Micromonsta 2 – Best Sounds (Real Songs, No Talking)

video upload by STEHRÆON

"My favorite sounds of the Audiothingies Micromonsta 2 in real song clips from my tracks.
Micromonsta 2 in real use: pads, plucks, basses + arpeggiator lines — no talk, just sound.

Not sponsored.

Recorded dawless on a Tascam Model 12. No extra FX. No edits."

"2/12/26 (power test) Metasonix TM-3 & TM-6 + Ace Tone FR-1 + Alesis MIDIVERB II (65)

Fox trot, tango, mambo. We are 6/8ths of the way towards our goal of creating a modular octagon. And the main corner is coming together pretty strongly now, with the EML 400 over the TR-909, the RE-201 over the EML 400, the DC-30 over the RE-201, the Metasonix TM-3 & TM-6 over the DC-30, and the Ace Tone FR-1 Rhythm Ace over all of that. This was a quick test of some new power conditioners and placements. The FR-1 audio is multiplied and sent to the TM-3 and TM-6 CV inputs. The TM-3 audio output runs through the TM-6. The stereo chorus is from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."

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
