NINA Multi-Track Sequencer: Working with Noise Types and Percussive Hits

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"In this video we look at how to use the additional 64 noise types that have been added as part of NINA's 2.0 Multi-Track Sequencer update. The additional noise types are now part of NINA's incredible analog synth engine and can be used as a powerful resource for creating drum and percussive sounds and great for sound design purposes.

These percussive hits and drum sounds turn NINA into a monster groovebox. This guide shows you how to access different noise types, noise settings and how to sequence multiple noise types in a single track for multitimbral sequencing using only one track of NINA's four available tracks, per pattern.

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."

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!

1010music Bento: Demo run-through

video upload by Dan Pearson

"This is a run-through of the demo track I put together for the 1010music Bento promo video.
It's a standalone music production system with One-shot & Loop banks, Multi-sample, Slicer and Granular instruments.
It also features a massive touch screen, 16 velocity sensive performance pads, comprehensive onboard effects and bluebox style mixing."



"1010 Music's Bento is a streamlined, standalone sampling powerhouse designed for sketching beats in a café, performing a set from your lap, or orchestrating a full synth rig in your studio. Bento's elegant 7" touchscreen and sixteen pressure and velocity-sensitive pads invite tactile experimentation, while its eight endlessly reconfigurable tracks adapt to your needs: from sliced loops and sample banks to granular textures, multisamples, and even external MIDI control. Each pad has per-voice control for level, pitch, pan, modulation, and FX sends, making detailed shaping a breeze without breaking flow. It's not just that you can do everything inside Bento—it's that you'll want to.

Scene-based sequencing sits at the heart of Bento's composition engine, offering multiple modes for evolving patterns, real-time clip launching, and probability-driven generative textures. Whether you're building a layered performance or locking in precise micro-edits, Bento's sequencing feels responsive, smart, and inspiring. Modulation options run deep—LFOs, envelopes, and step sequencers are all onboard and assignable. Per-track routing lets you use reverb, delay, overdrive, phaser, and more with creative intention, whether you're sweetening a vocal chop or melting your entire mix.

On the connectivity side, Bento is exceptionally generous. Three stereo inputs and outputs, USB host/device support, dual MIDI I/O (TRS A & B), and a stereo headphone output make this a capable centerpiece in any setup. It samples effortlessly, resamples creatively, and even streams long WAV files directly from a microSD card. Tethered or untethered, Bento's equally at home thanks to its internal battery and road-ready build. For anyone tired of the laptop grind or just seeking a more focused music-making environment, Bento from 1010 Music is a compact revelation.

BENTO FEATURES

Standalone sample-based performance and composition lab
7" touchscreen with 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive performance pads
8 flexible tracks supporting sampling, slicing, granular, multisample, or MIDI
Deep modulation architecture (LFOs, envelopes, step sequencers)

Introducing MESS - Multi-Effect Step Sequencer Pedal From Polyend

video uploads by Polyend

Polyend MESS: A sequenceable multi effects pedal

video upload by David Hilowitz Music




"MESS combines a powerful multi-track step sequencer with effects brimming with Polyend character – from classic modulation, delay or reverb to experimental effects never before seen in pedal form. With four fully customizable effect tracks, craft ambient soundcapes, intricate glitch sequences or even a familiar four effect chain – all moving in sync.

4 Effect Tracks
Combine four effects for every preset to create your own unique multi-effect. No limits are placed on what effect each track contains. Run a reverb into a delay or a spectralizer into two bitcrushers and create vibrant tones, suitable for any instrument.

125 Stereo Effects
Want a specralized micro-looping effect with randomized repeats? A time-shifting chorus into a reverb that slowly gets darker over time or simply a traditional modulation, delay, and Reverb chain? With over 120 effects to assign to the four tracks, MESS opens the door to the unexpected.

Why Sequence?
MESS has the sequencer power expected from a Polyend instrument. Control per-track speed and length to create polyrhythmic or polymetric sequences or use chance options to easily create complex generative effects that never sound the same twice. Instantly add movement and musicality to any effect. Reverbs bloom, delays evolve rhythmically, and modulations shift in sync with your tempo.

Soundtoys Releases New SpaceBlender Plug-in

Free for a limited time only – a $99 value

BURLINGTON, VT – Renowned pro audio effects creator Soundtoys proudly announces the release of SpaceBlender, an experimental reverb that lets you create unreal and imaginary spaces – shapes, textures,and tones otherwise impossible in the real world. Inspired by the pioneers of ambient music, with their extensive use of layered tape loops and delays, SpaceBlender is designed to create massive waves of lush, organic, and evolving spatial effects.

SpaceBlender is available now at soundtoys.com for free – a $99 value – through May 22. Sign up to claim this offer.

Whether enhancing a track’s sense of space or creating dynamic, evolving effects, SpaceBlender is a fun and intuitive tool for sound designers, musicians, and producers looking for creative yet easy-to-use spatial processing.

“We’ve been exploring new ways to build an algorithmic reverb – something with the creative flexibility of convolution and the richness, depth, and soul of classic hardware devices,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and founder of Soundtoys.

“SpaceBlender is the first product of this research, and we’ve tried to make it easy to play with ‘space’ in a fun and musical way. We’re excited to hear what people create with it.”

Key features of SpaceBlender include:

● Interactive control – move between gate, reverse, decay, and bloom reverb shapes and everything
in-between, in real time.

● Visualizer – see your sound move through the reverb shape as you adjust its sonic envelope.

