A Modern Classic Eurorack LPG New & Improved in STEREO!! // Stereo State Gate Stereo Field from SSF


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new 'stereo field' version of the Steady State Gate from SSF (Steady State Fate). It's a revamped circuit design with added features and new stereo functions that builds on what I think is a bit of a modern classic, the Steady State Gate from 2022. It's a re imagining and expanded LPG or low pass gate that has on board wave shaping, versatile filtering options and stereo field (stereo image, creation, control and modulation thereof) controls. It's beautifully musical and dynamic, check out the patches below."



"The Steady State Gate Stereo Field (SSGSF) is a stereo low-pass gate module combining dynamic filtering, timbre shaping, and stereo field control to produce rich, evolving textures with spatial effects. Suitable for both stereo and mono sources, it offers extensive modulation possibilities for expressive sound design.

Newly designed signal path with updated Timbre and Qaos response and control.

True stereo design utilizing a curated mid-side signal chain that provides processing features for stereo, as well as mono input signals.

Stereo and mono signal processing including psychoacoustic panning and stereo field enhancement with voltage control and two 'FIELD" modes.

New CV/GATE LPG control input. Can be used simultaneously with EXCITE for more dynamic and rhythmic effects."

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Error Instruments Introduces Error Mixer Eurorack Module


video upload by errorinstruments paul tas



"Something New and Special — the Error Mixer

Meet the Feedback Mixer — a five-input mixer with a twist.
At first glance, it works like a regular compact mixer. But hidden inside is a wild feature: an extra output with extremely high gain.

Feed this output back into the mixer and things start to get beautifully chaotic — intense distortion, bit-crushed textures, and raw, unpredictable feedback tones.
When pushed, it can even self-oscillate with no input, creating wild, evolving soundscapes on its own.

The magic happens when you blend this feedback madness with other sounds — it can add grit, energy, and edge to anything, especially drums or Acid-style basslines.

• 6HP wide – small but powerful
• Extreme gain for raw feedback experiments
• Perfect for distortion, noise, and texture creation
• Available assembled or as a DIY workshop kit
• Affordable and seriously fun

Get ready for crunch, chaos, and creativity — the Error Mixer is not your average mixer."

Erae 2 Sound Design - Hand Drums, Space & FX


video upload by embodme

"In this session, we dive deep into the expressive world of the Erae 2, exploring how its unique surface transforms sound design into a tactile experience. From organic hand drum rhythms to immersive space textures and evolving FX layers, this performance showcases how touch and movement can shape sound in real time.

🔹 Featuring: Custom patches, layered percussion, ambient effects, and gesture-based modulation.
🔹 Focus: Expressivity, sound sculpting, and spatial design on the Erae 2.
🔹 Gear: Erae 2 + synth & FX setup.

If you love experimental sound design, performance-based synthesis, or just want to hear what’s possible with the Erae 2 — this one’s for you."

Minimal electronic with norns shield & OP-1 field : Extreme Drop 2025-10-21 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with norns shield and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field.

A minimal ambient composition built from looping phrases and reverb-soaked synth pads that subtly shift in tone and rhythm.

On the norns shield, the script AWAKE is used to sequence the phrases. The trigger probability is set around 60–70%, creating a semi-random timing for each note. The phrase patterns are controlled via monome grid.

On the OP-1 field, harmonic synth pads are recorded live and looped on the spot, with additional hand-played layers performed over the loops.

Using ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY, effects are applied to the norns shield’s sound. In the early section, a filter is manipulated to fade the sound in, while in the outro the tone shifts toward a more lo-fi texture.

NEW 2025 Optigan Disc - VIOLASCAPE featuring Batya MacAdam-Somer

video upload by optigandotcom

"Now available from the Quilter Labs web store! https://www.quilterlabs.com/collectio...

VIOLASCAPE is the latest in our "scape" series of discs, particularly suited to creating rhythmic chordal textures. Our friend, violinist Batya MacAdam-Somer (https://www.batyamacadamsomer.com/) is featured on viola.

The time signature of this disc is 11/16, which means that if you play chord changes timed in a more familiar meter like 4/4 or 3/4, the rhythms of the music repeat over a longer cycle, creating more complexity. The chord buttons are simple pizzicato patterns that can be combined to create more complex interlocking rhythms and extended harmonies. The keyboard features bowed notes in a rhythmic pattern, offset with each other to create complex composite patterns when you hold down chords. The SFX tabs are similarly bowed patterns on 5ths.

This Synth Has Soul – Sequential Fourm Ambient Performance


video upload by Sineway

"I didn’t expect a dry, mono analog synth to sound alive. But the Sequential Fourm has something different - I'd go as far as saying it has a soul.

This performance is completely free-form: no tempo, no MIDI. I built a flute-like patch that reacts to touch in unpredictable, musical ways and just recorded it in one take. It's using polyphonic aftertouch, but there's something else going on that seems to come from the filter feedback and envelope.

Reverb and delay were added in Ableton to bring it all to life. I then recorded a couple of other layers in the same way, all from the Fourm.

❤️ Support my work and download the flute patch used in this jam by joining the Patreon community: / sineway

► Synth: Sequential Fourm
► Reverb and Delay: Ableton's Hybrid Reverb and Air Delay Pro
► Recorded live, no quantization, no midi
► Genre: Ambient? (Let me know if I'm off here - it's my first in this genre!)"

HiChord — Tiny Synth, BIG Sound | Unboxing & First Jam


video upload by Pocket Trax

Black model in previous posts here.

"Meet the HiChord, a pocket-sized synth that proves tiny gear can sound massive.

In this unboxing and first jam, I dive straight into its sound engine — exploring joystick chord control, dual-track looping, built-in drums, and that surprisingly big tone packed into a solid aluminium case.

🎛️ Highlights:
• Dual-track looper for live layering
• Expressive joystick for chord control
• Built-in drums & rechargeable LiPo battery
• MIDI in/out + USB-C connectivity
• Premium, ultra-compact metal design

🎧 Watch as I layer loops, experiment with its unique modes, and push this little synth to its limits — it’s way more powerful than it looks.

If you’re into pocket synths, grooveboxes, or mini studio setups, the HiChord might just become your next obsession.
