The video, via Elektronick Musick, offers a preview of LaunchCodes, a free virtual instrument for Mac & Windows that’s built for synthesizing explosive hits and basses.
LaunchCodes offers highly automatable wave and noise generators, a fully re-orderable and customizable effects rack, and two LFOs that can modulate nearly anything.
Features:
Wave generator—with four basic wave types, push the oscillator to its limits with fully automatable amplitude & pitch envelopes and four pitch parameters. Craft punishing basses, psychedelic patterns, or whimsical keys quickly
Noise generator—low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass modes with adjustable Q and Coarse on the filter envelope give you a wide palette for expressive percussion hits, mysterious sweeps, and screaming noise
Re-orderable effects rack—a delay unit for creative feedback and foreboding echoes, a reverb unit for huge clouds of fallout, a filter unit for sculpted resonances and bass-boosting, and a fully-editable waveshaper function for your own personal brand of distortion
Double LFO unit—for maximum expression, modulate almost any parameter in LaunchCodes with the four basic waveforms, and control the modulation range and direction on each parameter individually
A big red button—a big red button
Built-in presets to get you going right away, and an easy way to save and browse your favorite patches

Apatite has shared Magic Mellotron – a free collection of Serum 2 presets, inspired by one of the most iconic instruments ever made.
Here’s what they have to say about the collection:
“Years after transforming my first Mellotron sounds into Serum presets, I decided it was time to revisit this legendary instrument. This time with a twist.
Instead of simply imitating the original tones, I pushed Serum to its full potential, using all the features that make the synth so powerful today. The result?
Completely new sonic possibilities that still carry the unmistakable Mellotron charm.
Every preset in this pack is built from at least one audio sample or wavetable derived from authentic Mellotron recordings. This preserves the nostalgic character of the source while blending it with the flexibility and creative range of a cutting-edge wavetable synth.
It’s truly the best of both worlds.”
The collection contains 20 new Serum 2 presets.
Magic Mellotron is available now as a free download.
