Introducing KOMA KASSIOPEIA, a 4-channel DC interface
video upload by KOMA Elektronik
"Kassiopeia is a 4-channel DC interface that lets you control motors, solenoids, LEDs, fans, lights and more with MIDI or CV/Gate.
Tap, shake, vibrate, and move objects to create sound in ways you’ve never imagined. Build kinetic sound installations, trigger solenoids rhythmically, or illuminate objects for an immersive performance.

"Kassiopeia is a 4-channel DC interface that lets you control motors, solenoids, LEDs, fans, lights and more with MIDI or CV/Gate.
Tap, shake, vibrate, and move objects to create sound in ways you’ve never imagined. Build kinetic sound installations, trigger solenoids rhythmically, or illuminate objects for an immersive performance.
What if sound wasn’t just about speakers and synthesizers? What if you could make music by striking metal plates, shaking objects, or vibrating strings?
Kassiopeia is a 4-channel DC interface that turns movement into sound and light. It lets you control motors, solenoids, fans, LEDs and lamps using MIDI or CV/Gate. Each channel can either smoothly adjust power levels (great for controlling motors and movement) or send short, punchy triggers (perfect for percussive hits).
Designed for experimental musicians, sound artists, and tinkerers, Kassiopeia lets you:
Trigger solenoids to create percussive rhythms on any object.
Control motors and fans to shak, vibrate, or bow strings.
Control lamps and LEDs for an immersive performance.
Build kinetic sound sculptures that interact with the physical world.
Power-starve devices for glitchy, unpredictable results.
Simply connect it to a laptop via MIDI (Ableton-ready!) or control it with CV/Gate from your modular system.
During its development, we worked closely with Hildur Guðnadóttir and her band Osmium, incorporating ideas from the modified Halldorophone used in the Joker soundtrack. It’s an instrument of endless possibilities—where will you take it?"
KASSIOPEIA actually made its first mention on the site back on May 7, 2025.

Easel Sample Transformation
video upload by Todd Barton
"I'm always amazing how the Easel can transform & transmogrify a single sound. I begin with a single gong hit sample from the Morphagene going into Aux In on the Easel. Slowly gate that then move on the Balance Modulate it and finally bring in the Complex Oscillator for some thumps. Enjoy!

Rhodes and Prophet-10 Simple Recording Track | Warm arms 2026-03-19 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A track created with Rhodes MKII, Prophet-10, OP-1 field, drums, and bass. It is built from simple performance and recording.
The Rhodes MKII is played with chorus from the CE-5. After recording, it is processed through Lofi Tape in the DAW.
On the Prophet-10, a synth lead is performed while switching patches during playback.
On the OP-1 field, sampled voice is played with the FAZOR effect. It is further processed through MOOD MKII with reverb and MicroLoop.
The bass is recorded through a BASS DRIVER DI. The drums are recorded separately and edited in the DAW, then processed as a group through Lofi Tape."

ULTRAMASTER KR-106 Open Source Roland Juno-106 Soft Synth Emulation
"A virtual analog synthesizer inspired by the classic Roland Juno polysynths, with DSP calibrated from hardware measurements, firmware analysis, and factory schematics. 6-voice polyphonic.
Free and open source. AU, VST3, CLAP, LV2, and standalone."
Additional details via Reddit:
"We started building a Juno software synth in a Brooklyn loft in 2000. 25 years later, we're releasing it as open source. Meet the Ultramaster KR-106.
Back in 2000, my buddy Dave and I started Ultramaster Group with a wild idea: professional audio software for Linux. We were young, broke, working in a loft in Brooklyn, and perhaps a little bit ahead of our time.
Life happened. I went on to start a screen printing studio. Dave ended up at Google. But we never really stopped thinking about the synth.
Fast forward 25 years. Hardware is exponentially faster, DSP methodology has evolved, and we now have access to oscilloscopes, service manuals, and communities like this one. So we went back to the source code and overhauled everything.
The KR-106 is a 6-voice polyphonic Juno-106 emulation with:
Per-voice DCO, VCF (TPT cascade, IR3109 OTA-C design with 2x oversampling), VCA, and ADSR
Sub-oscillator (CD4013 flip-flop model) and noise source (2SC945 avalanche model)
PWM modes (manual / LFO / envelope)
4-position HPF (bass boost / flat / 240 Hz / 720 Hz)
Per-voice component variance modeling analog tolerances (pitch ±3¢, envelope ±8%, VCA ±0.5 dB, pulse width)
BBD chorus emulation (MN3009 modeled with Hermite interpolation)
Arpeggiator, portamento, Mono/Poly I/Poly II key modes
Two calibration modes: '1984 Mode' (firmware + schematics) and '1982 Mode' (circuit analysis + hardware measurements from my own Juno-6)
128 factory presets decoded from original SYSEX data
AU/VST3 on Mac, VST3/LV2 on Linux, VST3 on Windows, plus Standalone
It's 100% free, GPL-licensed, and we don't take donations. We just want it to be as accurate as possible, and we'd love help getting there.

DESIRE MACHINE - Quantizer
video upload by Desire Machine
"A jam with the modulars , quantizer and clouds without edits or overdubs ,direct to disk recording."
Some additional info via supporting member, Oktavision:
"Here's another ambient track from my alias ambient project 'Desire Machine'
It's a semi generative pattern from a maths patch fed into Doepfers quantizer playing the melody,
The atmosphere is generated by the melody being fed into clouds which in turn is triggered from Maths EOC."
