Expert Sleepers’ disting NT: The Swiss Army Knife at the Heart of Simon Kirby’s Modular Rig

In this deep-dive masterclass from Signal Sounds, Simon Kirby puts Expert Sleepers’ disting NT through its paces as the central brain of his modular setup. With everything from sound generation to effects handled by a single module, Kirby methodically demonstrates just how pivotal the disting NT can be for compact Eurorack rigs and sophisticated live performance. This isn’t just a showcase; it’s a practical exploration of patching, performance workflows, and the subtle design choices that make the disting NT a modular chameleon. If you’re keen on understanding how a single module can anchor a whole system—while still leaving room for

Expressive E and the MPE Revolution: A Deep Dive into Polyphonic Expression

Expressive E, the French pioneers of musical expressivity, take center stage in this tutorial as they demystify MPE—MIDI Polyphonic Expression—for a new generation of synth enthusiasts. In this episode, film composer Josh Madoff walks us through the architectural leap from traditional MIDI to MPE, showing how instruments like Osmose and a host of compatible synths unlock nuanced, independent control over every note. The video isn’t just a technical explainer; it’s a hands-on demonstration of how MPE transforms performance workflows, sound design, and even the very feel of playing electronic instruments. If you’re curious about the future of expressive synthesis or
