Yester Versio adds a bunch of sound-shaping and performance controls to a three-tap delay it what looks like a promising package. It’s the latest addition to Versio, their stereo module line that lets you swap firmwares at will – meaning you might just get this for free when it arrives this week.

ASM’s Hydrasynth is one of the most capable sound design instruments available now, packed with modulation features for its polyphonic architecture. Version 2.0 packs expanded memory and new modulation and envelope tools, including quantization and the ability to advance one at a time through their unique LFO Steps.

Who needs presets or AI? An idea can start from anything – even extracted from the pixel values of some images you have stored on your phone. Pixel Music tries a different take on sequencing.

Replicant 3 might be the most unique of Audio Damage’s entire stable of plug-ins. The new version is rebuilt from the ground up, comes packed with new slice effects, and yet has a more capable, cleaner UI. It might just be the kind of software update that re-launches IDM as a genre.

Matriarch, Moog’s eminently patchable semi-modular paraphonic instrument, just got a slew of updates for playability. And there are new patch ideas, both in book and video form.

iOS these days can give you wonderful collections of instruments and effects as AUv3 plug-ins. The only problem? Other than some menus in your hosts, there’s nowhere to browse that collection. Enter AUBE.

ReBirth, the software recreations of the TB-303 and TR-808, helped launch Propellerhead (now Reason Studios) and demonstrated acid could be made on a PC. Now, imagine that software in 2023 but – much lower fidelity. Like, much worse. 128×128 pixel UI worse.

News cycles tend to move from crisis to crisis – ignoring what happens as crises deepen. Artists of Turkish, Syrian, and Kurdish heritage deserve more attention in Berlin and Germany generally, so today is a great time for some music, awareness, and action as areas impacted by last month’s earthquake still urgently need support.

Arturia’s V-Collection 9.2 bumps performance, compatibility, tuning and MPE support, and more. That includes all their vintage-inspired instruments, plus the AUGMENTED line and Pigments. Oh yeah, and one more thing – finally, resizable windows. Here’s what’s new.

It seems to be a season of digital delays, but this is something different. Dedalus is a creation of some beloved devs and experimentalists. They’ve combined delay with distortion, modulation (with drawable curves), and tons of granulation – all in a one-window UI. Calling it a “delay” almost seems like missing the point.
