Unusable Engineering Slot Sequencers | How They Work


video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A walkthrough of the shared slot sequencer system added to all Unusable Engineering effects in version 1.3.0.

Depending on the plugin, the sequencer has four or eight slots. Each slot stores a different set of effect parameters, and the plugin can step or slew between those settings manually, using an internal clock, or in sync with the host.

This video covers:
editing and selecting slots
manual movement between settings
internal and host-clock stepping
Slew in free and clocked modes
copying and pasting slots
randomization
enabling and disabling slots
differences between individual plugins
and a bit of the philosophy behind it"

"Curves & Membranes has also gained a new oscillator mode called Node Mode.

The normal oscillator uses Bézier handles to shape its single-cycle waveform. In Node Mode those handles are replaced by vector points, which changes how the synth sounds and allows much deeper wave folding.

It gives the synth a noticeably more modern and aggressive side while still using the same one-oscillator architecture. Curves & Membranes also got a new Vel->Radius option, where incoming velocity can multiply the radius of its orbital modulators by up to 5x. That makes harder notes introduce more movement rather than just changing level or filter response.

There is also now a preset browser across the full lineup, along with some starting-point presets, version checking and a few smaller workflow and stability improvements.

The updates are free for existing owners and available through the account page: https://www.unusable.net/account/

The two freebies (Binaural Modulator and Cavitation Fractures) have also gotten updated with slot-sequencer, preset-system and some bug fixes.

The Andromeda I Could Never Afford | Fabric Vintage Andromeda


video upload by Autodafe

"The Alesis Andromeda A6 has always been one of my dream synthesizers — unfortunately, it was expensive when it was released, and it's definitely not getting any cheaper today!

I did get the chance to spend some time with a real Andromeda many years ago, when a friend and I produced a demo CD featuring some of its sounds. I still remember being seriously impressed by that huge, complex analog machine.

AIR Music Tech Fabric Vintage Andromeda brings the character of the Alesis Andromeda A6 into the Fabric environment using AIR's advanced multi-sample synthesis engine. It features two main multi-sample oscillators, a virtual analog sub oscillator, noise generator, extensive modulation, envelopes, arpeggiator and a comprehensive effects section.

In this No Talking demo, I'll simply play through a selection of presets and sounds so you can hear what Fabric Vintage Andromeda can do without interruptions.

Theremin & Modular Synth — Full Live Set | Mouyao


video upload by Mouyao

"Live performance recorded at Sleepy Eyes vol.4 by Lunapapa
小号地段Trumpetopia ,Beijing.
August 8, 2026
Artist / Theremin / Modular Synthesizer: Mouyao

My newest live set, first performed in Beijing, using an Abhar, OpenTheremin, and several other modular synthesizers. The performance took place in a small room tucked away in one of Beijing’s hutongs, filled with all kinds of interesting objects and instruments, including a drum kit and cymbals. In the middle section of the set, I tried to explore different frequencies and resonances, searching for ways to make the room itself vibrate (and perhaps even summon a few ghosts from the hutong lol)
After the performance, some audience told me they could feel a strong physical energy and vibration from the back of the room. So maybe the room really was responding."

Michael Whalen's Synth Jam. "SHREDDING! Unapologetically…"


video upload by Michael Whalen

"Here’s some shredness—which, apparently, works best at slower tempos.

I absolutely LOVE this factory sound on the Waldorf Quantum MK II. This :90 romp features some crazy pitch-wheel work, polyphonic aftertouch, and my (patented 😂) hand-over-hand technique.

As ever, the backing track was created entirely by me (no AI BS) and the solo was played LIVE, in one continuous take, for the cameras. No edits. No assembling the 'best bits.' Just playing... Enjoy. M"
