Ableton Live Presets: 25 Free Arpeggio Racks. Sound Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"🌌 Milky Waves is a collection of 25 arpeggiated presets for Ableton Live Instrument Rack (based on the Meld synth + effects). Each patch explores cosmic, deep, and spacious textures—designed to stretch the boundaries of a seemingly simple synth.
Milky Waves was born from a desire to unlock the creative potential of Meld, Ableton Live’s built-in synth. The aim: to show what Meld can do—transforming simple waveforms into cinematic, spacey, and deeply musical arpeggiators.

Multimode Tube Filter, Saturator & Beyond! // VAMP from Apollo View Modular
video upload by DivKid
"With Vamp Apollo View modular took the early Korg MS-20 and MS-10 filter designs, which favoured non-linear character over stability and control, they added more character with a tube input saturation stage and tube resonance feedback path, further output clipping stage options and then designed in modern stability and control. I joke in the video the filter is so rubbery it might as well be wearing a gimp mask. Vamp is also multimode with low pass, band pass and high pass modes with routable pre/post VCA and gain option, smart normalled CV options and prevision circuitry to turn it into a full single module tube voice, killer kick drum and more.

VAMP
8HP Multi-Mode LP/BP/HP Sallen-Key Filter with Tube Saturation & Distortion
VAMP is a multi-mode analogue filter that gives you low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass responses in a compact 8HP design. At its heart lies a classic Sallen-Key topology supercharged with real vacuum tube (12AU7) saturation and multiple stages of clipping, letting you move seamlessly from smooth, hi-fi filtering to snarling, overdriven character.
One half of the tube is used to saturate the input, while the other half provide MS-20-inspired resonance limiting (tube, not diodes). With FLOW placing the VCA pre-tube or post-filter, and FANGS selecting Off / Soft / Hard output clipping, VAMP ranges from subtle warmth to ferocious harmonic destruction.
FEATURES
Three filter modes: low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass
Classic Sallen-Key topology with tube saturation and clipping
12AU7 vacuum tube: one half for input drive, one half for resonance distortion
MS-20-style resonance limiting/clipping for aggressive tones
FLOW switch: Integrated VCA pre-tube or post-filter
FANGS: output clipping: off / soft clipping / hard clipping
1V/Oct cutoff tracking: use VAMP as a VCO in self-oscillation
Extensive CV control: GAIN, FREAK (cutoff), REZ (resonance) (all with attenuverters)
Self-oscillation for screaming tones

NIIO analog GRAPHIC ENVELOPE overview
no audio video upload by NIIO analog
via NIIO analog
The GRAPHIC ENVELOPE consists of 2 separate analog envelopes each derived from stepping thru 8 levels at a shared rate. The envelope can be run as a dual 8 step or a dual 15 step envelope.
Easily create and adjust complex envelope shapes with time based movement that is easily adjustable in a graphic layout.
3 usable time ranges allow for the accurate setting of specific overall envelope times.
Level inputs allow CV or audio to set the level of the envelopes.
2 rate knobs set the envelope length and can be switched between via gate or CV input.
The 2 envelopes can be swapped to the other's output pre- Response via gate or CV input.
The HOLD STEP pauses the envelope while the gate input is high, making a playable and responsive envelope.
Gate outputs pre/post the HOLD STEP, EOC and total envelope period allow for example: the switching of rate or the delayed trigger of a second envelope during the envelope cycle.
Quality all analog circuitry
Gate and Trigger inputs can be used simultaneously
The Gate input can hold the envelope on the HOLD STEP
Gate outputs for Pre and Post Hold Step
Gate outputs for End Of Cycle and envelope period
CV/Audio inputs set the overall level of the envelopes
5v and 10v output level switch
Row Swap gate input
2nd rate (R2) select gate input
envelope smoothing
