The sound library features:

  • Classic & modern Berlin sequences
  • Complex arpeggios
  • “Moogy” leads & solos

Stylophone Intros On-The-Fly Performance Sequencer


Ahead of the 2026 NAMM Show, being held Jan 22–24 in Anaheim, California, Stylophone has introduced the Stylophone On-The-Fly Performance Sequencer, the latest addition to their Stylophone Pro Range.

As its name suggests, the Stylophone On-The-Fly sequencer is designed for real-time performance and programming. Every control responds instantly, letting you shape patterns with rhythm, pitch, and playing-style variations while the sequence is running.

With full Eurorack CV, Gate, Sync, and MIDI connectivity, it integrates into modular, MIDI, and hybrid setups. They say it also scales up easily with more units into a multi-sequencer system.

Features:

  • Performance-focused 16, 32 or 64-step sequences with 8 live-switchable pattern chains each
  • Instantly switchable sequence directions, Forward, Reverse, Bounce
  • On-the-fly switching between 24 sequence memories with per-step pitch and duty cycle
  • Hands-on control — tweak everything while playing
  • Musical scale & transpose control (Knob, CV, or MIDI)
  • Creative step effects: skip, rest, tie, glide, ratchet, random
  • Manual performance button for instant fills and movement
  • Groove controls: tempo, swing, lead/lag timing, note length, gate length (duty)
  • Loop Record your performance up to 1024 steps
  • Per-step gate outputs (8 separate gate outs plus the summed Gate Out)
  • Eurorack-ready CV & Gate I/O plus MIDI & Sync
  • Expandable system — link and sync multiple units for larger setups

Details are still to come at the Stylophone site.

 

ASM Leviasynth Review & Hands-On Demo


Host Ziv Eliraz – in his latest loopop video – takes an in-depth look at the new ASM Leviasynth, a 16-voice hybrid digital/analog synthesizer from the creators of the Hydrasynth.

“Its interface and effects resemble Hydrasynth in many ways, but the oscillator structure and workflow is totally different and new,” he notes. “It’s got 8 oscillators, 13 envelopes and an analog filter per voice, a new sequencer, and plenty of other updates throughout.”

As ever, Eliraz offers an overview, plenty of audio demos and his thoughts on the pros and cons.
