Were you the type to draw elaborate doodles in your math class margins? Well, great news: Science now says that letting your mind wander is good for you. And indie Swedish design studio Henrik & Sofia went and made a Max for Live device that brings back your freedom to...
Moog's DFAM has become almost a genre of instrument -- like the Minimoog architecture or original Moog modular. Look no further than this delight from Rainbow Circuit. On the surface, it looks like another model of the percussion synth (Mom!). But it sounds like nothing...

This is not granular. This is all sampler, unison. And so it sounds like things that even granular can't do. Vara Osiria Belich is this week's sound design inspiration, with her bonus gestural spell casting with gen-1 Leap Motion. (Remember?) The post Vara Osiria Belich is...

How far MadMapper has come. The tool, built as a collaboration between Swiss GarageCube and French studio 1024 architecture, helped define projection mapping for a generation of visualists. It has matured into a broadly versatile media tool, and v6 brings timelines, montage...
'Mere Survival is Not Enough.' Professor Drew Daniel, you had us on the title on this one. The artist, known for being half of Matmos, and being all of Dr. Drew Daniel, and the solo project The Soft Pink Truth, talks about string arrangements and the meaning behind the track ...

The Hewlett-Packard Word Generator 8006A has become an unintentional legend of sound lovers, transforming this obscure lab equipment into a kind of instrument. So you knew that a Hainbach/AudioThing collab to produce a software version was inevitable. B00GA is available now...
Those sprawling synths are great, but when it comes to exploring a sound design idea compositionally, there's nothing quite like a modular patch. I've long admired Adam Pietruszko's work for AAS, so it's a treat to watch him break down a patch and hear what he did on Rotors, ...

In a single, fader-covered box with a capacious patchbay, Alt brings together creative, generative sound worlds beneath a unified interface. FM, dual filters, random slew, scales, light sensors, a mic: it's not every day you see a device so obsessed with exploration. And now ...

It's the full SuperCollider synth, without the installation. You can add it to any site (self-hosted). It performs seamlessly via WebAssembly. But most importantly, it's fun, colorful, and comes with examples and an OSC API so it can interface with live coding tools like...

It might be a funny intersection of interests. But developer Matt Greenwood built a macOS-native clone of the legendary Winamp in Swift, MIT-licensed, with MP3 and FLAC playback and Milkdrop visualization support (including fullscreen). The post A free Winamp clone, for...
Composer Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh, known for her concert outings, shifts to a lushly organic electronic album in flowing, humming, fragmented electronics for her debut album as a producer. And it comes with an interactive music video powered by Max and RNBO, so if you're in the...
Spitfire Audio has launched its largest free sample library, Spitfire Symphony Orchestra Discover (SSO Discover)...

We don't need another great reverb, let alone another great Valhalla reverb/echo. But we get one anyway. Sean Costello and Valhalla say this one is focused on transparency and realism -- plus modulation and a bunch of echo modes when you want them. The now is FutureVerb. The ...

For the final episode in this trilogy on learning Max for Live and Ableton DSP Objects, we're going to keep the focus on working fast. We'll learn how to use Ableton DSP to prototype instruments quickly, play expressively, and hack them with some tricks and mods beyond what...
The concept prototype Project LYDIA by Roland Future Design Lab uses machine learning tech from Neutone to turn any input into a 'tone.' But this isn't just about 'modeling' -- far from it. It lets you process anything with anything else. Beatboxing, field recordings --...

01000011 01101111 01101111 01101100 00100001! Binary Synth runs in your browser, and translates any binary file from its zeros and ones into audio synthesis and MIDI messages. The code is available under an MIT license, too, if you want to play with it. The post Transform...

Via Jeff Mills' own account, here's a perfect Monday soundtrack, maybe made even better by sounding like it was mixed onto a cassette tape. The post Here’s Jeff Mills live at Tokyo’s Liquid Room ca 1995-1996, plus driving appeared first on CDM Create Digital Music.
The 5-voice Sequential and Oberheim hybrid analog/digital synths each got an OS update last week, and their playful new arpeggiator features are a reminder of why we love both brands. Think ten new arp modes and a dizzying new feature called 'whiplash,' plus other new...

A perfect 1U row doesn't exi-- oh, okay tubbetec. You got us. Add a row of big, clicky keys (or more 'tactile' ones) and get your step sequencing in a row on Eurorack. It's called 'Drummertime.' Genius. The post Turn that 1U row into a row of tactile TR-x0x step sequencing: ...
It's Hot Cues for Ableton Live, or cue points for Push for Live for Max for Live. Finally, those handy cue points can be triggered, with a ton of nice visual extras. That was a long-missing feature for DJs, but it might be an even bigger hit for live sets or improvisatory...
