Beautiful Pads on the UDO Super 6

1. Beautiful Pad on the UDO Super 6

Another video using this beautiful looking & sounding synth. A small amount of Valhalla Shimmer added to make it sound even more epic.

Korg DW-8000 NEW patch bank 2022 | 64 Glossy/Lo-Fi/Hybrid patches

video upload by Espen Kraft

"A brand new 2022 patch bank for the Korg DW-8000/EX-8000 and the plugin FB-7999.
My previous bank has proven to be a huge success and I build upon that bank with more texture and complementary patches. Some Lo-Fi, some glossy, but all of them highly usable and ready to work in your music and productions. Patch bank is is a sysex format and it' a full bank of 64 patches.

Find the patches here:
https://sound7.co.uk/products/dw-8000...
https://sound7.co.uk/products/dw-8000...
https://thepatchbay.io/product/korg-d...

In the demo I've used some external reverb when the text overlay say so. It's the Valhalla VintageVerb. All delays are coming from the patches themselves, and the digital delay of the Korg DW-8000 itself, which was the big selling point back in the day.

If you're wondering how to get the patches over to the DW-8000 you can watch my tutorial video:

Unpacking a Hinton PinMix rack (Jun 13, 2012)

video upload by batchas

"Unpacking Hinton PinMix which belongs to a friend.
Musique = Batchas"

An interesting side note is that Hinton will build the PinMix according to your specifications. You can find different formats on their site here, including Buchla, and what appears to be a larger 6U version. The PinMix has been mentioned in a couple of posts here, including this one featuring a precursor to the PinMix.

RK002/RK006 Sequencer Combo

video upload by Retrokits

"We already had the 'Split Brain Preset' on the RK006, but with the latest RK006 firmware there is also an option to add a MIDI FX chain into it. We use it to integrate it with our RK008 but it's also a perfect opportunity for the RK002 to do some magic.

Amongst the multitude of RK002 DUY firmwares here's one which turns the Korg Nanokontrol into a 8-step sequencer. Combined with the RK006 different port modes you can make a nice hybrid setup between MIDI and CV/Gate.

Here we mix&match the TR-606, Neutron and eventually the TR8s and Digitakt."

T2K-VCF Transcendent 2000 Eurorack Filter Adaptation by G-Storm Electro

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2022

T2K-VCF is a Eurorack modular adaptation of the Powertran Transcendent 2000 analog filter. Wavefolded material sounds phenomenal on this, coming from Capt'n Big-O. Op Amp gain compensation means no loss of bass frequencies even at extreme resonance settings. Resonance will self-oscillate and produces a nice aggressive sinewave alone. With some coaxing you can track the self-osc w/ v/oct.
At the end you'll hear the filter output going into a phaser and delay.

Sound sources | Capt'n Big-O + GSE 101-VCO
Envelope | GSE 2xADSR
Phaser | GSE Polychrome Phaser
Delay | FX Aid
Recorded direct, no other mastering or effects.

Check my Reverb store for T2K-VCF availability and other cool modules http://reverb.com/shop/gstormelectro"

"Introducing the T2K-VCF: an 8HP analog circuit adaptation of the lowpass/ bandpass filter from an obscure 70s monosynth – the Powertran Transcendent 2000.

T2K-VCF is a 2-pole CA3080 OTA design w/ CA3140 op amp compensation at each stage.

Translation = no loss of bass frequencies even at extreme resonance settings. Resonance will self-oscillate and produces a nice sine wave alone. T2K-VCF will fatten up routine oscillators - transform boring square/pulse and straight ramps into curvy vixens dressed to kill. Wavefolded material sounds phenomenal on this.

FREQUENCY | the initial Cutoff Frequency of the filter

RESONANCE | the depth of the peak frequency resonant feedback

IN1 & IN2 | Mix together 2 different audio signals, each w/ their own mix pot.

KB | Modulate the Cutoff Frequency w/ a V/oct signal or any other polar/bi-polar mod. Self-oscillation resonance will track v/oct loosely, but you will need to tweak the Initial Cutoff Frequency (Tune) and the KB amount knob (width tracking) to get there.

CV | Another Frequency mod can go here, range is greater than the KB input.

SHAPE | Select between LP lowpass or BP bandpass filter output w/ this mode switch.

OUT | the audio output jack of the filter

Includes a 10-pin to 16-pin Eurorack ribbon connector

Specs
8HP Module width
24 mm Module depth
14 mA on +12V
25 mA on -12V
0ma on 5V (not used)

The T2K-VCF pairs well with:

Wavefolders or VCO/wavefolders – Cre8Audio Capt’n Big-O, Dannysound Timbre

GSE 2xADSR – use envelope CV for some deep bass modulation

GSE Polychrome Phaser

Delay Effects – Happy Nerding FX Aid"
