Ocean Swift Releases Oscillarys - Flagship NKS Synthesizer

video uploads by Ocean Swift / Faxi Nadu

Press release follows:

Ocean Swift releases Oscillarys - a flagship atmospheric synthesis engine for Kontakt Player

Ocean Swift announces the release of Oscillarys, a new flagship NKS instrument developed in collaboration with Native Instruments. Crafted for cinematic scoring and deep ambience, Oscillarys is a three-layered synthesis engine designed to bridge the gap between raw texture and ethereal musicality

The developer quotes:

"Oscillarys blurs the border between the organic and the spectral with an atmospheric synthesis engine built for motion. By layering deeply detailed textures with sweeping filters and shifting modulations, this instrument conjures tones that breathe, dissolve, and reform - shifting seamlessly from crystalline harmonics to distant electric choirs. It offers a sonic body that is darker, smoother, and undeniably alive with motion, bridging the gap between raw texture and ethereal musicality."

Oscillarys is available exclusively via the Native Instruments online shop starting February 12, 2026, for an introductory price of €47.40 (Regular MSRP €79.99), reflecting a 40% discount.

Purchase at Native Instruments

Soniccouture Releases Xylophone: 1930s Vintage Percussion

video upload by Soniccouture

"Soniccouture is pleased to announce an important addition to their highly rated percussion series: Xylophone.

'Modern xylophones can sound hard and unpleasant; many use synthetic tone bars. This xylophone had a warmth and personality to it that seemed almost cosy, friendlier than those we'd played before. Made by the Leedy Company, it is made of Honduran Rosewood and is beautifully worn and burnished and has plenty of character.

This instrument was owned (+ signed) by the celebrated British-Canadian jazz percussionist Peter Appleyard (1928-2013) - a true piece of musical history.'

Web Page: https://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/26-percussion/g95-xylophone/

INTRO OFFER
Xylophone is available for an intro offer of €90 (MSRP. €129) Until March 3rd"

Ambient Layers of Sustained Pads and Tape Piano | Outskirts 2026-02-12 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This is an ambient electronica piece where sustained tones from the volca fm2 are layered with tape loops and performances on the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10.

The volca fm2 is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, creating continuous pad textures.

A piano performance is recorded onto a tape loop, played back on a cassette tape player with pitch adjustments. The output is processed through ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE for delay, with feedback occasionally increased to form dense clusters of sound.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed through blueSky for reverb."

Scramble | From Random Patch to Heavy Electro-Rock – OP-XY Jam

video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"In this video, I explore the scramble function on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY to generate random sounds and turn them into a full alternative electro-rock track.

I’m not a sound design expert, but I’m fascinated by the process of discovering new textures through experimentation. Using the OP-XY’s synthesis engines, I started generating random patches and shaping them into something cohesive.

At one point, a powerful sound emerged — the opening tone of the track — and everything else grew from there.

This piece moves into alternative electro-rock territory, blending:
Heavy electronic beats
Distorted bass lines
Aggressive synth textures
Raw, energetic sound design

Most of the sounds remain very close to their original scrambled versions. I only made subtle adjustments to fit the arrangement and dynamics.

This workflow felt spontaneous, unpredictable, and surprisingly personal, probably one of the most “mine” tracks I’ve made so far.

🔥 If you’re into dark/heavy electronic music, synth textures and Teenage Engineering gears, this track is for you. 🔥

Hope you enjoy it!

🎧 For the full immersive experience — subtle textures, evolving pads, spatial details, and low-end nuances — listening with headphones is highly recommended.
