The One Ring Theme on Roland RS-202 stringer
video upload by MIDERA
"Some friends are swapping gear and using my place to swap as neither live near each other... so right now I'm sitting with a Roland RS-202 for a bit (don't worry, I was allowed to test it out and provide feedback).
As you may know - I also have a Yamaha SK30 that I can't seem to bring myself to part with. And of course I figured why not see how they compare. Once they were next to each other, I could really tell where they differed. I would say the Roland RS-202 is 'silky' and has a very pleasing sound to it. The Yamaha SK30 is a bit harsher I guess. But they're very very different in almost every other way.
The RS-202 has basically no controls except 'tone', a few switches for brass or string sounds, vibrato, and sustain. It does have a wonderful sounding ensemble effect with two settings.
The SK30 has an envelope for the shared single filter on the polysynth, an organ section, tremolo and ensemble effects (they don't sound as good as the RS-202 ensemble), a fairly complex and robust routing system, detuning, and my personal favorite, the solo section which is a really nice sounding single VCO monosynth.
Also, the SK30 is like 3X bigger than the RS-202. I really dislike how large the SK30 is.
Well, here's all I could think to write, and it's not even mine. It's from the Lord of the Rings... but I'm guessing you knew that.
I used the Strymon Volante pedal and Eventide Blackhole VST."

Keystep 37 + Moog Minitaur + Analog Rytm + Rhodes = DAWless Jam!
video upload by Jeremy Parker
"I just put together this cool little DAWless setup for coming up with tunes, jamming, and even practicing over changes. The Arturia Keystep 37 is the sequencer and controller for the Moog Minitaur, so the basslines can be held down, while I'm free to play on the Rhodes MKIII EK-10. The Elektron Analog Rytm MKII is the drum machine and provides clock to the KeyStep. Overall, this is a fun little rig, and a good way to come up with ideas and just have fun."
Desert Songs - Biodata to MIDI
video upload by Love Hultén
"Desert Songs uses Plantwave - a small device that translates biodata from organic material into MIDI. It's not magic and the plants are not composing, it's simply biofeedback creating true organic 'randomness'. Tiny changes in electrical current - the plants act as variable resistors. Cacti was used for this project due to their very sparse and sporadic activity. The cacti garden includes a few different specimens hooked up to probes, and outputs for individual plants can be changed as you go using patch points upfront. The MIDI signals are sent to a Korg NTS-1 for simple waveshaping and then drenched in atmosphere using the Microcosm from Hologram Electronics. To complete the biolab environment look, a custom MIDI visualizer was made mimicking chloroplasts under microscope."

KORG PSS-50 Super Section SN 006658
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Korg PSS-50 Super Section basically is a drum machine groovebox with 40 preset patterns and 8 interchangeable fills/ endings, making 16 of "your very own" variations storable. Variations are composed of drum sounds, bass and accompaniment, each volume level being separately controllable. The membrane keys, offering 12 different types of chords, can be used to transpose variations to different pitches.
One of the best features of this machine is the backing chords, which kind of sounds like an Omnichord, or a nice Casio chord, but with a lot more control, and variation because each chord can be played 12 ways (MAJ, MIN, 7th, DIM, AUG, etc..)! It has a very nice, warm analog feel to it. It has a bunch of different rhythms and styles ranging from Rock, Reggae, Latin, and Heavy Metal.
The bass drum, snare, rimshot, open/closed hihat, hi/lo tom and handclaps sound like early PCM samples, just with their own, peculiar charm. The warm, analog-like bass and chords synth sounds could originate from a simplified subtractive synthesis similar to the Korg Poly 800!
FEATURES:
• TONE GENERATORS: RHYTHM x 8 (bass drun, snare drum, high-hat open, high-hat close, tom high, tom low, handclaps)
• ACCOMPANIMENT (piano, electric piano. honky-tonk piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, jazz guitar, banjo, brass, synthesizer, organ, strings)
• RHYTHM PATTERN: 48 pattems (8 beat I-II, 16 beat I II, new wave, electro pop, disco I-II, rock'n roll, boogie. ballad I-II. hard rock I-II-III, heavy metal, jazz waltz, 4 beat I-II. big band, fusion I-II-III-IV, bossanova. samba, cha-cha, mambo, merengue, latin rock, reggae I-II, 2 beat. 3 beat, march, folk, country, bluegrass, shuffle 1-11, break & ending x 8)
• ARRANGEABLE AREA: 16 Patterns
• CHORD: Maj, m, m6. ,m7 ,m9, 6, 7. Maj , 9, dim, Aug, sus4 on, each root (C — B)
• PROGRAMMABLE BANK: Song bank x 8 (maximum 80 bars/bank). Song chain
• INDICATOR: Chord name display, Song/pattern display, conductor display, Chain step/bar number, Song number Pattern number
• MIXER: Rhythm volume. Bass volume, Accompaniment volume, Exrernal input volume, Stereo volume"

