Sugar Bytes NEST, the company’s new ‘DIY sequencer’, have the potential to help you to make music “with a life of its own”. Nest is a modular sequencer.

To make explanation simple,  Nest is a modular system that can be used to create MIDI, and there are 20 modules that you can patch together – said to be inspired by “classic integrated circuits and today’s computer features” – means it is inevitable that things are going to get pretty deep, pretty fast.

NEST enables you to generate up to eight MIDI voices and assign them to four targets. There are internal synths and drums, and you can host up to four VST 2 plugins. Up to 12 scenes can be saved and recalled via MIDI, and you can send to 16 MIDI channels. There’s support for MIDI CCs and automation, and you get five stereo audio outs and a “flexible scale system”.

By patching together the modules, you can create intelligent musical contraptions that will spin your music off in different directions. Nest is not restricted to software either,  you can also use it to drive your hardware.

Key Features

• Build your own sequencer!

Baby Audio thinks that it has created one like no other.

Baby Audio has released an AI tape emulation plugin to capture the invisible nuances of analogue circuits.

TAIP is built around an AI algorithm that is designed to “decipher the invisible nuances of analogue circuits”.

Using this method, Baby Audio says that it’s recreated “the true warmth and behaviour of analogue tape”.

You can create custom tape flavours to suit your requirements – to add saturation and glue to drums, instruments and vocals, for example – or drive it hard and use TAIP as an alternative to a distortion plugin. 135 presets are included, too.

TAIP runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU/AAX formats. The full price is $69, but you can currently purchase it for $39, and there’s also a demo.

Developer Julien Delgoulet let us know that a new batch of PCBs & panels for the MME, a Euro-format clone of the Minimoog Model D rev 2.0. are now available.

The MME is a DIY project that lets you build a Minimoog clone in 60hp, the same as Moog’s Euro format synths:

The MME offers several additions to the Minimoog Rev 2 design:

• VCOs PW
• VCOs PWM
• VCO1->VCO2 Sync
• VCO1->VCO3 Sync
• CV input for each VCO (allow to use the MME as a praphonic synth with the right Midi/CV-Gate interface)
• VCF-Env output
• VCA-Env output
• Mod-Wheel input that allows to use a CV to control the VCO-3/Noise modulation level.

You can read more about the development of the MME in a thread at Modwiggler.  A detailed build guide is also available.

The MME is available as a DIY project, with options starting with a barebones PCB set for €55.
