BlaknBlu Oscar Tria Stereo VCO Review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"The triple featured Oscar Tria offers regular waveforms, swarming oscillations and polyphonic chord modes within a Eurorack, CV-controlled context. The stereo format offers some lovely detuning and there's some superb morphing between the waveforms. It's built on a digital platform but has a very analogue sound and workflow. Let's get into it."

Intro - 4:57
Overview - 9:34
Green Mode - VCO - 12:29
Yellow Mode - Swarm - 24:32
Orange Mode - Chord - 33:45
FM - 42:16
Noodling - 46:27
Running it in Mono - 51:37
Conclusions - 56:42

"Oscar Tria packs a lot of VCO into 10HP. There are three main modes described below.

Green Mode:
A ‘traditional’ stereo oscillator. In Green Mode you get the usual three waveforms – saw, triangle and square (with variable pulse width, of course) but you can continuously vary the waveform between the three. For instance, by turning the waveform knob to be just to the saw side of triangle, you get a sound very much like the Minimoog’s ‘shark tooth’.
Green mode also gives you a square wave sub oscillator – one octave below the main oscillators – and a sub sub, two octaves below.
Oscar Tria is stereo, of course, so you can detune one oscillator for a rich stereo image – or sum the two outputs to mono and you have two oscillators with two subs, for a BIG sound.
Green mode also features through zero FM, and hard sync.

Yellow Mode:
Super-saw! And super-square! And super-triangle! With a sub (of course). Yellow mode allows you to control the number of oscillators making up the super-whatever, from one (not really super) to 24! Again, being stereo you get up to 12 oscillators in one channel and 12 in the other. Add the sub for a HUGE sound.

Orange Mode:
This is a chord engine, with 20 selectable chords. There are controls to select which chord you want and how many notes are played (over two octaves). CV control allows you to set pitch and chord independently, so you can set up a polyphonic sequence, for instance. Again, the output is stereo with detune control of one output."

SoundToys SpaceBlender Meets Best Analog Synth Moog Sub 37

video upload by Anton Anru

"🖲 Great news from Soundtoys – they’ve released a new plugin that creates stunning, spacey reverbs. It features an excellent interface and sound. With a simple twist, the reverb tail can be flipped into reverse, which sounds especially interesting on short decays synced to the tempo of your track.

🎛 The first thing I wanted to run through this effect was the Moog Subsequent 37 – the king of analog sound. This way, I could blend top-tier analog with digital magic. The result is epic.

📦 The Moog Sub37 presets and patterns used in this demo, along with over 200 preset banks for both hardware and software synths, are available here:

Roland Juno-6 versus Roland JX-3P | Comparison

video upload by MIDERA

"Comparing the Juno-6 to the JX-3P. Some of this felt a little unfair because I was using the Juno 6 with sub and both oscillators active, so the 3P sounded a little anemic at times. I also noticed at times the JX-3P appeared quieter. I tried to rectify this, but know that going in it may feel slightly biased. I made this video TWO YEARS AGO and actually forgot until today that I had made it, sitting 'unlisted' in YouTube.

"When you don't have the words to express things, music somehow speaks for itself. It's a gift to your soul, when the world is spinning in ways you can't control, music does have a way in putting tings at ease. It's a good thing to find it necessary at times to bring yourself to an instrument, and allow yourself to play. Enjoy. :-)"

"Released in 1979, the SH-2 is one of Roland's early monophonic analogue synthesizers. It sounds much like the SH-101 synth, including the typical SH-style sub-oscillator. But the SH-2 employed 2 oscillators for a much fatter sound. Features ADSR envelope, with envelope follower on the external audio input, 37-note keyboard, auto bend, PWM, and portamento. Made in Japan."

Novation Summit | Moog Sub-37 - "Arpologies"

video upload by eM

"There's just something about these two synths. They truly are a happy marriage. They have their own sounds. I know many who owns synths perhaps have tried to dial in that specific sound against others, and they may come close, but its never to that exact "nichey"/"inkling" of depth that one or the other offers. It makes synths themselves give way to its own special existence for us all to explore. Some just offer longer relationships than others, but we'll never forget them as we move on or say good bye for a while, crossing the times to reminisce on the once was sounds that could potentially be had. Sometimes though having it again may not be the same, it was well for the season which it served in. Where as now there's just no parting with what you have determined to be one to carry you through many seasons."

"ST·FONT is a stereo liquid filter that takes the beloved core of our FONT module and expands it into a powerful stereo filtering tool.

With a dual filter core (one for each channel), it offers a massive liquid sound with smooth resonance, adding warmth and depth to any audio signal.

Dual-core Stereo Filtering
Independent filter cores for left and right channels with Low Pass, Band Pass, and High Pass modes, plus seamless crossfading between filter outputs.

Integrated Stereo VCA
Built-in stereo VCA with soft clipping, adding warmth and harmonic richness to your sound. From clean amplification to heavy saturation, enhancing tone before it reaches the filter stage.

Dynamic Resonance Modes
MILD keeps the resonance smooth and musical, ideal for classic filtering effects, while WILD pushes the resonance to its limits, delivering intense, aggressive sounds with heavy distortion that brings an extra edge to your signal.

Stereo Span Controls
Dedicated FREQ Span, RES Span, and MODE Span knobs allow you to create a wide, immersive stereo field by adjusting the spread of Frequency, Resonance and Mode across both channels."

Update: DivKid video added below.

"Hello!
Jason here.
Thank you for watching this video :)

This Signature Edition limited re-release of the tràigh low-pass filter module is available for purchase direct from Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/18233...

I am producing a limited batch which will be available for purchase while stock lasts.

This revised module was developed as a creative side project over the past month or two as a means of dealing with the unfortunate situation of having a very large pet greyhound with a relatively large diagnosis of cancer.
Winston was confirmed to have a stage 2 soft cell sarcoma earlier this year. He underwent a surgery on September 24th during which the tumour was successfully removed. (He has recovered very well and quickly!)
Due to the location of the sarcoma there is a high likelihood of cancer cells remaining at a microscopic level. If left unchecked they will likely return as a tumour with a chance of metastasising.
Winston began a 4 week treatment of radiotherapy on November 4th.
As of writing this we are now past the half way point and he is responding very well with no significant side effects presenting.
Each treatment requires full general anaesthetic, so I have a very dopey boy every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the entire month of November.
The vets do provide him with some roast chicken each session when he wakes up. So he seems quite happy with his current unusual routine.

Novation Summit | Moog Sub-37 - "Climatic War Engine"

"I kind of notice my patterns/playing style revolves with a similar sort of routine, this piece would be no different. I think for any musician while its wonderful to play for others, when it is just you, the heart find its home to where the natural just comes to fruition.

I was having a heart moment, in fact it was done prior to recording which I'm sure any of you folks who do such recordings have had those improv palm face moments of not hitting the record button sooner!

None the less, when it's between you and your instrument you can't always escape and tell the universe how its always going to play out, you just have to give into the moment and let it become part of you."

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping

We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.

The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.

Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.

3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module

At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from ‪@archaea_modular_synthesis‬ who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.

Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.
