Stagecraft Software Intros Cenere Software Synthesizer


Stagecraft Software has introduced Cenere, a versatile subtractive synthesizer that is designed to capture the character of vintage synthesizers, paired with all the power of modern wavetables.

Here’s what they have to say about Cenere:

“You can automate every parameter at audio rate, and run it all through analog morphing filters, crank it up to 9 unison layers with drift and detune meant to make it feel like analog gear pushed to the max. Then run it all through some effects.

Here, you can easily shape your sound to be anything from a sweet, light organ to a growling, aggressive lead.”


Features:

  • Vintage style oscillators with true real time hard sync
  • Large selection of analog modeled filters, including continuous morph filters
  • Audio rate mod capable parameters
  • Arbitrary mod (click to link style)
  • Unison engine (9 layers) with spread, gravity, drift control for incredible depth
  • Velocity / Aftertouch / MPE / note(pitch) modding
  • Polyphonic portamento
  • 20+ quality effects

Stagecraft Software Cenere is available now – for Mac & Windows – for $200 USD.

Brooklyn Synth + Pedal Expo Returns October 17 – 18


The Deli and Delicious Audio have announced the Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo. The two-day event pops up in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, October 17–18, at a 7,000-square-foot warehouse turned immersive playground for electronic music creators.

Presented in partnership with Three Wave Musicthe Expo offers a strictly in-the-headphones experience — letting attendees demo the latest synthesizers, effects pedals, and modular gear from over 100 brands in a noise-friendly environment.

The show is expected to draw more than 2,000 visitors: a mix of musicians, producers, and gear enthusiasts.

“Intro to Synthesis” Workshops. This year, the Expo expands beyond its large exhibition floor with a new lineup of educational workshops focused on synthesis — from hands-on patch-building sessions to deep dives into modular workflows, led by working artists and builders. A schedule of the workshops will be announced soon.

“This is an event built for discovery,” said Expo founder Paolo De Gregorio. “The headphone format creates a respectful space where you can truly hear the nuances of a boutique pedal or get lost in a massive modular patch — without the noise of a typical convention. It’s a focused, community-driven experience.”

About the Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo. The Expo is an annual gathering celebrating the tools of electronic music — from compact desktop synths to sprawling modular systems. Tickets range in price from $5 early-bird tickets to $25 “no crowd” Sunday admission. Children can attend for free, if accompanied by their grown-up.
