Omnisphere 3: Overview, Review, Synth Architecture, and History

video upload by Keith Crosley

"Spectrasonics Omnisphere 3 is here, and I'm taking a deep dive into the architecture of the latest version of this legendary synth! Join me for a talky takly exploration of the sound, features, and origin of Omnisphere, and details on the newest capabilities that other synth-tubers ignore. If you're unsure if Omnisphere 3 is "worth it in 2025", I hope you'll learn something from my deep (or at least as deep as I can get in 90 minutes) dive! And, if you're an old hand at Omnisphere, I might remind you about some of the deep features that make Omnisphere a classic... So grab your rusty spoke and get ready for a POWER-SYNTH-A-GO-GO episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!"

The Hammond Novachord

video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a project that explores the history of the Novachord, goes in-depth in the examination of a piece of promotional literature released by Hammond to advertise the Novachord when it was a product, and a retelling of my experience of acquiring and owning a Novachord back in 2000 (with footage from that time).

Evolving Riddle

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Some ambient fun on 90’s synths

I used to be afraid of 90s synths - very afraid

My album 20 Systems stopped short of the 90s because I was scared of what happened next - it went all Rompler, and workstation, and presets, and tiny complicated interfaces with tiny silly screens and, like, two buttons to navigate the most complex synths ever made

But recently, I am learning to love my 90s synths. Some of the best and most beautiful sounding instruments were made in the 1990s and here are four of them - the Alesis Quadrasynth (1993) , a true 4-Layer Rompler with dual integrated FX units. The Yamaha TG33 desktop synth (1990) - using a hand-me-down straight from the Sequential Prophet VS, including a crazy vector-dial. Thirdly, the Waldorf Microwave-2 (1997) - a direct descendant of the PPG Wave series of wavetable synths. And finally the Roland JV1080 (1994) - their flagship Rompler derived from (and vastly expanded upon) the legendary D50 LA synth

I also added a plethora of vintage FX units to the mix (through the Neve 88D) - a Lexicon Model 200, Prime Time 95, AMS RMX16, Quantec QRS, and Eventide H3000 (the blue one) for good measure

The video doesn’t matter here - it’s about the s o u n d today

Thanks for listening"

"Fusion System MK1 in excellent condition. This system has been fully tested. all modules function as expected and the modules all sound incredible!

Comes in an Erica Synths powered skiff with original PSU.

Erica Synths Fusion Drone System is here for those, who want to explore the dark territories of the sound, where only few have stepped in.

Vacuum tube based Erica Synths Fusion Series modules are the basis for this system, while Black Modulator and Black Envelope Generator add plenty of modulation and noise generation possibilities. It has 43 patchpoints for extensive experiments in sound design, all analogue signal and CV path to create the drones of massive power. Want a solid bassline with great 1V/oct tracking? Use CV/Gate sequencer or keyboard and you have it! Erica Synths Fusion Drone System brings distinct and powerful sound into eurorack.

Fusion Drone System includes:

Fusion VCO – Two double triodes in bistable latch connection act as suboscillators: -1 and -2 octaves with plenty of mixing opportunities for amazing sonic results. External audio signal can replace internal VCO.

Fusion Ringmodulator V2 – Germanium diodes enrich the sound by adding extra harmonic content meanwhile vacuum tube adds evilish overdrive to audio and carrier signals.

Fusion VCF V2 – Each side of the double triode drives signal between 2nd and 3rd stage of the filter, while germanium diodes are used to limit the output signal.

Black Modulator – a fully analogue modulation and noise source.
Black 8-Multi – an advanced replacement for stackable patch-cables – it is active buffered multiple with signal status LEDs.

Fusion VCA V2 – a Russian miniature pentode 1Ж24B with power consumption comparable to an LED.
Black EG – the ultimate control over envelopes in your modular system.

Fusion Delay/Flanger/Vintage Ensemble – a distinct multifunctional analogue effects module that combines BBD chip based effects with an adjustable tube overdrive in the delay output and a feedback path for extra thickness of the sound.

Xaoc Devices Introduces Zlin 1982 Crossfader

video upload by Xaoc Devices

"Please welcome a new member of the Xaoc Devices Eurorack modules family. Zlin [zlin] is a small utility module (only 3HP!) that can act as an audio signal and CV cross-fader, a linear VCA with drone control, a ducking VCA, or a feedback controller. It is a tool perfect for any modular environment - a missing piece of the puzzle greatly enhancing the creative potential of any system. Use it to construct unusual waveforms, simulate classic subtractive-style dynamic timbre shaping without the need for any filters, or simply morph between rich signals.

As Zlin is DC-coupled and built around a modern high-quality dual VCA chip, it delivers a wide dynamic range with low noise and distortion. A slider potentiometer with an illuminated LED provides visual feedback of the module’s state. An auxiliary jack with three selectable functions adds further flexibility for creative patching.

Main features:
width 3HP
depth 32mm (including cable bracket)
+25mA/-15mA
voltage and manually controlled cross-fader
linear, DC-coupled VCA with drone and duck functions
feedback controller
visual indication of mix ratio
AUX jack for patching tricks

PRICE: 100 EUR MSRP, available now!"

2:48 Creative Sequencing using Transport Sources

"In this video, we walk through how to sync Noise Engineering’s Mimetic Digitwolis, our four-lane CV sequencer and quantizer, with both internal and external clock sources including MIDI, DIN Sync, Gate, and Trigger.

We’ll show you how to enable and configure Transport modes, sync to MIDI gear or analog clocks, use Transport divisions for musical timing, combine X/Y sequencing with external sync, and create rhythmic control using triggers and gates.

Whether you’re clocking from your DAW, drum machine, or modular setup, this video covers everything you need to keep Mimetic Digitwolis locked in time with your system.

"✨ The Indian Resonator — now in standalone form! ✨

After years of success in Eurorack, it’s finally here — the Indian Resonator Standalone.
You asked for it… and we made it happen.

🎛️ Two self-oscillating resonant filters that modulate each other — creating deep, organic, harmonic textures.
Somewhere between a synthesizer and an Indian flute.
Warm sub-bass meets airy, flute-like highs — the “air” in the sound. 🌬️

☀️ The standalone version adds something special:
Three light-controlled modulation oscillators — play it with your hands or experiment with light!
Turn each sensor on/off, or control everything with CV.
Perfect between your guitar pedals, Teenage Engineering, or Korg Volca setup.
And yes — it’s still Eurorack compatible. ⚡

🔌 Includes power supply + demo video.
Available now."
