Solo1 - 5 Solos for Simple Slopes by Doug Lynner
video upload by Doug Lynner
"5 Solos for Simple Slopes is available at https://douglynner.bandcamp.com/album...
5 Solos for Simple Slopes was composed and performed with severe module compliment limitations to make the point that creativity and musicality can flourish on a small system and indeed can be enhanced by the experience, especially if you have a large system that you have established a workflow for.
For me, the 'Small Modular Aesthetic,' the term I use for this part of my work, is a healthy change-up that I find refreshing and immediate. To use only a single simple patch for multiple pieces extends this even further by necessitating a deeper exploration to find multiple unique voices from it."

Roland S-50 from 1986 | Amazing sampler!
video upload by Espen Kraft
"The Roland S-50 sampler from 1986. A little Fairlight system on its own. RGB monitor output, the DT-100 digitizer tablet, individual outputs and 4-part MIDI multi-timbral and Director-S sequencer.
It's still one great sounding sampler. I always preferred how the Roland S-samplers sounded, over any other sampler brand. I still do.
Today you sample one sound, and stretch it out through the entire keyboard, and reap the sonic benefits. That's how I use my samplers in 2022.
The DT-100 digitizer can only work with the S-550 and 330 if you hook it up through the RC-100 remote controller. And no, the S-50 does not work with a mouse as the two modules.
The S-50, S-550 and S-330, along with the S-10 are the pinnacle of 12-bit 80s sampling in terms of sound in my opinion.
* I say in the video that in addition to the RGB out you have a composite out as well. It's not a composite, it's a MONOCHROME output for a b/w monitor, tv etc."

"Suzuki TO-37R analogue keyboard. Very rare (especially in this condition) vintage polyphonic keyboard from the early seventies. The keyboard section has strings flute and oboe available separately or in any combination and vibrato can be added. Additionally there is an analogue drum machine which offers the typical rhythms of its era (these can be selected simultaneously for hybrid patterns). A mix control allows you to adjust the relative volume between the keyboard and the rhythm and there is a three position octave switch. The keyboard also has a built-in speaker and is mains powered.This example is in perfect working order"

"Recently serviced, with new power supply, replaced memory battery and filter capacitors, and more. There is a mod switch on the back which allows switching to an alternate sound set, but I don't think it's working correctly, so I just keep the switch in the normal mode. As common to these units, the sliders can be a bit stiff to move, but they work fine. There several other cosmetic blemishes, which do not affect performance.... please review all the photos. Only about 500 of these units were ever made."

Xtal (Aphex Twin Cover) - Played with the Nord Drum 3P
video upload by Jannis Le Wolff
"👾 In this video I'm playing Xtal by Aphex Twin with Nord Drum 3P sounds only. I've always loved this song, also for its particular sound design, and this is my little take on it.
The whole arrangement is controlled via Ableton Live, using the KMI Softstep 2 and Novation Launchpad Mini as midi controllers."

Complex oscillator comparison - Cosmotronic vs. Hexinverter
video upload by John Schussler
"Unlike the Verbos and Sputnik complex oscillators I looked at last time [posted here], which are fairly straightforward, the Cosmotronic and Hexinverter complex oscillators are...definitely more complex.
They both add phase modulation to the wavefolder, and include more elaborate modulation buss control. Plus more intermodulation capabilities.
They're set up sufficiently differently that a direct feature-by-feature comparison would be hard to do in a sensible way. Or in under 3 hours. So this is really a long, meandering, very skip-around-able video to sample both flavors.
And when you're done, go listen to the Verbos and Sputnik. It's an interesting comparison.
Sequence: Stochastic IG. Envelope: Zadar
00:00 Intro
00:20 Vortex sequence
21:38 Vortex drone
28:28 Mindphaser sequence
47:22 Mindphaser drone"
