If you missed it, yesterday I published a new video on my YouTube channel featuring Wind Chimes by Cem Olcay - It’s a brilliant physics based, wind-powered generative MIDI sequencer. Check it out! youtu.be/UBIyZJ5Y1qE?...

This news has been posted by @altusmusic.bsky.social already some days ago: altusmusic.ca/25years.html - lots of free Bandcamp codes for Altus' first releases. Giving a little back - I just bought his albums Willoweald and Keepsake. Can't go wrong here if you enjoy #ambient and #cinematic sounds.

Quantum Delay is a fun and powerful modular delay plug-in to get creative with. It’s got a wide sound palette and can reproduce anything from classical analogue delay algoritms to weird, wonky and wacked out ModFX. youtu.be/VH-83_Kmpgo?...
