Exploring Modular Synths 9 - Explanation of Patch and Performance of Modular Expeditions 22

Published on Jul 8, 2016

"This video explains a somewhat involved patch used in the piece "Modular Expeditions 22" which is available as a separate video without explanation and with better audio quality. If you haven't seen that, you can go watch that first. In this video, after the explanation of the patch, the piece is played through as a shorter version than the other video. This piece is built around a sequence in the Rene that goes out to the Dixie, the Intellijel Shapeshifter, and Braids. Drums from the Ladik Twin Drums module and hi-hats from noise from a Mother 32 accompany. The piece begins and ends with pads from Pressure Points into two Wiard Anti-oscillators and into a 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator complement the piece, played into Clouds. Echophon is used for some DJ-like wiggling effects at times."

1980 KORG TRIDENT MK I SN 330047

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

via this auction

"This example, serial number 330047 has been fully serviced and is entirely studio-ready. It is currently missing the joytstick top, however, it is otherwise complete. Quite rare, this is a fantastic sounding synth. The Trident is a polyphonic and programmable keyboard with three independent sections - Synthesizer, Brass, and Strings. It features 8 voices of polyphony and two of the instrument sections can be played simultaneously while in Split Keyboard mode.

Each section has its own unique VCO voice architecture, VCF (filter) types, and LFO capabilities. The Brass section's VCF and Envelope Generators are virtually the same as the Synthesizer section, allowing the Brass section to be used for generating additional synth-y sounds as well as faux-brass sounds. The String section has some unique features as well such as a "Bowing" effect. Another unique effect included is a global flanger that can self-oscillate! Flanger controls include Speed, Feedback, Intensity and Manual.

The Trident also features 16 user memory patches. In addition there are three preset memory patches for Piano 1, Piano 2 and Clavi. There is no way of externally playing the Trident with MIDI or CV/Gate without modifications (CV/Gate only controls expression and filter parameters). But the CV/Gate inputs are discrete for each of the three sections. There are also discrete mono outputs for each section and a mix output."

Polivoks LFO MOD


Published on Jul 8, 2016 The Outsider

"The Polivoks is hands down my favorite analog monosynth, even with its eccentricities and laughably horrible keyboard. One of the things that I thought really needed improvement was the LFO, specifically the LFO speed. As you'll see in the video, even at minimum the speed is quite fast. Thanks to my friend Egor, I was able to slow it down considerably by swapping out capacitor 7 on the LFO board with a higher value component. From the factory, C7 is 10uf. I tried out a 100uf cap and got the results shown in the video. Ideally, I should replace the LFO pot as well, as the right combination would give very slow minimum and very fast maximum LFO speeds, but I don't really feel like spending a ton of time trial & error parts matching... This quick fix is good enough for now."

"ADX-1_Analog_Drum_Machine_Modemachines (7)ANALOG DRUM MACHINE

Mode Machines brought again the ADX 1, a powerful 5 channel Analogue Drum Expander with individual outputs, MIDI control and infinite amount of sound tones thanks to its generous amount of knobs to control its parameters.
The 5 Channels provide different sound palettes.

Metal: Metal is used to create cymbal sounds and consists of two different metallic-sounding Generators. Two filters, Envelope/modulation options, Decay and Release.

HiHat: HiHat consists of one metallic-sounding noise generator and one “clean” signal, Pitch control, mix, modulation, filter, Envelope modulation, Decay and Release.

Snare: The sound of Snare is created by one metallic-sounding noise generator through two band pass filters connected in parallel, Decay and Release.

Synth: Is used to create sounds like bells or synthesizers and consists of 3 sinus Oscillators. FM and Bend for a wide palette of sounds, Attack and Release.

Bass: Consists of one sinus oscillator, with pitch control. Additional Overtones can be created by frequency modulation. Attack simulates the 'Pluck' of a bass string, Release to control the length and Distortion available for dirtier sounds."

