OXI Instruments OXI One MKII: Rapid Lead Line Creation and Expressive Sequencing

3. November 2026
An arpeggio is running, but the real accents come from the filter: Sineway demonstrates on the MiniFreak how a custom-shaped LFO plays along rhythmically. For the bass, he deliberately keeps the sound simple. Two older contributions from AutomaticGainsay and Nu-Trix take the tinkering idea further—from the exposed triangle wave to a drum sound that almost becomes a bassline.

Continuum App: Reverb grows as you let go
JET
More pressure doesn’t have to mean more effect: In Haken’s app demo, Josh Madoff lets the reverb swell when releasing, and makes high notes sound darker. This is about more than convenient editing. Cuckoo’s earlier Continuum demo shows how closely sound and playing style are linked—and why a new sound sometimes demands new habits from your hands.

Vulture Culture Calls Out Behringer: The JN-80 Poly Aftertouch Fiasco
SPARKY
Behringer’s JN-80 was hyped as a poly aftertouch monster. But Vulture Culture digs in and finds the truth is much less glamorous—and a lot more channel aftertouch. Expect sharp commentary, forensic MIDI sleuthing, and a take-no-prisoners teardown of misleading specs. If you like your synth news unfiltered, strap in for this one.

Harvey Sutherland: Finished stems, open decisions
ZAPP
How much should already be set in a live set? Harvey Sutherland shows on Noisegate how prepared audio tracks become flexible again in his hands – with Session View, dub interventions, and an idiosyncratic drum treatment. Tom Lonsborough on sonicstate and Rapid Flow take different approaches: They organize instrument changes and play in an arrangement instead of just drawing it.

Roland n/vision: When Timbre Takes the Lead
LUMINA
An arpeggio doesn’t need constant new notes to keep changing. Voltage Labs shows with Roland’s n/vision how layer mix and sound shaping keep a track in motion. At Andertons, vocal-like wavetable sweeps, measured grit, and a striking observation are added: Sometimes, maybe the ear decides better than the prettiest waveform graphic where a sound should go.

Bthelick Dishes Out Chord and Bass Mastery for All Genres
If you’ve ever mashed up a beat and wondered why your chords sound like soggy fries, Bthelick’s got your back. This video breaks down how to lay down foundational chord progressions and weave bass lines that slap, all in the style of KETTAMA. Expect real-world hacks, dancefloor-tested grooves, and enough theory to keep you out of music jail—but not so much you need a PhD. Whether you’re cooking up house, trance, or just want your tracks to stop sounding like elevator music, these lessons are pure street gold.

MPC Sample: Different Software, Same Pads?
Different software, familiar pads: Sunwarper sees community code as an opportunity to adapt the MPC Sample more closely to his own workflow. In his earlier hands-on video, Gabe Miller demonstrates how concrete such wishes can be—from scales to resampling. What matters is not the next long feature list, but whether an instrument can be operated more purposefully. And who reliably maintains it afterwards.

Jupiter-08: Better to be original than a perfect copy
Does a Jupiter first have to prove its pedigree? Bloom Music finds the very possibilities that go beyond mere copying to be the most exciting aspect of the Roland Jupiter-08: two layers without halved polyphony, different filters, and plenty of effects. At Sonicstate, simulated aging is even allowed to go too far, while Voltage Labs builds a track from the sound material. Here, musical freedom is more interesting than clone duty.
