EXPERIMENT 82725: Moog Muse Ambient Synth Drone

video upload by Bill Wolfer

"An ambient degenerative drone patch. No arpeggiator or sequencers were used. Oscillator two is synced to Oscillator one. LFO 1 and LFO 2 are modulating the frequency of Oscillator two with non-synchronized sample & hold waveforms. The filters are in series in bandpass mode, and are being modulated slowly with a sine wave from the modulation oscillator. Plenty of diffusion delay is added, along with Moogerfooger Clusterflux chorus and plenty of reverb. It's all one track, recorded as is. Machine melodies.

Behringer UB-Xa: 64 Arp Presets Vintage & Modern. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"🌌 Analog Flow is a collection of 64 arp presets for the Behringer UB-Xa analog synthesizer. The bank covers a wide range of arpeggio timbres: warm, deep, dreamy, soft, noisy, bright, dark, distorted, cold, metallic. You can also disable the arpeggio mode and get a collection of diverse plucks.
Since the UB-Xa is a recreation of a vintage classic, this collection embraces its retro character—highlighting detuning, subtle noise, and analog warmth to evoke the sonic aesthetics of the 70s and 80s.
The patches are infused with nostalgic charm and are perfect for adding that vintage soul to your tracks.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/ub-x...

📼 One of the unique features of the UB-Xa is its Atrophy profiles—emulations of various stages of vintage wear and drift. All presets and audio demos were created using the default Profile 1, but you're encouraged to explore them with other profiles to discover variations in brightness, tuning, and stereo width. This adds another layer of expression and depth to the sounds.

🎛 Each preset is performance-ready, with velocity sensitivity and ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control. The ModWheel introduces additional modulations — such as brightness or movement — offering creative flexibility for both studio production and live performance.

🧿 The soundset is universal, the arpeggios are suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Synthwave, Retrowave, Pop, Indie, IDM, Drum'n'Bass, Breakbeat, Electro, Ambient, Synth-Pop and others.

Ambient | YAMAHA TQ5 FM Synth

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Raw FM textures for forward-thinking bass music producers
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

This pack captures the unmistakable character of Yamaha’s late 1980s 4-operator FM synths, with all their sharp digital edges and lo-fi charm intact. The TQ5, often hidden in the shadow of its more famous siblings, holds a unique place in synthesis history. It delivers angular, glassy tones that feel both futuristic and retro, with a sound design potential that quietly laid the groundwork for timbres now celebrated in modern club music.

Created for producers who care about texture, this collection offers bass and drum sounds with a distinct edge. Artifacts, aliasing, and resolution quirks are not just preserved but embraced, giving each sample a bite that generic VSTs rarely achieve.

New Systems Instruments DISCRETE MAP and DMAP / full breakdown

video upload by BRiES

"In this video I explain how I used DISCRETE MAP and the expander DMAP A/B/C in a track and along the way I demonstrate how the module works. This really is a unique sequencer. The expander makes so much sense as well.

Thanks to ‪@NewSystemsInstruments‬ for letting me have a go with these modules.

Introducing Erosia – the hidden sounds of friction | Native Instruments

video upload by Native Instruments

Update: press release follows:



Harness sounds of friction and tension, transforming them into powerful sonic storytelling devices

Berlin, August 28, 2025 – Native Instruments has announced Erosia, a new cinematic sound design engine that turns the raw friction, scraping, bowing, and cracking of overlooked objects into living cinematic textures. Erosia creates morphing and modulating soundscapes from materials under strain, from ice crackling across cymbals to glass vases straining under tension. Explore a palette of bowed bicycle spokes, dry ice, abandoned buildings, rusted hinges, cracked pianos, and more; each stretched to reveal a hidden resonance.

Created with veteran sound designer and composer Jeremiah Savage, the sound artist behind acclaimed Kontakt instruments like Kinetic Metal and Kinetic Toys, Erosia comes loaded with over 200 expressive snapshots, providing ready-to-use starting points for any cinematic composition. By pairing contact microphones with traditional close-miking, Erosia captures the best of both worlds: the hidden, tactile vibrations inside materials, and the natural resonance and space around them. This dual approach reveals textures that are at once microscopic and cinematic.

At the heart of Erosia are three powerful engines: Grain, Wavetable, and Sampler. Grain fractures and animates textures, Wavetable adds evolving harmonic color, and Sampler preserves realism.

Artists can layer up to four sources, while creative macros and modulation via LFOs, envelopes, and sequencers offer countless ways to animate and evolve sound. A comprehensive FX page provides further built-in creative control with a suite of reverbs, delays, saturation, and more, all available for modulation.

Key Features:
· Over 200 expressive snapshots designed for cinematic scoring.
· An eclectic palette of textures captured with contact microphones in microscopic detail.
· Three powerful sound engines: Grain, Wavetable, and Sampler
· Layer up to four sound sources for complex, evolving timbres.
· Deep modulation control featuring LFOs, envelopes, and sequencers.
· Creative built-in FX with reverbs, delays, saturation, distortion, and modulation effects for each layer.

Also see DivKid's video here.

"The Pocket SCÍON is a portable device that captures biofeedback data sourced from contact with living organisms.

This data is used by the onboard sound engine to generate evolving soundscapes and a range of MIDI messages.

The data is also accessible as OSC messages which are broadcast from the accompanying desktop application.

Anyone can create, shape, and enjoy music with Pocket SCÍON regardless of existing musical experience.

Despite its stand-alone, plug-and-play interface, experienced or adventurous users can use the MIDI and OSC output capabilities to integrate Pocket SCÍON and biofeedback into their studios, installations, and audio- visual projects.

Circuit Bent Feedback Generator / Video Synth / Video processor by LoFi Future

video upload by LoFiFuture

"A rough and ready demo of this one off feedback generator I built a while back using a fancy-schmancy Silicon Image iScan Pro!

Availible to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

This unit is capable of producing some insanely intricate and evolving feedback loops on its own and it can also be used as a video processor to colourise and glitch out composite video signals for some very 80s looking posterized visuals.

The interface is simple, the upper part housing the built in preview screen also has directional controls and an illuminated zoom button for controlling the position of the image on screen.

The main control surface features:
-3 oversized 45mm knobs for controlling the Red, Green and Blue levels
-5 small knobs that control brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness
-6 toggle switches for triggering circuit bends that are wired into the Silicon Image iScan board for some glitch effects!

The unit features a 12V power input a composite output (PAL and NTSC) and a switchable composite input (so you can switch from feedback loop mode to video processor mode without rewiring anything)"



"This feedback generator / video synth is based on a very nice Silicon Image iScan composite to VGA scaler that features analog potentiometers to control brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness. This is something I have not been able to find on another model of composite to VGA converter and they seem fairly hard to come by.
