The video, via abominable music, offers a preview of OB-Xf, an open source project from the Surge team, aiming to recreate the sound of the classic Oberheim OB-X.
OB-Xf is currently available as a standalone application on macOS, Windows, and Linux (VST3, AU, LV2, CLAP formats).
To install on your system, download the appropriate installer (dmg, exe, deb) and run it.
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.
