Developer Cyrille Henry shared news about important updates for the Nozoïd Kagouyar, a semi-modular polyphonic virtual analogue synthesizer..

Not only has the Kagouyar firmware received a major update, adding deeper synthesis options, but the price has been reduced to €849.

Here’s what’s new in Kagouyar version 2.0:

• 2× more VCO waveforms (via long click on waveform)
• 2× more LFO waveforms (via long click on waveform)
• 2× more audio effects (via long click on effect)
• Added A/D mode (selectable in place of the A/R envelope generator)
• Added DJ mode to the VCF2 filter (low/high on the same potentiometer)
• Added very slow mode for LFO 4, 5 and 6 (up to more than 2.5h period)
• Changed LFO SYNC modulation: frequency division now depends on LFO Fq range, division or multiplication goes from /128 to ×128
• Changed automodulation in LFO SYNC: modulation potentiometer allows dividing or multiplying LFO frequency by factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 8
• New LFO CLIP modulation functionality when no modulation is set: LFO waveform is clipped in various steps (like a bitcrusher)
• When “LOAD” switch is pressed, potentiometers are no longer updated to allow cut transitions
• Added option to use CV switch to control keyboard octave (LOAD + SAVE + KB13
• MIDI note velocity now controls note amplitude

The Kagouyar is available now, priced at €849.

Synthesist Floyd Steinberg  – in his latest video – takes a look at the new AMYboard, a 10HP Eurorack-compatible synthesizer that lets you load a variety of synths, with digital and analog audio, MIDI, and two CV channels.

The AMYboard can act as a sampler, play WAV files, or let you make your own synthesizer setups in code from bare oscillators, effects, and filters. AMY is open-source and runs on all sorts of hardware.

SonicModeler has introduced Syntropy, a new software synthesizer for Mac and Windows that generates sound through mathematical modeling rather than traditional oscillator architectures.

They say that the synthesis system is designed to support both precise control and exploratory sound creation, ranging from conventional synthesizer timbres to evolving textures and experimental sonic structures.

The instrument supports expressive performance workflows through MPE compatibility, microtuning capabilities, and multisample export functions for integration with other software environments. Syntropy is available as a standalone application as well as VST3 and CLAP plugin formats for modern production workflows.

Features:

• Custom mathematical functions are included alongside standard mathematical operations for sound generation
• The instrument is designed for experimental sound design and synthesis workflows
• MPE performance control is supported
• ROLI 5D controller compatibility is included
• Microtuning support is provided
• 500 factory preset cover basses, leads, pads, effects, and other synthesizer sounds

Syntropy is available now for €59.
