DIGing The Matrix
video upload by John L Rice
"I was doing a test of SSL’s The Matrix module and was liking the simple sequence and the look of the evening sunlight on the modular. Both The Matrix (voiced by the SSL 1235 Envelope / VCA Combo) and the Strymon DIG delay pedal (off camera) are being clocked by a Moon 569 sequencer with The Matrix getting a half speed and uneven number of clocks. #modularsynth #electronicmusic #sequencer"

KULT by Dawsome: A detailed demo and tutorial
video upload by CatSynth TV
"We explore KULT, a new instrument by Dawsome and released by Tracktion. It features oscillators whose waveforms are based on strange attractors, a central concept in chaos theory. These strange-attractor waveforms are presented in beautiful 2D displays, along with numerous parameters to shape them. KULT also features a complex filter section, and effects section, and arpeggiator.

"Two hearts are found beating in the chest of KULT. These independent and immensely powerful oscillators are based on the mathematical theory of chaos "Strange Attractors" - and there are more than 30 models to choose from, ranging from classical waveforms to chaotic sculptures. Innovative sound shaping options allow for organic overtones - a paradise for west-coast buchla-style synthesis enthusiasts...The sound engine of KULT represents and sculpts sound as curves in a 2D space - this innovative approach to synthesis allows unprecedented possibilities to shape the sound. The real magic when designing sounds comes from the mesmerizing visual feedback."

Isla Instruments Teases new Caladan Synthesizer
via Isla Instruments
"From now on, I shall be known as...Muad'Dib
Well, today is a milestone, everything is ready and has been sent off to fabrication to make the first hardware prototypes.
Caladan is (will be) an 8-part multi-timbral polyphonic analog / digital hybrid synthesizer.
We are carrying on the legacy of a fantastic, groundbreaking synthesizer called the 'Parva' by FutureSonus. Building on its DNA, we are putting our own twist on it to make it the perfect partner to the S2400.
Same form factor, same aesthetic (yes, same wood sides if you want)
It will bring polyphonic playback of multi-sampled instruments (SF2, SFZ, +) out of the box.
But the special sauce is the 8x expansion slots inside the case which will allow me to go completely fucking nuts with add-in voicecards.
OPL3, SID, SEM, SH-101, MiniMoog, Pro-1, etc etc... all these flavours can be realised on expansion cards and all accessed by a common UI.
Voicecards can of course be analog OR digital. The intention is to open this side of the synth up to allow 3rd party developers to create cards also.
I'm literally creating MY 'Dream Synth' and I want to take you along for the ride.
First hardware should be here in a few weeks!!
Here's a couple of renders of what the prototype will look like.
FUCKIN YES!!!!!"
Nothing but LOVE for the JUNOs
video upload by Starsky Carr
"As I have a Juno 106, Juno 6 and an Juno 60 here in the studio, I thought it was a good excuse to have a play with these 3 vintage Junos and look at the differences - functionally and sonically. And yes there are some sonic differences so now I now why Roland Cloud have both the 60 and the 106 for the System 8."

"Visit your favorite retailer or click here for more information about Univer Inter: https://bit.ly/42SarJl
Univer Inter is an 8-channel MIDI-to-CV converter, and so much more. It can be configured to send any type of MIDI signal per channel through the UI app at the new-and-improved Noise Engineering Customer Portal. If eight outputs aren't enough, chain two through the TRS jacks on the front panel. Plus UI has a tiny footprint: just 6HP.
The app is easy to use and offers tons of options. We built in handy presets to get you started but if you want to go your own way, we also include over 20 behaviors for CC, note, clocking, polyphony and more. Each output can be configured to send to whatever channel you wish, and build in custom per-output delays as needed.
We'll continue to add behaviors, but we're taking requests too.
If you're looking for a way to bring MIDI into your modular system, you'll be amazed at the flexibility and ease of use of Univer Inter."
NEW! AJH Synth Complete Systems - 6U & 9U Pre-installed Eurorack in Powered Cases
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"In response to demand we are now offering a range of ready built systems! Visit https://ajhsynth.com/Minimod.html for a closer look at what is in each case.
With each size of system we have selected the best combination of modules to give maximum versatility - of course the full configuration has been fully tested and designed for maximum productivity and reliability so that you can concentrate on the most important part of using any modular system - making music!
Putting together a complete Eurorack system from scratch can be quite a daunting prospect, so we have taken the pain out of it for you. Trying to choose the best mix of modules for maximum versatility and arranging them so that there is no unused space is often just the start of the process. We also need to find the power consumption of each module, and then calculate total power draw per rail for the chosen case to ensure the PSU can provide sufficient power without being overloaded. There is also the problem of having audible noise on the power rails from a noisy power supply, which can range from barely noticeable to unacceptable. And we didn't even mention the time it takes to put it all together, then fully testing everything to make sure it is all working as it should.
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.

