Published on Mar 30, 2018 Gonzalo Pérez F.

"For best results, listen to this video on headphones and try to follow the sound, the values can be variable among different synthesizers, but the key is the same.
You can sculpt the sound with an equalizer and other effects.
I just wanted to use the synthesizer´s capabilities.
Enjoy making sounds and tweaking knobs!

Kick drum & Noise made with DSI Pro-2
Snare made with Battery
Choir sound made with Waldorf Blofeld.
Sequenced into Pro-tools."

Erica Synths Acidbox III Stereo Polivoks Filter


Published on Mar 30, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Erica Synths Acidbox III is a stereo Polivoks Filter in a box with both bandpass and lowpass modes and CV control over filter cutoff. There is a tap tempo LFO with multiple clock divisions and waveshapes as well as an envelope follower. The input level can be adjusted for overdriving the filter and the cutoff knob is huge for having fun with filter sweeps. In this video a Plankton Ants sequenced by a Korg SQ-1 is the input to the Acidbox.

"The Micromoog was designed by Robert Moog and Jim Scott as a scaled-down, cheaper alternative ($650-$800 market price) to the Minimoog. It was designed to tap into a market of musicians who wanted an introduction to synthesis, but could not afford the $1,500 Minimoog. It thus is extremely basic in design. It is a monophonic synthesizer, featuring 1 variable waveshape voltage-controlled oscillator. It has a -24 dB per octave low-pass filter with envelope generator, a voltage-controlled amplifier, noise generator, sample and hold circuit, low-frequency oscillator, and modulation routing. It has a 32-note keyboard and was one of the first synthesizers to include a built-in ribbon controller, in this instance for pitch bending. The Micromoog has an audio input allowing external audio to be run through the filter and VCA. It also features the Moog Open System control inputs, a pre-MIDI control system which enabled the unit to be controlled by other Moog synthesizers."

X1L3 - PERSUADATRON - FM radio eurorack module


Published on Mar 30, 2018 manufacturedZ3R0

"A simple demo following a dark power electronics theme. Using persuadatron to listen to a brain dead local radio station and pass it through clouds to generate the incidentals and background scene of the track.

Basically it's an FM radio with digtal controls. You can manually adjust the volume, station and mute it or you can trigger these with the gate inputs. It has an auto scan function which will scan it's entire frequency range and save all the stations it finds. Or if you prefer you can scan for them yourself.

The track is nothing more than the radio station fed into clouds and then manually manipulated with that modules controls. Made as an example of how cool a radio is for raw material more than anything else. The whole abysmal advertising breaks and template pop music package gets the treatment to awesome effect here. Backed by a drone and some strings."

Korg Prologue - Custom Patches 1 to 25 - GEOSynths.com


Published on Mar 30, 2018 GEOSynths

"Epilogue Vol 1

First load of Custom Patches I've made for the Korg Prologue, mainly Single Patches, though there are 1 or 2 Stacked/Split Sounds. It definitely has its own sound and character, which can lean towards the spirit of old Oberheim, but I wouldn't say it's a "Polite" Synth...not a "Prim and Pretty" 24db Filter...just an 'Earthy' 12db Tone that's very modern...and it's great!

I've set the Mod Wheel for changes and some Patches are set up to work with an Expression Pedal (Moog EP3 used)."

Modular & Minimoog (TWSMDS) - with 1130 drum controller

"The World's Second Most Dangerous Synth - sequencer 'speed' and quantiser 'transpose' controlled by Moog 1130 drum feeding different levels of CV. As pitch goes up, speed slows down... and then also, by using the reversible attenuator on the speed CV, both pitch and speed go up and down together. Loads of possibilities...!"

