"The unit is in excellent physical and cosmetic condition and has been in storage for 20+ years in the original Moog shipping carton. It was working perfectly when I boxed it up, but since it has been in storage so long it is now out of calibration and the oscillators will not autotune, so it does not produce sound as the Memorymoog automatically disables any oscillators that won't autotune. The unit does power up quite well and appears to have all the presets still in memory. All the buttons appear to work and the knobs appear to operate correctly."

Strakt - Diagnoses
New release from supporting member, blurred.vision.
New electronic duo Strakt is a collaboration between -1 and Allinaire, two artists central to the modular synthesis resurgence in Sydney, Australia.
Their debut album Diagnoses grew organically from improvised modular synth performances and impromptu recordings, shaped with nearly a year of remote sessions and file transfers over the internet due to the pandemic.
Modular synths are notorious for producing almost too much music, making polished and cohesive modular-centric albums difficult to make and rare. Diagnoses is an exception. Every track began as a live modular synth exploration, then went through a complex progression of editing, arrangement, mixing and overdubbing, while always staying true to the original modular components.
The result is a musical journey through the landscape of modern modular synthesis, married to detailed, computer-based production. Allinaire's complex, circuit-bent beats and intriguing, filtered electrical sounds continually surprise the ears, while -1's subtle grooves and detailed arrangements draw the listener ever onward as the album progresses. Sounds evolve, travel and morph, always moving forward, always engaging.
The final, elegant touches to the album are courtesy of Taylor Deupree of 12K, a leading light in ambient music, and a talented mastering engineer.
The duo is already working on a direct-to-tape-live-in-one-take companion album to Diagnoses, while planning a small regional tour and a future vinyl release.

Performance of The Week: 'Vangelis'-inspired Melodic Eurorack Jam w/ Arturia Keystep Pro
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"A melodic modular synth performance loosely inspired by the late composer Vangelis, who sadly passed away this year (2022), particularly his unforgettable music for the 1983 movie 'Blade Runner'. This is a kind of homage to someone whose work has doubtlessly coloured the music of many musicians who came after him. The instrument used consists of a range of AJH Synth modules to create rudimentary analog percussion, choir' like pad, choppy monophonic pattern, and Blade Runner-is lead sounds, all of which are entirely analogue.
Modules used:
Percussion - Entropic Doom, Multi Burst Envelopes, Discrete Cascaded VCA
Choir Pad - Glide + Noise (a little glide added), Precision Voltages (for choosing note intervals whilst composing) Vintage Transistor Core VCO (x2, sawtooths), Wave Swarm, Fixed Filter Bank 914, Lunar Module (as noise source), Next Phase, Dual LFO + VCA (for panning FFB), Muting Mixer & VCA
Sequence - Vintage Transistor Core VCO (x1), Ring SM (adding 1 sub-octave, Sonic XV filter, Dual RVG (modulating filter), Contour Generators, Discrete Cascaded VCA
Lead - Full MiniMod voice (Glide/VCO x3/Ladder Filter/Contours/VCA), Dual LFO + VCA (pitch vibrato), DH-ADSR (providing envelope for vibrato level)
Sequencer used is the Arturia Keystep Pro"