Creepin' around
video upload by MIDI IN
"A creepy tune for a dark and cold January Sunday evening.
As you can see, I've worked within 6 channels with MIDISID as an external instrument so that all of the audio can be captured from the back of MIDISID in one take.
I sat down last night with no ideas but after a little messing around we were almost at this stage. A little more tweaking today."
Eventide Micha | Tone Row Sequencer
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"* Reupload due to a major melodic minor error.
A quick patch for a lazy sunday. I recently got the Eventide Micha and it looks way more complicated than it is, so it's just a matter of applying power, patch gate/CV and off you go. For best results (chords) you may want to get yourself a VCO with polyphonic midi capabilities (Poly Cinematic, BitBox, Vector Wave) but these are rare. So for equally best results is also cool to use the chord outputs to modulate the timbre (or any CV input) of a clever VCO like the Loquelic Iteritas Percido.
Micha is a sequencer, but a weird one. Instead of playing notes, you'll play intervals. Now it may not be obvious how cool that is, but it will exponentially expand your musical vocabulary. For me, storytelling is very important and with Misha you simply press a 'plus' when you want to raise some tension, and a [minus] when you want people to relax. Misha works with tone rows, which basically comes down to moving through notes and chords in a scale. So you simply pick a scale and start improvising.

Ambient sounds of outer space | Neutral Labs Pip & Nijel, Blue Marvin, Deckard's Voice | (20 min)
video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek
"Thanks for watching!
I made a 20-minute soundscape video that sounds like the 70s and 80s depiction of music from outer space. Everything is coming out of the Blue Marvin's stereo output, as I don't have any VCAs. Here is the list of modules I used and how they play into the function of the piece:
- Neutral Labs Pip (Clock and CV output)
- Instruō Harmonàig (Quantizer (random melody generator in A Phrygian))
- Instruō/Divkid øchd (overall modulation to a bunch of parameters around the patch)
- Black Corporation Deckard's Voice (Main oscillator on the eurorack side)
- Serge by Random*Source Variable Q VCF (Filter to which Deckard'd Voice is connected (VC F and VC Q parameters modulated by øchd))
- Neutral Labs Nijel (Drive effect for Oscillator 3 in Blue Marvin 2600's Sine Wave, the amount is modulated by øchd's slowest LFO)
- Behringer Blue Marvin 2600 ( 1st and third oscillators, various modulations and internal spring reverb)
In Ableton, I have Valhalla Shimmer on, Other Desert Cities by Audio Damage, and some light EQ and compression.