● Simple control of spectral evolution; reverbs can get darker or brighter over time.
● Deeply embedded modulation creates rich, constantly moving ambient effects.

● Smoothly change the reverb texture from dense and lush to sparse and grainy.

● Extreme range from super short 100-millisecond nonlinear effects to absurdly long 60-second meditations.

The free SpaceBlender offer is valid only at soundtoys.com through May 22, 2025. SpaceBlender will be available for purchase from authorized resellers worldwide on May 23. Learn about Soundtoys’ system requirements and host compatibility.

Ana Modulation Multiplier

video upload by Mystic Circuits

"Another quick patch showing off Ana's many capabilities. This patch shows how to use Ana to turn a single modulation source into multiple modulation signals and control your entire patch with the turn of a knob. Ana is incredible for feedback patching and unlocking the full potential of modules that provide their own modulation signals for self-patching.

This is a much longer demo because I have been having a lot of fun with this module combo as I have been beta testing the Entropic Loops Grackle, an innovative phase modulation oscillator from a new company that is a collaboration of Naomi from Omi Industries and genius programmer Eris. If you would like to know more about this module there will be some information posted to their website soon:

It's inspired by Rob Hordijk's Benjolin and ZLOB remaking similar ideas with their own modules and circuits. There's two oscillators, a multimode filter, many feedback points, oscillating 3 band EQ and more in this highly interactive and wide ranging abstract voice and instrument.

Like the Benjolin that inspires it, the Trepanator excels and abstract, organic and interactive self influencing textures, sounds and rhythmic ever evolving loops. In this video there's mud burping, swamps in space caves, aquatic bubbles, harsh noise, unique techno percussion and FX and plenty more.

"The Trepanator is a 14hp analog “Bent by Design” experimental instrument featuring a Dual VCO, Difference Rectifier, 3-band EQ, Sample/Track and Hold, and SVF(state variable filter) all built into one nonlinear module. Its origins trace back to a love for Rob Hordijk’s Benjolin and patching a similar pseudo chaotic feedback-based instrument from scratch using all Zlob modules.

Although not based on Hordijk’s circuit or signal flow, it uses a similar architecture of dual voltage controlled oscillators, an “interference pattern generator,” a state variable filter, and internalized cross-patched feedback. Instead of a Rungler and comparator the Trepanator uses a sample/track and hold with slew, a difference/rectifier circuit(based on NLC), and a self-oscillating 3-band EQ. Utilizing this excessive feedback between the VCO’s, EQ, S/H, and SVF, creates a completely new instrument for discovering abstract electronic sounds. The Trepanator is a highly interactive, unpredictable, and an immediate instrument capable of a huge range of organic and sounds from: snarling, plucking, bubbling, screaming, gurgling, hissing, grunting, pinging, and quacking, to machine like rhythmic loops, circuit bent broken modem sounds, no-input mixer screeching, intermittent short wave radio fizzling, and full on Harsh Noise Wall all within the touch of a fader or a small knob turn without any external audio or any control voltage in."

Introducing RollBud - DJ Style Rolls and Trance Gate Effects - AUv3 FX for iOS

RollBud - Trance Gate & Roll FX video upload by Cem Olcay

"I’ve released my new app RollBud for DJ style rolls and trance gate effects.

- The XY-pad is customizable for both X-axis (beat lengths) and Y-axis (envelope or mix controls), and it’s also MIDI controllable.

- You can record your movements and play them back. They are saved in iCloud and also the recordings can be triggered with MIDI as well.

- The roll mode has a reversed roll mode playing the loops backwards, and the trance gate mode has a inverted envelope mode for fun.

- Envelope’s rise and fall ratio, curve (logarithmic to linear to exponential) and amount, as well as the dry/wet mix can be set on the UI.

More technical details on the effects:

- Roll mode: records the input signal and starts to loop the last beat from the recorded buffer. The loop length is selected on the xy-pad. Applies the envelope on the each loop. The live signal continues to run underneath and with the dry/wet mix you can balance the mix as you’d like.

- Trance gate: applies the envelope to the live input signal. The envelope duration is selected on the xy-pad. You can use the dry/wet mix to balance the intensity of the effect."

Behringer Edge + Spice Combo Patches & Samples. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Welcome to the soundset for a semi-modular system, Behringer EDGE + SPICE. It is a collection of 50 patches that include basses, drums/percussion, leads, plucks, stabs/chords, generative-style patterns.
There is a wide range of sound colors in the pack: massive and gentle, aggressive and soft, bright and dull, harmonic and dissonant tones, straight and polymetric rhythms.

🎛 The main point of the soundset is the high level of interconnection—not just syncing the two synths with independent timbres (individual patches for EDGE and SPICE are also available on my website).
In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are fused and can’t exist separately:
✔️ They modulate each other with envelopes.
✔️ A sequence from one synth may change parameters on the other.
✔️ Triggers, clock/rhythm, run/stop modulations break predictable patterns.
✔️ Audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies/intervals or crazy experimental inharmonic tones.

🧿 At the same time, they play different and clear roles. It’s not a sound mess, but two synths working in close cooperation.
For syncing the synths, I chose SPICE as the master. I send clock to it from the DAW via USB. Then, I sync EDGE to SPICE using patch cables.
On the EDGE, the PLAY button is pressed in advance, but EDGE doesn't start playing until PLAY is triggered on the SPICE. This way, launching SPICE starts both synths in sync. If SPICE is synced to the DAW via USB/MIDI, hitting PLAY in the DAW will start both synths in sync with the DAW.
