Joranalogue and Friends / ODESSA chords / DISCRETE MAP sequence / CYCLE 5 bass

video upload by BRiES

"Apart from the bass (CYCLE 5) I'm not using any Joranalogue modules for sound generation... but all of the modulation, a lot of the sequencing and triggers are made with, processed by or routed through the Joranalogue modules. They truly are kings of utility (and more). I think it's fair to mention that I used quite a bunch of Schlappi modules for the transposition of the chords as well as Discrete Map by New Systems Instruments for the sequencing of the root of the chord as well as the main clock of the patch."

Still the Tonverk. And an external FX pedal

video upload by keinseier

"Still in love with the Tonverk. Still learning it - added the Solis Ventus here for some infamous shimmer in the latter half. Also - added a little preview at the beginning of the vid. Good thing? Nah?"

Exploring the Chromaplane: Live Improv, Tuning Screws, & External Drones

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"A live, fully improvised performance exploring the unique architecture of the Koma Elektronik Chromaplane. This session is a deeper dive into the instrument's hands-on playability—including on-the-fly tuning—and external input processing.

On-screen captions are included in the first half to break down the basics of the instrument and explain exactly what is happening under the hood.

Performance Breakdown:
• The Core: Sound generation starts with the Chromaplane, interacting directly with its electromagnetic fields.
• On-The-Fly Tuning: Watch as I use the tuning screws mid-performance to shift pitches and reshape the harmonic foundation in real-time.
• The Expansion: In the final act, things get heavier as I introduce an external input—the gritty, texture-rich Triad drone/noise synth by DecadeBridge.
• The Space: The entire mix is processed through the Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station to pull the mono signal into an immersive, wide stereo space.

The performance was recorded live, then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.

...basically the big knob does granular stretching on uploaded samples, much fun to be had."

How EXTREME can the PWM MANTIS sound?

video upload by Tonepusher

"In this video, I’m asking a simple question: how extreme can the PWM MANTIS actually sound when you push it beyond its usual vintage-style sounds? We’ll explore its aggressive side using features like density, ring modulation, drive, and its OSCAR-style dual-filter architecture to see how far it can go into dark industrial and EBM territory. Then I put everything I designed to the test and push the MANTIS to its absolute limit.

How EXTREME can the PWM MANTIS sound?"

Sherman filterbank messing up a sample loop

"Triggering Sherman via midi.
Then wailing on it .
Cranky machine it is"

303-BISCUIT (Roland TB-303, OTO-Biscuit)

video upload by Acid Gray

"Never tried the OTO-Biscuit on the Roland TB-303.

Probably nothing for everybody's taste, but I really like it a lot:
Somewhere between crunchy Lo-Fi sounds and distortion.
Combined with the analog filter, it adds so much more versatility to a 303.

For me Biscuit is one my favorite FX of all time - something I didn't even know that it exists.

It's a gear demo - not a regular acid track ;-)

Recorded in a single take on 1010-BlueBox (delay and reverb added here)."

909 loop chewed up by Glowing Orb analogue state variable filter

video upload by WORNG Electronics

"Running a simple 909 loop through the WORNG Electronics Glowing Orb state variable filter to crunch it up and give it some flavour. An envelope generator triggered in time with the beat is patched to the FM CV input, then parameters are tweaked by hand to drive the signal and add colour and character with the Glowing Orb filters. No external audio processing is added, just raw audio from the filter through a SideCar VCA."
