"The Snare Trap is a drum machine you play guitar or synth/keyboards through! It’s designed to be used either on the desktop – by hand – or on the floor – by foot. The drum sounds are bass drum, snare, and hi-hat, and these can be individually triggered externally by a CV – so it’s very useful for modular synthesists.
"I love wonky sounds. I love making wonky music. Thank the electronic gods for music gear. It's easily the best outlet for my brand of weirdness. I hope this resonates with you 😁

"Chasing vintage Oberheim tone on a modern synth — this time I've built a whole patch bank around it.
In my original UDO Domino demo I showed how it's so much more than a modern take on the Oberheim 2-Voice SEM: multiple mod sources running simultaneously, deep filter routing options, and full digital waveforms on top. But because it looks like a SEM, I couldn't resist trying to make it sound like one too.
In this demo I play through a patch bank of SEM and Oberheim-style patches — feeding Domino 1 into Domino 2, alternating and detuning the two voices to fake that 2-Voice-to-8-Voice spread, using voice variation and drift for size, splitting the keyboard, and (just to push it) running the envelope and LFO on the filter at the same time. I stripped most patches back to only what an original SEM could actually do, chasing that thick, thunderous, vintage TVS-style tone — the kind of sound you'd expect from something like a Sequential Pro-TVS or an Oberheim Eight Voice — on modern, affordable gear.
The result: Bank A2–H2, 64 patches, all built to capture that classic Oberheim character without ever pretending to be a clone.

If you own a UDO Domino, this bank is available now — grab it and drop it straight in."
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There are electronic musical instruments that are designed to sound good and there are those that were made to look awesome on Instagram.
Today we are going to talk about Beetlecrab Audio Tempera and chances are that quite a few people bought it for reason number 2."

This is a series of live noiz and video noiz performances. A continuation of improvisational noiz sessions during the persistence of The Human Plague and now war.

Our forthcoming physical modeling synthesizer is nearly here! Rippler (VST/AU/AAX) emulates acoustic instruments both real and imagined, and adds a layer of subtractive synthesis to blend, enhance or solidify your sound.
Add expressive modulation, a storehouse of high-quality effects, performance controls and hundreds of presets make Rippler your go-to synth for realistic and hyper-realistic sounds alike!
In this video, you'll hear a few of Rippler's patches, demonstrating the wide variety of sounds that are possible with this synth."
"In this tutorial, I'll show you how to recreate those classic 80s synth-pop analog bells on the Korg Multi/Poly. Taking inspiration from the legendary Roland JX-10 (which is essentially two JX-8P synths in one box), we’ll dive into how to layer oscillators and use component modeling to achieve that iconic hollow, phasing tone.
Whether you're using the Multi/Poly or any other analog synth, these sound design principles will help you nail that vintage vibe. We’ll start from an initialized program and walk through everything from pulse width modulation and detuning to filter shaping and adding that essential chorus and delay.
Key Topics Covered:
Setting up square/pulse waveforms for a hollow bell tone.
Detuning techniques to mimic analog voice cards.
Shaping the sound with 24dB low-pass filters and envelopes.
Adding stereo depth using chorus, cross-delay, and stereo filters.
Experimenting with octaves and subtle noise for extra texture."
