Behringer Grind: 50 Dark Modular Patches+Patterns. Jam Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"🧿 Encrypted Pulse is a collection of 50 patches for the semi-modular synthesizer Behringer Grind. The bank includes: 11 Basses, 12 Leads, 12 Plucks, and 15 Chords.
⚙️ The centerpiece of Grind is its multi-mode oscillator — a powerful and flexible sound source capable of generating a wide variety of tones. This collection was born from an exploration of that oscillator’s potential in combination with the synth’s other sections and the patchbay.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/grin...

🔮 In this collection, I aimed to create dark, noisy, gritty, and sometimes atonal presets suitable for genres such as techno, ambient, IDM, industrial, deep, house, progressive, downtempo, breaks, drum 'n' bass, and others.

Creative Cross Modulating Eurorack Filters // Double Bubble by Thonk Synth


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have a new Eurorack DIY stereo filter from Thonk Synth. It's a stereo analogue multi mode filter made for creative modulation. Whether it's dual parallel channels, series filer routings, mono to stereo, stereo in and out or even mono filtering with a separate filter modulator (a filter modulator? What? - heads up, it's ace!). Check out the patches below."



"Double Bubble is a 16HP Eurorack dual analog multi‑mode filter designed for creative sound design and flexible signal processing. Each channel features an analog filter core that can operate in one of four modes – Low‑Pass, High‑Pass, Band‑Pass, or Notch. The input of Channel A is normalled to Channel B so its easy to create stereo filter patches from a mono sound source.

The two channels of Double Bubble can run as independent dual mono filters or be linked together for stereo operation. The filters can also be routed in serial configuration to create more complex signal paths such as a variable width bandpass or notch phasing effects. The SPACING control and wide range of CV inputs give deep modulation possibilities such as dynamic formant style filtering.

The FEEDBACK and XMOD (cross‑modulation) controls add further interaction between the two channels, ranging from subtle harmonic enhancement at low settings to more extreme, self‑modulating textures when increased. The dedicated V/OCT inputs for each channel allow the filters to function as FM oscillators or tone sources when pushed into self‑oscillation. This flexibility allows the Double Bubble to cover a wide range of roles, from precision cascading filter patches to dynamic stereo filtering and experimental feedback adventures!

Features:

Dual analog VCF with LP, HP, BP & Notch outputs
Resonance control per channel with switchable compensation
Mono, serial, parallel, stereo link routing options.
Cross modulation (XMod), FM and V/oct inputs per channel
Feedback with positive & negative phase
Frequency Offset Spacing with CV control
LED indicators for visual feedback on modulation and modes.
Designed in-house at Thonk"

YAMAHA TQ5 Bass


video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"TQ5 Sysex Bass Presets: FMWarpBass.syx, TriRave.syx & OldDubStep.syx from https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

Raw FM textures for forward-thinking bass music producers
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."

disting NT - Breakbeat slicing


video upload by Expert Sleepers

"This video shows the disting NT as a self contained sample slicer with effects.

A combination of simple algorithms is used to randomise the slice selection, but maintaining some degree of the usual progression through the sample - also while forcing the 'one' to the first slice of the sample (go search up 'Bootsy’s Funk Formula').

A Kirbinator and flanger provide additional ear candy."

ExoSphere - Endless evolving ambient drift (iOS/Mac). Presets.


video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"A Story of ExoSphere - https://motion-soundscape.blogspot.co...
~
ExoSphere is a creative tool for shaping continuous ambient and meditative compositions, based on five independent sound layers that merge into a seamless atmosphere. It provides an effortless way to create a foundation for ambient tracks or even a complete background piece with minimal adjustments."

Looped Harmonies with norns shield & reface DX | Shady Place 2025-11-27 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the norns shield and YAMAHA reface DX.
It is an ambient composition built from looped harmonies and evolving sustained tones.

On the norns shield, the sines script is used, and sustained tones are performed using the monome grid.

On the reface DX, harmonies are recorded with the looper and played back in repetition. The output is processed through the @strymon NIGHTSKY, adding filtering and reverb to shape the overall atmosphere."

Prismatci Spray II


video upload by Arman Bohn

"My devices can be purchased here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/

Prismatic Spray II should be out in a few days!

Let's take a look at some more of the new features in the Prismatic Spray II.

I have the new web serial visualization feature running on a Mac this time. I did a screen recording and comped it into this video to demonstrate the possibilities of web serial display & visualizations.

I start by showing how the DETUNE knob works and can create a "chorus" type effect between the two bytebeat engines.

I move on to the SLOW DOWN knob and show how you can slow the bytebeats down and even freeze time - allowing for wavetable-ish type control over the sound. (You can also accomplish this by creating very small loops with the looping feature).

MIDI PITCH BEND is shown with the help the Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller.

GLIDE allows for some portamento action between notes.

The analog FILTER runs in stereo and is also MIDI controllable.

I finish up with an explanation of the PITCH SCALING feature, which can stretch bytebeat playback determined by a user-specified root note.

Whew!"
