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.
📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/behr...
🎛 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.

An Update on KALEIDOSCOPE by Vadjuse
video uploads by Vadjuse
"Kaleidoscope is a compact 4 track digital multitimbral synthesizer for creating generative music
Waiting List and Manual: http://vadjuse.ru/kaleidoscope_en"
Playlist:
1. Introducing KALEIDOSCOPE
2. KALEIDOSCOPE. 10 Features of Control System and Generative Sequencer
00:00 Intro3. KALEIDOSCOPE. 10 Фишек Системы Управления и Генеративного Секвенсора [same as 2 but in Russian]
01:08 Control
02:31 Octave Values
04:03 Cyclic Envelopes
07:16 Rhythmical Octaves
08:58 Pattern-Mask
13:31 Modulation Sources
17:28 MIDI Modulators
18:51 Assignable Keytracking
21:25 Flexibility of Modulators
24:38 Modulation Envelope Quantization
28:36 Outro



Kaleidoscope has 4 tracks, each with its own timbre. You can assemble a whole ensemble: drums, bass, leads, strings, percussion, drones, noises and others...
If you place the same timbres on all tracks, you will get a classic polyphonic synthesizer.
Use the methods:
subtractive synthesis
additive synthesis
synthesis of physical modeling
FM synthesis
Kaleidoscope has on each track:
complex oscillator for creating multiple waveforms
wavefolder
hardsync
filter with resonance
combo filter for creating echoes and resonances
overload
FM mixer router
audio mixer router
Generative Sequencer
Kaleidoscope has a built-in generative sequencer for creating rhythmic and parametric patterns.
It is based on functional methods for creating control signals and triggers.
Such a sequencer works as an add-on to the control system and does not conflict with external sequencers.
The generative sequencer can be used to create rhythmic patterns and parametric arpeggios.
Modulation matrix
Each envelope generates a trigger at the end of its attack-decay cycle . This trigger can be passed to any other envelope to trigger it.
If the envelope triggers itself, it becomes something like a low-frequency oscillator (LFO).
If the envelope trigger exchange is disabled, it operates in normal ADSR mode.
Modulation matrix
Almost all synthesizers on the market have a two-dimensional modulation matrix.
You select only one parameter for the modulator (envelope or LFO) from several available track parameters.
Kaleidoscope has a three-dimensional modulation matrix .
You select not only the parameter for the modulator, but also the track on which this parameter is located.
You can combine modulators in any way you like.
Assign multiple modulators to one parameter.
Modulate the envelope duration or pattern.
Create feedback loops. Negative feedback loops stabilize behavior. Positive feedback loops, on the contrary, destabilize it and turn it into chaos.
In Kaleidoscope you modulate not only the timbral parameters, but also the dynamics of this modulation. This opens up a new dimension of sound exploration.
Similar possibilities can be found in the world of modulars, but not in the world of standalone synthesizers.
See http://vadjuse.ru/kaleidoscope_en for additional details in Russian, or Google translated to English here.
Note the ability to enable and disable the multiple envelop stages.
NEW 2025 Optigan Disc - BIG BEAT & POLYRIMBA
video upload by optigandotcom
"https://www.quilterlabs.com/collectio...
BIG BEAT is the latest in our series of excavatons into the Optigan Archives in search of material that was left on the cutting room floor. The working title for this disc was “Motown 1 - Big Beat.” Previously only heard on the song “How Do You Feel?” by Optiganally Yours. The keyboard sound is also sourced from the Optigan Archives- we mixed several different solo trombone and trumpet scales to form a brass section. A version of this sound previously appeared on our Orchestron "Brass Ensemble" disc.
Special note: This groove was recorded at a slower tempo than usual, so turn your Optigan's Tempo knob down to achieve concert pitch."
NEW 2025 Panoptigon Disc - POLYRIMBA
video upload by optigandotcom
"Now available at https://www.quilterlabs.com/collectio...
POLYRIMBA is based on the 5-against-3 polyrhythm. The basic sound is the classic DX7 Marimba preset. Individual notes are steady pulses with accents in counts of 5 or 3. Holding down chords creates an ever-shifting series of syncopated rhythmic patterns. If you count these in 4/4, you'll perceive longer rhythmic cycles that won't repeat for 15 bars. Adding delay will create even more complex patterns. Also, try it with the Panoptigon’s hall reverb turned up, and the main volume knob turned all the way down, to get an interesting ambient pad sound.
POLYRIMBA can only be played on Panoptigon, and is not compatible with Optigan or Orchestron.
Conceived, arranged, and mastered by Pea Hicks

All discs are subject to the following licensing arrangement.
You MAY use any and all sounds on our Optigan/Orchestron discs to create derivative works for commercial or private use without any further licensing fee beyond the original purchase price of the discs.

