Behind the Music: Chang Rodrigues' Home Studio (Electronic Beats TV)

video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats TV

"For this episode of Electronic Beats TV, we visited Brazilian-born, Berlin-based artist Chang Rodrigues in her home studio.
With a background in music and a deep curiosity for synthesis and sound design, she has developed a unique approach that blends club-oriented electronic music with experimentation and sonic exploration.
Inside her studio, mainly analog instruments, modular gear, and drum machines take centre stage, while the computer and Ableton are used mainly for recording. Chang explains why the Elektron Digitakt has become the heart of her workflow, how she combines MIDI and CV to connect her instruments, and why modular synthesis continues to fascinate her with its almost endless creative possibilities.
Beyond the gear, we also talk about creativity, trusting your ears, embracing happy accidents, and why she sees sound as a living organism—something that constantly evolves through interaction rather than remaining fixed."

Rithmatic: a DX7 Patch Librarian for the KORG volca FM2

via https://madewithbestpractice.com/rithmatic/

"Rithmatic turns the 64-slot Korg volca FM2 into a searchable, offline library of tens of thousands of classic DX7 patches, all credited to the public collections they came from, and pushes any voice straight to the synth, with full one-file backup and restore of the whole box, plus real-time control of its sequencer transport and live motion. And because it carries its own FM engine, Rithmatic is a playable DX7-style synth in its own right: plug in any MIDI keyboard and play those patches with no hardware synth at all. Korg never made a librarian for the FM2, and unlike the desktop options (Dexed, Patch Base) this one runs on the phone already in your bag. Free, local-first, no account.

Music tooling is a big part of what we do, and we also make Emojio Paint Composer, a browser music sequencer that speaks full MIDI."

Neiro N106 Plugin: Digital Emulation & Real Hardware Render | Sound Demo

video upload by Davide Puxeddu

"In this video, I showcase the true power of the Neiro Audio N106 plugin. We are doing a direct comparison: Digital Emulation vs Real Analog Hardware Render! You will hear the huge difference when the digital preset is suddenly processed through the actual analog circuitry.

How does it work? The N106 is not just a standard VST. You compose your track using their high-quality digital emulation without any streaming latency. Once your MIDI and automations are locked in, the plugin sends your data directly to Neiro Studios. There, it is fed through a real physical Roland Juno-106 (specifically a hardware Kiwi 106 synth). The analog output is recorded using high-end RME Fireface UCX interfaces and automatically downloaded right back into your DAW as a WAV audio file. It's exactly like owning the real vintage analog synthesizer remotely.

To sit perfectly in a mix, I've also processed these sounds through external hardware-style reverb and delay.

🎧 Best experienced with studio monitors or high-quality headphones.

More Info: https://neiroaudio.com"

"Connect to a classic analog synthesizer revered for its lush, warm sounds. The Neiro N106 features a rich chorus effect that’s instantly recognizable from classic tracks like 'Jump' and 'Tom Sawyer'.

Connect directly to the Roland Juno-106 unit today."

OktaDie — Organismic Touch Synth on iPad | Drone Demo, No Talking

video upload by Diego Capoccitti

Follow-up to this post.

"OktaDie is an 'organismic' synthesizer for iPad: eight touch-sensitive voices, a cross-modulation matrix, a dual modulated delay and an overdrive — with no keyboard, no scale and no quantisation anywhere in the signal path. No talking in this video: just hands on the glass. Everything you hear is OktaDie running standalone on iPad (AUv3 plugin versions included), played entirely on the eight pads — no MIDI keyboard, no sequencer, no external processing.

🎛️ ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT
The eight generators are closer to a vintage electric organ than to a VCO. TUNE moves each voice continuously across a huge untempered range, SHARP morphs the waveform from triangle to square, and the envelope shapes pitch and waveform as it moves instead of just opening a VCA after it. Voices work in four pairs and two groups, each pair picking its own modulation source — another pair, the Hyper LFO, or the instrument's own output. TOTAL FB feeds the post-distortion signal back in and turns the whole machine, delay and drive included, into one giant FM structure. Noise, bleed and drift are features here, not defects: it never produces exactly the same sound twice.

👆 PLAYED BY TOUCH
Eight multitouch pads replace the keyboard. Play with several fingers at once, slide sideways to glide from one pad to the next, press harder to open the envelope further — OktaDie reads the contact area of your fingertip, and Apple Pencil pressure where available.

📱 iOS VERSION (iPhone & iPad)
Standalone app + two AUv3 extensions: OktaDie as an instrument and OktaDie FX to run your own audio through the delay, drive and feedback loop. Works in AUM, GarageBand, Cubasis, Drambo and Logic for iPad.

💻 DESKTOP VERSION (Mac & Windows)
Available in AU, VST3 and AAX formats for all major DAWs. Presets are shared with the iOS version.