"It is in MINT like new shape, barely ever used it. Still has protective plastic over the screen. Includes two of the famous MOS 8580 SID chips. 100% fully functional. Sounds awesome but I have decided to let go of some synths since I don't have much time for the studio these days. It includes power supply. This is an amazing chiptune style synth, and in my opinion sounds better with more option controls than the Elektron Sidstation. Hard to find one in such nice shape. Note: Sid synths do have background hums / tones / notes on some patches, this is completely normal and due to the nature of the sid chips. Power supply works worldwide but has 2-prong USA style plug. Don't miss out!"

Patch Notes #3 - Karplus Strong with Mutable Warps Parasite


Published on Jul 8, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Here's a patch using the Karplus Strong string synthesis patch with the Mutable Instruments Warps Parasite firmware delay modes, based on our most recent Eurorack modular synth tutorial.

Braids is routed through one channel on the Optomix, where it is modulated by an envelope from the ADLFO triggered by Euclidean Rhythms from the Ornament and Crime. The attenuated signal is then sent to Warps to excite the delay. The Karplus tone is being excited using the chord based wavetable mode in Braids rather than a noise source as we heard in the tutorial.

Warps is then routed through another channel on Optomix and then out to a mixer. The VCA is being opened by a channel on Maths, tweaking the decay time throughout.

The kick drum is coming from the Basimilus Iteritas, pitch modulated with an envelope from Maths to give it some punch. Hihat is a noise based signal based in the Scooper. All signals are being rhythmically triggered via the Ornament and Crime, which is in turn being clocked from Tempi. Pressure Points and Brains are used to modulate Euclidean Fill amounts on the three voices.

Tempi also clocking the Wogglebug and X-clock on René, with the Wogglebug stepped random out routed to the Y-CV input. The chaos knob is increased throughout to add some random shifting to the René pattern, which is modulating the delay time on Warps, creating the melodic sequence.

Modular Jam 56 "Rubber Band"


Published on Jul 8, 2016 ngarjuna

"Patch Notes:
Band Pass Lead Patches
Sequencer 1 driving Rubicon
SIGMOID out to Polaris BPF
2 variations: 'clean' is fully driven with distortion off; 'dirty' is not as clipped but distortion is turned on
Modulated by Rene UNQ and PEG-ADSR-Maths (cycling quickly) via Maths SUM
MULTI out to uVCA enveloped by ADSR
Modulation sources are identical between the 'clean' and 'dirty' variants with small adjustments to CUTOFF/CV, RESO and DRIVE as needed
At the very end I left an A-B-A-B between clean and dirty (clean @ 5:10 & 5:41 , dirty @ 5:26 & 5:56)
All distortion on the bandpass lead is from Polaris itself

Korg gadget track 12 with NanoKontrol studio

iTunes: KORG Gadget - KORG INC.

"Using the Nanokontrol studio to control the gadget mixer.

HOW I ARRANGE: After I've created a loop that I like I just launch/mute tracks and tweak parameters rather than consciously lay everything out. This way the whole process stays fun which for me is the key. I may do a more detailed tutorial on this.

With all the gear options out there I also like sticking with one program and Korg gadget is perfect for what I want to do. If you don't know what it is here is my own overview:

"Just messing around with some simple rhythms this afternoon, decided to make a quick video. 2 percussive voices and a little bit of bass from the Make Noise system. Twisted sax lead and sub bass off the Electribe. Still getting to know the RYTM at this point. Playing around with trig probability in its programming. Nothing too crazy, but thought it was worth catching...

Exploring Modular Synths 8 - Using the Echophon as an Oscillator


Published on Jul 7, 2016 Modular Landing

"Almost anything in your modular synth, it seems, can be used as an oscillator or sound source. In this very simple video, the Echophon is used as an oscillator by capturing some inputted audio with the freeze button. It is sped up to audio rate, and then CV comes in via the pitch input to play that frozen audio."
