Stylophone Theremin In-Depth Tutorial


Stylophone shared this in-depth series of tutorials on how to use their new Stylophone Theremin.

The Stylophone Theremin builds on the original Stylophone design, being battery powered featuring simple sound controls. It adds an antenna for pitch control, but unlike traditional theremins, uses a trigger with envelope for volume.

The instrument also features a slider for precise note control, delay and vibrato effects, octave control, and various tone options.

Free Sound Library For ASM Hydrasynth


Analoguesque Sound Designs has released a free collection of patches for the ASM Hydrasynth, Analoguesque Esoteric II.

What they have to say about the free sound library:

“This bank of 128 patches provides musicians with atmospheric punch for their compositions.

There are, of course, several basses and leads, but the bulk of the collection concentrates on atmospheric pads designed to fill, and sometimes, create spaces in a composition. There are plenty of dark and dirty pads, noisy atmospheric “factory” pads, light wispy sounds and FX, to fill out the mix in many interesting ways.

As is customary for Analoguesque Sound Designs, these are all downloadable free of charge.”

Analoguesque Esoteric II bank is available now, along 4 additional banks of free patches.
