Reader Gary (gary909.github.io) let us know that he’s shared JT4000M Programmer, a free web-based patch editor for the Behringer JT-4000 Micro Synthesizer.
“Hopefully, it should make creating new sounds on the thing a little bit more fun than going through the menus!” he notes. “It’s been tested running on Chrome and Android, hopefully it should work on most other platforms.”
If you create a sound you want to save, just press down on the ‘Select’ pot, and the sound will overwrite the currently selected sound.

Sinevibes has released a major update to Skew, its non-linear reverse delay plugin for Linux, Mac and Windows, and made it available as a free download.
Skew constantly records the incoming audio into a buffer and plays it back in reversed chunks, rhythmically synchronizing them to the host transport. Furthermore, this algorithm warps the delay playback speed via a selection of non-linear curves, bending the pitch in interesting ways.
This is not a limited-time offer – Skew v2 is now a free plugin in Sinevibes’ lineup.
New in Skew v2:
- Added non-destructive Feedback parameter that operates via a newly-added, third playhead (thus preventing the optional speed/pitch bend effects from accumulating over time)
- Revised selection of curves with new “Warp” curve type
- Re-calibrated reverser fade in/out envelopes
- New input/output mixdown controls with separate Send, Return and Mix parameters
- Updated collection of factory presets
Skew 2 is available now as a free download. Email registration is required.

U-He has released Zebralette 3, a free software synthesizer for Linux, Mac and Windows.
Zebralette 3 is based on a single oscillator from Zebra 3 (which is now available as a beta release).
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“Zebralette 3 is a single oscillator plucked from the mothership and embedded within a minimal synth environment: ADSR envelope, MSEG, two LFOs, mod matrix, delay and reverb effects. Like its predecessor, Zebralette 3 is freeware.
The oscillator is in a league of its own: Spline-based editing, a dynamic toolbox borrowed from vector graphic apps, various morphing options between up to 16 ‘curves’, a pair of waveform mangling algorithms, an audio engine switchable between traditional waves and additive synthesis. Although it isn’t a wavetable synth, the curve sets can be exported as wavetables in .WAV format for use elsewhere.”
Zebralette 3.0 can be downloaded now at the u-he site.
