"Another test after modifications.

Only Synth Tech modules used:
MOTM-650 MIDI to CV
MOTM-300 VCO x 4
MOTM-800 EG x 4 (in only two spaces)

Actually I used a custom multiples and two Moon 526 mixers for the oscilloscope feed.

Sequencer Therapy - October 17 2023


video upload by John L Rice

"I just felt like playing with a sequence for my peace of mind. Not as good as hugging a dog, but better than nothing! 🤓😁 Klee sequencer built by Megaohm Audio is shown. Off screen the usual modules: Synth Tech MOTM-300 VCOs, MOTM-380 LFO, Moon 517 VCF, Oakley/Krisp1 VCAs, STG Envelopes, Modcan 55B quantizer and 73B delay, Club Of The Knobs C969 clock, Strymon and Lexicon reverb. #modularsynth #sequencer #electronicmusic"

The Room Outside Of Time 2


video upload by John L Rice

"A quick one I should have spent more time on, and also should NOT have spent ANY time on, but I wanted to record a bit of it for the memories! 😅

Unlike a lot of my recent complex sequencer experiments this one only uses 5 steps of a single row of one Moon 569 sequencer! The CV out is patched into a Synth Tech E102 Quad Temporal Shifter (shift register) and the 4 outputs go to 4 voices, each consisting of a MOTM-300 VCO, saw out to a Happy Nerding FM AID, to a Moon 517 VCF and finally to a Oakley Dual VCA. VCF and VCA modulation was from a Club Of The Knobs C911P poly EG and the FM AIDs and VCFs got additional modulation from a Krisp1 OCTO LFO. Effects are from the usual Strymon BigSky and Timeline pedals and Lexicon MX400 rack. I used the Roland A-88 keyboard to transpose the sequence via a MOTM-650 module and the bassy-lead was played on an Expressive E Osmose keyboard."

Paul T Schreiber of Synthtech / MOTM Retires From The Synth Business

"After 27 years, I have retired from the synthesizer business. I still have a #day_job which will last until Dec 1st. The last set of 16 modules shipped to Patchwerks in Seattle, including the last E520 Hyperions.

Is there a chance someone will buy my IP and continue the product like? I keep hoping. Thanks to everyone who were friends and customers."

---

The man behind MOTM and Synthtech/Synthesis Technology retires. Paul Schrieber was making modular synths in the MOTM 5U format before eurorack took off. He essentiall started his own format, 5U in height like Moog's MU 5U but different. See this old post for a pic of different modular formats. He made his modules available in both DIY and finished form. You all should be familiar with MOTM and Synthech if you are regulars of the site. If not, see the MOTM and Synthech labels for posts over the years.

Since the launch of this version of MATRIXSYNTH back in 2005, there have been a total of 831 MOTM posts, and roughly 367 Synthtech posts, including this one. I say roughly as there was another Synthtech that made the Chroma Cult - Rhodes Chroma MIDI Interface, that shares the Synthtech label I used to get the count. The first post to mention MOTM dates back to This EAR post on July 30, 2005, the second to MOTM Madness - Featuring Yamaha GX1 Filter clone on August 4, 2005. Sadly the mp3 linked there is gone. People let their sites go unfortunately. The first post to mention Synthtech is the Epic Son video by John L Rice from back on August 2, 2011. His designs also made it into non modular synths like this Studio Electronics Omega 8 w/ MOTM CS80 & 440 Filters.

Some Random Osmose Noodling With Simple Sequence


video upload by John L Rice

"Just messing around with my Osmose keyboard while a simple modular sequence plays. The Osmose patch was called snared and the modules for the sequence were an MOTM-300 VCO, Oakley/Krisp1 Dual VCA, and a STG Envelope. #electronicmusic #modularsynth #expressiveeosmose"

Synthesis Technology MOTM: My First Ambient Encounter (Mother Of The Modulars)


video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
I had a difficult time getting the sound into Pro Tools, so I ended up recording everything extremely quietly with a number of clicks, which I tried to eliminate in RX after recording. Aside from that, I added some more processing to make the ambient drone experience more pleasant. I'll try to record it with more attention and comprehension the next time. Otherwise, for the actual patch, I just used everything this system had to give, and surprisingly the synth stayed in tune because the room I was working in was 53 degrees Fahrenheit, and I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible after getting one take done. Till next time!

Loud Ripping Modular Synthesizer Lead Patch


video upload by John L Rice

"Turn It UP! 😁

Noisebug store in Pomona CA made a nice trade with me for some gear so I picked up a second Synthetic Soundlabs Tube VCA to do stereo patches with them, something I’ve wanted to try ever since I got the first one! The patch is pretty simple, just a MIDI keyboard into a Synthesis Technology MOTM-650 interface to create CV and gate voltages, a Noise Engineering Cursus Iteritas Magnus VCO's audio output mult’d into the two SSL Tube VCAs, the separate outputs of a single STG Soundlabs Envelope Generator in 'Pyramid Blaster' mode modulated the Tube VCAs, and three outputs of a Marienberg Devices Sine Phase VCO is modulating the Cursus VCO via a couple Synthesizers.com Q125 signal processors."

"Functions well

Received this in trade and do not have the finished module, so I'm unsure how close this is to the final model, appears on the surface to have one less input of modulation and a simpler display.

Currently behind a 19" metal panel to allow for standard rackmounting but could be easily adapted to a custom case. Connects via an included header adapter to standard Eurorack power"

Modular Wall Sounds Symphonic?


video upload by John L Rice

"I was working on this patch and was going to possibly do a longer video for it but my MOTM-650 MIDI to CV module died unexpectedly (it was in that now empty slot) so I just recorded a quick bit of the patch before go eat a bunch of food to drown my sorrows . . . 😑 #shorts #modularsynth #electronicmusic"

M.U.A.D. - Improv 14 - Live at Berkeley Bobs Coffee Shop 1/14/2022

"The Modular Units of the Analog Domain (M.U.A.D.) performed live at Berkeley Bob's Coffee Shop in Cullman AL 1/14/2022. We finished our show and the audience requested an encore. This is the completely unrehearsed, ad hoc, on the spot, ( you catch the drift ) improvisation.

Renaissance Music on Synthesizer


video upload by Elhardt

"This is old stuff I did back in 2004. All sounds synthesized and performed on the Synthesis Technology modular synthesizer. They are various short pieces from a book of German keyboard music, if I remember correctly. I'll be in the process of making Youtube videos of my older synth work over the next several months so that more people can hear them."
