Walrus Meraki / Strymon Brig / UA starlight comparison (Real analog vs emulated delays)
video upload by Yuki The Synth Dragon
"I compare some delays using the Take 5 from Sequential as my synth of choice. I had to re-upload, the original video had a panning issue on the audio as I forgot to hard pan the left channel."
DRONE MUSIC PIECE - TAPE RECORDER / GUITAR AND MODULAR SYNTH
video upload by A Last Picture From Voyager
"This long drone music piece is my contribution to the 'asynchronous drone orchestra' back in May 2023 for the Drone Day, a remote collaborative project for which @chelidonframe asked nine different electronic musicians to share a 10 or more minutes sound, be it a drone, a field recording, or a more elaborate sound: those noises have been then mixed and combined resulting in a choral soundscape. I was managing my datas and I found back the video I made for this piece. I thought it would be good to share it..."

Nonlinearcircuits VCO Demo
video upload by Randy Piscione
"This is a demo of an older Nonlinearcircuits VCO, based on a Mikulic/Electronotes core with phase sync and pan-pulse circuitry from the Aries AR-338.
The video starts with a sequence, and scope shots of four of the five waveforms the VCO puts out. I didn’t bother with the triangle, but there is a pulse, then saw, then pan pulse and processed saw. These are eventually blended together, and then the left side VCO is faded in. This one is hard synced to another VCO. The equipment list is at the bottom of the description.
The PCB is not designed for Eurorack so I built a dual version to fit them behind a double panel. I originally built it in 2015, made a new panel in 2018, and it stopped working shortly after that. Each VCO required 50 hookups, so 100 wires, 200 solder joints. Ouch!
When it failed, for no apparent reason, I removed all of the point-to-point wiring, couldn’t figure out what happened, and put it aside for quite a few years. If only I had known then what I know now, the failure was a simple IC problem. I had purchased TL074s from eBay that turned out to be pirate versions. It would’ve been a one minute fix. I decided to tackle it again recently, and re-soldered all of the wires. Unfortunately, I used crap wire, so off those came, and I did it again! Still had some issues but with substantial help from John at PM Foundations, we were able to bring it back to life.

I think that’s it."

4/26/24 (UP) Chopin’s “Nocturne Op. 9, no. 2” + Akai ME20A + Roland Jupiter 6 & RE-301 + Midiverb II
video upload by Cfpp0
"The Roland Jupiter 6 is in UNISON mode. YLF plays the left hand of Frédéric Chopin’s “Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, no. 2” as chords into the ME20A, with the playback pattern set to UP, which results in a recognizable arpeggio.

"Fully functional Korg Delta, fun and easy to use synth that nails many classic sounds. Recently serviced and calibrated. The power transformer has been swapped from 100V (Japan) to a 120VAC unit for normal North America operation. Power supply fully recapped, noise free unit with lots of vibe! Works and sounds like it should. No issues.
Korg's Delta is an analog semi-poly synth/string machine, basically a slimmed down version of the Korg. Though limited in the range of sounds compared with other synths of the same genre, the sheer quality of the sound from this little beastie really does make it something of a marvel. Amazing retro synth strings and fat bass synth tones.
The synth is split into two sections, Strings and Synth, for which there are separate audio outputs along with a combined output for headphones or mixing. Each section has its own controls. The String section has two pitch sliders (16' and 8') along with two tone controls (Bass and Treble) and variable Attack and Release controls to modify the sound. The Synth section has four pitch sliders (16', 8', 4' and 2'). There is also a white noise generator along with a very effective 24dB/oct low pass filter (high pass and band pass options are included too) and full ADSR controls. The synth has no memory storage or MIDI, however it does has voltage control and gate ins and outs.
The string sounds are very basic but with its separate outputs and when mixed together with the polysynth you do get that classic 'layered' sound which is useful enough on this synth; and it's fully polyphonic, so you wont be running out of notes! There is a handy joystick to the left of the 49-note keyboard for pitch bending and modulation capabilities. The construction is solid and heavy partly due to the implementation of a wooden base but also because it was designed for heavy usage on the road. Added bonuses: noise modulation, stereo out (strings/synth split), and the ability to combine synth and strings or turn off oscillators in the mixer section."
