Novation Mininova [CUSTOM SOUNDS] DEMO by FWIENZY

video upload by FWIENZY

"Here are some new sounds i made on my Novation Mininova. What an amazing Synthesizer! The sound design possibilities are endless! Hope you enjoy this demo, *sorry for the whitenoise hiss, hope to fix it before the next video.

Hey @NovationTV hit me up if you are looking for sound designers! I'd love to work on some sounds for you guys.

It was hard replicating the DX7 fm sounds because this isn't an FM synth and can't create the metallic tine tones of an FM synth but I think I got pretty close.."

A Unique Midi Sequencer & Generator for iPad / iPhone: Mass by Useable Creations / AUv3 & Standalone

video upload by Gavinski’s Tutorials

"This lovely, quirky midi sequencer and generator came out last week. Very few people seem to have realised how powerful and interesting it is. I hope this video goes some way to changing that! The manual is clear but takes a few hours of reading and experimenting to digest. The real fun begins when you understand the basics and then start playing."

Smashing Sounds With Nuclear Maths: HAINBACH's new Plugin Audiothing Arguments

video upload by HAINBACH

"Arguments, my new plugin with AudioThing is a vintage style test tone generator, a wild processor and a unique combiner of signals. From gentle analog shaping to old school oscillation to absolute signal annihilation, it is a true sound design toolkit Its core idea comes from multiplication modules in the Nuclear Instrumentation format NIM BIN. I have used these for a long to time turn simple signals into heavy beats and basses. With Arguments you can combine any two signals and lock them in a dance for headroom. Or you can use the integrated tone generator for lush 1960s sounding waveforms and pseudo-random noise. Or do both at same time. Arguments is meant to inspire you in your search for the sounds in between.

GET ARGUMENTS: https://www.audiothing.net/effects/ar..."



"Arguments is a vintage-style test equipment plugin for tone generation and dual audio processing. It takes two signals and smashes them together using math derived from analog nuclear research processors. The results are dynamic, often unpredictable but always unique. Since each part of Arguments can run independently, it also works as a sonically rich test tone generator, as a complex distortion unit, or as a multimode filter. Arguments open nature rewards exploration, the presets are a mere suggestion for you to jump off from.

At its core Arguments is an analog computing-based combiner and integrator of signals, re-tuned from science to musical use. These instruments were used in analog nuclear instrumentation modular racks (NIM BIN) to allow for quick calculations without employing a dedicated computer. Arguments takes two signals A and B (B is either external via side-chain or from the internal generator) and puts them together using the argument block. The result is then put through a function block that processes it. This creates a wide range of tones, from simple boosting to high-passed industrial grit, from rhythmic modulations to raw textures. A multi-mode filter stage then allows for exact shaping and modulation. We employed analog modeling at every stage to make Arguments sound not like a calculator but like the rare vintage units that inspired it. " Arguments is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP, 64-bit only), and also as AUv3 and Standalone on the App Store for iOS and iPadOS.

The DSI Tempest Analog Drum Machine is a Great Sounding Synth!

Also see: DSI Tempest: An Analog Drum Machine for the Digital Age

"The DSI Tempest is known for its incredible analog drum machine capabilities, but did you know it’s also a powerful six-voice synthesizer? In this video, I explore the Tempest’s synth side, showcasing its ability to produce lush pads, gritty basslines, and evolving textures that rival standalone analog synthesizers. With dual analog oscillators, a sub-oscillator, and two digital oscillators per voice, the Tempest offers a vast palette of sonic possibilities. I'll be exploring some amazing sounds crafted by Tim Mantle (Psalm37), highlighting just how versatile this hybrid machine truly is.

Whether you’re a Tempest owner or just curious about its lesser-known capabilities, this demo reveals how it can be so much more than a drum machine. Stick around to hear rich analog tones, expressive modulation, and the inspiring range this instrument has to offer. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into iconic music gear and synth demos. Let’s explore the analog soul of the Tempest together!

Note, you may hear crackling sounds in some of the patches. This is coming from my Tempest itself. I don't know if this is normal or my tempest needs repair. I'll check with Sequential to see if they still repair these and post an update in the comments once I learn more.
