First Steps with OXI One MKII / EP. 7: Pattern Workflow 01


video upload by OXI Instruments

First Steps with OXI One series

"In this episode we explore how to work with sequence pages, pattern length, looping, and editing tools in the OXI sequencer.

First, we look at pages. OXI One MKII organizes sequences into 8 pages of 16 steps, giving you up to 128 steps per pattern. You’ll learn how to navigate between pages, add full pages to a sequence, copy and paste entire pages, and extend your pattern length by adding pages.

Next, we focus on patterns. We cover how to set start and end points, manage longer patterns while keeping full control of your workflow, and use the smart behavior that preserves sequence length when moving loop points. We will also duplicate patterns, and create temporary loops to focus on specific sections of your sequence.

Finally, we explore additional workflow tools, including selecting and editing groups of steps, tie notes across pages, and use the Follow function to keep the view synced with the transport while playing longer patterns. We also look at the Preview function in Mono, Poly, Multitrack, and Chord modes to hear notes, root tones, and chord variations while composing.

J3PO // "TUTU" // solo live DAW-less performance


video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"Julian 'J3PO' Pollack performs 'TuTu' by Marcus Miller, from the album of the same name by Miles Davis.

This music was recorded live, in one take. No DAW was used in the process of making this music except to capture the audio. This first release is part of a new solo performance project. Stay tuned (and subscribe if you haven't already) for more.

Gear used: Arturia Keystep Pro (sequencing), Roland TR-8s, Prophet Rev2, Minimoog, Vintage Vibe Electric Piano. Pedals: Chroma Console, Meris Mercury 7, Mobius, Timeline, Big Sky, Tensor, Ottobit.
The computer in the background is only being used for the purpose of recording the performance. Everything you are hearing is being performed/triggered live from the hardware instruments."

Sequential Circuits Six-Trak song Multitimbrality 11.3.2026.


video upload by Veli-Matti Rautio

"My very first Six-Trak multitimbral performace with synths own sequencer : )
Five sequencer track's (sounds) recorded first with Six-Trak's sounds and solo made live when making this video. Strymon Mobius Chorus used fattening sounds :) Sony FDR-AX43A video camera. Composed, played, arranged and improvised by me in Studio Tupos upstairs living room 11.3.2026. Nr. 1530.
Kas tässäpä ihka ensimmäinen Six-Trakin omilla soundeilla ja sekkarilla tehty multitimbraalinen esitys :) MS Audiotronin kataloogissa 84 - 85 mainittiin tämän olevan pienstudion perustyökalu : ) Sekkarissa käytetty viisi raitaa/ääntä ja soolo soitettu päälle kuudentena äänenä. Strymon Mobius tarjosi Choruksen lihavoittamaan synan ääniä. Kuvaajana Sony FDR-AX43A."

Introducing the Temecula DSP DEEP/4


video uploads by TemeculaDSP



via Temecula DSP

DEEP/4 is a painstaking recreation of one of the most powerful multi-effects processors ever built. Every algorithm has been rebuilt at the instruction level from the original 24-bit DSP hardware, preserving the exact digital character of the algorithms that made these units legendary in studios worldwide.

All 43 original algorithms, mathematically verified against the original DSP architecture. No guesswork.

Features

Four Independent Effects Engines

The DEEP/4 is a powerhouse multi-effects processor featuring 43 fully programmable, high-fidelity algorithms including reverbs, chorus, flanging, delays, distortion, and pitch shifting. Operate it as a single massive effects system, a pair of stereo processors, or four entirely independent units. Its advanced routing matrix supports true serial, parallel, and feedback configurations to sculpt complex effect topologies that conventional units simply can't touch.
Flexible Multi-Unit Routing

Run all four units in series for massive effect chains, split them into parallel paths for layered textures, or use feedback routing to create evolving, self-modulating soundscapes. DEEP/4 provides independent routing control for each pair (A/B and C/D) plus a main bus link — supporting serial, parallel, and two feedback configurations with adjustable feedback amount. Use it as a single 4-unit processor, two independent stereo pairs, or four standalone effects.
43 Algorithms Across 7 Categories

From lush reverbs and complex multi-tap delays to pitch shifters, dynamics processors, and guitar amp simulations — every algorithm from the original hardware is here, rebuilt at the instruction level and fully programmable.

DiscoDSP Releases Retromulator Based on The Usual Suspects dsp56300 Engine


via DiscoDSP

[Note: although DiscoDSP gives credit to The Usual Suspects, it's my understanding TUS is not happy about it. From a forum:
"He basically took our source, put his own wrapper on it and is trying to sell it and use it to promote his own business. Can't prevent it, but frankly this is reprehensible IMHO.

Yes. He knows he cannot legally "sell" it due to the licensing model our code is published under. Therefore he sells "support" of "his development efforts" to include difficult things like "git clone" and other Arcane and extremely difficult stuff. sigh... I'd strongly advise anyone using it not to actually pay him for it, but that is just my opinion.]
What isn't clear is whether the UI is just the player above or includes the full editors by The Usual Suspects. I'm hearing it's just the player, which in effect might be an upsell for the full editors by The Usual Suspects.

That said:

"Retromulator brings legendary hardware cores back to life through authentic low-level emulation. The virtual analog synths are powered by a faithful recreation of the Motorola DSP 56300 processor, the Yamaha DX7 runs a full emulation of its original chip set, and the Akai S1000 sampler plays your SF2, SFZ, and Bliss sample banks with studio-quality interpolation. Each core runs its actual firmware or sample data — delivering the unmistakable character of hardware that defined electronic music from the early 80s through the 2000s.

Unlike traditional software emulations that recreate synthesizer behavior by approximation, Retromulator emulates the original integrated circuits at the hardware level. The virtual analog synths run on a cycle-accurate Motorola DSP 56300, the Yamaha DX7 runs a full emulation of its Hitachi HD6303R sub-CPU and Yamaha YM21280/YM21290 EGS/OPS chip set, and the Akai S1000 sampler runs on the SFZero v3.0.0 engine with 8-point sinc interpolation supporting SF2, SFZ, ZBP, and ZBB sample banks. Each core executes its authentic firmware or sample data exactly as intended.

Load the ROM firmware from your own hardware or sample banks from your library, place them in the designated folder, and Retromulator takes care of the rest. The result is not an approximation — it is the real hardware running inside your DAW.

Retromulator is built on Gearmulator, an open-source synthesizer emulation project by the dsp56300 team. We are grateful for their extraordinary work in bringing these classic instruments back to life."