ANA 2 Patch Example - Taming Delay Feedback w/ Multimod
video upload by Mystic Circuits
"This patch is a particularly satisfying way to push the boundaries of delay feedback loops without destroying your ears or overwhelming the input. In this case we are using ANA's XOR output as a hard clipper to limit the overall voltage level of a delay feedback loop while also adding in an input signal using the SUM input. This technique allows us to simultaneously amplify a signal while also setting a hard boundary on how loud the signal can get. By using ANA to tame our feedback we are able to get the characteristic "bloom" effect of a high-feedback delay while making sure that we can always hear our input signal and also constantly add new material into the looping delay line. Here we explore this patch with the amazing Make Noise Multimod, also using our 3DVCA module to mix multiple taps together."

Spitfire Audio - The Albions Orchestral Selects Walkthrough
video upload by Spitfire Audio
Press release follows.




Spitfire Audio crafts carefully curated collection of evocative ensemble patches from acclaimed ALBION range as THE ALBIONS ORCHESTRAL SELECTS
LONDON, UK: leading sounds and sample libraries creator Spitfire Audio is proud to announce availability of THE ALBIONS ORCHESTRAL SELECTS — shipping as a carefully curated collection of the most inspiring and evocative ensemble patches brought together from across its acclaimed ALBION range to offer a rich tapestry of hand-picked orchestral sounds that let the individual character of the orchestra shine, supplying composers with a wide range of expressive possibilities to bring any cinematic moment to life — as of March 6…
It is fair to say that THE ALBIONS ORCHESTRAL SELECTS is testament to the power, versatility, and, indeed, longevity of the ALBION range — after all, the original ALBION, which was effectively re-released by popular demand as ALBION LEGACY in 2023, kick-started a whole range of all-in- one composer tools for cinematic inspiration, its collection of orchestral ensembles featuring strings, brass, woodwind, and percussion, as well as loops, synths, and atmospheres, all creatively captured in the beautiful resonance of the hallowed (Lyndhurst) Hall at London’s legendary AIR Studios way back in 2011.
The exceptional collection that is THE ALBIONS ORCHESTRAL SELECTS duly draws from six distinct ALBION libraries — namely, ALBION COLOSSUS, a gargantuan, all-in-one toolkit that pushes contrast, dynamism and intensity to eleven, elevating scores to breathtaking new heights in a new blockbuster era; ALBION NEO, a modern cinematic collection centred around a chamber-sized orchestra with a super-intimate string section split by divisi across all articulations to offer anyone access to the incredible definition and expression of classic and progressive techniques, accompanied by an encyclopaedic range of progressive synths, loops, and textures; ALBION TUNDRA, taking a 100-piece orchestra playing never-before-sampled techniques at the very edge of silence to capture a characteristically Scandinavian sound; ALBION ONE, a renowned, industry-standard orchestral sample library that provides everything needed to make film music, comprising a 109-piece orchestra accompanied by a thunderous cinematic percussion section, plus warp-able loops designed by award-winning engineers and an enormous steam synthesiser; ALBION ICENI, an award- winning package boasting epic low-end brass and electrifying woodwinds, harmonised with a string ensemble encompassing an extensive range of cellos and basses alongside an extraordinary collection of thick, deep synth sounds and loops as an apocalyptic low-end orchestra; ALBION LOEGRIA, an expertly sampled chamber-sized orchestra, featuring strings, woods, brass, and cinematic drums alongside eclectic loops and an inspiring organic synth as the perfect starting point for independent films, period dramas, or more cerebral and intimate music; and last, but by no means least, the aforesaid ALBION LEGACY — as a carefully curated selection of sounds designed to blend seamlessly into any scoring project.
Painting vivid sonic landscapes to bring musical visions to life is even easier using THE ALBIONS ORCHESTRAL SELECTS’ inspiring and evocative ensemble patches... think Epic Strings, selections played by larger string ensembles including the full dynamic range of ALBION ONE’s strings and the soaring highs and powerful lows of ALBION ICENI and ALBION TUNDRA that range from delicate textures to thunderous power, providing everything needed to create truly unforgettable string passages; Intimate Strings, showcasing the nuanced detail of ALBION NEO and the emotive beauty of ALBION LOEGRIA, capturing intimacy with exceptional clarity and expression; Epic Brass, bringing together the enormous cinematic brass patches from ALBION ONE’s full brass range, the majesty of ALBION TUNDRA, and the colossal low-end of ALBION ICENI to provide the tools needed to create brass arrangements that resonate with power and emotion; Intimate Brass, a more intimate and nuanced approach to brass scoring, achieved through the focused intensity of ALBION NEO’s brass, with long and short staccatissimo articulations; Epic Woodwinds, harnessing the soaring melodies of ALBION ONE’s woodwinds, the haunting textures of ALBION TUNDRA, and the rich depths of ALBION ICENI to provide a wide range of woodwind colours and textures; Intimate Woodwinds, providing the warmth, intimacy, and nuance needed for delicate woodwind passages, courtesy of ALBION NEO; and Albion Percussion, unleashing the thunderous power of the DARWIN percussion ensemble from ALBION TUNDRA, the cinematic impact of ALBION ONE’s XXL percussion, ALBION LEGACY’s CYMBALS, and the nuanced detail of ALBION LOEGRIA’s FINE DRUMS LOOSE and FINE DRUMS TIGHT as a diverse collection providing a rhythmic foundation for any scoring project.
Paul Thomson — company co-founder, and an accomplished composer in his own right — remains enamoured with Spitfire Audio’s acclaimed ALBION range, resulting in THE ALBIONS ORCHESTRAL SELECTS, stating: “There are so many sounds in these collections that are instant cue-starters, giving you a film score sound for any genre right out of the box; for this selection, I’ve pulled out my favourite patches from the orchestral sections recorded in Lyndhurst Hall at AIR Studios, locking together beautifully but allowing a huge range of expression and style, so this is the perfect introduction to the ALBION series — my source of instant inspiration!”
Presented in Native Instruments’ KONTAKT 7 virtual instrument platform, the NKS (NATIVE KONTROL STANDARD®)-ready/AAX-, AU-, VST2-, and VST3-compatible, 26.3 GB download-sized THE ALBIONS ORCHESTRAL SELECTS library is available for MacOS 11, 12, or 13 (latest update) and Windows 10 or 11 (latest Service Pack) at a 20%-discounted, time-limited promo price of £119.00 GBP (inc.

