Native Access Download €149 | $149

INTRO OFFER €89 | $89 Until 16th Sept 2"

EMS Synthi A stolen from Synthorama

Some unfortunate news sent my way vis Swissdoc. Apparently someone has stolen an EMS Synthi from the Swiss synth museum Synthorama. You might recall the video walkthrough just posted here yesterday.

The following is via the curator of Synthorama, Martin Hollinger aka Airböurne (creator of the modular synth by the same name), on the Sequencer.de forum (translated via Google):

"Hello everyone

I finally managed to register on the forum. I'm the owner of the Synthorama and, due to a current event, I'd like to give you a brief update on the museum.

The Synthorama has been around for 25 years and serves to introduce synthesizers to a musically interested public. Almost all instruments can be played and tested here.

But you all already know that ;-)

Unfortunately, there are also people who misuse the museum. Since its inception, there have been four thefts, the fourth on August 2, 2025.

The first was about 15 years ago, when someone stole around 10 modules from one of my Moog modular systems while it was unattended and then filled the "holes" with other modules or even front panels. I didn't notice this for a long time because it wasn't that obvious.

Beepboop Electronics Introduces the CTRL+ 4hp Touch Controller Module

video upload by Beepboop Electronics

"A short demo overview of the new CTRL+ 4hp touch controller module.

Includes pressure CV, Velocity CV and gate outputs!"



via Beepboop Electronics

"Control your eurorack system with just a touch. Generate control voltages and gates from the capacitive touch pads and route them to play your system.

Some things just can’t be sequenced……

The module has two touchpads, one to generate CV outputs and the other for gates. There are separate outputs for the pressure CV, velocity CV and Gate.

The pressure touchpad has been designed to be expressive. The pressure CV is proportional to how hard you press the panel, contact surface area and position.

The increasing separation of lines in the pressure touchpad result in an inverse relationship to its response so that depending upon where you touch you will get a sensitivity.

The top of the touchpad is more sensitive. The sensitivity decreases going down the panel.

Using just the tip of your finger the output CV can be controlled by slide it up and down the panel.

The RGB LED in the top left displays the level of each output.

Green = Pressure
Blue = Velocity
Red = Gate
The pressure CV output ranges from 0-6V

The module has been fitted with an offset null trimmer which can be adjusted when the module is mounted in your rack to set the Pressure CV back to exactly 0V.

The offset null can be adjusted through the panel with a small flat head screw driver.

Include power cable and mounting screws."

Brussels School Diaries, Day 4: "Needle Galaxy" | original electronic music jam

video upload by No Lake

"Trying to forge a movement, a style, and stay true to the original plan is not easy. The more I work on it, the better I understand it. The more I'm around it, the more I appreciate it. Next year's album is slowly taking shape, note by note. Emotion after emotion. Improvised jam after improvised jam.

Beginner's Guide to Sound Design, Feat. Sonicware Liven Evoke | LFOs, Filters, & Amp Envelopes

video upload by Sonic Cartography

"A tutorial on the basics of sound design, featuring the Sonicware Liven Evoke, focusing on LFOs, filters, and amplitude envelopes, and providing an overview of attack, release, cutoff, resonance, and LFO assignment, shape, rate, depth, trigger, and delay settings. This is part 3 of a series I'm doing on the Evoke (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list..., but it can be watched independently of the other parts and doesn't require that you have an Evoke to get something out of it, I think/hope.

This video is meant to be as beginner-friendly as possible, so at the beginning of sections, I go over basics that may "go without saying" for more experienced people. This is intentional. I remember back when I was just getting started with synths, all the videos I watched seemed to assume too much was "obvious" or already known, and I've consciously tried to avoid that here and make the sort of video I wish I had back then."

Introducing Stem Ripper - 8 Channel Audio Recorder

video upload by ALM TV

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Chapters:
0:00 - Intro
0:52 - Setting up a Multitrack Recording
3:28 - Recording
5:09 - Transferring Stems to a Computer
7:07 - Mixing and Editing
7:38 - Final Mix
8:01 - Outro

"The 'Stem Ripper' is a compact 8 channel audio recorder designed for immediate full patch recording without the need for external hardware. Capture all audio stems of a patch with ease.

In this video we multitrack a basic patch using the Stem Ripper then copy the stems to a computer for basic mixing and editing in Logic Pro.

Patch stems are recorded directly to a micro SD card which can then be easily transferred to a computer to mix, edit or archive patches. Each input is recorded as an individual track in a 16bit 44.1kHz multichannel date stamped WAV file. Record time is limited only by SD Card size. Two additional tracks within the output WAV contain a configurable stereo mix down of the inputs. The module has large 20Vpp per input headroom with LED clip indication if exceeded.

An optional 2HP 'Thru' output expander duplicates the 8 inputs to a row of unbuffered outputs, eliminating the potential need for stacking patch cables at the expense of more case real estate.

A suitable 64Gb SD card is included with the unit."