FusionLab ION Synthesizer
video upload by Toine Scholtz
"A little video demonstrating the Ion, a digitally controlled analog monosynth that I built a while ago. All the music in the video was created using the synth only (sequenced from and recorded into Ableton Live).
I started sketching the concept for the synth nearly 10 years before I began the build, but had a great deal to learn about analog and digital electronics before I was capable of actually building it. I arrived at the final design around mid-2020, began the build late 2020, and completed it a few months into 2021.
The synth is controlled by MIDI over USB. I used a PJRC Teensy 3.1 microcontroller and several DAC ICs to generate control voltages.
The Ion has 3 VCOs, each producing a slightly different selection of waveforms, and a noise source with its own state variable filter. Each VCO can produce a pulse width waveform, and each has a dedicated LFO to control PWM. There are two main resonant VC filters, each with continuously variable responses between LPF, HPF, BPF and notch. The filter configuration can be continuously faded between series and parallel.
The synth has a main VCA with dedicated envelope generator, and each VCF has a dedicated EG controlling cutoff frequency. A dedicated LFO can control the frequency of one or all three VCOs. Three other modulation sources, an EG and two LFOs, can be routed through the modulation matrix, a two channel matrix with 7 sources and 8 destinations available on each channel. Each VCO output can be also used as a mod source, as can the noise source. The matrix destinations include VCO pitch, VCF cutoffs, and AM of one of the VCOs and the main VCA.
The synth uses a Doepfer DIY synth board, which provides one of the VCOs, one of the VCFs and its envelope generator, the main VCA, the pitch modulation LFO, and the slew limiter used for the glide control. All the remaining modules are either completely discrete or make use of dedicated synth chips.
The design of VCO1 is adapted from Thomas Henry's astoundingly good VCO-1. The second VCF derives from Thomas Henry's beautiful VCF-1 design. VCO2 uses the AS3340 clone of the classic CEM chip. One of the mod source LFOs is based on a very elegant Ray Wilson design, and the other mod source LFO and envelope generator (as well as the main EG and the EG modulating the other VCF) are build using the fantastic modulation chips designed and supplied by Electric Druid. The noise source is also based on the Electric Druid noise generator IC.
In practice, the synth architecture is predominantly subtractive, but the mod matrix means it's also possible to do basic FM, although that's fairly limited by there being only two mod matrix channels (mod matrices are difficult and expensive to implement).
The synth cost about 5 months of spare time, more money than I have the courage to calculate, and some intense stress and frustration in getting it to work properly. Debugging hardware is much more difficult than debugging software.
It was an amazing journey of learning, and I'm one step closer to knowing how not to build a synth. It also gave me an even more acute and humbling appreciation of just how astounding is the work done by the synth electronics pioneers, and indeed contemporary designers. I stand, diminutive, on the shoulders of many giants.

ReBirth RB-338 - Red Stripe Mod Demo

"The Red Stripe mod for ReBirth RB-338 was a collaborative effort with Thomas and Wolfgang Merkle of Bitplant. This project was organized as a branding campaign in 1999, through the beverage distributors' UK marketing agency, 5emedia, LTD.
In order to establish the fast drum roll effects, the transport is set to run at 338 BPM, and two pattern slots are required to complete a full measure of 32 steps. I had quite a few keyboard shortcut hacks set up on my version of ReBirth RB-338 which helped me quickly work around these complicated pattern arrangements."

"Physically, it is in very good shape (little bump under power connector - pictured). Functionally: the data encoder is glitchy, while every other knob is rock solid. Like most DX200's, the data encoder on mine became glitchy in the early 2000's, so I ordered a replacement from Yamaha, along with a spare. Since replacing it, it went glitchy again and I never got around to opening it up again. By glitchy I mean - turn it slowly and it mostly increments in the right direction - turn it fast, and it goes the wrong way randomly."

Miniverse Module Set Quick Look
video upload by boxoftextures
"Well they did this one backwards, it seems. Usually Cherry Audio tweets out new product teases a week in advance, then they have a 30-second video reveal here on YouTube while at the same time putting the new thing up for sale on their web site. Which is all fine! But this time there wasn't a pre-announcement (although it's possible I just happened to miss it), and there wasn't a short video reveal, or a tweet or anything. I just happened to see there was a new Cherry Audio video on here and there it was. So I bought the Miniverse Module set for Voltage Modular and made a quick Mini. And here it is.
So far I've only built a 'Mini' with just a few effects, but again, because these are modules you can do all sorts of gnarly things with them. Which I shall proceed to do over the next few days. I mean, just being able to add three more envelope generators and half a dozen more LFOs make this worth the price of admission. And that's not even counting the polyphonic Mini module versions, which I haven't even had time to try out yet. Like I said, more to come.

First 20 minutes with Oberheim OB-X8 (no talking)
video upload by manmade madman
"Day 1: I wanted to make a video of my first impressions of a synthesizer... what happens when I walk up to something I'm not familiar with? No reading the manual, no outside help or distractions, just raw wandering around with it, trying every knob and listening to what each does. I realize my distorted and dirty sound design preferences aren't everyone else's, but I haven't heard the demo that I wanted to hear out of this synth, so I made it myself.
The OB-X8 is a synth I've waited a LONG time for, and so I have some pre-formed bias towards it, but what happens when I get it out of the box, set it up, and just hit record?
This is that video.
I hope you find this useful to see and hear if it might fit into your sound.
I'm sure it will inspire me to make a bunch of patches, like the Moog One and Prophet-10, and countless others before it. I'll make more musical content, if you like this and people ask for it.
This was recorded in stereo, but it is mostly mono because of the default voice panning which is set to mono. I didn't discover the 'page 2' Spread feature until after filming. There are some subtleties with the Vintage knob that might play into its stereo field.
No audio processing whatsoever, as demos should be™"

Deckard's Voice + Rachael - by Black Corporation
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"Deckard's Voice is what you get when you take one voice from Black Corporation's 'Deckard's Dream', a well known 8-voice tribute to the legendary Yamaha CS80, made famous by Vangelis. Its name refers to Deckard, played by Harrison Ford in 'Blade Runner'. The lack of polyphony is compensated by the Eurorack ecosystem and lots of CV i/o. So I added Arbhar to my setup to layer up some 'fat pads'. However, an important part of the CS80 sound is the ring modulator. This is where Rachael comes in - and where the fun begins. I like Deckard's Voice a lot, but I absolutely love the combo."

