“Like a sample & hold with a masters degree” // Joranalogue Walk 4 (Eurorack demo)

video upload by DivKid and Joranalogue Audio Design

"Here we have the newly released Walk 4 from Joranalogue, billed as a quad brownian accumulator and according to Joranalogue it’s a “battery for CV” and “like a sample and hold with a masters degree” … both brilliant descriptions! With Walk 4 you can generate random, or staircase voltages, manipulate CV and audio for some amazing results, create sub oscillators, chords, re work v/oct material into new auto accompanying melodies … check out the description below for all we’ve got out of Walk 4 for the demo."

Leviasynth subtractive synthesis Oscillator tips

video upload by Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit

"The Leviasynth Allows you to create a wide range of sounds from vintage sloppy subtractive synthesis to tightly bound FM sounds and everything in between. Here I show some tips on how to get the most out of the oscillator section's ability to have drift and movement when creating those vintage analog subtractive synthesis style sounds.

ARP Odyssey Mk II 2813 with Sub-Oscillator Kit Installed SN 1157

via this eBay listing

"The Odyssey was Arp's competition to the Minimoog in the 1970s. It is a 37-note two-oscillator analog synth, and it has a duophonic keyboard, meaning that you can play two notes at once (for which the Odyssey assigns one oscillator to each note). This Odyssey also has our Sub-Oscillator Kit installed which gives it square-wave sub-oscillators for each of the Odyssey's VCOs, and a control potentiometer for mixing in the amount of each sub. The resulting sound is monstrous!

This Odyssey is a Mk II model 2813 and it is in good condition. It was serviced by our technicians and is ready for many more years of use. It really is a perfect addition to any stage or studio."

When the Spec Becomes Code: Building a Norns Instrument with AI

video upload by Lesjamusic

"Building PolyNexus: A Complete Norns Instrument, using Claude AI

I used to struggle with "vibe coding" - throwing prompts at AI and hoping for working software. Then I discovered the article "When the Spec Becomes the Code," and everything changed.

Spec-driven development (SDD) transformed my workflow. Instead of generating code through endless prompts, I focus on creating clear specifications first. The spec becomes the blueprint, and Claude AI helps compile it into working code.

PolyNexus is the result of this approach - a complete generative polyphonic instrument for Monome Norns that evolved far beyond my initial vision. What started as a chord sequencer grew ambitious: I built PolyVoice, a custom 6-voice synthesizer engine in SuperCollider, based on three Plaits oscillator models with wavefolding, sample rate reduction, and comprehensive modulation.

The best part? Spec-driven development gave me the confidence to tackle SuperCollider synthesis, something I wouldn't have attempted with traditional "vibe coding."

🎹 PolyNexus Features:

PolyVoice Synthesis Engine: • Custom 6-voice polyphonic SuperCollider engine • Three Plaits-inspired oscillator models (morph, waveshaping, wavetable) • Wavefolding for harmonic complexity • Sample rate reduction for lo-fi textures • Independent LFOs and envelope control per voice

Generative Sequencer: • 16-chord harmonic palette (monome Grid row 1) • Probabilistic note retriggering engine • Random chord sequencer for compositional surprises • Bass and sub-bass sequencer for rhythmic foundation • Real-time playable notes (Grid row 5)

Analog-Style Effects Chain: • Tape character: flutter, wow, saturation, tape noise • Tape-style delay with feedback and rate control • Multi-mode filtering for tone shaping

🔗 Resources: • Jean Bovet: "When the Spec Becomes the Code" - / when-the-spec-becomes-the-code • PolyNexus (coming soon to lines community) • monome Norns - https://monome.org • Mutable Instruments Plaits • SuperCollider synthesis language

⏱️ Timeline:
0:00 - Introduction: The Struggle with Vibe Coding
01:51 - Discovery: Spec-Driven Development
04:33 - What is PolyNexus?

Want to try spec-driven development? Start by describing what you want to build in clear, detailed language. Iterate on the specification until it's crystal clear. Then let AI help compile it into code. You'll be amazed at what becomes possible."

FOUR SEAS // A Multi-Voice Mega Wavetable Oscillator Powerhouse from Ferry Island Modular

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have Ferry Island Modular's first release 'Four Seas', which is designed, engineered and manufactured in Finland. It's a real power house of a sound source, suiting to quickly grabbing some waves to patch with or for deep sound design tweaking. Everything is knob/button per function with no menus, making complex behaviours, modulations and sounds simple to access. There's LOTS of examples in this video, see the timing index below for all that's covered ... yet I'm sure there's lots left to uncover with all the options this presents."

Hurray... Take 5 and TEO 5 Desktop Units

video upload by Starsky Carr

TEO 5 announced here

"The Take 5 and Teo-5 from Sequential and Oberheim make fantastic desktop units. They feel like they were made for this form factor - no compromises, simply great sounding synths in a high quality enclosure. The keyboard versions may have felt lacking in keys (even though they have a great keybed) - just a bit too short for some. I found it was quite handy having one that could fit on my rack! But with these the only decision you have to make is which one is best for you.

Luckily I'm here to confuse you further (they both sound great)! The decision will be whether you prefer the Oberheim or Sequential style of VCO programming, the filters, and the X-Mod/FM. And these just so happen to be the bits I look at in this :)"

kNoB technology ηCarinae 2 Eurorack VCO Full Review and Demonstration

"kNoB technology presents an updated and improved Eurorack VCO module ηCarinae 2
Our second ray of light during a dark time

The ηCarinae 2 is a fully analog tzfm oscillator (tri-based).
The concept behind the creation of ηCarinae was to develop a generator with multi-level wave shaping and transformation, allowing not only smooth selection of the base waveform but also modification of the waveform itself in order to expand the available timbres.
7-level waveforming= simple form + form shaping + sub osc + "sine+" + FM + selfpatching + Ring mod
5 basic waves (Tri, Sine, Saw, Double saw, Square PWM) and white noise with vactrol LP filter
Wave folding for sine and triangle waves
SAW and Double SAW, both with Smooth saw ramp shaper (Rise to Fall)
Two SUB OSC f/2 + f/4 with CV level control in main mix
Hard and Soft sync
2x LFO modes
SINE+ mode for mixing simple waveforms with a folding sine wave
Pure analog design in every part of the module
LIN, EXP, TZFM, TZPM, RING modulation possibilities
