Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - First Contact (with text typos)


video upload by SynthAddict

"Arecibo Answered - The end of the Fermi Paradox (if aliens landed/contacted us) :-)

NI Maschine+ and Moog Theremini (difficult to play with gear interference) Familiar intro to 'famous' aliens, quickly turns dark, as I’m sure plenty of aliens would enjoy some dark/creepy/moody music. :-)

The Arecibo messaage contains a few prime numbers and one semiprime.
semiprime =1679 bits long (210 bytes)
                 = 23x79
23 rows in the transmission
73 columns in the transmission
*for my jam I tripled the 23 to get 69 as my global jam tempo*

Ugh, and I ran out of time to fix my text insert typos and re-render the video... :-("

Bio Instruments - String Filter & Crumar - Per Note Sample Sounds - Mark Steiner


video upload by Mark Steiner

"Demo of layered new sounds (and then brief solos) that are new additions to my Per Note Sample collection for wind synths.

1 of these is an 8 octave per note sample of Analog Saw Waves played through Nyle Steiner's string filter. Ah, and the VCO happens to be from a Steiner Synthesytem Module.

The other 6 are samples per note from a Crumar EVI.

All made for wind synth.

Played on Johan Berglund's wonderful NuEVI."

NEW Electronica Jam For Spacing Out 🌌 Buchla Modular Synth, Octatrack, TD-3, and Nord Modular G1


video upload by The Galaxy Electric

"This was spacey jam involving the Buchla style Modular 200 series, Octatrack for sequencing and effects, TD-3 for stabs, and 1979 Stereo Microsound Processor for Clouds based textures. Jacqueline's vocal chain is a Pigtronix Infinity Looper v1 fed by two Boss RE-20s and a Shure Beta 87C mike. This is a spacey ambient stream that gets a little lazer-y and wubb-y at times."

Sequential Trigon 6 - GEOSynths Synthesizer Review


video upload by GEOSynths

"I recently bought a Sequential Trigon 6, as I've made multiple Banks for both the Prophet 6 and OB6, both of which are fantastic Synthesizers. When they announced the Trigon, I knew I'd have to get one and while there are certain Headlines, such as the "Ladder Filter", for me there are others elements that I love about it, which are not featured on the Prophet 6 or OB6.

Here I give an Overview of the Synth, go through the Workflow, have a little more detail on the Filter and highlight some of the Patches I've already made for this fantastic Synth."

Sequential Prophet 5 + 10 INHALT Factory Continuum Patches Demo


video upload by INHALTVIDEO

"Instant download of these patches here:
https://inhalt.bigcartel.com/product/...
2023 marks the 10 year anniversary of my sound design employment with Sequential. To commemorate this occasion I created a very special library for my favorite analog synth-the Prophet 5. Of all the Sequential synthesizers I've worked on, I feel like the factory patches I made for the Rev4 are most exhibitive of the INHALT sound (particularly patch 1 of the factory bank).

Following in the footsteps of the factory patches I made that ship with the Rev4, I decided to develop this continuation add-on library: "Factory Continuum". What's presented is a full group of 40 patches in the definitive INHALT style of usability and elegance. Basses that sit seamlessly against a kick drum, deep pads and strings, a plethora of classic and cinematic suspense patches and even some drums for good measure. They all have that special sound that only the Prophet 5 (and 10) is capable of delivering and many take advantage of the added velocity and aftertouch controls for ultimate playability.

This patch library overwrites group 5 of the preset banks so if you have patches saved there, make sure to back them up before sending this library to your synth. All of the patches are compatible with both the Prophet 5 and 10 Rev4. This is an instant download."

Boris from Joranalogue Spills Patching Secrets! See what he Revealed at Perfect Circuit


video upload by Perfect Circuit

"Boris from Joranalogue came by to reveal the shocking truth: as it turns out, you can make some pretty sick beats with a modular synthesizer.

Joranalogue's unique approach to synthesizer design leaves a lot open to the performer's imagination. Rather than building straightforward, conventional sound sources, controllers, or processors, they instead make highly multi-functional modules that can cover a lot of different ground in any given patch. While that can be inspiring for some, it might be intimidating for others...but luckily, Boris is here to show us the way.

In this demo, Boris shows how a number of their modules can interact to create everything from evolving sound design to high-controlled rhythms and beyond. If you're into super powerful, performable modular synths—and hey, who isn't?—then you're gonna want to take a long hard look at what Joranalogue is doing.

