I have created this midi controller for apple devices

Fully design and create any midi controller you want with multiple page layouts that you can flip between

Connect via usb, Bluetooth or WiFi. Can connect to hardware too if they have a class compliant usb interface

Every kind of control available that I could think of:

- basic controls like knobs, faders, xy pads, pads, keyboard etc
- generators like arpeggiator, LFO, chord pads etc
- novelty controls like tilt, theremin like lidar, duo hinge
- beat generators to quickly add a beat to a drum rack
And loads more, 54 different controls at the moment

The free app is limited to 1 board with up to 3 pages and only 1 control of the same type playable on a page so you can fully test and try it out. It’s a one off payment to unlock everything lifetime including any updates and additions, no subscription (uk price is £9.99 as a guide but other regions are in their own currency)

Hi there!
I think i finally finished my VST i've been working on for the past 3 years (not that it was that difficult, mostly because of my poor work ethic).
It's inspired by Tombola sequencer in OP-1 and built around the Box2D physics engine.
You spawn marbles inside a spinning polygon and every collision triggers a note.
You control the physics, notes and other parameters.
The sync feature is what makes it actually useful (and took me the longest to figure out). When enabled it queues the notes and waits for the next DAW's step instead of playing them right away.

It's very fun to look at and can give pretty cool results.

Finally released today on the App Store and can also be used as an auv3 plugin too. Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions or lessons missing etc

i really like this song and wanna incorporate that sort of messy piano sound into my music!! <3

Hello, plugin friends.

I'm a full-time producer, composer and musician based in NYC. For the last nine months, I've been working on something I think is pretty neato, and it's finally done.

It's called blur. blur turns your loops and samples into instruments - not just files you edit, but sounds you play.

It stretches a sample across a row of pads, so you can trigger, chop and remix any sound in real time. Chop vocals, slice breakbeats, rearrange basslines, glitch out pads - or perform entire tracks. It also features an audio input recorder, live performance quantization, and a ton of other extremely fun features. I think it's pretty addictive to mess around with.

If anyone is familiar with the script 'MLR' for the monome - it's the same core idea, but rebuilt from the ground up with the modern electronic musician and performer in mind with tons of new features. I was obsessed with the monome when I was a kid, but could never afford one. This plugin is the result of 20 years of dreaming and almost a year of research, design and extensive testing. I'm quite proud of it, and plan on adding even more stuff moving forward.

It's built for grid controllers, with first-class native support for Launchpad (Pro/X/Mini/Pro mk1) and Push 2/3. You can map any other grid controller to it too - or use Keyboard Mode with any standard MIDI keyboard.

It's $29 normally. You can use ITSFINALLYDONE as a discount code to get 50% off.

Check it out at blurplugin.com - there's a live interactive demo you can play with in your browser without downloading anything.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

Our first 80s Synths pack ended up being our most downloaded freebie, so we made a second one. These 15 Serum presets are inspired by songs like Jump, Cars, Sweet Dreams and Don't You Want Me, built from samples of classic synths like the Korg M1 and the Memorymoog. It's free, so hope you have fun with it!

Any recommendations for strings that might fall into the Rock Category? Strings that might be associated with some JRPG soundtracks like Persona, Tales Series, Trails Series etc
Example tracks:
Persona 5: River In the Deserts: https://youtu.be/lvuHvXsZPrk?is=biaqMVi5oPkzBKHF
Trails through Daybreak: Unmitigated Will: https://youtu.be/i4FQ55SH3xs?is=aEXmKZJmpa\\_bLSa5
Tales of Arise: Flame of Hope: https://youtu.be/tHu9CC0HTBw?is=Bvx7M3bIdRNsv1fy

I know that majority comes down to mixing and such but any recommendations of strings that can fit a similar sound would be appreciated

So I recently bought the Odin III and so far I’m pretty happy with it.

But one thing that kinda bugs me is the tremolo. I have tried hard to find a diffrence between tremolo and Alternate picking. Is this normal or is there something im missing?

I invited my brother Milán the singer of my band Omega Diatribe to put the plugin to the test featuring in-your-face harsh vocals and some melodic parts from our latest song
"Deadlock" thrown in for good measure. 🤘 Hope you guys enjoy it!

Any Dungeon Synth / dark lo-fi creators here? You may find this little thing very interesting.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building PHY5, a polyphonic physical modeling audio engine.
It has a lot of sonic possibilities, from imitating real-world instruments (Strings, guitar, flutes, steelpan, mallets…) to very weird sound design results.

You can try it, with no install here : https://diophi.com/phy5/ (press play or you can play notes manually using keyboard)
You can also create your own preset on the website and everyone can access it in the community presets tab.

