New Elektron Outbox8 opens up Digitakt II.


video upload by keinseier

"A lot of cables, because: a lot of new routing options! Made possible by the breakout box Outbox8 for most Elektron boxes, in this case the Digitakt II. Ion this track I chose to send several channels to the AC Noises Continua into the Electronic Audio Experiments Scattering, others to the GFI Soils Ventus for Delay and Shimmer, and the rest dry. So many new options!"

FLOW 3 / LANCER'S LASH / EDDY / a handful of new modules / first patch


video upload by BRiES

"I just installed Shakmat's new snare voice into my rack - it is pretty awesome. I thought it would pair up nicely with Flow 3 as a kickdrum and Eddy for side-chaining the synths. I was right."

Elektron Outbox 8 — Information from Sweden


video upload by Elektron

"Outbox 8 adds eight outputs for configurable audio and CV, meaning you can turn your compatible Elektron machine into an octopus of connectivity. Add external effects. Separate your tracks out to a mixer or wherever. Control and sequence your modular gear or any other CV-equipped devices. And though Outbox 8 is predominantly made with your Elektron units in mind, it can do the same with a bunch more class-compliant gear too. Break out your sound and control, whatever the moment calls for."

"The GEN X-2 takes things a step further with added external control, letting you create punchy bass, screaming leads, and those spacey bleeps and bloops. It’s just as good in the studio as it is on the go."

Shakmat's Lancer's Lash Charges into Battle

video upload by Metamyther

"We take an in-depth look at Shakmat's Lancer's Lash, exploring how this powerful snare module creates everything from tight techno snaps to industrial percussion to glitchy IDM rhythms. I'll demonstrate the module's sound engine, modulation possibilities, tone shaping controls, and how it plays with other effects modules. Whether you're building a modular drum machine or producing industrial techno, EBM, IDM, or experimental electronic music, this review breaks down whether Lancer's Lash deserves a place in your rack."

Circuit-Bent Drum VST, OP-1 field, YAMAHA CS01 Electronica | Rest and Drop 2026-09-09 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"Experimental electronica featuring synth performances and a VST inspired by a circuit-bent 1980s drum machine.

On the YAMAHA CS01, a synth lead is performed while the MOOD MKII shifts the pitch and the ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE adds delay.

On the OP-1 field, each press of the keyboard triggers a phrase from the ENDLESS sequencer. Modulation is applied using the built-in CWO effect.

The rhythm is created with Bent 505, a VST currently in development. With the Jitter switch enabled, the sound changes with every trigger."

VÃ¥ld Labs KURARE | Every note is a crowd A swarm synthesizer by VÃ¥ld Labs Open Beta


video upload by VÃ¥ld Labs



"Two swarms of oscillators. Bring them together into a focused voice, or let them drift apart into beating textures, shifting harmonies and restless clouds of sound.

KURARE is a polyphonic synthesizer inspired by the Kuramoto model of collective synchronisation. Each oscillator responds to the others, creating sounds that gather, loosen and change as you play. The particles on screen follow the oscillators themselves, making that movement visible.

Four main controls shape the swarm:
• POPULATE adds oscillators, up to 32 per swarm.
• DECOUPLE moves from tightly synchronised tones to drifting clouds.
• DIVERGE spreads pitches into octave and overtone layers.
• EXCITE adds agitation and instability.

Explore five waveform collections, shape each swarm with SEM- or Polivoks-inspired filters, and add movement with three LFOs and two generative modulation lanes. The built-in sequencer brings seven VEKTE-derived algorithms, independent parts for each swarm and an arpeggiator.

16 voices. Two swarms per note. Plenty of room between order and chaos.

KURARE v0.5.0 is in public beta for macOS and Windows, free to download and use while the beta runs. #iOS soon.