'Sonic X-Voice' - Human Vocal Patch from our Klaus Schulze Tribute video with Sonic XV Eurorack VCF
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"This Patch of The Week shows how the vocal sound was created that featured in the Klaus Schulze tribute video. It uses the Sonic XV Diode Transistor Ladder Filter for both it's band pass filter, and it's built-in wave folder. Patch sheet at the end of video, plus a download link for a PDF version with notes further down the page. Musical Tribute to Klaus Schulze: https://youtu.be/VA-Io4jVKbA
The Sonic XV is a surprisingly flexible multimode VCF - it can do the kind of aggressive, screaming resonance chaos that you'd expect from some of the famous diode filter-wielding synths of the past, but it's also particularly good at softer, delicate sounds, and having a well-featured wave folder on board gives it a much wider scope for tone-shaping. This, coupled with it's fast response, and simultaneous band pass, 6dB and 24dB low pass outputs, makes it a great choice for fast melodic sequences and percussion sounds. It's character is significantly different than that of the Minimoog-based Transistor Ladder Filter, and compliments it nicely, even if only used for it's wave folder to feed other VCF's.

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.
Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

Patch notes:
--------------------
Green dots show approximate pot and switch positions. Pots and switches that do not have green dots are not used in this patch, and should be left at their zero or off positions.
DH-ADSR: As we are using the inverted output here, it will constantly be sending a +8V signal to the LIN-CV of the VCO (therefore raising it's frequency/pitch) until it receives a gate signal, at which point it will follow the envelope settings, starting from an output of 0V. This is why the VCO will need re-tuning to match other instruments used, but preferably after you are happy with the amount of envelope to pitch influence you have dialled in. Dual LFO: The Tap Tempo VC-LFO module could also be used here in the same way, as it also has a built-in VCA (level control). Sonic XV: Small differences in wave folder settings can make a big difference to the sound, so it'll probably require some fine-tweaking to get the ideal timbre. I have added some resonance in this version, as it can help to simulate the tone of a human voice, but this is of course subjective - all voices are different. Band pass is definitely the best filter type to use, as it can remove both high and low frequencies that would be beyond those produced by a human voice. Modules used from left to right: DH-ADSR Envelope, Dual LFO + VCA, Vintage Transistor Core VCO, Sonic XV Diode Filter, Contour Generators, Discrete Cascaded VCA."
230122 - Jamuary 2023 - SmplTrek Ether Gaming
video upload by ChrisLody
"So here's an interesting thing to mess around with, sampling electromagnet noise from gaming devices with a Soma Ether and then making a tune with it.
Fairly self explanatory, apart from the fact that I had to mime to bits at the start where I am recording the sounds from various gaming devices. The Soma is super sensitive so it was picking up my lights and camera when I tried to record under them so I actually captured the audio stood in the middle of my studio in the dark.
The recordings were added to the SmplTrek then tuned and looped on the hardware itself. In the case of the DS I used the new auto chop to drum kit feature and then added a decay envelope to each slice, pitched them, panned them etc.
That's about it."
ELKA DRUMMER ONE COMPARISON CHAPTER II
video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia
Part 1 here
"Once again we have the unique pleasure and privilege to own two Elka Drummer Ones.
These two units are very close in sound - and sound amazing to our ears.
The snare is powerful and punchy, the kick deep as a river in a valley :)
These machines have a unique internal architecture - they're literally crammed with circuitry compared to similar drum machines of the era.
The secret to its sound is the routing of each drum sounds signal path before being summed by the master volume amp.
We've had quite a few of these units by now and have noticed that they vary in sound and in circuitry.
The circuit boards don't always mount the same components.
The rhythms themselves differ - if you take a look and listen to our first Elka Drummer One Comparison video you can hear that the patterns are different from one unit to the other.
The lower shelf unit is for now sale on our Instagram page and Reverb shop. It's our beloved studio puppy and it needs to go while we're keeping the golden rimmed one because of it being a bit more rare than the silver version.
Watch the end of the video for a quick run through of the machine sitting in the middle, the rhythm box that succeded the Elka Drummer One :
The Elka Rhythm Machine.
Some of the magic is missing here - the sounds are flatter and more generic - not bad at all but definitely not as amazing. The front panel is very similar to the Elka Drummer One - the amount of rhythms correspond except for Afro being added and Rhumba spelled with an H."
