1010MUSIC BENTO BETA. THINGS ARE HEATING UP #ABLETONKILLER #1010music

video upload by jtn.project

"Things are getting interesting! 1010Music released Ver 1.0.27Beta, and boy does it rip!

From their forum:
'We are pleased to make available a beta of bento available to you. It includes several new features:
Scenes. You can now group launch a sequence or loop on each track. Use the pads on the SONG screen to launch them
Song Mode. Prepare up to 8 scenes, play them sequentially, and repeat them as you go
External Tracks. Hook up an external synth or drum machine and use the bento to sequence and mix the audio. You can even apply effects to the audio input. (We combined the idea of an Audio and MIDI track into a single track type.)
Copy and Paste. Easily duplicate sequences and scenes
More sequences. Each track can now have up to 8 sequences
Pad based launching. On the LAUNCH screen you can now use the pads to switch between sequences and loops
Improved Pad Performance. New approach is more resistant to double hits
Battery Charging Indicator. Get visual feedback on whether or not the unit is plugged in and charging.
Swing Amount. Make your groove really sing'

I am so excited to see what I can come up with now. Bento keeps on surprising me.

How a patching matrix can unlock your modular synth | Archaea Exchange

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This video is all about things you can do with switches and dynamic signal routing in a modular synth. To explore these concepts I’ll be using a patching matrix called Exchange, from the Bristol-based Eurorack brand Archaea, who are kindly sponsoring this video.

Whether it’s routing sequences to different voices on the fly or instantly changing where modulation is being sent, manipulating your signal paths can add a whole new dimension to your patching."

Improvised Jam on Iconic Vintage Synths!

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Fresh off Superbooth 2025, I dropped into the Synthesizer Museum in Berlin for a rare, fully improvised performance on their legendary vintage synths—including the Yamaha CS-80, two ARP 2600s, and a Roland Jupiter-8.
Joining me was my longtime friend and Vienna-based artist Felix of Flame, playing his custom FLAME drum and percussion instruments. Together, we dove into a one-of-a-kind sonic journey—shaped by texture, tone, and the moment.
No script. No presets. Just raw, analog expression—captured live!"

Supercritical Synthesizers Releases Redshift 6 Update 1.3 Featuring 6-Part Multitimbrality

Press release follows:

"Supercritical Synthesizers has just released a new firmware update for the Redshift 6 and it’s available on their website. Firmware Update 1.3 introduces 6-part multitimbrality and multitimbral presets.

With Redshift 6, multitimbrality is always at your fingertips. Its user interface is built from the ground up to enable a seamless workflow between mono- and multitimbral setups. Under the hood, Redshift 6 is always multitimbral — there’s no need to switch to a specific multitimbral mode. A new multitimbral synth part can be activated with just the push of a button. Each part can be polyphonic, paraphonic, or monophonic, and each can have its own unique character.

With each of the Redshift 6’s six voices capable of generating up to 16 oscillators for a total of 96, the Redshift 6 offers an impressive expansion in overall polyphony. A single voice supports up to five paraphonic notes simultaneously, each featuring dual oscillators and a noise source. These notes can have independent amplitude shaping, thanks to the Redshift 6’s dedicated DCO ENV envelope generators.

Watch the multitimbral Redshift 6 in action: [posted here]

Preset preview: presets are automatically loaded while browsing
Amp & VCF envelope ADSR controls now have CC numbers
Key page now has controls for Low/High key limits

Fixed all known bugs

Supercritical’s Redshift 6
Redshift 6 is a true Sonic powerhouse. With 16 analog oscillators per voice and a 4-pole analog multimode filter featuring drive and character controls, it effortlessly delivers everything from super saw stabs to lush pads and from unison basses to vintage poly synth sounds. The Redshift 6’s 4 envelopes and 4 LFOs, combined with complex yet easy-to-assign modulation possibilities and the 32-slot mod matrix, offer endless possibilities for sound design.

Each of the Redshift 6’s six voices features a Demon Core Oscillator, capable of generating up to 16 simultaneous analog oscillators per voice. These oscillators can be assigned in various ways, from lush polyphonic textures to a massive 96-oscillator unison."

"rare machine, made to store, read, and transfer midi data files. and also can play them back via it's midi output to other devices, or via it's own sound engine.

it's also made to work with general midi, and it has a general midi playback sound engine inside, which is fully configurable, tracks can be muted, instruments selected, etc. it even has audio effects per track.

nice for a journey into general midi research, and old video games soundtracking. or as a midi sequences orchestrating playback device.

it has floppy emulator installed instead of a floppy disk drive, which makes it way easier to operate, and midi files can be easily transferred from a computer.

comes with original box, original manual and original power supply.

made in Italy."

Pics of the inside below.

"Unfortunately, this unit was damaged in shipping. The power transformer has come unmounted from inside of the chassis, and while it was knocking around inside the synth it managed to damage two PCBs as well as the connector that ties it to the power PCB. We assume that several traces on both damaged PCBs have been broken. This was a great synth, and this could be a good project for anyone willing to dig into it. The synth was working perfectly before being shipped. At this juncture it's in poor working condition."

Torso S-4 | Pure inspiration (walkthrough)

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A walkthrough of how I'm making songs on the Torso S-4.

00:00 - Song
02:24 - Intro, tape machine
04:38 - Granular
07:36 - Resonator
11:45 - Drive, noise, colour
13:11 - Delay and reverb
15:32 - Drums and performance effects
19:18 - The magic of TEMP
19:56 - Pitched drums
22:43 - Making a pad
27:24 - Fourth track
28:56 - Performing with four tracks
31:14 - Concluding thoughts, USB multitrack out

I bought the Torso S-4 last month, thinking it would be an interesting device for playing with granular ideas with a few loops. As soon as I started playing with it, it was clear I had underestimated just how much more the S-4 is, and how inspiring it is. In fact, I basically never use it as a granular device!

This is probably the single most inspiring piece of hardware I've tried since I discovered the Octatrack. It transforms sounds, it is incredible for performing, and it has that perfect feedback loop between musician and instrument. In just a couple of weeks, I've recorded a whole album with it, which I'll release soon.

This is a walkthrough of how I'm making full songs on the S-4. In reality, four tracks is not quite enough for me to be making full songs, and in the final performances I add extra layers. But as a device to create new sounds, glue tracks together, sketch out a song arrangement, and perform some interesting parameter changes, the S-4 is nothing short of an epiphany for me.

Note that I'm using the 2.0 firmware beta, which is largely the same as the recently released 2.0 firmware. I'm well aware of the internet conversation on the previous firmware of the device, of hardware buttons not having any function and triggering a "coming soon" message, etc. I'm also aware of some quality/build concerns from some S-4 owners. I don't want to discredit any of those complaints, and I'm sure they are valid; but I can only tell you about my individual experience, which was largely flawless aside from a few bugs along the way.

Please also note that this isn't my usual sort of video, but rather one I originally recorded for my Patreon community. I'm having such a good time with the S-4, though, that I really wanted to share it more broadly. I hope you find it useful.

I look forward to sharing the album soon!
