"Hi folks!

This performance explores both sides of the #chromagene @genesynths : its bright, shimmering textures and its deep, haunting drones. The sound slowly evolves between light and darkness, creating an immersive cinematic ambient journey.

Everything you hear was performed live in a single take with no overdubs and no audio post-production. No edits, no additional layers, no mastering tricks—just the instrument and the performance as it happened.

If you enjoy dark ambient, experimental electronics, drones, and evolving soundscapes, I hope you’ll enjoy this session.

◉ Performed live in one take
✦ No overdubs
⟡ No audio post-production
🌑 Dark Ambient • Drone • Experimental • Cinematic

"I set out to accomplish a different goal which I mostly did but then damn, the OB-X8 is so solid and gorgeous. It took me down a different path so now great, I have to follow up on this idea too. My god, this synth sounds bigger than a dump truck full of your favorite dreams"

MORPH-6: Algorithmic Lifeforms Synthesizer (First Explorations)

video upload by Laboratory 0

"Six observed entities share the same communication protocol, yet exhibit entirely different behaviors. The same signal manifests as a different physical reality within each: some proliferate like concrete, forming vast resonant structures; others retain an untamed, primordial roar; others persist as translucent organisms of granules, metal, rubber, and glass, sustained through endless cycles of fracture and reassembly.

The windows are not control panels, but communication terminals. What you see are not parameters, but cross-sections left behind as another consciousness passes through the medium. No label can faithfully translate them. Each algorithm is another point of contact with a different lifeform.

Or perhaps they have simply chosen to borrow our world as a place to be heard.

"36 channel voltage controlled comb filter aka string filter.

This module has some history. In 2018, I was part of a team putting on a show with CellF at the Todays Art festival in Den Haag. I popped down to Rotterdam to visit Dennis (aka Mono-Poly) and his studio of vintage lab gear. Dennis had an incredible patch going centred around a Bruel & Kjaer 36 channel Spectrum Shaper. Listen to his album Testlab to hear how it sounds. I just knew I had to make something like it one day. This type of filter is often called a ‘String filter’, used to emulate stringed instruments tho don’t feel limited by that.

Fast forward to 2026, I read an AES paper by R. Burhans describing his 36 channel comb filter. It reminded me there were some designs in Electronotes, so I looked them up and discovered they were both inspired by and heavily influenced by Burhans, particularly in terms of the comb filter frequencies and spacing. One was a 40 channel version by Ian Fritz using transistor based filters. He had an interesting mod, originally suggested by Lester Ludwig, where each set of 6 filters had a feedback pot. Some screenshots from these articles are at the end of this build guide. The relevant Electronotes issues 107, 115 and 116 can be found online.

The Bernie Hutchins design used 39 regular op amp based filters, along with Ian’s feedback per 6 filters mod and added an inverter so the feedback could be positive or negative (so, centre off). Negative feedback ‘flattens’ the peaks somewhat and smears the sound, positive feedback makes the peaks narrower and higher (if tuned for it, you can make them self-oscillate, see notes). Bernie also added a noise gate on the output, summing 39 channels is always going to be noisy.
