Steve Reich "Clapping Music" but its a Modular Synth!

video upload by

"The original composition featured two performers clapping the same phrase, with one performer adding a beat every 8 measures, thereby generating new rhythms. In this case the two performers are my modular synth and Roland TR8 drum machine. A clock divider is used to add beats and shift the rhythm. And...I've added other elements to spice it up, completely defeating the minimalist nature of the original :("

Waldorf Microwave XT Non Nextel Orange w/ Board #3 & ALPS Knobs

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is the desired and more rare non-Nextel coated version. Most Microwave XT versions have the shitty Nextel surface coating that decays very naughty (gets sticky, flaky, dirty and grey-ish) over time and this can't be fixed anymore. The surface on the edition listed keeps the strong orange colour. Also the total decaying original knobs are replaced for Waldorf Q knobs, they look better and don't fall apart over time. So this XT is ready for the future.

Display is perfect!
Comes with the original manual (with the famous pink XT-cover, missing back plastic)
Latest version produced so comes with Board #3, needed for upgrade to 30 voices!"

"The CS15D is a three-octave monosynth that has 29 preset sounds, as well as the ability to dial in your own program. It has a single VCO, and a 2-pole low-pass filter with a dedicated envelope. The ability to blend between the dual channels and detune the second channel add to its warmth and character."

Teisco S110F Mono/Duophonic Analog Synthesizer SN 2140

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Nearly Mint in condition, pics show the finish has very little wear with only a couple light dots & scratches (barely visible) to paint, and better than new cosmetically with brand new American Walnut wood sides to replace the crappy particle board.

No corrosion or rust, and the synth was recently pro serviced (service records available upon request).

The pictures speak for themselves this is a great looking synth, with lots of LED feedback. It benefits from having lots of onboard features like EQ filter bank.

It has very snappy envelopes for a mono/duophonic synth, and its built extremely well, with a steel chassis, and ow walnut sides, especially when compared to something like it's progenitor the ARP Odyssey."

FREE Virt Vereor, Sinc Vereor, and Ruina plugins for VST3, AU, AAX - official plugins demo

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Hi! I’m Elana, Destroyer of Worlds here at Noise Engineering. Welcome to our demo video of our freequel bundle. The bundle includes Virt Vereor, Sinc Vereor, and Ruina. It is available for Mac and PC, in VST3, AU and AAX formats.

To get yours, create an account on our Customer Portal, download the installer, and then run the installer: https://portal.noiseengineering.us

00:00 Intro
00:30 Installation
01:54 Virt Vereor
05:30 Sinc Vereor
07:08 Ruina

About the Synths:
Virt Vereor is a powerful synthesizer based on a unique set of three synthesis algorithms. Virt Vereor makes a tremendous amount of unique sounds with an immediate and usable interface.

Astute users will recognize these algorithms from Noise Engineering’s contribution to Arturia’s Microfreak V3 firmware and our upcoming Virt Iter module.

Sinc Vereor’s intuitive and inviting controls belie the power of this lightweight synthesizer. Loosely based on Noise Engineering’s beloved Eurorack module Sinc Iter, the wavemorphing/wavefolding Tone control makes sound design a breeze. Three modes provide ample sound options.
We’ve paired the Virt and Sinc oscillator sections with Vereor, our easily manipulated dynamics section using an ADSR envelope controlling a variable slope and analog-inspired multimode gate/filter. Add to that a vintage-inspired chorus and a load of presets, and these synths have something for everyone.

About Ruina:
Ruina is a creative stereo distortion plugin built on digital distortion algorithms. Fully automatable controls make it easy to get a gentle, nuanced color, to obliviate a signal, or to dial in anything in between. Don’t feel like tweaking the parameters? Ruina comes with tons of presets to fit any need.

Ruina has a wavefolder, a multiband saturator, a chaotic suboctave generator, octavizer, and phase shifter. It also features a notch or bandpass filter with adjustable tracking, and a control to set the order of the distortions in the signal flow to further customize your sound. Last but not least, Overdrive adds up to 128x gain for maximal destruction.
Run any sound through Ruina for warm, lush distortion, or crank the sliders to unleash complete destruction. With seven distortion types, it’s easy to turn your sounds into something new and unique with Ruina."

Improvisation with Make Noise gear, Microfreak , Norns , Argon8

video upload by junklight

"I like this excerpt from tonights practice session (stick with it - there are two distinct sections). Loving the Make Noise tape and micro sound machine - the limitation of the set system forces a lot of creativity but it's well thought out enough to be full of potential.

Lots of lovely sounds from the 0--coast too.

if you are wondering why I keep looking back at the micro sound & tape system towards the end it's because at that point I hadn't quite worked out where the rhythmic beat was coming from :-)

Unfortunately the storage on my phone ran out before the live patching session on the larger modular for a long bolero"

Voltage Modular VM900 Tangram

video upload by boxoftextures

"Well I've always loved the Tangram sequence. It's iconic, what I think of when think of sequencers. From the Tangerine Dream album in 1980 of the same name. It's four patterns of 7 notes, each played twice. I even already did a video about it several weeks ago, except I used "standard" digital modules to do it. Three sequencers, the kind where you put in note names (such as A3, B5, etc.), and were you have digital clock modules controlling everything. Makes things easier! Except now that Cherry Audio's come out with the VM900 Collection of Moog-style modules, I now have a real (LOL) sequencer to work with. Totally analog, nothing digital. Which means you can't say something like, "give me 96bpm," you have to figure out the precise voltages you'll need to get the results you want. And you have to use analog logic and programming to get all your events happening when you want them and all in the proper order. Endless fun! (No, I mean it!) It's not that it's harder to do, it's that it makes you think differently to get things working. Wouldn't have it any other way.

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"Introducing CircuitStation, your video game music creation tool in a box.

Videogames and music have always gone hand in hand and CircuitStation was made with the love of sounds from videogames in mind.

Bleeps and bloops, long dark pads, arpeggiated 8 bit tones, a lot of classic tones you will recognize from your favorite games

While Chiptunes were an inspiration for this pack, and are often used in videogames...this is not a chiptune pack. This is a tool to be used in the creation of all music with videogames as a theme.

CIRCUIT STATION CONTENTS

64 synth patches all created with various games in mind, and sounds or songs that could possibly be created in that game.

64 samples ranging from sounds from games pitched into drums, to actual game samples, system startup sounds, and character sounds, there's something that will hit everyone's nostalgia meter.

8 bit organs, arpeggiators, vibrant leads, and dark bass tones that sound like they were pulled directly from your favorite console

Macros are uniform across most patches, and all are made for movement and performance, whether that be a live set, while jamming, or in the midst of a recorded track.

Whether it be the soothing sounds of the mushroom kingdom you're trying to accomplish, the pumping bass of a sonic water level, or the lush dark tones of a final fantasy boss fight, CircuitStation has you covered
