Introducing GeoShaku, part of GeoSWAM Collection 3/4.
video upload by Jordan Rudess
"The Shakuhachi has a sound all its own. Traditionally crafted from bamboo, this end-blown flute is known for its breathy, meditative tones, subtle nuances, and incredible ability to express emotion. From soft, airy whispers to deep, resonant notes, it can sound almost as if the instrument itself is breathing.
One of the things I love most about GeoShred is how incredibly expressive, ultra-realistic, and just plain fun these instruments are to play. And now there are even more sounds to explore!
You can try any instrument before buying, and we’re also offering an introductory 33% discount on GeoSWAM 3/4 collections.
So here’s a little Shakuhachi performance for you. Who knew a virtual bamboo flute could take you on such a musical journey? 😎🎶

LOOM-8 Sequencing Groovebox for the M-VAVE FM-1
video upload by Charles Vestal
You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.
"Loom-8 is an 8 track, sequencer-focused groovebox for the M-VAVE FM-1 with a quick workflow for creating variety in your arrangements, heavily inspired by the OP-XY workflow.
Install, demo, and more information at https://charlesvestal.github.io/fm1-l..."



"A pocket groovebox for the M-VAVE FM-1. Eight tracks, each in its own colour, on six synth engines, a sample player, a break slicer and a drum kit; a 64-step sequencer with tricks and parameter locks; and weave, which crosses two patterns into a third.
What's in it
Eight tracks, each with eight patterns of up to 64 steps: knit (the everyday subtractive voice, with a supersaw unison), rayon (two-operator FM), jacquard (wavetables), bellows (an organ), and cane and voile (physical models and voices from Mutable Instruments Braids) synths; sample and slice, which play the sample bank and chop breaks; or the kit, eleven drum voices on the black keys. 85 factory presets, and 16 of your own.
Tricks on any step: pulse, hold, multiply, ramps, bends, jumps, skips and more; locks for any knob on any step.
Weave a pattern with a copied one: bars or steps in turn, or one's rhythm playing the other's notes.
Players: arp, strum (one key plays a recorded chord) and hold.
The conductor moves the tracks that follow it through a key, a scale and a progression.
Throws: twelve momentary effects a hand, held from the keys, and recorded if you like.
Two send effects (the reverb with the PlayStation's own reverbs among its modes), a mixer with EQ and a compressor on the master, sixteen scenes and a song.
A screen reader: the FM-1 says its screen through FM-1 Screen Reader."

ExoSphere. Waiting for
video upload by Igor Vasiliev
"While waiting for the new HollowTone app to be released, take a look at the ExoSphere.
Endless variations of soundscapes, using your own samples or internal library.
ExoSphere is a creative tool for shaping continuous ambient and meditative compositions, based on five independent sound layers that merge into a seamless atmosphere. It provides an effortless way to create a foundation for ambient tracks or even a complete background piece with minimal adjustments. Designed with slow rhythmic structures in mind, it is especially suited for meditative music and calm soundscapes.
