Sequential OB6 vs Korg Prologue: choosing the best VCO Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer


video by Miles Away

"Wondering which synthesizer to pick? In this deep dive video I explore the similarities and differences between the Dave Smith OB6 and the Korg Prologue. Along with the Prophet 5/6 and Moog One, these two are some of the main modern VCO based poly synths. Which one should you choose?"

Playlist:
An experiment with the @Sequential​ Prophet12 and the @Hologram Electronics​ Microcosm. part 1
"Finally combined my trusty Sequential​ Prophet 12 module with the Hologram Electronics​ Microcosm and really happy with the results. This was the first take. I had quickly composed a chord sequence for the Prophet12's arpeggiator then what you hear is what happened next."
Prophet 12 and Microcosm outtake...
Just wanted to upload this too. Some interesting things happened in this take... Changing the 'spread' in the amp section of the @Sequential​ Prophet12 created a nice groove so I wanted to show you!

Prototype of Wavefolder/Lpg for gotharman instrument


video by Meska

"Here a quick demo of the prototype of wavefolder/resonant LPG i'm working on for gotharman instrument, it will be compatible with all gotharman instrument who have analog filter board slote.

for now it have 3 controle :
offset the gate
resonance
wavefolding

it's not impossible i will add some function ;)

the layout of the circuit is near from finish even if have have to select more precisely some parts, like get ride of ceramic capacitore, limiting the overdrive at max resonance ect..

if you have some question or sugestion about the designe feel free to leave a coment or to join the muff tread :

Happy Nerding FX Aid Tuner


video by Happy Nerding

"Tuner effect generates three fixed frequencies: 220 Hz, 440 Hz, 880 Hz. Left output - sawtooth wave, right output – triangle wave.
4hp FX AID version should have its CV input routed to the Sample Rate and kept unconnected for proper frequencies."

New Bastl Instruments Waver - The Complete Guide


video by

"In this video, Václav will show your every feature of our wave shaping module Waver.

0:10​ Overview
1:08​ ABC Inputs
3:28​ Shaping Section
4:43​ Break / Symmetry Control

16:05​ Complete Signal Path Explanation"



"Waver is a fully analog, wave folding mixer and signal disruptor inspired by experimental mixing techniques and mind-melting drones.

I/O
Waver has 7 inputs for mixing and modulating multiple signals. On the output side, it has a shape output and a pre-shaper mix output. All inputs and the mix out are DC coupled, meaning that the waver can also function as a powerful CV mixer with built-in offset, inversion, modulation, and feedback capabilities.

Mix
The mixing stage consists of A, B, and C inputs with dedicated faders and 2 bi–polar VCAs with attenuverting CV control. Add, subtract, wave.

This interface not only gives you total control over your signals but also invites you to find the unexpected sweet spots and surprising relationships that can emerge between them.

Shape
Mixed signals are then processed in the SHAPE section, its pallette relying on a wavefolder and square shaper. By employing threshold clipping and folding operations, waver expands your sound’s harmonic complexity and allows you to tweak patches up, down, squareways, and beyond. Experiment with the dynamics of incoming sounds to explore their shaped behaviors. Find reflections and dead zones between your inputs – or just refresh your unused oscillators and give them a new voice.

Break
Like all Casper x Bastl collaborations, Waver shines in the realm of feedback, distortion, and general sonic mayhem. Whether you want to muzzle your sound or make it snarl, the break control helps take you there. Proceed in any direction you desire or let waver lead the way – all sounds are beautiful ;)

Features
3 input mixer
2 bipolar VCAs
wave folder
square shaper
pulse width modulator
signal clipper & feedback
2 outputs pre and post shaper"

Modor DR-2 Drum Machine Clap through Boss DD8 GLT Mod for Techno Glitchy and Chaotic Delay.


video by Sound Provider

"Hello,
I am testing here a new sound design combo for my next tracks , Live act , sound bank for sound provider (https://www.sound-provider.eu/​ ) and also for fun .
The New DD-8 GLT delay mode created glitchy machine-gun effects when the pedal switch is pressed.It s quite fun to use and add little chaos and Glitch effect , I think it will be fun to use it in my next live show in addition to the other mods I already use. I use it here with the Beautiful digital drum machine from Modor , the DR-2.
For info about the mix I added a very very little bit of reverb on the clap and some EQ and compressor on all the percussions.

Voila , I hope some of you will find this video useful and that you will enjoy it.

Xiu Xiu Explore Hideous Sound Design (No Talking)


video by Perfect Circuit

follow-up to this post.

"During their recent visit to our studio, Angela Seo and Jamie Stewart from Xiu Xiu showed off a number of ways to make sounds that were as hideous and disgusting as possible. After filming with all of their varied setups, we ended up with way more sounds than we could cover in just one video. While our main video provides some valuable artistic insight into their processes and choice of equipment, we wanted to share a glimpse into their sound crafting without interruptions.

In their first jam, Angela sculpts feedback loops with a collection of her favorite pedals from Earthquaker Devices, Boss, and Death by Audio, while Jamie helms the mixer and Trogotronic’s Valykrie, a modified test equipment oscillator. Next, Angela switches over to her Waldorf Streichfett, while Jamie moves to a couple pedals of his own: Death by Audio’s Echo Dream 2 and Benidub’s DS71 Dub Siren. Angela and Jamie then both perform some solo Eurorack patches, and Angela closes things out with a solo performance on her Streichfett and pedals.

Sit back, grab some headphones, and lose yourself in the depths of Angela and Jamie’s noise, chaos, and unpredictability.

Metallic sounds on subtractive synths (Yamaha EX5)


video by Floyd Steinberg

"I got some comments and mails recently asking how to create metallic sounds. As I've already done a video on how to do that on an FM synth, here's an attempt at doing something similar on a subtractive synth. Table of contents below. If you want to know more on this subject, please read https://www.soundonsound.com/techniqu...​ and it's follow-ups. The more oscillators and filter types your synth can throw at you, the better the result!

00:00​ hello

08:10​ amp envelopes for lower frequency oscillators
09:24​ resulting sound 1

Passage of Days (Music Video)


video by Runningonair

"I recently found out that my old school was closed in 2009 and knocked down in 2015. I left in 1983 and although I have many mixed feeling about the place, I found it terribly sad to see it reduced to such a sorry state. I didn't write this piece specifically for this project, but it does capture much of that feeling.

Many thanks to Simon Kelly for the use of the photos."
