Published on Jan 6, 2015 MIDERA

"Decided to test out the Phaedra iPad sequencer with my Gameboy advance
Spritesmod.com MIDI device (which creates the sound in the GBA). Also
used the Eventide Space (you'll hear it).

Just a demo, nothing spectacular in the song."

Synthrotek APC Modular Techno Jam



"Running my Synthrotek Atari Punk Console module through its paces. Filter is the TipTop Z2040, sequenced by the Turing Machine and a bit of Maths. The setup for this jam was very simple. The APC is running into a Tip Top Z2040 filter and is being sequenced by a Turing Machine Voltages expansion as well as a Make Noise Maths. Drum sounds come from the Mutable Instruments Peaks module. Here's to a new year of new sounds!"

Verbos Harmonic / Complex Oscillators - Simple Demos


Published on Jan 6, 2015 stickmann

"Trying to keep things a little more simple in this demo and show off the mixing / switching sounds of the Harmonic Oscillator. Width, Center, and Spectral Tilt inputs are modulated by Pressure Points and a Malekko Noisering.

First two sections are dry recordings, the third section has Erbeverb on the sustained notes coming from the Complex Oscillator."

"Tribute to the Formanta Radio Factory in Kachkanar, USSR."

I thought I posted this one before with the rest of dergach11's videos, but I'm not finding it, so here it is. There are some harsh tones in this one so be careful with volume levels as always, and especially with headphones. Spotted this onevia this auction

Pics below from that listing. You'll find some details on the synth in a previous post here.

"Formanta ems-01 is most unusual sounding synth among the soviet made synthesizers. Its modulation possibilities are infinite, raw analog sound is absolutely unique, and it looks like peace of rock."

Catgirl Synth CGS07 Gate Sequencer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"CGS07 Gate Sequencer module in MOTM format. Four channels by 2-8 Steps (step number selected by front panel rotary switch. Small flaw on front panel from when the corner of another module gouged the faceplate (see pictures). Recently re-wired. Fully tested 100% working condition.

Here is some additional info from Ken Stone's (Catgirl Synth) Modular Synthesizer website...

"By itself, the main board of the gate sequencer can be used as a sequential pulse generator. When clocked by an external source, each of its outputs will come on one after the other. This can be used to sequentially trigger up to eight events. An example would be to set the number of steps to 2, then connect outputs 1 and 2 to two drum sound generators. A pulse train fed to the clock input would then produce a drum roll alternating between the two drum sounds.

When coupled with the switch bank and buffer boards, rhythms of up to eight steps can be created. Each switch bank and buffer board contains two channels. Additional switch bank and buffer boards can be connected to main board to produce gate sequencers with more channels. While these outputs can be used to trigger drum sounds, that is not their only use. They can be used to trigger envelope generators, step waves in wave tables, drive other sequencers etc. Once you have a gate sequencer in your modular, you will wonder how you ever survived without it."

DXi - the FM synthesizer for iPhone/iPad


Published on Jan 6, 2015 Alexandr Shursoma

"DXi is a FM synthesizer application inspired by 80's most popular FM synthesizer. You will enjoy creating sounds as well as playing music with this application.

FM synthesizer is still popular among many people by its unique tone. We carefully selected parameters from original synthesizer so you will be enjoy editing tone with them easily. You need to know some technique to tweak the tone, but you will be able to get DXi's special tone and effects while having some fun!

Modular Synth Live Performance: "The Cartel" (@obrienmedia)


Published on Jan 6, 2015 Patrick OBrien

"I'm still fairly new to modular synthesis (5 months into it), and this is my first full song performing live. No computers used. No editing.

Audio recorded straight into to a GoPro Hero 4 (using 3.5mm Mic Adapter). It was hard to get the right mix since the GoPro has built in compression I can't control. It's not an ideal device for recording audio, but I wanted to capture audio with the live performance.

The main modules used here:
-Kick is Mutable Instruments Peaks
-Snare is Noise Engineering's Basimilus Iteritas
-Hats are from the Noisering filtered by Mutable Instrument's Ripples

The most difficult task: working with the Pittsburgh VILFO as my clock source at a very slow 4 BPM! Made the hats glitchy in previous recording attempts, but this one finally worked out nicely.

The oscillators used:
-Mutable Instruments Braids
-Pittsburgh Oscillator
-The Harvestman's Hertz Donut MK2.

Synthesizer is Dave Smith Instrument's Mopho.

Pics of the inside below.

"1981 Rev 2 Sequential Circuits Prophet-5. This is the early revision which features the SSM oscillators, filters and envelope generators. SCI switched the design to Curtis because SSM could not supply their need. Many Prophet-5 fans will tell you that the SSM filters are more interesting than the CEM filters. This synth sounds great and is in great condition. The factory patches have been loaded and it has been recently serviced. All switches, pots and LEDs work as expected. The keyboard buss bar and j-wires were cleaned after the new bushings were installed. The keyboard plays very well. The metal nameplates are in good shape on the front and back, the plate under the control panel was replaced with a new one.
upgrades and service

New rubber keyboard bushings
