Cuckoo Introduces the SVENSSON 49 Looping Keyboard by AUXY

I gave the new SVENSSON 49 keyboard my sound signature! Dream collab with AUXY!
video upload by True Cuckoo

"Everything about the new SVENSSON 49 keyboard by AUXY, in this friendly Tutorial."


"Svensson 49 is a digital keyboard with expressive sounds, a playful looper, and a personality of its own.

No menus to dive through. No manual to read before you start. Just play, loop, and explore your musical ideas.

Svensson uses a mix of samples and wavetables to generate sounds that range from acoustic to synthetic, with a special focus on everything in between.

The sounds are designed by Cuckoo. We love how much care he puts into making his sounds feel colorful and expressive, and how naturally he blends synths with pianos and other acoustic instruments.

Loop and Layer
Svensson keeps track of the notes you play, so you don’t have to hit record before you start. If you like what you just played, hit Loop to capture it.

The four sound categories are also separate parts that can be looped individually. Loops can be as long as you want, and you can add as many layers as you want.

Build Quality
Svensson has a metal body with solid oak sides and is manufactured in Germany. It uses a Fatar keyboard with 49 semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys.

The built-in speaker is custom-made by Swedish speaker guru Ingvar Öhman. It's surprisingly loud and lets you play so other people can hear without additional gear. Perfect for living room jams.

Connections
Sustain pedal
Stereo line out
Headphones
USB-A for class-compliant audio and MIDI
USB-C for power and data

Availability
We're on the final stretch of getting Svensson ready for production. The price is not fully locked in, but expected to be around 899 EUR / 999 USD.

Preorders for the first limited batch will start soon. The first units will ship to customers in early fall 2026."

GreyScale-HyperPulse #duos #cs10 | Phase5


video upload by plantssystem

"GreyScale releases 'HyperPulse' — a raw pulse forged by Duos and the Yamaha CS‑10.
Minimal voltage shifts collide with tight rhythmic logic, creating a pulse that keeps mutating in real time. A single line of energy, pushed into overdrive."

GreyScale - Phase5 "The boundary where everything loses its color.

The GreyScale project, Chapter 5 (Phase 5), has finally begun.

'GreyScale - Phase 5'

A soundscape constructed more deeply and meticulously through the previous phases.

We have poured the emotions that are losing their form, and the truth that lies beyond, into the sound. We were able to reach Phase 5 thanks to all of you who always listen.

Please enjoy the expansive world of sound that fills every corner, using headphones or speakers.

video upload by RetroSound

"Experience the early 90s sound by Genesis’ “Hold On My Heart,” from the album We Can’t Dance (1992) recreated using two of the most powerful synths of the era:

The Roland JD-800 and Korg Wavestation.
Drums: Roland TR-808

This video dives into lush digital textures, warm pads, and expressive atmospheric layers that defined a generation of pop and progressive rock. From shimmering soundscapes to evolving cinematic tones, you’ll hear the unique character of these classic synths—known for their rich sound design capabilities and emotional depth.

Whether you're a fan of vintage gear, a producer chasing that authentic retro sound, or a Genesis enthusiast, this performance captures the essence of timeless synth artistry."

Synapase Audio Dune 3 Atmospheric Motion Presets. Sound Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"Drifted Elements is a bank of 50 atmospheric presets for Synapse Audio Dune 3, focused on abstract textures, evolving layers and spatial sound design. The bank is built around movement and depth, with sounds that slowly change over time.
🌊 The soundset includes: 12 Pads, 13 Strings, 13 Textures, and 12 Drones.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/dune...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.

🫧 The patches range from soft and airy tones to darker and more textured sounds. You’ll find drifting pads, distant strings, layered textures, and deep drones—all designed to add space, atmosphere, and subtle motion without taking over the track.

🎛 ModWheel controls brightness, opening the sound and adding harmonic content, while velocity (key pressure) affects volume, making the presets more expressive and responsive to playing.

