"Synth arduino build by Gieskes."

These are pretty rare as far as I am aware. Gieskes' work has been featured numerous times here on MATRIXSYNTH over the years, but the HSS3G has only been featured only once before now, and the HSS2G only three times. There was also an HSS2 and HSS2e. Click through the links for videos of each.

G-Minus: Teletype i2c Ecosystem


Published on Apr 18, 2018 Dudadius

"Practicing with some live performance ideas.

Monome Teletype is attached to Telex expanders, 2 Ansibles, and Orthogonal Devices ER-301. Kria is running on the Grid, and it is playing 3 voices of the E370 VCO into a Cwejman QMMF4. 4th voice is Atlantis. Varigate 8 is playing some drum modules, including a couple of Noise Engineering bits.

Arc is playing Levels, which is controlling some parameter associated with the Granular playback of a pad sound that I sample from the PPG Wave 2.2. It is triggered by a script running a Euclidean Rhythm that gets varied by one of the Telex parameter knobs.

I have a side-chain WMD compressor set up with submixing in a Mixup. Overseer filter at the end of the entire chain."

"Only 666 of this version were made. This unit has the original knobs which is uncommon for these synthesizers. There are some chips and scratches here and there and the Main Volume knob is a little looser than the others, which is why the price is a little lower than usual for these Shadow Editions, but still looks great."

Moseley Instruments Cosmopolitan Dual VCO (Eurorack modular synth jam)


Published on Apr 18, 2018 DreamsOfWires

"Mosely Instruments 'Cosmopolitan' dual phase distortion oscillator for Eurorack modular. 3 simple live jam/performance recordings, no overdubbing.
Track one Intro is the Radio Music module through a Frequency Central phaser. Each of the two Cosmopolitan oscillators are controlled independently by a MIDI sequencer (Genome on iPad), Triangle Sine and Resonant Triangle wave shapes are modulated, as is the pitch of the latter. No filters are used on the Cosmopolitan, just some reverb. Video footage of San Francisco is part 3 of last year's USA tour video (more to follow).
Track 2 uses the Make Noise Pressure Points to control both oscillators, which are being processed by the AJH Ladder Filter (cutoff only, no resonance) and VCA. The latter two modules are modulated by the WMD/SSF Spectrum (LFO mode), Frequency Central Wave Runner LFO (sample & hold mode), System X envelope, and AJH Dual Contour Generator. Finally, analog delay is added to the output using the Synthrotek DLY.
Track 3 uses just a little bit of filtering from the AJH filter again (75% cutoff only) and the two Cosmopolitan voices are set up like a 2-voice polyphonic synth, with true polyphony of the two oscillators at 11:08 by use of the 2HP dual VCA (hear the overlapping notes). The melody is from my 'Beginnings' album on Bandcamp (see 'Communication').

"This is a tutorial and explanation of how to use the comb filter on the Waldorf Blofeld to create effects like chorus and flanger but also use it to make plucked string and flute sounds using physical modeling. The comb filter is based on a delay line. You can change the delay time with the cutoff frequency knob and the feedback with the resonance knob."

WMD Fracture - Free Run and Oscillator Sync Demo


Published on Apr 18, 2018 WMDevices

"WMD Fracture is our second Eurorack Module aimed at creating percussion and drum sounds. However, it has a much wider range of sounds and uses than just snare, clap, and snaps for eurorack.

In this video, we explore the sounds created when using Fracture in it's free running oscillator mode as well as what it sounds like to sync it to another oscillator.

To enter free run oscillator mode, just put a static voltage above 2.3V (gate signal) into the INF input. The envelope will be disabled, and the module will run like an oscillator.

For the Sync Demo, we are running the Phase Displacement Oscillator (PDO MKii) into the Trig input on the Fracture. We have a sequence from Voltage block controlling the pitch of the PDO.

As there is so much sonic territory to explore with this module, we just kept the camera rolling.

*note* This is a stereo module but this demo was recorded using a mono interface so it is a monophonic recording. We'll post another demo of this use in stereo shortly.

Nord Modular vs. Octatrack generative madness


Published on Apr 18, 2018 0F.digital

Remember you can use the controls at the bottom of the player to jump around.

"DISCLAIMER: This video is intentionally more about long-form sound design and sample manipulation than lush melodic content.

I created a totally chaotic, generative Nord Modular G1 patch with a lot of cross-modulation and unorthodox synthesis/sequencing. It borders on noise, but there are some tonal elements as well. Basically some really good sampling material for the Octatrack.

I used several tracks on the OT to mangle various parts of the incoming audio, using both normal and one-shot trigs on a few track recorders. I've had the OT for over a year now and am still learning new things to do with it.. and still fumbling a bit, as you may notice!

Audio source is entirely synthesis from the Nord. Octatrack is sampling and providing effects. No external audio processing, apart from a light limiter.

No editing; this is a pretty self-indulgent video but it might be good to skip through and find some interesting parts. I'll probably edit this down and use it as the base for another track at some point.

Here's the Nord patch:

Logan Vocalist (1979) and friends - 70s french "special" movie soundtrack music


Published on Apr 18, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

Logan Vocalist - 37-note (F-F) monophonic and polyphonic analog choir synthesizer from the year 1979

Rare like stardust and maybe one of the most interesting human voice synths ever.

Made in Italia.

The sound is a bit like the Roland VP-330 human voice section but you have a lot more possiblities with the 3 vowel filters (aaaa----oooo----uuuuu), the envelopes and mixing the different sounds.
Unique sound and very characterful like a Mellotron or Vocoder.

The demo track shows the human voice sounds together with other instruments from the golden age of synthesizers.

analog choir sounds: Logan Vocalist (1979)
bass, sample/hold and theremin sound: Moog Source (1981)
analog strings: Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus (1979)
drums: Korg KR-55B (1982)

recording: multi-track, played by hand
