first person - Modular session 2026-08-02 live jam

video upload by Renku Corporation

"This was the second take, came out ok, maybe a little long. Both versions were about the same on time, I wanted to give it some space to develop but I'm not sure. What do you think? Also got my sweet $10 head harness going. Still working on the angle but it's a different perspective for sure. Cool or no? It's not mountain biking..."

KHÔRA - Microtonal Soundscape Synthesizer

video upload by Laboratory 0

"KHÔRA is a drone-based harmonic instrument. There are no labels - every control is a living geometric object. The ring of stars is a map of just-intonation pitches. Star size represents consonance, while color represents harmonic families. Rather than relying on theory, a keyboard, or parameter lists, KHÔRA offers a new way to explore harmonic space through interaction.

Five built-in chord generators:
Click the Seed (center-left icon) to generate a chord. Right-click to switch modes.

1. Genesis: Generates a new just-intonation chord, favoring simple, consonant intervals while always retaining the root.

2. Metabole: Preserves some common tones from the current chord while regenerating the remaining voices, balancing continuity and change.

3. Topos: Moves the entire chord through just-intonation space while preserving its internal structure, revealing more distant microtonal colors.

4. Skia (Hidden): Explores dark, modal harmony over a fixed drone, with spacious minor voicings that return to the home chord every fourth generation.

5. Helios (Hidden): The only mode based on 12-tone equal temperament (12-EDO), featuring modern color harmony with smooth bass motion and a return to the home chord every 4th generation."

Laboratory 0 also brought us MORPH-6: Algorithmic Lifeforms Synthesizer and Carousel: Five-Voice Round-Robin Polyphonic Synthesizer.

video upload by 1010music

"Learn about new blackbox 2 and how it compares to our original blackbox #sampler. The original blackbox has been a staple for music producers and live electronic performers worldwide and blackbox 2 expands upon that legacy.

Born for DAWless music creation and performance, blackbox 2 is the new professional standard for sample creation and manipulation. From #loops to #oneshots to #slicesbeatslicing and multisampled instruments—a hi-resolution touchscreen lets you record, sequence, play and mix in living color."

Taking a stand

video upload by Memetune Studio

"I've been setting up a little workspace using some really cool granular synths (Tasty Chips GS1 and Beetlecrab Tempera) and I've discovered these crazy VESA stands that you can get pretty cheap (£20). They are really designed for computer monitors and things, but they work great with desktop synths too, especially if you don't have a lot of desk space like me at the mo

I made the music in this video clip just now on the new granulars - yes!"

First Look at The Legendary J Haible TAU Phaser MK2!!

video upload by The Machines Won and Serge Modular | Random*Source

"Exploring the lush, sweeping textures of the Tau Pipe Phaser mk2 synth module. In this demo, you'll hear everything from subtle movement and vintage-style phase shifting to deep, resonant modulation that brings pads, leads, and drones to life.

Featuring a range of rate, depth, and feedback settings, this video highlights the module's rich analog-inspired character and its ability to add warmth, motion, and dimension to any patch.

Big thanks to Random*Source Serge for sending this module to demo and continuing to rethink and reimage these classic circuits!

Be on the lookout for more reels, live jams and demos. The music never stops!"

Scrapcode Modular Introcues ORAND - Passive Logic Gates Eurorack Module

via Scrapcode Modular

"This module is a set of passive logic gates – two OR gates and two AND gates.

Signals will pass through the OR gates whenever a voltage is applied to any of their Inputs.

Signals will pass through the AND gates whenever a voltage is applied to both of their Inputs at the same time.

These are both designed to be used with trigger or gate signals presented to their Inputs, but may also give interesting results when other CV (or indeed audio) is applied. Experiment to find out what works best for you!

As with all Scrapcode Modular products, Inputs are signified by silver jack nuts, while Outputs are red.

Most Outputs are normalled to the Input of another gate, as signified by the small arrows, meaning that their signal will automatically be passed on when no patch cable is inserted to the corresponding Input.

NB: Due to the passive nature of this module, there is some inevitable voltage drop as signals pass through it, and therefore other modules with particularly sensitive inputs may not register signals processed by ORAND.

For more information please see the Quickstart Guide on the Manuals and DIY Instructions page."

Scrapcode is also running a 15% off summer sale until the end of August - details on the website.

J3PO // History

video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"Julian 'J3PO' Pollack performs an original composition, "History," a live DAW-less performance recorded entirely in one take with no overdubs.

Built around a sequencer, hardware synthesizers, and an acoustic (felt) piano, "History" explores the space between composition and improvisation. Every musical decision unfolds in real time, allowing the performance to evolve naturally from a simple repeating pattern into something entirely its own.

Gear used:
• Arturia KeyStep Pro (sequencing)
• Roland TR-8S
• Oberheim Two Voice Pro
• Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave 8M
• Yamaha Acoustic Upright Piano

Effects:
• Meris Mercury 7
• Strymon Timeline
• Strymon El Capistan