💎 The soundset is suitable for ambient, cinematic, experimental electronic, IDM, as well as film, game, and visual sound design where atmosphere and space are important.

💡 Ensure that you are using the latest software version.
To add presets to the collection, open the plugin Browser, click Menu in the upper left corner, then select Import Folder, and specify the folder on your computer."

TONVERK & EVIL PET: One Sound Source and Modulated Lines


video upload by keinseier

"Proof of concept type thing - the idea was that tonal tracks are using the same single sample and all the single melodies fade in and out independantly by unsynced LFOs.
Needs more work, but works. Evil Pet delivering the flourishes as a send effect.
(Edit: Ok, the strings are not from that one sound source...)"

Befaco Introduces Iroi Stereo Effects Processor Eurorack Module


video upload by Befacosynth

"A Shortcut for Atmospheric Processing
Iroi is a compact, 18 HP stereo effects powerhouse designed to turn any external signal into a deep, evolving soundscape. It inherits the sophisticated processing chain of its predecessor, Oneiroi. Combines a unique signal chain composed of a multimode filter, a VCA, a unique character resonator, a versatile delay, and an experimental Reverb. The filter - VCA act like a block that can be placed at any point on the signal chain"

Atmospheric FX Processing in Eurorack // IROI from BEFACO

video upload by DivKid and Befacosynth

"Here's Iroi from Befaco, which is the right hand side of Oneiroi standing alone at 18HP as a stereo atmospheric sound FX processor for Eurorack. There's improvements made and more processing headroom with Iroi and it offers stereo multimode filter, 3 band resonator, 2 tape delay and ambience reverb and reverse FX. Lots of CV, on board modulation and randomisation."

Press release follows:


"BEFACO's NEW MODULE: IROI

The Oneiroi, in Greek mythology, were dark-winged spirits of the night who emerged to bring dreams and nightmares to mortals. Our ambient synthesizer, Oneiroi, takes its name from them, evoking that shifting, dreamlike realm of sound.

​IROI is derived from 'Oneiroi' and carries that same essence forward, distilling it into something more compact and open to external signals, while preserving its cinematic feel that connects us to the world of dreams and the unknown.

What is IROI?

IROI is a stereo effects module based on the right half of the original Oneiroi. It applies Oneiroi’s sonic character to external sources in a more compact format, while incorporating subtle improvements developed throughout the Oneiroi project. Designed to shape, transform, and immerse sound, Iroi carries forward the dreamlike essence of its predecessor into a dedicated effects processor.

Audio Core: Powered by OWL mk3, featuring 24-bit 48 kHz stereo audio resolution (with 32-bit internal processing) and a full stereo signal path.

Filter: Multimode filter offering low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, and comb filtering, with flexible positioning within the effects chain.

Digital VCA.

Resonator: Three-band resonator with dedicated tune and feedback controls.

Delay: Two-tap echo (delay) with adjustable time and density.

Reverb: Comprehensive reverb effect with macro control over size, filtering, and direction.

Modulation: Various types of self-modulation, offering configurable routing and control over level and speed.

Control Voltage (CV): CV inputs for all primary parameters. Four of these inputs are dynamically assignable to secondary parameters.

Synchronization: External sync input supports clock speeds from 30 BPM to 300 BPM.

Randomization: Powerful randomizer with a flexible mapping system, including undo/redo functionality.

IROI is set to be released on April 30th, 2026 and the launching price will be 275€ (assembled version) and 210€ (DIY Kit).

Find us at Superbooth 2026, in BoothZ180 to see IROI live and take a peek at our upcoming products, we're pretty sure you'll love them."

Chase Bliss Introduces Big Time – Analog/Digital Delay


video upload by chase bliss

"Big Time revisits the mixed-up circuitry of rackmount echoes from the early 80s, where advanced analog engineering was used to prop up crude digital systems. What would happen if that hybrid circuitry were pushed to its extremes? Big Time is our answer, stuffed with misbiased modulations, saturating loops, and sequenced echoes.

Time to live large."
