Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz Custom Euro


Published on Mar 25, 2017 Modular8

"First run through of the RML Electron Fuzz Custom Euro pedal. This module is built with 1/8 audio i/o and CV inputs for flexible control and nice integration with a eurorack modular system w/o any additional modules. there are no 1/4 I/O on this pedal.

simple patch of plucky bass sound and a kick snare going into the pedal with modulation from a doepfer quad lfo/AD.

there's tons of sweet spots. best listened to w/full range speakers or headphones. there's a lot of subtle distortions/harmonics at some settings. very lovely sounding pedal that can also be feedback harsh distortion in a musical and controllable way."

Noise Engineering Cursus Iteritas Sounds


Published on Mar 27, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Exploring the sound palette of Noise Engineering’s new Cursus Iteritas oscillator by controlling all of its parameters with the Malekko Voltage Block.

Cursus Iteritas is an oscillator that works from a dynamically generated wavetable. It gives the user spectral-like controls over three different modes based on different conceptualizations of frequency: Fourier, which uses sine waves; Daubechies, using wavelets, and Walsh mode, using the Walsh transform. Cursus Iteritas parametrizes a wide variety of sounds, but because the sounds are all based off of orthogonal functions, it has a musical tone structure and can produce an extremely wide variety of harmonic sounds.

Moog Music Discontinues the Last of the Voyager Line with the Minimoog Voyager XL


The end of an era. Note the original Minimoog Voyager was discontinued back in 2015.

I'm a proud owner of an original Signature edition Voyager SN 446.

via Moog Music:

"Today we say goodbye to the Minimoog Voyager XL, the last of the Minimoog Voyagers in production at the Moog Factory.

The Minimoog Voyager family of synthesizers holds a special place in our hearts--the Voyager was the final synthesizer that Bob Moog designed from start to finish and the culmination of his life's work; his DNA runs through the circuits of this family of instruments, which includes the Voyager, Voyager RME, Voyager Old School, and Voyager XL. The XL is the last member of this family currently in production, and as of today, we are announcing its official discontinuation.

Introduced in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Minimoog Model D's release, the Minimoog Voyager XL combines the heart of the groundbreaking Minimoog Voyager with a patch bay, informed by the original Moog modular systems.

Since its release in 2010, the Minimoog Voyager XL has made its mark in film scores, sound design, on platinum records, and on stages the world over. Artists and producers ranging from Trent Reznor to Kanye West have used the legendary warmth and versatile patchability of the XL to craft their unique sound.

As we bid a bittersweet farewell to the Minimoog Voyager XL, we keep the spirit of its circuits front of mind as we design the instruments in our future, acknowledging that the XL is the last of the Voyager family but not the last of its legacy.

We will build a highly limited number of units while parts and materials last, before bringing production to a close. Contact your local authorized Moog dealer or distributor to inquire about purchasing one of the final Minimoog Voyager XL analog synthesizers."

DSI PRO 2 AS AN EFFECTS UNIT ~ External audio input tutorial feat. Korg Volca Bass


Published on Mar 27, 2017 once upon a synth

"This is a tutorial demonstrating how you can use the Pro 2 synthesizer as an effects box for processing external sounds. I'm using the Korg Volca Bass as an example sound source here. The Pro 2 has an audio input jack on the back where you can plug in any audio source. Then you can bring up the volume of the external input in the oscillator section. Finally you must gate the sound in order to hear it and you can do this either via playing notes on the keyboard of by playing the sequencer. Once you have that setup you can start using various different sound processing tools like the filter, distortion, hack, decimator, drive and the 4 delay lines. On top of all that you can utilize the various different modulation options of the Pro 2 to further shape the sounds. The Pro 2 is a very powerful unit as an effects processor."

Jacques Mongrel - How I Learned To Love The Octatrack #1 + VLOG


Published on Mar 27, 2017 Jacques Mongrel

"VLOG English: 13:58, Español: 18:52, Catalá: 25:02, Français: 32:11
Playing out my first live Octatrack project after several years of sitting pretty on the memory card. Using the cue function to improvise more effectively. Radio, record, percussive samples combine to make some mid tempo jams, that start atmospheric and get more dancefloor friendly along the way. I edited the jam in a couple of places to shorten some longer passages and fix a couple of errors."

Vintage e-Mu modular.

"Sequencing on a very early digital sequencer - The Emu 2540 Memory Sequencer Modules. I just had them painstakingly fixed by Andy Horrell, who I bought the system from. These modules were made in 1973 and contain very easy digital / analog circuits. But they are really interesting to work with."

E.S.L. Vertice Seconda Serie Divertimento (first official demo)


Published on Mar 27, 2017 Euterpe Synthesizers

"In this video are showed some new exciting features of our analog filterbank.

Vertice autonomously produces a low frequency squarewave generated by a real audio feedback (Rear A-filter Output into Front A-filter Input) and carries a simple drum loop (B-filter) that also drives its Envelope Generator.

This is fully raw audio material, no editing, no mastering, no equalizing, no nothing, pure improvised jam recording. Best part from 1:00 :)"

So here's a taste from today's jam, complete with subtitles describing my connections as I develop the patch.
This patch features The Organ Chords version of the Radio Music Thing plus other modules, many of them DIY."

Elektron Analog Heat on Sine Waves (Melody and Bass) - How does it sound?


Published on Mar 15, 2017 umonox

"In my second Tryout of the Elektron Analog Heat i wanna find out how it sounds on pure Sine Waves. For this i've used a free Software Synthesizer called "Helm", set it to produce a single Single Sine Wave - and let the Heat do the rest ;-)

I start with a Melody and move over to a Bass Sound. I highly recommend Headphones for this one - especially for the Bass Part.

Hope you like it. And if so, dont forget to leave a like and a comment if you want. And also dont forget to subscribe - for more :)

umoTalk #01: Elektron Digitakt - Is it the Machine you want?

Published on Mar 24, 2017 umonox

"Hello everyone. I thought i should start talking a little bit about gear and stuff as well :-) So i am proud to introduce you to a new "format" on my Channel - the umoTalk - where i will do exactly this in the future. In my first Video in this category its about the Elektron Digitakt and whether you might need it - or not.

Im trying to give you some ideas for the Usage of the Digitakt from the perspective of someone who:

1. Does own Elektron Machines already ( 3:00 )
2. Does NOT own Elektron Machines - or even Hardware in general - yet ( 10:41 )

Those are my personal thoughts on it right now. It isnt released yet, so things may change when it's out. I will update this Video if the need arises.

Ok ... sit back, take a Snack and enjoy! And if you like this Video, dont forget to leave a like - and Subscribe if you dont wanna miss whats coming next ;-)

Cheap monday / Microkorg 303 / MFB522


Published on Mar 27, 2017 se7ense7

"It's not a real good emulation, but it sounds familiar enough. All notes to Mk and MFB are sent by Ableton.

I know a lot of people prefer the pulse-303, I like the saw-303 just as much. The choir was recorded afterwards. Btw, it's harder to program a nice 303 sequence than it is to make the sound. I tried."
