Moog Mavis Is A Spectactular Eurorack Voice - Here's Why!

video upload by Patchwerks

"In this stream we will explore why the Moog Mavis is both an excellent standalone synthesizer and a fantastic eurorack module.

Shop the Moog Mavis here: https://bit.ly/moog_mavis_synthesizer

Mavis is a build-it-yourself analog synthesizer kit that delivers the huge depth of sound Moog is known for in a compact and feature-packed instrument. Assembly is extremely simple; users of any skill level can quickly assemble their own analog synthesizer with minimal tools and experience. Perfect for first time users and established synthesists alike, Mavis’ semi-modular design and 1-octave keyboard will get you started making sound immediately without the need for additional equipment (except for a speaker or headphones).

As a stand-alone instrument, Mavis is a straightforward analog synthesizer with patchable modular utilities and the unmistakable Moog sound and quality. Easily remove Mavis from its case and it becomes a 24-point CV controllable module (44HP) ready to be installed into your Eurorack system or alongside Moog’s other semi-modular instruments.

HYDR SYNF by NYZ

Originally released November 4, 2022 available as limited physical edition CDr & name your price abridged digital on Psøma Psi Phi =>

pspsph.bandcamp.com/album/hydr-synf

HYDR SYNF is a sixty-four minute drone monolith, coaxed out of the Ashun Sound Machines Hydrasynth - the newest smoke signal from Cootamundra, and the first Noyzelab recording at Psoma Psi Phi since the MYZTRYZ assemblage in May. Like many of Burraston's drone recordings, HYDR SYNF exists in a state of minimalism and maximalism simultaneously, allowing the listener to determine (by way of their volume dial) how much or how little of it to fill the room. HYDR SYNF, for its part in this relationship, works beautifully both ways, as a quiet intimate hum to dot the corners of the wall with, or as an immense structure that is dense enough to dissolve those walls, and replace your surroundings altogether. Noyzelab recordings are like no other, as many frequent listeners here will no doubt attest, in their ability to remove axiomatic information from the world they inhabit. There are no longer discernible directions in space or time, and after long enough of a sustained runtime, it becomes possible to dispense with space and time entirely.

Recorded on 19th January 2022 at Noyzelab using ASM Hydrasynth Desktop. Mixed 2nd August 2022 at Noyzelab. Text and design by ABM&D. This is NYZ-XX, #20 in the NYZ subcatalog at Psoma Psi Phi. David Burraston and the Noyzelab logo appear courtesy of Noyzelab.

"Heligoland" - ambient improvisation with @Lanthan O'Ide

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Some weeks ago, @Lanthan O'Ide embarked on an epic journey to the northern shores, stopping by at my place for 2 days, and we recorded no less than 4 videos (which you can mostly watch / listen to on his channel). But here's a peaceful, ambient piece played on Yamaha Reface DX / EX5. Lanthan came up with the chord progressions and I added the EX5 'melody' part later (patch is P2-091, 'Oberlead' - using the EX5's virtual analog engine)"

There is an alternative take of this on Lanthan's channel: [below] - can you spot all the differences and which one do you like more? ;-)"


video upload by Lanthan O'Ide

"Jamming together on the Reface DX and the EX5. This is another ambient track that came to be during my recent visit at @Floyd Steinberg 's place. Hope you'll like this little improv of us making music together!
================================
For those playing along at home:
The key is C major, the tempo 90 BPM.
================================
About the recording process:

We recorded this song in two steps: I laid down the part of the Reface DX first, and afterwards, Floyd added his part with the EX5.

Also, many thanks to Floyd for the mixing and editing the video!
It was also him who came up with the title 'Heligoland', and thus we included some videos from my recent trip to the island of Heligoland as B-roll."

Korg Nautilus – STR-1 plucked string sound engine

video upload by Korg UK

"Based on Korg’s history of physical modelling, the STR-1 sound engine within Nautilus uses struck and plucked string modelling to produce sounds that respond to a player’s touch in a way simply not possible with traditional PCM sound generation.

This sound engine shines at producing sounds whose tone responds to your touch in ways that are difficult for a PCM sound engine to reproduce: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, harpsichord, clavinet, harp, bell, as well as ethnic instruments. It also goes much further, allowing you to synthesize and modify sounds that do not exist in reality. This is a sound engine of the future, one that allows the synthesizer programmer to construct truly new sounds."

the mighty M.F. / 130 patches for Arturia Microfreak (vid 2)

video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)

"My thoughts on the synth & how to buy: https://sounds-for-synths.com/arturia...

No talking demo. All patches custom-made by Jexus. As you all know the Microfreak is monoaural and has no onboard FX. It sounds slightly different and more “stereo” in my demo because some of the sounds have been EQ-ed, and many of the sounds have a chorus and / or stereo delay & reverb applied (but nothing that would dramatically alter the original timbre of the synth like phasers, flangers, pitch shifters, etc). The wet / dry ratio is usually 20:80 (or 20% mix in other words), reaching 50:50 in a few patches (I used the simplest presets on a Lexicon MX). I wanted to make the sounds nice for the ear but I also wanted show the true sound of this synth without too much embellishment or experimentation.

Here's a short FX dry/wet comparison to give you an idea what the patches sound like without FX:"

The PG-800 is in excellent condition. I would assume it was the box that protected it over the years but that’s in impressive shape too.
Note:
There’s a smoke smell but only on the PG-800’s case for some reason. It doesn’t seem to follow the PG-800 around or the box expect faintly on the inside.
Some of the original patches have been modified but the good ones have been left alone. Factory tones roughly 51 and onwards are the JX-8P’s factory presets which is pretty cool.

ST Modular - CION (Function Generator)

video upload by Stefan Tretau

"This is only a short overview of the most important functions of CION and I am only scratching the surface here. There is much more you can do with this function generator.

00:00 Cycle & ENV Mode
01:04 Cycle & LFO Mode
01:47 Using External CV
02:56 OSC Mode
04:00 Processing External Audio"

CION is something of a jack-of-all-trades. It can be a CV AD or ASD envelope, a basic filter, a distortion effect, a slew limiter or even a voltage controlled oscillator with waveshape.

The function generator offers an ATTACK and a DECAY potentiometer, which represent the attack and decay times, the positive or negative slew time or the rising and falling edges of an oscillation, depending on the application. There is a CV input for ATTACK and DECAY. The rise and fall times are individually voltage controllable, but they can also be controlled together via the AD input. A shape knob lets you change the CV curve from exponential to logarithmic. The time range per cycle can be as fast as 3ms and last for up to 20 minutes depending on the position of the RANGE switch.

The TRIG socket is used to start the envelope via CV. This can also be done by the press of a push-button.Connect any signal (CV or audio). to be processed to the INPUT jack. Insert a gate signal to add a sustain stage to the AD envelope.

If no external signal is available to trigger the envelope, the function generator can be set to loop mode by the CYCLE switch. When the switch is active, the envelope starts again from the beginning as soon as it reaches the end of a cycle. The CYCLE CV input activates or deactivates the cycle functionality depending on the switch position.