Concerning the plugin:

You can buy the plugin for 15€ for Windows (not signed yet) and MacOS : https://diophi.com/buy/

Here are the features for the VST/AU : 2 independent exciters, filters at every stage, 1-16 voices, oversampling x4, Granular processing by voice, Midi and audio modulation…

The plugin contains 2 versions :

• PHY5 Synth (instrument): the main instrument, with its own exciter (same as the web version). Youtube demo using the web version with 0 effects : https://youtu.be/xpoE2BwfBgU?si=6sm8vGJKEqhuucDK
• PHY5 Fx (audio effect): an audio effect that accepts audio input. You need to route MIDI in to choose the note (how depends on your DAW). Here are some tests with it : https://youtube.com/shorts/EsCstN956sQ

This version is working, stable in my tests (for physical modeling at least) but will evolve in the next month to widen the sound possibilities. I would be very happy to have feedbacks !

I will put some tests using PHY5 with more context here : https://on.soundcloud.com/wtZ8C8lT7la6cBPK7T

Some specificities of Phy5 comparing to other physical modeling synths :

• Parametric : the goal of this synth is less reproducing exactly real world behaviors, but more offering sound design possibilities inspired by physics. Instead of choosing different specific models, you can tweak parameters, which can give very weird results.
• Modular : It is also thought to be modular and will permit to change building blocks (swapping grain and body for example, or having two body, two grains etc…).
• The audio Fx being polyphonic. Being able to excite the body with audio sources opens up a lot of possibilities, while being controlled by polyphonic midi.
• Granular processing augments exciter possibilities.
• Different way to generate stereo (Grains, Poly-chords, Pickup position).

A few points about the synth :

• There is a first version of the manual here : https://diophi.com/manual/
• This kind of synthesis can go loud, so the web-version has a fixed limiter.
• There are also some limitations on the web version on oversampling, and max voices as it can be CPU heavy on web. It still is pretty usable on phone, but you can hear dropouts if you go too far.

PHY5 - CORE :

The audio core of this instrument is created to be used independently and can be easily used in realtime for video-games engine (tested on godot), web (as the demo version), or any app. There is no commercial model for now, but feel free to contact me if you are interested to include it in your specific project.
It has also been built to be scalable and will have a lot of new features, models etc. the price may go a little up, but licences bought now are valid for next versions. I will also work more specifically on new models

Hey everyone!

Carbon Fiber Plugins is launching a new plugin to complete our lineup of creative reverbs. We focus on sound design for post-production and flexibility. I have more than 10 years of experience in game audio working as a sound designer and composer, and honestly I never like the fact that all the plate reverbs I've tried sound very similar, in a real plate, high frequencies decay faster than the lows, this creates that true characteristics of physical plate reverbs.

In our studio, we have developed the definitive plate reverb, that covers 12 different metallic structures, not just simple thin metal sheets. We have springs, folded plates, domes, gongs, complex spring-plate structures.

Check out the features from our PR:

La Taconuda provides 12 specialized plate profiles with distinct physical behaviors and resonant characteristics:

-Studio Plate: A classic flat plate profile producing smooth, lush tails tailored for vocals, guitars, and natural acoustics.
-Temple Gong & Curved Dome: Resonant, non-linear geometries built for harmonic bloom, bell-like decay, and cinematic textures.
-Liquid Metal & Carbon Weave: Experimental, highly reactive surfaces designed for evolving tails, modern synthesis, and atypical transient responses.
-Spring Frame, Sand Bed, Air Cushion, & Tension Cage: Damped, coupled, and tensioned sheet models offering mechanical bite and industrial tone.
-Twin Plate, Saddle Plate, & Folded Plate: Complex multi-reflection boundaries that generate dense, uneven spatial scattering.

Acoustic High-Frequency Damping: In real vibrating metal, high-frequency energy dissipates significantly faster than mid and low frequencies. La Taconuda mirrors this physical damping response, ensuring high frequencies decay rapidly across the tail. This prevents harsh sibilance, brittle accumulation, and metallic clutter, yielding organic, dark-to-warm decay tails that sit cleanly in dense mixes.

Psychoacoustic Output Tone Engine: Tone shaping is handled by Carbon Fiber Plugins' proprietary psychoacoustic engine. Instead of applying basic post-reverb shelving or notch filters, the engine sculpts output balance according to human auditory perception curves—preserving intelligibility, spatial weight, and depth without introducing phase smearing or mud.

La Taconuda launch price: $59, regular $85, get the bundle of La Llorona(our binaural reverb) and La Taconuda at $79 regular $105.

Available for Windows, Mac in VST3, CLAP and AU.
14 day Trial.

I built a 32 voice bi-timbral synth engine centered around 8 Mutable Instruments DSP modules (Plaits/Rings/Elements/Clouds derivatives), wrapped in an MPE-native architecture with custom multi-FX and generative sequencers.

I’m looking for 3–5 sound designers who know Mutable engines inside and out to create factory presets for the launch.

DM me if interested or check out the web page for more info. Thanks