"I developed this web app in 2001 and published different versions until 2009 with loops from various friend artists. Playing audio in good quality on internet and controlling volume in realtime was still quite rare and not yet self-evident. I also made a few standalone versions for PC/MAC. On the last online version I did around 2005 you could load your loops, record your mix and play a mix saved on the server. But it never passed the BETA stage, because a web agency engaged me for a larger project and I was too busy the following years."

On the last online version I did around 2005 you could load your loops, record your mix and play a mix saved on the server. But it never passed the BETA stage, because a web agency engaged me for a larger project and I was too busy the following years."
How does the sound of the OB-X8 compares to an original OB-X?
video upload by Oberheim Official
Oberheim Official OB-X8 Comparison posts
"Marcus Ryle, co-designer of the Oberheim OB-X8 and an Oberheim engineer from 1980 to 1985, walks through all 32 of the factory presets on his original OB-X to demonstrate just how faithfully the new OB-X8 reproduces each one.
All examples are recorded direct in mono, without EQ or effects.
The new OB-X8 — true Oberheim sound. Listen and judge for yourself.

Miniverse Module Collection | Cherry Audio
video upload by Cherry Audio
"Miniverse Module Collection, new for #VoltageModular and available exclusively at https://store.cherryaudio.com/
The Miniverse Module Collection is an expansion of the Miniverse virtual instrument into 14 flexible modules for use with the Voltage Modular platform. It retains all the classic tone and mojo that made the original Mini great while freeing users of the fixed “hard-wired” limitations of the original.
Like the Miniverse synthesizer and other Cherry Audio/MRB releases, the Miniverse Module Collection components have been expertly adapted to the modular workflow. Award-winning synth designer Mark Barton's (MRB) proprietary DSP coding reproduces every sonic nuance, every curve, and every response of the audio based on the original hardware. In addition, polyphonic module versions of the oscillator, mixer, filter, glide, contour, and VCA sections are included for up to 16-voice polyphony via poly jacks.
The 14 module Miniverse Module Collection includes:
• Miniverse Oscillator super accurately replicates the famously brawny sounds of the original Mini. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Filter is a 24dB/oct, lowpass filter based on the famous transistor ladder filter. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Glide module allows notes to slide smoothly from one pitch to the next and Mini's unique glide unique asymmetrical glide characteristics are accurately emulated. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Mixer is a four-channel mixer, usable with audio or CV signals. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Contour is an ADS envelope generator used to dynamically shape note volume, filter cutoff, or any other voltage-controlled mod destination. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse VCA replicates the unique mojo of the original Mini circuit. It's usable with audio or CV signals. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Noise faithfully replicates the noise section of the original hardware with white, pink, and red noise generators. • Miniverse A-440 module replicates the Mini's unique tuning reference oscillator circuit.
The Miniverse Module Collection is available exclusively from the Cherry Audio store at an introductory price of $39. A 50% discount is available for customers who previously purchased the Miniverse instrument. For those new to the Voltage Modular platform, it's fully compatible with our FREE Voltage Modular Nucleus Edition, with no operational limitations. A free seven-day demo of Miniverse Module Collection is available."

THE HISTORY OF EARTH OBSERVATIONS by HIGH SKIES
LYRICS (Subtitles)
(Planet Earth)
Houston what you’re seeing is the Western Hemisphere
Looking at the top is the North Pole
In the center, just lower to the center is South America
All the way down to Cape Horn
I can see Baja California and it appears now that the east coast is cloudy
Okay for colors
The waters are all a sort of a royal blue
The clouds of course are bright white
(Bright white, bright white)
The Southern Hemisphere is almost completely clouded over
And up near the North Pole there’s quite a few clouds
And a long band of various cirrus clouds that extend straight out across the Atlantic

