Can you make music with a drill?
video upload by Oddment
"We traded an ODD-1 to Eternal Research Music for one of their Demon Boxes. It was a great chance to take 4 household objects and see if I could turn them into one coherent SYNTH sound with ODD-1. I must say, I am really happy with the result! What do you think?
Shipping now in the U.S.
The ODD-1 is a microsonic (granular) instrument — a synthesizer that chops sound into small pieces and lets you re-pitch and rearrange them, with a knob for every function required and patching by holding any knob down.

video upload by sonicstate
"Paulee spends some quality time with the (@KorgOfficial) KORG OPSIX.
They call it the Altered FM synth - and it not only make FM more accessible and tweakable, but adds a bunch of extended FM capabilities to the 6 operator FM synthesis. Additive, Subtractive, Wave folding and more is possible with this little power house. Currently in its MKII format which upgrades the polyphony from 32 to a whopping 64 voices. This was the MK1 but with V2.0 firmware , which added the FX operator type."

Korg Monotron Delay ambient
video upload by Fedir Tkachov Music
"Recently I began the process of either cutting down or completely quitting eurorack, which freed some money and I could afford getting an electric guitar and this Korg Monotron Delay. I had it on loan once I really liked the sound and expressiveness of it, but now I have my own. This is one of the earliest recordings, running through Eventide Blackhole or two."

Unusable Plugin Updates - New Modes from the 8th of October release shown briefly
video upload by Unusable Engineering
"This video is a quick showcase of the new modes and functionality added in the 8th of October 2026 update to the full Unusable Engineering range. All plugins (synths and effects) have gotten updates - but some have also gotten new modes, which is what I show in this video.
It is not going in depth on anything, if you wanna know more, I suggest you check the news post on unusable.net or the individual product pages.
So, this video… It is one of the first times I am using the Windows machine in a video. I was basically testing the installers and the plugins for bugs and decided to make this video, which is kind of a different release video to what I usually do on updates.
The main line is a sequence from the Keystep controller controlling the coming ‘Currents & Nostalgia’ synth with a simple keyboard sound.
The plugins with new modes or sound functions are activated and deactivated one by one in the following order:
Entropy Encoder - showing off the buffer repeat effect that is placed before the codec emulator.
Spectral Pressure Chamber - showing off the Resonance mode, basically changing the dynamics processing into tuned delay lines for a comb resonator effect.
Grain Discharge - showing off the new pitch modes - chromatic and pentatonic for more dense grain clouds.
Frequency Guillotine - showing off the new envelope follower connected to dry/wet balance.Harmonic Dissector - showing off the new wave folders in each filter section.
Synaptic Resonance - showing off the new plane length parameters that are available for both stim and read plane.
All plugins are updated to remember resize scaling for the instance and some other fixes and functional updates.
All the Best,
Rasmus"
