Creating Random Gates from noise!
video upload by George B.
"Q110 Noise generator into the Q117 Sample and Hold. Output of S&H to the Q156 Comparator.
The Sample and Hold is clocked by the Sequencer (Q960) clock output. Both Noise output level and Sample and Hold input levels are all the way up for maximum dynamic range. The output of the Sample and Hold is going into an envelope generator controlling a second voice. Adjusting the Threshold on the Comparator will control the density of random gates. The gates will always hit on the beat.
Since I'm triggering a second voice with this random gate, the pitch is controller by the Q960's second row. In the ending section, the random gated voice is being panned by the Q148 Panner/headphone module driven from the LFO++ Q167 creating a stereo effect.
Effects are Reverb from the DAW."

Modular Panning with Sequencer and LFO
video upload by George B.
"Use promo code BENTON10 for a 10% discount code. This is limited to one time use per customer and capped at $500.00. So if you spend 5k you get $500 off. If you spend 6k they get $500 off. There is no minimum purchase amount - get what you need - but it makes sense to make your one time purchase with code BENTON10 count.
Using a sequencer row as a control voltage to control panning. Also panning with an LFO. Adding two pan channels, LFO driven and Sequencer driven makes a beautiful stereo effect.
Modules used
Voice one - 2) Q106 Oscillators, Q107a Filter, Q109a ADSR, Q960 Sequencer
Voice two - Q106a Oscillator, Q107a Filter Q109a ADSR, Q119a Sequencer, Q173 Gate Math
Voice three - 2) Q106 Osc, Q107a Filter, Q157 S&H++ for LFO (Bass Drone)
Q156 Comparator used for LFO in panning.
Q148 and Q158 both for panning."

Do You Suffer From SSSS? (Sticky Sequencer Switch Syndrome)
video upload by John L Rice
"Several brands of modular synths, including Moog, Synthesizers.com, Moon Modular, Club Of The Knobs, Mos-Lab, Synth-Werk, etc. use a particular style of momentary push button switch in their sequencer modules that can sometimes bind and stick, which is annoying to unacceptable. I don’t know if all of these switches are made by the Switchcraft company or some are knockoffs? Anyways, this video shows how bad the switches can sometimes be and shows some possible solutions."

Modular Synthesizer - Wyatt Nash (Campbell Hall).
video upload by CHWorldMusic
"Wyatt Nash (’24) premiered the school's modular synthesizer with a performance of his patch from his Recording Arts & Production III (Mr. Bruns) project in High School Chapel on Mon. Feb. 2024. The ‘synth’ is also part of the school STEAM exhibition in the Art Gallery."
2/5/24 (atmospheric river range combinations) ElectroComp EML 200 (x2) + Langevin Filter + CXM 1978
video upload by Cfpp0
"Two ElectroComp EML 200 synthesizers are cross-patched, and their master oscillator ranges are adjusted, which affects both samplers, the envelopes, etc. The bottom EML 200 runs through a passive Langevin filter, panned left, high passing. The Chase Bliss & Meris CXM 1978 is set to a delayed reverb, with the reverb increased towards the end. Also used a Synthesizers.com Q124 mult."
The Eternal Now
video upload by davidryle
"American Format (5U) modular synthesizer performance in real time to a stereo track in Cubase.
For an atonal wash I used the Dove Audio Waveplane and WTF vco's through an Oakley Sound Systems Ring Modulator. I then sent it through A dotcom Q150 transistor ladder filter and a Lower West Side Studio Multimode Filter/Resonator and on to a fixed filter bank and a Frequency Central Stasis Leak digital delay. This drone wash comes in at the final section and ending.
The opening reed sound and accompanying organ sounds were derived from the Synthetic Sound Labs/Mutable Instruments (Braids) Woven Spirits module.
The initial reed sound is from the AUX output of the Woven Spirits through an SSL/Ian Fritz 5 Pulser and Oakley Sound Systems State Variable Filter. The filter is stepped with a random S&H from JNP Electronics.
The secondary organ chord sound is the Main direct output of the Woven Spirits in Chord mode. The combination of both elements are sent to an Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon in DMM mode. Feedback is applied as needed for the drone sustain throughout the piece.
The bass line comes in next with a pair of STG Soundlabs Oscillators through a Dove Audio D502 Multimode filter in -24dB LP mode. The pitch voltage is from the upper Q960 step sequencer. It's timing is from a Catgirl Synth Master Divider, clocked from a custom Dual LFO/Analog Shift Register of Ken Stone (Catgirl Synth) design. An additional tap from the STG oscillator through a Corsynth C103 Frequency Divider/Multiplier module for a sub-octave feed.
The melodic line blended into the latter section is from a pair of Q106 dotcom vco's which are pitch controlled by the lower Q960 sequencer. Each vco pitch is from a separate row of the Q960. The Q960's shift timing is from the CGS Master Divider module. The output is routed through an Empress Reverb pedal in Blue Ghost mode. Panning is from the LWSS/Yusynth Panning Mixer.
All pitch quantitization is through a Moon Modular 565 series setup.
Additional voltage modulation to the Woven Spirits module are from the STG Soundlabs voltage mini stores, and vaious LFO's etc. Timing for the additional sequencers is also managed by the Moster Divider."

Make Any Patch More Interesting - Add a Ring Mod ' Synthesizers.com Patch Tutorial
video upload by Synthesizer Reviews // Tips // Patch Tutorials
"Use promo code KUBIN10 for a 10% discount code [at synthesizers.com]. This is limited to one time use per customer and capped at $500.00. So if you spend 5k you get $500 off. If you spend 6k they get $500 off. There is no minimum purchase amount - get what you need - but it makes sense to make your one time purchase with code KUBIN10 count.
If you need add this module Synthesizers.com offers two choices in Ring Modulators
Q116 Ring Modulator
Q158 VCA2++ Pan, Fade, Mix, Ring, Amplifier
For me, Ring Modulation has always been the key to inspiring patches. While working on a new song for Venus Hum I was having a hard time coming up with a part that I was happy with. I’d been experimenting with velocity and what it can do do create variations within a Ring Mod Patch. So, I made a very standard ARP2600 Ring Mod patch, added velocity to the exponential CV Input and the resulting sound was all the inspiration I needed to play a part that I think is perfect for the song. If you don’t have a Ring Modulator in your system you are missing out on some of the most beautiful and inspiring tones a synthesizer can create.
