PlantsSystem-PlantsEcho

video upload by plantssystem

"'PlantsEcho' by PlantsSystem is an organic electro track that quietly blends the smoothness of electronic sounds with the textures of natural objects.

The softly pulsating beat evokes the gentle vibrations of walking on earth, and the sound textures gently carry the feeling of wind and light.

Without a clear melody, the 'touch' of the sound resonates directly as emotion, bringing a gentle sense of calm to the listener's heart. While avoiding overstimulation, the track still has a strong, breathing groove, combining the comfort of breathing in nature with the refinement unique to electronic music.

Spacious Synth Layers with Prophet-10, Moog One & CP-88 | Deep Space 2025-12-08 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88.

Sustained bass tones form the foundation, over which spacious synths and electric piano textures gradually layer and evolve.

The Prophet-10 is connected to the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, where reverb and filtering add depth and dimension.

On the Moog One, synth pads are performed with aftertouch modulation used to gently bend and animate the sound.

The Nord Lead provides the sustained bass tone, with a slow LFO applied to the filter for subtle movement.

The CP-88 plays a Wurlitzer-style electric piano tone, processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, adding delay and tight micro-loop textures that blend into the atmosphere."

CME Unveils the H12MIDI Pro

Press release follows:

Today, we are excited to officially announce the CME H12MIDI Pro, a next-generation USB Host MIDI hub created hand-in-hand with our global community of musicians, engineers, producers, and gear enthusiasts.

The H12MIDI Pro is the latest evolution in CME’s standalone MIDI ecosystem — a compact, portable, ultra-fast USB Host + TRS MIDI interface designed to bring complete flexibility to modern hybrid setups.

Whether you’re working exclusively with hardware instruments or combining synths, pedals, controllers, and DAWs, the H12MIDI Pro provides a unified foundation for your entire MIDI workflow.

A Crowd-Created MIDI Brain
The H12MIDI Pro began as a user-driven idea inside our CME community. Members asked for more ports, more presets, more routing options, and a more compact form factor.

Together, we turned those requests into reality.

This device is not just built for musicians — it’s built with them.

HWJ WC - Stranger Vibes (WIP)

"For this week's Stranger Things inspired challenge, I added many style tropes from several of the ST soundtrack selections but still made it more my style. Good fun, but I ran out of time to finish all I had planned."

Acoustic Instruments + Infiltrator (INCOSPICUOUS Presets)

Follow-up to this post.

https://www.databroth.com/blog/incons...

INCONSPICUOUS is my third pack for Infiltrator, following INCOHERENCE and INCOGNIZANCE, Inconspicuous has less of a focus overt and destructive remixing and instead prioritizes more subtle and and transformational motion.

In my previous two packs, the incoming audio could end up being completely unrecognizable sometimes, this pack takes care to transform your sound while still leaving the underlying musical concepts in tact (for the most part). As the name suggests, these presets are a bit less "conspicuous" than the others, though still representing my personal flavors and sound design concepts.
