"This is the Shard harsh noise generator — a boutique power-electronics / industrial sound device known for its aggressive textures, chaotic oscillators, and fully manual performance controls.

Make Noise Almost ReSynthesizer // Diffusion Patch

video upload by Dexba

"[no talking, patch notes on screen]
I am building a ReSynthesizer, little by little, and I wanted to share with you my journey while the case is not yet full, but already showing a lot of potential for interesting patches.
This is how I envision a patch I would go live with: some key points ready to be messed with, but without the need for planned sequences, saved patches, and so on.
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did playing it 🧡"

Using a foot pedal with GLOOP

video upload by Cutlasses

"Did you know you can trigger start/stop of the recording on GLOOP with a foot pedal, which is perfect if you're playing guitar and want to be able to record hands-free. Here I'm using the ADDAC Gate Pedal, but any pedal that produces a trigger voltage greater than 3V should work. Alternatively you can use a pedal conversion module. We still have some GLOOPs available in our store, https://www.cutlasses.co.uk/"

Sid Station driven by Lightreft Monolit exploring SID textures and grit

video upload by HANJŌ

"Afternoon exploration session with 3 silver boxes, the Elektron Machinedrum handling the beat and the classic SID Station led by the Lightreft Monolit on the 2.0β firmware.

Machinedrum keeps things tight and mechanical while the SID Station focuses on texture. Bit-grit, noise edges, and shifting timbres.

Just experimenting, seeing how far the monolit can take Midi Automation over an IDM groove. #machinedrum #sidstation #idm"

The LightReft Monolit made its first appearance on the site earlier this month in another video by HANJŌ.
