Mood Swinger — Drone FM Emotion Synthesizer

A voltage-controlled experimental instrument designed to play emotion as sound. The Mood Swinger merges FM drone synthesis with tactile performance controls, letting you sculpt evolving soundscapes that shift between love, pain, happiness, and anger.

At the center is a gamepad-inspired joystick interface, allowing expressive, real-time modulation of complex drone layers. A built-in light-sensitive sensor reacts to environmental changes, adding organic movement and unpredictability to the sound.

The system generates cross-modulated frequencies and evolving textures, blending harmonic warmth with harsh dissonance. Push the controls far enough, and the gate opens, unleashing intense, unstable sonic states.

Features:

* FM-based drone engine with deep modulation
* Emotional state switching: Pain / Happy / Anger / Love
* Joystick controller for expressive performance
* Light sensor for reactive sound modulation
* Full CV control (Eurorack compatible)
* Works as both standalone instrument and modular system component
* Integrates with sequencers, LFOs, and external CV sources

This isn’t just a synthesizer—it’s a performance instrument for emotional exploration, where tension and harmony continuously collide.

Apparatus | Tube Synthesizer | VST,AU

video upload by Futulyric

You can find demos of the hardware Apparatus tube synthesizer in previous posts here.

"The Apparatus plugin is a rompler based on meticulously sampled oscillators from the Eternal Engine EMI tube synthesizer of the same name. The plugin supports polyphony and allows you to utilize the sound of exclusive tube synthesis on a much more modest budget."

It appears to have an original red Surrey Electronics case, compared to this racked one. You'll find a spec sheet there as well.

"Surrey Electronics Spectrum Shifter

Uses the same principle as Bode frequency shifter. Ostensibly for 'Howl Reduction' but capable of some very interesting effects. Essentially, unlike a pitch shifter, a frequency shifter does not preserve the harmonic relationships in the input signal. In practice this means the output quickly starts to deviate from what is going in and extra tones are added which then interact and interfere with the source producing new harmonics and drones. Very good with other fx. Great studio addition as you can plug allsorts in not just for vocals.

31cm x 27cm x 24cm
240v unit

Mono input and output via 1/4" jacks on the rear. (standard 'guitar' Jacks)
some scuffs and slider plastic is missing, did not replace as does not affect use. See photos."

No computers, no plugins, just pure hardware (with a touch of bit-crushing) and hands-on performance.

Watch as layers of classic synths bring new life to one of the most recognizable themes in video game history, with quick cuts showcasing the instruments behind the sound.
