OXI Instruments returns with a deep dive into the OXI One MKII’s Stochastic mode—a sequencing paradigm that swaps traditional step entry for a living, probabilistic ecosystem. Instead of laboriously programming every note and rhythm, users guide generative patterns using probabilities, pitch and rhythm mutation, and a flexible interface. This official walkthrough lays out how the OXI One MKII becomes both a source of evolving music and a powerful idea generator, letting users freeze, capture, and develop happy accidents into structured material. It’s a compelling look at how digital sequencing can blur the lines between composer and machine.

Modor Music NF-1k: OS002 Firmware Refines Digital Depth

LYRA

Modor Music’s NF-1k synthesizer receives its first firmware upgrade, OS002, and the focus is all about workflow.

This video, in classic Modor style, walks through these refinements with a hands-on patch-building demo. For synth nerds who care about modulation matrices and menu ergonomics, it’s a revealing look at how digital architecture can be fine-tuned for real-world playability.
