Nymphes 6 VOICE ANALOG SYNTHESIZER ( IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE THESE SOUNDS )

"Nymphes is a 6-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer that was developed during the pandemic, and Dreadbox hopes it will put a pinch of happiness on your face. Condensing an ambitious idea into a small and compact box, without any compromise in the quality of the final instrument, Nymphes delivers stunning and ethereal soundscapes for music productions, film and game scoring, or sound design."

System 1 Sync Bass


video upload by Rat King Modular Synthesizers

"This is a short demo of some of the sync sounds that can be tweaked from the System 1 series. These are all circuits from early days of synthesis. Most dating from the 70s."

Building a Fairlight CMI: Episode 15


video upload by Syntaur

"It's a holiday double-header, with two Fairlight episodes back-to-back!

Cris Blyth is a brave man. He has a dream of taking a Fairlight MFX and upgrading it to a Fairlight CMI Series III. In this episode, Cris gives the Fairlight a bit of a shower, then comes to his senses (sort-of) and learns to do screen printing with hopes of completing the front panel. A sneaky cheat brings on a momentary sense of elation - is the end in sight?"

M800 R2 extended Virtual Analog Synthesizer Eurorack Version by Mayer EMI


video upload by MATTHS

"In this video, I provide an overview of the Mayer EMI #eurorack module version of their amazing MD900 VA Synthesiser - the #M800 If you don't know about the MD900, it is a polyphonic desktop synthesizer, multitimbral with 4 parts. A polyphony of up to 16 voices are shared by the 4 multi-timbral parts. All of these 4 parts have their own effect stack. There is also a sequencer and sample playback ability.

What they are doing here is putting the MD900 in a 32HP eurorack module with exactly the same functionality! This is a mean feat. You don't see many modules with this type of capability!

Before this comes to market, Mayer are keen to hear your feedback. What works, what would you like to see, how would you use it etc and so this video is to open a conversation on that. Please leave any comments and thoughts below in the comments section and we will then raise these in a few weeks time as part of a live Q&A with the Mayer team. You can also join us then to chat through your ideas for the module in realtime so make sure you hit the subscribe and bell button to be notified when this happens."

Vintage Cretone Rhythm Maker



This one was spotted here and sent in via M Me.

"Cretone/Teisco Rhythm Maker, Very rare drum computer. This one has had a recap of all electrolytes, but the rhythms that come out are not correct and I think a transistor is no longer working properly, it starts to crack after a while. Amplifier section works well."

"The 252e represent a new concept in pattern and rhythm generation. 11 concentric rings, each with their own ability to generate complex patterns can be linked between another to create fascinating polyrhythms, including the built-in Euclidian rhythmic library. Three clocks drive the rings, which are freely assignable to 4 pulse and 2 CV outputs, allowing an amazing amount of flexibility to shift, cross-trigger and explore totally new musical possibilities. A rich MIDI implementation compliments the user interface that invites experimentation.

Because of all its functional options this module it offers a myriad of endless possibilities for patching throughout your Buchla system. Don's final module design is. a gas to play with!"

Sampled Kitchen Appliance Ambient Jam - Liven Lofi-12


video upload by ChrisLody

"Just for a bit of fun I thought it would be interesting to see what a jam made of non instrument samples would sound, so here is a jam just made from nothing but kitchen appliances. All sounds were recorded on a Korg SOS recorder then tuned within the Sonicware Liven Lofi-12 by playing them out loud into a tuner on my phone and tweaking the pitch.

I sampled my microwave which is used for the opening drone sound. I think there must have been some electromagnetic interference which caused the weird little rhythmic pulse that runs through it. Nice little happy accident.

The beeps from the washing machine and air fryer is kind of cheating but the result is very pleasing, especially the pitched down air fryer which take on bell like tones.

I'm especially happy with the pitched up dishwasher. The hum of its motor is particularly deep so I was expecting to use it for bass but it made a really nice melodic sound instead.

By the way the 'Typical 1990s Kitchen' image comes from a book of royalty free images. My wife has been buying them recently so they will likely pop up a lot more from now on :)"

Herzlich Labs OMEN / DUAL PASSIVE RESONANT LPG with BITE / quick playthrough


video upload by BRiES

"This is a short video demonstrating the basic sound and functionality of OMEN. There's two channels of LPG goodness which both sound really different, and you can further shape the sound with the on board switches and knobs. It's possible to use the channels seperately (for different sound sources) or to use the two channels of OMEN linked with just one signal going into the first input. You'll hear that this sounds really wonderful!

You can download the user guide poster I made for OMEN here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Opq...

Herzlich Labs hand-builds a variety of modules, but one of the things that they're extra proud of is the MMI. This module is a MAN-MACHINE-INTERFACE that lets you modulate parameters around your rack by touching the different capacative plates on the frontpanel. If you're interested in something like that you should definitely check out their Etsy or Reverb webshops (links below). If you have any questions about the Herzlich Lab modules, send LB a direct message, he's usually really quick to respond.

Herzlich Labs on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HerzlichLabs

DISCLAIMER: LB from Herzlich Labs sent me this unit to explore and demonstrate. I think it's interesting to shine a light on some makers that are not as well known as the big names in the field, as sometimes they make really great designs and usually these modules are relatively affordable. I hope that by watching the video you can figure out if OMEN is right for you or not."



"The Omen is a dual LPG with a bit more than you might be used to. Like you, I once was lost in the world of low pass gates, seeking something more, something bigger and somehow juicier. The inspiration came to me as I was reading a particularly heavy book on passive filters, and I realized it was possible to make far more interesting LPG designs than the standard we've become so accustomed to.

In a convergence of old-school LPG design and more modern components, the Omen boasts two -6dB resonant filters, custom built vactrols, built in CV attenuation and no less than three cutoff modes per filter. Filter 1 is soft and light, imparting a gentle, naturally gated touch of filtering on your sound, while Filter 2 is darker and more resonant, and can turn downright growly and distorted when left wide open.

Designed to give you as many creative options as possible, the Omen has the unique ability to function as either two discrete LPG, or as one 4-pole resonant LPG. When plugging a signal in to Input 1, and with no signal plugged into Input 2, the output will be present at both Output 1 and Output 2, with Output 2 producing the signal as it passes through both filters. Tweaking both filters independently will generate a wide array of soft and sometimes harsh tones, ranging from Buchla bongos to early synthesis brass and organ sounds. There is much to love here.

CV is similarly handled, by plugging in only one CV source, it will act on both channels - this is useful for creating musically similar outputs as well as when using the dual filter operation. However, the dual filter mode greatly benefits from having two CV inputs: use an envelope in CV1 to act as a VCA, and an LFO in CV2 to create tremolo, for instance.

Using custom designed, hand built vactrols, care has been taken to mitigate the less desirable aspects of passive LPGs - in most modules, the user can expect zero bleed through on the LPG channels, and signal attenuation is minimal even with the 4-pole filter settings engaged. Of course, many of the natural features of vactrols remain, such as subtle memory effect when engaging the vactrol for long periods.

Finally, you receive maximum blinkenlights as LED's on the front panel simulate the action of the vactrols, so you'll always know what's going on under the hood. No collection of fancy LPG's is complete without the Omen."
