this will definitely be happening, easily one of my favourite soft-synths, synths full stop really. too many things, not enough time. too many things, not enough time.
after I subtracted Blyth with an adder@johnnydodgem.bsky.social · last wk.I'd be interested in an emptyvessel Zebra 3 preset pack.
I did forget to mention that @tal-software.com is also discounting TAL Sampler by 15% currently so if you like the sound of Mora but don't have the gears to play it on, maybe it's time to fix that? tal-software.com/products/tal...

Lovely review of this release I was a part of, my remix closes out the album. // "Cole’s closing interpretation is perhaps the most surreal, stripping the machinery back until its strange, transparent details become increasingly exposed." 🙏🩵 // Hit me up for a code if you want one.

I already have Zebra 3 but: pretty sweet deal from @bitwig.bsky.social if you've been putting off renewing the upgrade plan. All the fun of the new features in 6 and 6.1 (Sampler got lots of new goodies) plus the superb Zebra Legacy from @uheplugins.bsky.social
Seem to have settled into waking up round 5am for some reason the past couple of months (no alarm). Fought it for a while then just gave in and started getting up. Often getting 2-3 hours of good creative work done before 9 so maybe it's a magic hack? Brains are weird. Mine especially.
I can't quite be bothered to process the photo to lean into the concept nor set a self-timer and go and stand in the right spot but... when you're out walking and realise you wandered into a Tarkovksy movie...
Added a third, more orchestral ambient demo to the playlist for my upcoming sample/preset pack Mora for @tal-software.com Sampler (and a few other platforms to come). Nearing the finish line with this so it shouldn't be too long. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

did something that wasn't on my todotoday list so I added it so I could tick it off. I think that's fine. it's fine.
I miss the days when you could release an album and not feel like you needed to compose a novel describing the whole process and what you were feeling. It left more space for the listener to interpret what they were hearing from their own experiences. Old guy rant over
there are a few of these types of things but there are some really useful features here I've not seen elsewhere. Of course I might have just not seen them, I'm not always very observant. I also forget things so maybe I did see them then forgot. This one is good though.

back in the early days of emptyvessel I actually used to write for Sonicstate a bit, here's my hands-on review of the Kiwitechnics modded Juno 106. I stopped doing it after getting sick of the number of utter assholes in the comments section. sonicstate.com/news/2014/04...

I wonder if the bot sending the emails from the DONOTREPLY@ email addresses gets overwhelmingly sad that it never hears back from any of the people it writes to. 😢
Worm POV cam! Part of my ‘Songs Of Soil’ mini film to go with the album, filmed in my compost bin by. Imagine these lovely beasts writhing and thrashing around on a contact mic. Well, it happened and I made an album from those recordings… quietdetails.bandcamp.com/album/songs-...
Snow!! No idea why but snow always makes me feel like an excited kid. Happy snow day everyone.

Great to see some positive news coming from Native Instruments! synthanatomy.com/2026/07/is-n...
Is Native Instruments Reaktor 7 with VST export in the pipeline?
Apparently, Native Instruments is working on a major Reaktor update (maybe version 7) with an option to export ensembles to VST.

I don't know why my phone chews these up so much but good morning.
I have been VERY busy over on my Patreon as of late! I just did a massive walkthrough guide on how all of my live setup case is wired up and how everything interacts. There’s loads of info on the pedals, synths and MIDI controller I use and even a couple of ‘state-of-the-art’ diagrams I made too…
Things I worked on recently and something new that's not too far off: MR3 - sample based drum machine from 10 Phantom Rooms. Memorymoog - classic emulation from Arturia Drone Explorations - Pigments expansion from Arturia which...explores the concept of drones. Mora - my new pack for TAL Sampler