Knobula Kickain : The Last Kick Drum Eurorack Module You'll Ever Need
video upload by Perfect Circuit
"Check out even more details about the Kickain here : https://bit.ly/3S9BzQ2
Pick one up for your own rack today : https://bit.ly/3oDmE2T
Offering a dance floor staple with spectral mixing capabilities, Knobula's Kickain is a combination of a highly sculptable 909-inspired kick drum and stereo processing for internal and external mixdown.
This powerful module can wrangle your whole mix into a pulsing dancefloor HEATER, and isn't just limited to kick sounds. Percussive thuds, clicks, hats, and snare sounds are also achievable, and when paired with the on board reverb, the Kickain is a percussion sculpting POWERHOUSE."
99bpm Dubby Chill [with a Sweet Hybrid Setup!]
video upload by Electronisounds Audio
"Track Recording Date: 07/26/2022
Tempo: 99bpm
Key: Fminor Pentatonic (Yes, AGAIN! lol)
DETAILS:
Fully hybrid setup with Polyend Play as the main sequencer as well as playing back drum samples and lots of chord samples.
The iPad is connected to an audio interface that has midi in, and i'm sending midi to miRack for the main kick and main snare sounds, as well as loads of percussion, fx and the 2 main evolving pads/texture sounds - all coming from miRack.
*ALL SIX* Individual Outputs from the iPad's audio interface go to six individual inputs on the Eurorack FX System!! I am processing ALL of the miRack sounds through real-world Eurorack !!
The Syntakt provides a LOAD of sounds, from the main bass to chord stabs to percussion, all being sequenced from the Play via midi!
ALL AUDIO is being fed into a 1010 Bluebox mixer/recorder where i'm mixing, doing some gentle EQ and compression, and recording the track. The track was then loaded into Soundforge audio editor and I ran it through my Favorite: Waves L3 Ultramaximizer plugin - to get the track levels a bit more glued, consistent, even and to make the track louder!
I then sync up the audio/video manually in my video editor: Luma Fusion on iPad.
Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"

"Korg N5 series really underrated machines - especially in video demo area - there are more than 1000 sounds but all demos are showing boring & overused electro pianos & organs
When N5 capable on much much more - great pads/string/ambient atmos/leads,basses & yes - arps!
Cause this synth having good arp!

07 28 22 Serge Paperface '78 - Étude 01
video upload by batchas
"This is a patch with the Serge Paperface ’78. The Sequential Switch (CGS boards) in the Scrotum Lab panel is also in use. As well as a Penrose Quantizer.
1 main sequence from TKB + 1 sequence from Sequential Switch for transposition mixed together and sent to a Quantizer. The ouput of the Quantizer is sent to the Dual Analog Shift Register.
Dual Analog Shift Register outputs go to 4 oscillators. 4 x NTO and 2 x PCO.
The oscillators are sent to filters. Filters are modulated.
The outputs of the 2 Serge mixers are mixed and recorded on one stereo track.
External reverb and delay are added to the stereo track."

Generative music algorithm plays Roland MC-707
video upload by Richard Horsman
"This new algorithm generates midi note, volume and controller data on 8 channels, one for each Roland MC-707 track. Note events occur when circles traverse the 3 horizontal lines. Volume changes occur when circles are destroyed in the black hole. Controller data and additional note events are generated by tracking the last notes played on some of the channels. Every aspect of the algorithm is probabilistic.
Designed and coded by Tony Horsman (my Dad)"
And one from Sep 12, 2021:
MidiPathFollower - An experiment in generative music creation (MC-101 and Eurorack)
"The artwork that I'm currently working on takes your eyes on a journey. My Dad suggested that the journey be travelled by a 'playhead' that makes sound/music when it hits 'notes'. This is the outcome. As always, it's a work in progress. Playheads work their way around a path/map, making decisions in real time as to which way to turn. When all notes have been reached a new map is drawn. The code that I wrote in Processing is running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 720x720 Hyperpixel Square LCD attached. It's generating the visuals and the MIDI data that's being sent to my Roland MC-101 for the guitar sounds then on to some effects in my modular rack."

6Hr Challenge - Write a Track using only OB6 Programmed sounds. #sequential #OB6 #retro #synthwave
video upload by Orano Music
"This Track was done in 6 hours, set myself a challenge to write something fresh, but retro, went with the Boom Box Era and had some great fun with this.
Each and every melodic sound is from the Sequential OB6, each sound Programmed from Init patch, recorded into Ableton Live one by one, and mixed in Ableton too.
Drums are a mixture of samples imported into Ableton Drum Rack."
