When The Unperson gets their hands on Elastic OSC, things get messy—in a good way. This isn’t just Plaits in a DAW; it’s a rave bunker full of sonic chaos, with polyphony, FX, and modulation galore. If you thought the original Plaits was punchy, wait until you hear it going wild with delay, distortion, and more LFOs than your nan’s got teabags. Dive in for presets, jams, and a proper thrashing of this mutant software synth.

Molten Music Technology Brings the Noise: Radio Music 2 & 8mu DIY Build Reviewed

SPARKY

Forget your Disting menu-dives—Molten Music Technology dives headfirst into the Music Thing Modular Radio Music 2 and 8mu controller with classic British DIY gusto. If you love solder fumes, sample chaos and a bit of live gig pressure, this video’s got your number. Robin Vincent’s build is as much about dodgy solder, missing nuts, and the satisfaction of a wonky but functional module as it is about sonic potential. Don’t expect clinical step-by-steps—this is a rave bunker, not a classroom.

Verysickbeats Puts Koala Sampler’s New Stem Splitter to the Street Test

RILEY

You thought Koala Sampler was already the king of flipping on your phone? Well, JFilt from Verysickbeats just showed us it got a fresh stem-splitting update, and now it’s slicing samples cleaner than a deli on payday. This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a workflow glow-up for every mobile beatmaker hustling with an iPhone or iPad. We’re talking high-quality splits, real talk comparisons, and the kind of demo only a true beat head brings. Grab your headphones; there’s some A/B magic in the mix.

Whispering Air and Resonance: Martin Stürtzer’s Journey through Modartt Airteq

LUMINA

In the hands of Martin Stürtzer, sound is sculpted like morning fog drifting through stained glass. With the Airteq by Modartt, organ pipes no longer stand silent—they become vessels for breath, nuance, and sonic storytelling. This review drifts through Martin’s poetic patchwork, exploring how physical modeling and MPE control unlock new dimensions for ambient music. The video is as much a meditation as a demonstration, inviting us to listen beyond the surface. Some mysteries, of course, can only be inhaled through the screen.

Dirtywave M8 on iOS: sunwarper Dives in Headfirst (No Manual, No Mercy)

SPARKY

What happens when sunwarper, LA’s master of warped electronics, throws himself headlong into the tracker world of the Dirtywave M8 on iOS—without so much as a glance at the manual? Expect confusion, happy accidents, and a beat that slaps harder than your mate’s old 909. In true sunwarper style, menus are bashed, synths get mangled, and the learning curve turns into a rave bunker rollercoaster. If you’re tracker-curious or just love watching someone wrestle a new groovebox into submission, this one’s for you.

AudioPilz vs. cyma forma RND: The One-Button Synth That Flips the Bird to Tradition

JET

AudioPilz dives headfirst into the wild world of the cyma forma RND, a synth that’s got less respect for convention than a punk at a wine tasting. It’s a one-button wonder (or disaster, depending who you ask) that spits out random patterns and sounds like a slot machine wired to a broken Speak & Spell. In typical Bad Gear style, expect brutal honesty, sharp gags, and a teardown of whether this device is a meme, a miracle, or just musical ragebait. If you like your synths unpredictable and your reviews with extra bite, this is your jam.

Prepare to dissolve into layers of raw performance, organic textures, and voices that echo like ancient weather.

Expressive E Osmose Firmware 2.3: DAW Control, Ctrl-e and the Next Level of Expressive Integration

LYRA

Expressive E’s latest firmware update for the Osmose transforms this already boundary-pushing instrument into a serious hub for expressive digital workflows. With version 2.3, the Osmose now offers advanced DAW integration and access to the Ctrl-e platform, giving musicians hands-on control over both software and hardware setups. The update focuses not just on more sounds and presets, but on refining the user experience—streamlining MIDI, adding workflow shortcuts, and making the Osmose an even more compelling centerpiece for creative studios and stage rigs.