Black Model Isla Kordbot

via this auction

"If you are reading this you already know a couple of things. First off it’s black. That is why the price is a hundred more then I would charge for a white one. Two is the fact that it takes a good long time to get one in white also. Don’t waste time over thinking this buy because this BLACK KORBOT is going to fly out of here. I listed a white one back before the update was available and it lasted like thirty minutes. The new and improved includes a sick as hell sequencer along with the craziest arpeggiator I’ve ever seen and a chord progression computer on board that makes it easy to save chords to any one of twelve pads. You can do so much with this thing and the little colored screen is sooo awesome looking. When a chord is playing the corresponding rubber keyboard button / keys light up red. This thing is hard to let go of for so many reasons that I say if the price at a place that I can order a white one for myself pay shipping to my buyer , shipping for my new Kordbot , and the two or three months it will take for me to receive my new White Kordbot and still not feel like I’m taking a loss then that’s the way I came up with the price of $500.00 then I said now that sounds fair to me then I took $25.00 more off my bottom line price. Thanks."

Teenage Engineering OP-1 and Mutable Instruments Clouds | The Prelude


Published on Mar 30, 2018 umonox

"Hello my friends. I have a good old buddy back: The Teenage Engineering OP-1 has arrived a couple of days ago! And it's joined by the Mutable Instruments Clouds Eurorack Module - my first Eurorack Module ever. In this Video it provides a little Ambience to some very basic Patterns that i made with the OP-1.

Clouds receives Audio from the Elektron Analog Four and is fed directly into the Input of the OP-1 where it's monitored on Track 4.

This is just the first of some more Videos where i will use Clouds and the OP-1 together. Stay tuned for more ;-)

All the best,

Friday Fun - Synth Jam Korg Minilogue and Mutable Instruments Clouds


Published on Mar 30, 2018 sonicstate

"This week in our occasional series where we pair synthesizers, modules or FX for a musical interlude, we use the Mutable Instruments Clouds - we have a special version which our Sonic TALK viewers bought in celebration of our 500th episode and had a custom faceplate made for it. Ours is called Fulsome Clouds. its an interesting unit which allows you to take sounds recorded into the input buffer, and apply granular operations to it, and sending the results into a lovely reverb.

We pair that with the Korg Minilogue - the first affordable analogue poly which we reviewed when it came out. The Minilogue is a surprisingly capable instrument for the money."

Mutable Instruments Introduces New Marbles Eurorack Module


Published on Mar 30, 2018 Erstlaub

"A basic overview of some of Marbles features. If you can imagine SOU/A149, Branches, Grids, Turing Machine, Brainseed, Sloth and a host of other modules all housed inside one controllable chaotic beauty, this is it!

Note: These are complex modules with a lot of inter-related functions, these videos hopefully serve to illustrate some basic operations."

Some details via Mutable Instruments:

"CONTROLLED CHAOS, REPEATABLE RANDOMNESS

Marbles is a source of random gates and voltages, which offers an extensive amount of (voltage) control on all the different flavors of randomness it produces.

The module gives the musician many different ways of imposing structure on the random events generated by the module: synchronization to external clocks, control of the repetition or novelty of the generated material, quantization of the voltages, or randomization of gates or voltages generated by traditional sequencers.

t: the random gate generator

Marbles either follows its own internal clock, or locks onto an adjustable multiplication/division of an external clock (or regular rhythmic pattern). This regular clock is perturbed by a process simulating an instrumentist playing along a click and trying to catch up on their errors - from perfect accuracy to complete chaos.

From this imperfect master clock, a 2-channel random rhythm is generated, using one of the following processes: random coin toss (similar to Branches), random ratcheting, or random drum pattern generation (similar to a randomly modulated Grids).

X: the random voltage generator

This generator produces 3 channels of random voltages, each of them clocked by the individual outputs of the t section, or by a common external clock signal.

Complete control on the distribution of the output voltages is provided: concentrated or spread-out, quantized or unquantized, smoothed or steppy, centered or biased towards a specific voltage. The same transformations can be performed on an external CV, for sample-and-hold or shift-register operation.

An auxiliary slowly fluctuating random voltage output (Y) is also available for self-patching fun!

A FEELING OF DÉJÀ-VU…

Marbles remembers the history of every recent clock deviation, rhythm or voltage it has generated. The DEJA VU knob on the panel controls the probability of reusing past material instead of sampling fresh random data.

You are thus given control on the feeling of repetition and structure in the generated random voltages and rhythms. At the extreme, the module no longer generates any novel values and loops over the same pattern (or a random permutation of it). And of course, this (variably) random looping can be performed on external CVs!"