Moog Labyrinth 50 Modular Patches & Sequences + WAV Samples
video upload by Anton Anru
"'Circuit Maze' is a collection of 50 patches for the semi-modular synth Moog Labyrinth. Dedicated to the modular spirit, the bank of presets embraces the analog warmth, experimental mindset, and rich sonic possibilities provided by Moog Labyrinth—an instrument that challenges traditional sequencing, offering fresh ways to shape sound and inspire creativity.
🎛 While crafting this soundset, I wanted to fully explore Labyrinth's capabilities, dive deep into its unconventional workflow, and have fun with its distinctive sequencing approach, which is unavailable on other synths. The result is a collection of 50 patches designed to inject unique and evolving patterns into any track or performance.
Each preset—or fragments of it—can function as bass, percussion, melody/lead, pluck, or FX, making this collection highly versatile.
📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/laby...
💽 The presets explore a wide spectrum of tones, from warm, clean, soft, and deep to noisy, metallic, distorted, punchy, and bright. Some sounds are bold enough to take center stage, while others work best as supporting elements, adding texture and movement to your compositions.
You can use the patches as they are, but I strongly encourage real-time tweaking, allowing you to shape and evolve the timbres throughout your performance for a dynamic and immersive experience.

242t: Sends pulses to the 245t, 266t, and 281t for creating CV sequences and dynamic modulations.
259t: Serves as the primary VCO, delivering the audio foundation.
292t: Shapes the audio signal from the 259t.
Feedback System Details:
Tiptop ZDSP: Processes the 259t’s audio output (filtered by the 292t). Its outputs feed the 296t and 285t, which send their processed signals back into the ZDSP’s feedback inputs, creating a controlled loop.
296t: Operates also as an envelope follower, analyzing the ZDSP’s output and generating CV. The CV is sent to MISO, where it is inverted and routed back to modulate the ZDSP’s feedback inputs, acting as a limiter to prevent saturation."

#NAMM 2025: Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments
video upload by CatSynth TV
"We get a tour of the new Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments. Like their synths that we presented last year, the Roto Control features motorized knobs that can be used to control any MIDI device, DAW parameters, or plug-in parameters. It has an intuitive interface that includes customizable colored labels along with the buttons and knobs, and can save up to 64 configurations. It also includes a "motion recorder" that allows you to record loops of motion using the knobs that can then control any instrument, DAW, or plug-in."
