"Xfer Serum - Dreamy Decibels is a bank of presets created in the Hyper Pop, EDM, Retrowave, Darkwave, Synthwave genres, inspired by artists such as SOPHIE, A.G. Cook, Bladee and old Charli XCX.
📦 The bank includes 50 Patches: 11 Basses, 7 Leads, 10 Pads, 5 Plucks, 10 Percussion Sounds, 7 Synths.
This set offers you all the necessary tools to create bright, energetic and memorable music that expands the boundaries of traditional genres and immerses the listener in the world of neon sounds.

🌠 Get this soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/seru...

Since the genre is quite diverse, the bank contains both metallic overdriven synths, drums and atmospheric pads, which can greatly complement and saturate your track with experiments!

👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

🎛 Macros can change tone, stereo width, modulation depth and rate, noise level, distortion, detuning, space/echo/reverb, effects mix, envelope parameters, and others.
You may control them via MIDI controller, use them for automation, or map the macros to your DAW modulators like LFO, Shaper, and others.
ModWheel adds expressiveness to the timbre.

💡 Ensure that you are using the latest plugin version. Version 1.368 or higher is required.
Installation: Open the Serum menu and click "Show Serum Presets Folder." You will see folders containing different Serum content. Open the "Presets" folder and place the new bank of presets there.
I added drum loops to some demo tracks. They are not included into the soundset.

Belgian Magazine Article Featuring Mario Mathy

This one is in via Jos who had the following to say followed by an English translation of the article.

"Years ago, I sent you information about Mario Mathy (I think 2019). You published it on your blog. [you can find it in previous posts featuring Mario Mathy here] Afterward, Mario Mathy's 'Jumping Dance' went viral and achieved cult status.

Since your blog has become the most comprehensive and important documented synthesizer resource online, the attached article should also be saved for future history. It would be cool if you could share it with the rest of the synthesizer community. I translated it from Dutch to English using Google Translate.

Notice in the picture below the article that the photo was taken during the period when Mario endorsed Korg.

All I can see in the picture is Korg equipment. The song 'Love Dreams' is from his first album.

I expect most of the songs from his first album ‘Hello This is Mario Mathy’ were created using Korg synthesizers (in contrary to what you would expect from the album cover showing only casio).

After his first album, the single 'Jumping Dance' was released in Belgium. 'Jumping Dance' was from his second album, 'Music-Land'.

On his second album, you can hear a noticeable difference in his sound.

This likely resulted from switching from Korg to Casio synthesizers.

Mario was my piano teacher when I was about 15 years old."

You can check out Mario Mathy's releases on Discogs here.

The following is the tranlation of the article pictured in this post.

CS-80 in Sen in E + SSB SUPERNOVA FX + SYSTEM FLOW Performance

video upload by Synthesizer Studio Berlin

"SUPERNOVA is a morphing FX processor for evolving soundscapes with a reverb at its heart.

Get it here for 29,99€:
https://www.synthesizerstudioberlin.c...

We took the Reverb Diffusion Network from our well received SYSTEM FLOW Drone Synth and brought it to the next level with a modulated feedback drive + Notch filter.
We also added a grain cloud, 6 LFOs and two Bit crushers. And a lot of presets

You can use it as a simple Grain Cloud/Reverb/Pitch Shifter/Bit-Crusher or make huge transitions by morphing between two presets.

The combination of all these FX modules and the possibility to randomize/morph all parameters gives you endless combinations for lush to freaky sounds.

Use the 'BIG' MORPH knob to make HUGE transitions.
Feedback Drive is gain compensated so you don’t blow your speakers but you can still go berserk on your sound.

For lots of modulation and evolving sounds:

Draw your own waveforms for 6 different LFOs and use them to:.
1. Automate your Sample Rate / Mix of the Bit-crushers
2. Automate Feedback Distortion
3. Automate the Notch Filter in the Feedback path.

Full REAKTOR 6.5 required.

You get:
2 Ensembles:
SSB SUPERNOVA FX.ens
SSB SUPERNOVA FX Soltau Edition.ens (less randomization/morphing) Manual
145 Presets"

Intellijel Rainmaker: The final batch

video upload by Intellijel

"This will be our final run of the Rainmaker, so here's a little reminder of what it can do. 🌧️

Rainmaker is a 16-tap Stereo Spectral Rhythm Delay & Comb Resonator. The Rhythm Delay allows individual control of any or all 16 taps—set timing, level, pan, filter type, cutoff and Q on each tap. The Comb Delay opens up further possibilities for complex comb filtering, along with resonator or reverb effects. Bring some light showers or something more torrential to your rack."
