AllFlesh / Skin patching for modular synthesizers
video upload by Landscape
"Modular touch patch using AllFlesh touch points and the @MusicThingModular Workshop System. When my hands are removed the system is unpatched. Moving fingers between different ins and outs provides new patches instantly. Changing the amount of skin in contact with AllFlesh pads change the amount of attenuation. To put it another way, your skin can provide expressive and chaotic momentary “multiples” that also have variable attenuation. https://www.landscape.fm/allflesh"

OAM Time Machine Funk
video upload by Stazma
"Here is a fun Electro styled jam session using the OAM Time Machine as the main attraction.
I'm running the Instruo Seashell into it, clock sent by the System80 880 also doing the drums and triggering the Seashell envelope.
Simple setup but lot's of cool sounds!"
148bpm Psytrance fm lead with RF Diode Dream Vcf
video upload by Radical Frequencies Modular
"Here is a track at 148bpm psychedelic trance while recording radical frequencies modular. The fm lead is the Dpvco at exponential fm and through Diode Dream Vcf. A lot of modulation going into Vcf via RF mixer for complexity of the sound.
The bass is also from the SH Vcf prerecorded."
Not Just for Textures: 3 Grain Processing Techniques for Beat Makers
video upload by Oddment
"In this video, I walk through three practical grain-processing techniques for beat makers using granular synthesis. Instead of the usual pads and soundscape examples, I’m focusing on drums and rhythmic material — showing how grains can shape feel, create modulation effects, add tonal character, and even move into wavetable-style synthesis.
These examples use loops from Joshua Van Tassel, part of the upcoming Odd-1 factory library. The Odd-1 is a modular grain synthesizer we’ve been developing at Oddment, and all of these techniques can be recreated directly on the hardware.
Techniques covered:
• Tempo-locked grains for changing the feel
• Grain-size modulation and rhythmic dropouts
• Tonal effects using closely spaced grains
• Wavetable-like sounds from tiny slices of audio
If you’re interested in granular synthesis, drum processing, time-stretching, or experimental beat-making techniques, you’ll probably find something useful here.
We’re finishing up the first small production run of the Odd-1. If you’d like updates or want to join the waitlist, you can do that on our website: https://www.oddment-audio.com/waitlist

TipTop TRIAX-8 Polyphonic Thru-Zero FM Oscillator - What is TZFM?
video upload by gattobus
"Here's a quick presentation and audio demo of the new TipTop Audio TRIAX8 Polyphonic Eurorack Oscillator.
00:52 - What is THRU-ZERO FM ?
03:45 - XOR Waveform
05:45 - Music Performance
This video is sponsored by TipTop Audio"
"Meet the TRIAX 8 , an oscillator like no other, featuring 16 analog triangle-core oscillators with full note polyphony and patching. The TRIAX8 is a landmark in synthesis technology, combining true polyphonic patching and full note polyphony with the creative and joyful hands-on workflow of a modular synthesizer. Every function has its own knob, and all modulation inputs are ready for patching with patch cables. Beneath this interface lie 16 true analog oscillators, real circuits built from semiconductors, capacitors, and resistors, each one alive, drifting naturally with temperature and with the magnetic and electric fields they generate. This is the sound of analog: full, warm, organic, and never the same twice.
In this demo, we showcase just a glimpse of what the TRIAX8 is capable of, and how easy it is to design sounds through instant patching. We focus mainly on pads and drones, with a touch of arpeggios. A note about video sound quality:
YouTube plays compressed audio, which significantly affects sound quality. Compared to the original recording, the audio will generally sound muddier and harsher in the highs. However, it still provides a good sense of the character and tone of the demoed device.
Patch Overview for this video: For modulation, we used the OCTOLFO to randomly patching LFO signals into the TRIAX 8’s CV inputs. The audio output was routed through the OCTPASS 24 dB low-pass filter and then into the OCTOGAIN. From the OCTOGAIN’s stereo outputs, the sound was sent to the Z-DSP, where some patches feature reverb or delay from the Z-DSP. For control, we played notes from Ableton through the Octopus, or used G-Mode sequencing on the Octopus and NerdSeq."

destiny+ Introduces the double Q
video upload by kirkis
"a gestural neural processing device.
destiny-plus.com"
Double q is a stand alone gestural device that uses a small neural processor trained to track 30 points of the hand. Equipped with a high-resolution camera, users can manipulate live hand data in a myriad of ways.
Double q system architecture includes:
X16 Bipolar / unipolar cv outputs.
Mapping and remapping of 30 hand data points.
Phase, speed, and individual sub window / loop array randomisation.
Record and loop buffers of +10mins.
Nrpn and midi cc usb-c output and preset saving / loading. ( perfect for modelq2 / external hardware or DAW pairing. USB host & device )
Web app for nrpn/midi cc slot allocation.
Double q also contributes its own synthesis engine titled double luck.
Double luck is equipped with 6 user buttons and gesture.
The user is given zero knowledge or professional guidance on navigating this engine, the user will need double luck.