Dirty Electronics and Max Wainwright's Radical22 Gets an Update
Radical22 from Max Wainwright on Vimeo.
Radical22 (second edition)
"The Radical22 goes from sharp clicks to glitchy fm to an mp3 wash to harsh noise to video game sawteeth, to silence.
The module has 64 programs/algorithms that can be selected by a control voltage. Each program has a unique characteristic and chaotic behaviour that can be selected and explored through control voltages.
The Radical22 is ongoing work by Dirty Electronics and Max Wainwright born out of the idea of Microcomputer Music: a music made from mini microprocessors and raw electronics that is always in-flux, noisy and may be overwritten."

Press Release follows:
"Synclavier Digital releases regenerated Synclavier® II trailblazer as timeless Regen desktop synthesizer bolstered by present-day DSP developments NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: soft-launched late last year to widespread critical acclaim at the Synthplex® synthesizer expo and electronic music festival hosted at the Marriott Convention Center in Burbank, CA, USA with pre-orders opening for fulfilment in 2023, timeless synthesis product manufacturer Synclavier Digital is proud to announce wider availability of Regen — released as a desktop synthesizer that is, in short, a real regeneration of New England Digital’s seminal Synclavier® II digital synthesizer that took the pro audio industry by storm when introduced in its initial incarnation in 1980 (evolving beyond that to blaze more technological trails with polyphonic sampling and, ultimately, DAW — Digital Audio Workstation — capabilities well before that term was invented, even), extended and enhanced to take advantage of the increased computing power available today to make it as compelling in a modern setting as the prohibitively pricey original did during its time (finding favour with top-tier film composers, record producers, and recording artists), while the considerable cost and size reductions associated with Regen’s present-day design criteria conversely position it well within reach of (almost) anyone — as of June 29…
Roland System 100 Modular Synthesizer (101,102,103,104) in Original Boxes

"Roland System 100 (modules 101,102,103,104)
All four pieces are VERY close to mint condition; the boxes are in excellent condition.
These items appear to have been stored in a clean, dry, smoke-free location.
The items look to have had minimal/no usage (very low hours) and no signs of wear.
Other than yellowing of the keys and wear on the boxes, no tarnish or oxidation is present.
PLEASE READ!
We acquired these items as part of a real estate sale.
In January 2023 we took the four units to a Service rep. to have them tested and serviced as he deemed necessary. Serious buyers can be given the contact # to the guy who serviced the units so they can discuss the conditions with him, if we are unable to answer questions. He said usage had been very minimal, but its age called for a deep cleaning. He inspected the units, deemed them to be in good shape and tested them. He took all the units apart, performed a multi-step cleaning, re-assembled the units, allowed a 20-minute stabilization, tune mapping, alignment processes, and tracking was done. Units track well alone as well as together. There are no meter drive issues. No repairs were done or needed. It functions as new and also looks very close to mint.
Service cost was over $1,300. Yes, we will provide the receipts and he guaranteed his work."

HEARTBEATS - The Knife (BRiES cover) / Schlappi Engineering THREE BODY
video upload by BRiES
"THREE BODY by Schlappi Engineering takes care of 100% of the bass arpeggio in this video (aka the main synth). It's very interesting to be able to get all this grit without losing the ability to turn it down for a less harsh sound and without having to worry about relative pitches of your carrier and modulators. No processing was done to the audio coming from THREE BODY afterwards (apart from some low and mid cut EQ and a smidge of compression).
The sequencing for the bass (and part of the higher pitched arp and hihats) is done with eurorack sequencers, I recorded the main part in one take (which I recorded). The poly synth stabs were created with my own plugin PLL-102 (which you can buy as part of my VST pack 'SYNTHS one' on the Decent Sampler webshop).
There's no play-back going on in this video, everything you see happening was recorded live and used unaltered (apart from gentle eq, some compression and autotune - Melda Productions MPitch - for the vocals).
Your boi BRiES takes care of 100% of the singing (which I autotuned in this version of the upload) so be prepared for some vocal cringe.
I spent most of my birthday recording the audio and video for this cover. It's something that I've been wanting to do for a long time (recording a cover where the main part is taken care of by a eurorack system). The song 'heartbeats' (the José Gonzales version) popped into my head a few days ago and I just had to give it a try.
To whom it may concern:This is a cover of the song 'Heartbeats' by The Knife. This video isn't monetized nor is it sponsored (no one is making money off of this video). All rights to the song and lyrics are reserved to The Knife."
