A brand-new massive library inspired by four 90s classic keyboards — the Yamaha SY77, the Korg M1, the Roland D50 and the Ensoniq VFX : UVI Digital Synsations
Digital Synsations includes over 500 patches expertly programmed on a fully restored Yamaha SY77, Korg M1, Roland D50 and Ensoniq VFX‚ used by many of the greats including Depeche Mode, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, Vangelis, Brian Eno, Toto, 808 State, Jean Michael Jarre and more.
We deeply multi-sampled these custom patches using top-shelf equipment and edited them to perfection before sending them off for professional mastering. These sonics became the foundation for our new hybrid instrument and combined with the UVI Engine give you the true character of these classic synths with all of the peculiarities and programming by products intact. Not only that but you get them in an extremely easy to use and fast to edit environment complete with all the features you expect from a modern virtual instrument.
If you’re looking for a new take on the 90’s sound, or just some new classic synth inspiration then look no further.

New eurorack modules from Mutable Instruments
Four new modules from Mutable Instruments. This time it’s not DIY but ready made euro rack modules.
Braid: Macro oscillator
Voltage-controlled digital oscillator featuring 33 synthesis algorithms from 8 categories:
– analog VCO emulation
– direct digital synthesis
– vowel/formant synthesis
– 2-operator FM
– physical simulation of tubes and strings
– wavetable synthesis
– filtered/coloured/pitched noise
– granular/particular
Bonus features include a note quantizer, sample/bit rate controls, and a basic AD envelope to modulate the timbre when receiving a trigger.
Edges: Quad chiptune audio generator
4 channels of soundchip-style sounds, with frequency CV control and Gate control (note on/off).
Channels 1 and 3 are square/pulse (4 MHz clock rate) with 5 preset duty cycles. Extra modulation options are 1>2 sync, 1^2 ringmod and 1^3 ringmod. Channel 4 is either a NES-triangle or one of several flavors of pitched LSFR noise.
Bonus features: 8-step sequence recorder for each channel (individually clocked by the channel’s GATE input) ; input CV quantizer ; DIY MIDI interface.
Ripples: Liquid filter
4-pole VCF with multimode outputs: 4-pole lowpass, 2-pole lowpass, 2-pole bandpass.
2 frequency CV inputs, one with 1V/Oct ratio, the other with attenuverter.
Voltage controlled resonance.
Voltage controlled gain for the LP4 output – making this module an ideal “end of signal chain” for a compact subtractive voice.
Grids: Topographic drum sequencer (som i Anushri fast med fetare modellering av trumljud)
Algorithmic 3-channel drum pattern generator with progressive, CV-controlled morphing through patterns (Map X and Map Y controls), and CV-controlled control over the density/sparsity of the pattern (Fill controls).
Bonus features: internal clock with tap-tempo, input clock divider, “vanilla euclidean sequencer” mode, bonus outputs (clock, reset, random pulses), DIY MIDI interface offering clock sync.
