Memories | Roland JX3P and Fractal Audio FM3 nostalgic instrumental

video upload by MIDERA

"So, I sold my JX3P, my amazing condition JX3P, because I had the System 8 and the Jupiter 6. Fast track to now, a friend sells me a beat up JX3P and I think "I'll test it out again..." And man what a synth. The System 8 really doesn't do it justice. I can't believe I kept the JP6 over the JX3P, which sounds far better than the JP6 or System 8. What a bummer. Now, just like the D-50, I sold a mint condition one, and ended up with a junker :/ Sigh... well, the Jupiter 6 is gone (couldn't be more glad to be honest), and I'm eyeing the System 8...

Fractal Audio FM3 used for FX.

Audio Mangling Modulator/Demodulator

This module is a modulator/demodulator. The top four knobs interact with each other to take a signal and mangle it beyond all recognition, or if you're patient and lucky, let the signal come through mostly unchanged.

What is going on there? you ask. The input is used to frequency-modulate a VCO that can oscillate beyond anybody's hearing range. The resulting (possibly ultrasonic) signal frequency-modulates a second identical VCO. This leads to the kind of signal degradation you might expect from an AM radio transmission. Or a short wave signal fighting its way through a hurricane.

The rest of the knobs control filtering; high-pass to remove the truly ground-shaking rumbles the top for knobs can generate, and resonant low-pass to get the harsh high pitches out of the signal, and emphasize (for example) the frequency range of human speech, if you want to pass old movie dialogue through this.

Also included are a wet/dry control (while prototyping this module I would sometimes spend minutes looking for the perfect knob settings to allow a signal through just to realize the signal source had stopped playing), a CV input for the low-pass filter with an attenuator knob, and a effect volume knob.

Some fun things to try:

with zero input, try to get a modem sound!
connect a simple waveform and massage the top four knobs to fold the wave in surprising ways
David Lynch. Put David Lynch through this.
turn the resonance of the low-pass VCF up and use this as a VCO (not 1V/oct, I'm afraid
Turn both "Carrier" knobs all the way down, so the VCOs are stalled, and listen to the signal bash its way through

Playing the Prophet through the most beautiful delay

video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"I am borrowing the Knif Audio BBD and it's truly the holy grail of bucket brigade delay units. There are only a handful of them in existence, and I'm lucky to get to use it in my studio for a while. The Prophet 10 was an obvious choice to pair with the Knif BBD. I've been getting to know the Knif BBD and decided to record a 10-minute improvisation for you to be able to hear how beautiful these sounds are. Hope you enjoy. Endless inspiration with these two instruments. They are not only beautiful sounding, but beautiful looking and feeling as well."

Gear used in this video:
• Prophet 10
• Knif Audio BBD

Web Based Online Editor for the Original Nord Modular

video upload by Peter van der Noord

"A short update on the browser based Nord Modular Editor that I am currently working on as a fun hobby project."

Additional details via https://nordmodulareditor.com where you can try it out yourself if you own an original Nord Modular:

"Nord Modular G1 Editor

Create, edit and (soon) share your Nord Modular patches with the community.

Some quick remarks:

This is still a very early version. A lot of things don't work or don't work correctly yet.
You should be able to edit patches, browse slots, add modules and cables, adjust parameters and load patches into a slot.
You probably want to run this in the Chrome browser, i haven't tested others.
I have only tested this with a Nord Modular Keys for now, I assume the Rack version will work the same but I don't know about the Micro. I assumed it would work the same but it appears that some people have issues getting it to connect.
Parameter values are often shown as their raw 0–127 values.
None of the displays work yet.
When something is wrong, updates don't come through, or communication seems to be stuck: refresh the page.
When using a trackpad, you probably want to use "scroll to pan" navigation. You can select this in the settings.
To add a module, drag it from the toolbar on top.
To delete a module or cable, select it and hit delete.
The tab key in the editor will toggle rendering cables behind or in front of the modules.
If you were following my personal YouTube channel for updates, please follow my other channel instead.
Feedback is much appreciated, but I don't have a proper way to do that yet.
This is a personal hobby project. I am not affiliated with or connected to Nord in any way.

Using Step 8 with Nibbler and Maths to generate rhythms

video upload by Peter Plugs Patches

"Using patterns from the Schlappi Nibbler to control the current stage of the Joranalogue Step 8, with the Make Noise Math attenuating and offsetting the cv signal to create variations. Sounds are coming from Quad Drum, SSF Entity Ultraperc, Mutable Instruments Plaits, Winter Modular Zaps and Basimilus Iteritas Alter.

NRSynth Quatuor Polyphonic sounds

"Some exemples of the polyphonic mode (typical 'Oberheim' flavour).

WARNING: i'm not a musician, don't expect a 'killer' playing...

Long resonant filter sweep.
Brass jumpy style
Polysynth saw
Another thing with resonance!

As usual, no traitement except delay/reverb in Cubase."

Patch Memory #5: Micromonsta 2: one synth voice as a complete drum kit

video upload by djr brunstein

"Using one voice of an Audiothingies Micromonsta 2 to build a pseudo drum voice. Sorry for the vaguely rage-baity thumbnail - obviously this synth won't replace any of those drum machines but a man has to find his clicks somewhere!

In the video I say that the synth is in stock- unfortunately it went out of stock whilst I was editing. You can sign up to the waitlist here: https://www.audiothingies.com/"
