UDO SUPER GEMINI BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS
video upload by elz production
"As the second synth in the 'Super' series, the Gemini represents a quantum leap in UDO's technology – building on the acclaimed rich sound pioneered by George Hearn and the Super 6. Adopting a true-stereo Binaural signal path with dual FPGAs and twin effects processors, Gemini will take you on an adventure of spectral dynamics, of glittering frequency and shattering subharmonics, of comfort and discord, expectations and surprises."
PANTOMIME 4 || 25 RANDOM PRESETS || FREE SYNTH PLUGIN
video upload by MAJETONE
"Updated to v103 - An overview of the Pantomime 4 synth plugin for VST3/AU/AAX (MAC & PC)
Available now from https://majetone.com/products/pantomi..."
"When I first started making kontakt instruments in 2020 I made a bunch of freebie instruments -
The Jazzman, Freedbaker etc etc. I always thought it would be good to update these and bring them inline with where I see Majetone going.
For It to still be free- obsensibly acting as a demo for the larger libraries I offer (Dream Kit: Zenith, for example).
Pantomime 4 is a plugin for
VST3/AU/AAX (Mac 10.15+)
&
VST3 (Windows 11+)"
25 Waveforms :
Over 100 custom presets.
Classic, weird keyboards and unique tape effects
10 Custom Reverbs
Recorded at Hoxa, Fortress of Solitude & Otterhead Studios."
Pamela's Disco: sync DJ decks to modular - Buchla & Friends
video upload by CatSynth TV
"Zoey of ALM Busy Circuits gives us a demo of their new Pamela's Disco module at Buchla & Friends 2026. Pamela's Disco connects to a PRO DJ-LINK network and converts the incoming "master tempo" to standard Eurorack clock signals that can be used to synchronize sequencers, LFOs, and modules, including the Pamela's PRO Workout (as shown in this demo). This allows modular systems to be synchronized with DJ decks and follow tempo changes and even scratches and spin ups/downs.
We also get a sneak preview of a few other upcoming modules from ALM Busy Ciruits.

Industrial experiment with Hexdrums, Xenodrive & the Echolocator
video upload by Richard DeHove
"This is an experiment. It started with the thought: "What if I took just two voices from Hexdrums and feed them as individual outs left and right into the Xenodrive?". That felt a little raw even for me so I then added the Echolocator after the Xeno. After hooking it up I had a joyous 30-minute "jazz odyssey" of which this is the still-very-long-for-pure-drums cutdown version.
All three machines are tweaked as a single control surface and I don't think any machine here is the star. They all do their bit. Since there's no unaffected sound keeping things stable the Xeno work is quite restrained compared with the complete destruction of which it's capable, and likewise the Echolocator stays reasonably tame.
Was there a lesson from all this? Perhaps it's just that trying odd combinations is fun. On a more practical level I can certainly see that various sections could be usefully sampled as loops. To that end I've put together a pack of 16bit 44KHz loops at 110bpm that are on my Patreon page. Many of them can be usefully split left and right for further processing.
As usual there is no DAW processing and the volume has all the ups and downs of the original.

15 minutes with Smoothie Audio Smear, a 98-pole allpass filter
video upload by Signal Sounds and Tom Churchill
"Tom takes a look at Smear, the debut module from Smoothie Audio. It’s a dual stereo 98-pole allpass filter, and it’s capable of some pretty mind-bending spectral effects.

"We say...
It's not often that we come across something genuinely new and innovative in Eurorack these days, but Smear is just that - a pair of stereo 98-pole all-pass filters that open up all sorts of strange sonic territory. Brilliant!
Manufacturer's description
Smear is Smoothie Audio’s first Eurorack module - a dual stereo 98-pole allpass filter unlike anything else in your rack.
At its core, Smear takes a deceptively simple concept - the allpass filter, usually buried deep inside reverb algorithms — and refines it into a playable, sculptural processor. A single allpass subtly shifts the phase of incoming audio while passing the entire signal unfiltered. Stack 98 poles in series, and the effect becomes striking: frequencies across the spectrum are delayed by different amounts, creating a rich spectral delay that can smear, morph, and transform sound.
Smear can be become different effects, according to how you set the parameters:
Transient Smearing & Spectral Delay that reshapes transients, can add punch
Resonator & Percussion Voice for metallic, physical-modeling tones when pushed into feedback territory
Morphing filter & Phasor for animated timbral movement
Interface & Controls
The panel is laid out symmetrically, with two identical sections (Left and Right). By default, stereo audio flows left → right → out, but a dedicated Split Mode allows each side to process audio independently.
Each section offers three core parameters — Frequency, Resonance, and Stages — each with dedicated CV inputs. Frequency and Resonance have attenuverters for precise modulation. A global Feedback control (with CV) unlocks resonant, flanger-like, and physical-modeling behaviors.
The Stage sliders reveal Smear’s hidden depth: with LEDs indicating crossfade modes between filter poles, you can dive into complex notch filtering, animated flams, and evolving timbral movement. Modulate them, and the module comes alive with unpredictable, dynamic filtering effects.
Built on the Daisy platform by Electrosmith
CV inputs -5V to 5V
48kHZ sampling rate"
