FUTURE SOUND SYSTEMS CRIC

"Cric is a fully-analogue patchable synthesiser, designed to showcase our approach and attitude towards subtractive sound synthesis. It is not a clone or derivative of a pre-existing musical instrument, nor is it simply our Eurorack modules cased up in a box. Whilst some of Cric's functionality descends directly from our experience in designing modular synthesiser components, it has been designed as a fully fledged, standalone instrument, which can easily be introduced into an existing electronic music studio, or even form the heart of an entirely new set-up.

Rock solid voltage-controlled oscillators give the user both pitch precision and FM flexibility. A comprehensive filter section affords timbral sculpting from basic filtering to total transformation of incoming tones. Four cyclical function generators can be used as envelopes, LFOs or even audible VCOs. Pin matrix patching allows for the synthesiser to be configured as a standard triple-VCO subtractive synth, or a paraphonic synth, or a drum machine, or a noise box, and so the list goes on. Four inputs and outputs allow for audio processing, external CV control, feedback routing and more - there's even a microphone pre-amp on input 1. Steel casing, Mirrl -clad HIMACS end-cheeks and hand assembly and testing ensure a rugged and durable build quality.

Technical specifications:

Oscillators : Three SSI2131-based analogue VCOs in Recombination configuration, white noise generator
Filter : SSI2164-based 18dB/octave state-mixable analogue VCF, with wave-folding, based on the Timbral Sculptor
Dynamics : SSI2164-based VCAs present in DNA oscillators, filter section and as a standalone VCA
Modulation : Sample and hold + four cyclical function generators offering AD and ASD envelope configuation, cycle mode, and slope and pulse sources
Routing : 24 source x 32 destination active pin matrix allowing for splitting and summing of all signals
I/O : Four DC-coupled inputs and outputs for multi-channel audio and CV use. Microphone pre-amplifier assigned to In 1. Headphone amplifier on Out 1
Dimensions : 550 x 310 x 80 mm, 5.3 kg
Power : +12VDC (centre positive, 2.1mm barrel jack connector), 2.5A, PSU included"

FREE SYNTH: OSIRUS (Access Virus A/B/C Emulator) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing OSIRUS, a FREE software emulation of the Access Virus A/B/C by 'The Usual Suspects', which brings back to life these iconic synthesizers!

'The Usual Suspects' is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the DSP chip from original historic hardware synthesizers, which, in this case, is the Motorola DSP56300.

As is usual with The Usual Suspects releases, you’ll need to provide the original ROM, legally acquired, of course.

The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this an absolutely faithful Access Virus A/B/C recreation in software form.

More info here:
https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/osirus/

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds."

Diverse moods of Leviasynth / by Jexus.

video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)

"In 2025 Ashun Sound Machines contacted me and asked if I would like to create a set of unique presets for their upcoming synth. No details were disclosed about the instrument but, as you can imagine, I was curious. I agreed and several weeks later a monster 8-oscillator synth arrived at my doorstep. Today all of you can see it and hear it in action - the LEVIASYNTH is ready! Here's a quick video with some factory presets I created on the new Leviasynth. In this demo I kept the internal reverb low and did a fair amount of tweaking to give you a better idea of the timbre / behavior of the synth.
cheers;

ASM Leviasynth Gainstaging and Saturation

video upload by Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit

"This is a dive into how the gainstaging in Leviasynth® synthesizer effects saturation throughout the synth. There is a massive dynamic range in the unit so it can be an interesting area to explore and better understand when creating your sounds. Here I explore both the analog and digital saturation that occurs within the synth using level, oscillator combinations and the Digital Drive and Analog Predrive."