The Brooklyn Bridge - A ride with original music


video upload by CatSynth TV

"We take a ride over New York's iconic Brooklyn Bridge, starting on the FDR Drive in Manhattan and ending in Downtown Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883 as the first span crossing the East River and the longest and tallest suspension bridge at the time. It is still instantly recognizable with its stone arched towers and unique cable system.

This Is A Test - The Wizard's Hand prototype - ambient energy to cv translator


video upload by Mountainking Electronics

"The Wizard's Hand is part of a group of designs called bio-intergration interface devices. These devices have come about as a result of my ongoing search for not only new ways of using our physical bodies to control and effect electronic musical instruments but also finding ways to tap into and use the ambient energy fields that surround our bodies to influence these instruments.

The Wizard's Hand works by sensing the effects our bodies have on the surrounding electrical and electro-magnetic energy fields and translating those effects into a varying control voltage. It is an organic device who's sensitivity and effects can change from day today, place to place, person to person, etc, etc. The user needs to learn to "feel" the energy fields surrounding the Wizard's Hand through the use of intuition to "lock in" on these subtle energies and gain better manipulative powers over them.

In the video the Wizard's Hand is plugged into the pitch cv input on a VCO. There is a toggle switch that switches the signal at the OUTPUT jack from the Wizard's Hand circuit to the EXT IN jack. With nothing plugged into the EXT IN jack moving the switch to the EXT position allows you to instantly disconnect the Wizard's Hand from whatever you have it interfaced to. This is demonstrated in the very beginning of the video. The Wizard's Hand has two knobs, one called SLEW, this adjust a "glide" or "portamento" type circuit which the control voltage that comes from the Wizard's Hand is sent through. There is also an OUTPUT knob, this allows you to attenuate the CV signal that is available at the OUTPUT jack when the accompanying toggle switch is in the W.H. position. There is also a toggle switch that allows you to limit the maximum cv level to 5v dc. Lastly, there is aì toggle switch that allows you to switch between the Wizard's Hand putting out a varying control voltage or an on/off gate signal.

The Wizard's Hand is an experimental device and as such will require more testing before the circuit is finalized.

If you would like to purchase the Wizard's Hand or have any questions please email me:

"KSR have carried out a service on this Xpander in February 2023.

Remarks: Much has been written on these incredible synthesizers and it's understandable when you use them as they really can deliver a thick analogue wall of sound, and are perfect pad and brass sources just for starters.

The Xpander lineage includes the Matrix 6 and 12 and is a fully midi configured, 6 voice Polysynth - an excellent addition to any analogue set-up and has to be heard to be believed. he Xpander offers a deep programmable architecture for those of you into tweaking but can also be a very user-friendly hands-on preset machine. This means they sit between that digital and analogue medium perfectly and are arguably the best of the hybrid technology of the early to mid-1980s.

This example is a USA built unit that works perfectly, and as mentioned above, has just been fully serviced by KSR. The cosmetic condition is excellent, as you can see from the pictures below, with only minimal wear and marks to the painted surfaces."

"A beautiful condition Roland Jupiter 8 (12bit model) - Serial Number: 161512, which has been retrofitted with a Groove MIDI kit.

We are always very happy to sell any Jupiter 8 and this one is an excellent representative example that has MIDI as well. What can we say that hasn’t already been written about the JP8…honestly, nothing new. However, we’ve seen relative values for this flagship vintage analogy poly-synth climb sharply in recent years, so they’ve become unaffordable to most people, which is a real shame.

The overall condition is excellent, with far less than he normal amount of wear we would expect to see on a synth this age, so this example has been very well cared for throughout its existence. The photos below tell the story, but even the base of this JP8 is in great shape."

"I play all the presets live via my MIDI keyboard (KOMPLETE KONTROL S88) and I go from one preset to another sometimes using the Multitracked Mix, a very useful potentiometer which allows to slide from one patch to another in Any fluidity !

All sounds and effects come from Korg Radias, I don't use anything else. The effects are simply extraordinary, it is Korg's famous Multi-Engine, the same as the Prologue !

This synth is particularly suitable for making music Trance, Ambient or Retro Music."

5 "complex oscillator" tricks with the 258t & 257t - Buchla & Tiptop Audio


video upload by Stazma

"Support on Patreon to get samples from this session: https://www.patreon.com/join/stazma

Since the Buchla and Tiptop modules are in Eurorack format, there is now no separation between audio and control voltages like the 4U Buchla modules. So this let us (ab)use some of those modules to perform tasks they were not supposed to perform.

In this video I'll use the 257t, that is supposed to handle control voltages, to process audio rate signal only, combined with the 258t Dual VCO, to create some sort of a complex oscillator; or anyway something inspired by the modulation bus of the 259 module."
