Important information about noise therapy !

video upload by errorinstruments paul tas

"It’s important when you start it up that you put the big knob in the middle . This is a trick if you don’t have sound. Because it’s an open chip and it’s circuit bending but we created it that it cannot get broke."

via Error Instruments

"Noise Therapy is a compact, experimental audio device

designed for sound exploration and real-time manipulation.

It’s not just an effect processor — it’s a self-oscillating feedback machine,

a live circuit-bending platform, and a sensor-based sound controller all in one.

• 🎛️ Real-Time Circuit Bending: Dive into unpredictable

sonic territories. The Circuit Bending Bank lets you create new sounds on the fly no

emulation here, just raw, hardware-driven sound design.

• 🔁 Self-Oscillating Feedback: Use it as a chaotic

sound generator or a responsive instrument — capable of evolving drones,

sharp glitches, and alien pulses. • 🎚️ Effect Processing: Process external

audio or internal feedback loops with a rich palette of distortion, delay,

filtering, and noise. • ✋ Sensor-Controlled Sound: A touch-sensitive

and light-reactive sensor beneath the switch opens up expressive

performance options. Interact with light or skin

contact to alter the audio in unpredictable ways. •

🎛️ Patch Bay Exploration: The modular-style patch bay

encourages creative routing and discovery. It’s full of accidents

— those magic spots that only circuit bending reveals. • 🔊 Sonic Range:

From delicate liquid drop-like sounds to harsh industrial noise,

deep ego drones, and intense distortion — this is a tool made for sound designers,

noise artists, and experimental musicians."

Knobula Monumatic: Filters, Osc Modes, Chords & more

video upload by The Green Man(TGM) + sound.report by Heiner Kruse

"This is about Knobula Monumatic - accompanying the forthcoming test in Synthesizer Magazin 110 in german language!

The module can do more, but is also seen as successor to Poly Cinematic. It may sound very different but can also do the Poly Cinematic stuff. There are more CV options, too.
It's especially noteable that it can be used via MIDI, CV/Gate and played in MPE mode as well.

Check my modular book published by them, more videos here and my music.

LEP - Arpovoice: Melodic Percussion Ensemble for Eurorack

video upload by NOISEBUG

"The #Arpovoice (the sound producing half of Arpoloop) is like having an analogue melodic percussion ensemble in your #Eurorack case. The 100% #analogue Arpovoice features a kick circuit, snare circuit, four independent VCOs, four VCAs, and three loop-able envelope generators. There is a surprising amount of modulation and cross modulation capabilities here. VCA has a selectable source switch, with the ability to route in VCA 1’s output, vco2 or a noise generator. Oscillator 1 can be synced to oscillator 2, oscillator three can be synced to either oscillator 2 or four, and oscillator 4 can switch between VCO and LFO.

Ambient Beat w/ Prophet-10, Glockenspiel, Gong, Stones | Balloon 2025-06-18 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece for ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, glockenspiel, hand bells, stones, and other percussion. A gentle beat supports quiet synth harmonies and a soft metallophone melody.

Prophet-10: Harmonies are played with ‪@strymon‬ blueSky reverb, then further shaped in Ableton Live with an Auto Filter.

Glockenspiel & percussion: Recorded in stereo with a ‪@rodemic‬ RØDE NT-4.

Stone-rubbed gong: A Cambodian instrument whose resonant scrape textures weave through the mix."

Cascade 05 | Synthesizer Ambient with Novation Summit

video upload by Moon Kyoo

"Two weeks in Korea felt like 5 days, leaving with some good memories 🏊 Here's my last jam of the trip, ambient as usual with a bit of late-night vibes.

Everything here was recorded live with the Novation Summit, with a sub layer added by pitching the original recordings down an octave."

Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Evoke: k i o k u - Fragments of Memory

"LIVEN Evoke | Acoustronic Synthesizer with Granular Effect
https://sonicware.jp/pages/liven-evoke

Dr. Endo – Live Set
PTN06: k i o k u - Fragments of Memory (full version)
---
This ambient piece evokes the image of animals running free and taking flight through vast natural landscapes.
Using LIVEN Evoke, a grounded cello drone anchors the low end, while a flute melody stirs distant memories, breathing life into the scene.
The piano provides harmonic support, and when sent through GRAIN FX, it melts into the space, adding an atmospheric depth.
Delicate xylophone accents weave in moments of motion and stillness, shaping the piece's gentle dynamics.

Yu Endo
---
自由に走り、空を舞う動物たちの姿を、壮大な自然のイメージとともに描いたアンビエント作品です。
LIVEN Evokeを用い、重く静かに大地を支えるチェロのドローンと、遥か遠くの記憶を呼び覚ますようなフルートの旋律が命の鼓動を描き出します。
ピアノは伴奏としての役割を保ちながら、GRAIN FXを通して空間に溶け込み、アトモスフェリックな広がりを生み出しています。
さらにシロフォンの細やかなアクセントが、静と動のリズムを織りなしています。

🎛️ 80s Modular Synth Ambient Sketch | Stranger Things - Inspired

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
#modular #eurorack #strangerthings

This is a 5-minute modular synth sketch, inspired by Stranger Things, vintage analog synth textures, and 1980s sci-fi soundtracks. Simple and cinematic, this patch was built around moody arpeggios, deep pads, and classic analog tones. It was mixed and mastered in post to bring out the atmosphere."

J3PO OB Tribute Patches for Omnisphere -- OFFICIAL SOUNDS DEMO

video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"In this video, I demo all 50 patches from my new J3PO OB Tribute library for Spectrasonics' Omnisphere--a patch bank dedicated to the legendary Oberheim synthesizers.

This collection is inspired by the iconic Oberheim synths: OB-X, OB-Xa, OB-8, OB-6, Matrix-12, and the Two Voice Pro. Every patch was built inside Omnisphere using Oberheim-style oscillators and filters, with a few custom samples from my own Oberheim synths to bring even more analog character into the mix.

In this demo, I use the OB-6 strictly as a MIDI controller to play the sounds (and for some visual homage to the great OB synthesizers). All the sounds you are hearing are coming from within Omnisphere--including the FX.

The full library is available now for $24 at https://www.j3po.net/shop"

There is as well a rotary and a phaser effect and a bass voice section.
