Hexinverter - VCNO

video upload by NOISEBUG

"This is the Hexinverter VCNO, a rather unique noise oscillator. The VCNO generates its noise through a pseudorandom sequence of bits using discrete analog hardware. The first half o fthe video show the filtered noise outputs used to synthesize chiptune-esque percussion sounds, while the latter half showcases the gate output of the VCNO into a sequential switch creating rhythmic bursts.

The VCNO is available now on our website and our Reverb shop!

Motas-6 being triggered by Czochralski Cells

video upload by Petajaja

"just a quick patch I made on the motas just to show an example of how much more than just a monosynth the Motas-6 really is.

all the sounds you can hear are from the motas other than some crappy bbd delay (that's actually better than a much more expensive one I had haha)

using the czochralski cells pulse outputs, I'm triggering different envelopes in the motas as well as clocking various sample and holds in its advanced mod matrix which then goes on to control the filter, the pitch of the AM of osc 1 amongst other things that I've now forgotten (boy can patches get deep on this thing!)"

Bébé Chérie by OTO Machines

"Bébé Chérie is a 6-channel stereo analog mixer with a one-knob compressor and a Bliss enhancer on the master bus. https://www.otomachines.com/product/b..."

"Bébé Chérie is a 6-channel stereo analog mixer with a one-knob compressor and a Bliss enhancer on the master bus.

The first 4 channels offer a variable input gain (up to 34 dB) with an asymmetrical diode clipper for smooth and musical distortion.
The Tilt pot is a simple yet powerful one-knob equalizer : boosting the lows while attenuating the highs when the pot is turned down, attenuating the lows while boosting the highs when the pot is turned up.
When the Tilt pot is in its center position, the equalizer is flat.
The rear panel switch selects the type of inputs : TRS for stereo sources and TS for mono (the signal is center panned).

The last 2 channels include a 2 bands Baxandall equalizer, the input gain can be set between 0 and +10 dB using the rear panel switch.
There’s no distortion on these 2 channels so you can use them when you want to keep a clean sound.

The compressor has a 3:1 ratio with a fast attack and a mid release times, perfect for mixdown compression.
Very easy to operate, it will give you good results with many kinds of music styles.
The Bliss pot controls a hi frequency enhancer circuit and is very useful for adding air and punch to your mix, specially when your using large amount of compression.

Whenever a channel is muted, the signal is routed to the Alternate output. You can use this output for recording purposes or for sending the channel to an external effect.

The Phones output is based on an unity gain, low noise and low distortion Texas Instruments© amplifier. This output is a copy of the master output (with compression and Bliss), so you can also use it as a second output.

Bébé Chérie uses the best quality parts : ALPS© pots, high-performance operational amplifiers, audiophile Panasonic© film capacitors, THAT Corporation© VCAs, Switchcraft© 3.5 mm connectors, metal enclosure.
The power supply is internally boosted to +/- 12 volts for pro audio headroom.

Bébé Chérie is specially designed for mixing 3.5 mm stereo Jacks sources, but can be used with any device using adapters.

Bébé Chérie is a very versatile box and can be used in many ways : mixer for compact live, analog summing for your audio interface, effect box (distortion, equalization, compression,…)

CHAOS WAVES | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Let’s make some waves!

The Noise and Chaos modes in Spectraphon are particularly well suited to sounds that are inspired by the natural world. Of course nature does contain tonal or pitched sounds, but many of the things that happen on our planet are not the results of steady oscillation, and for that reason the potentially non-periodic outputs of Noise and Chaos modes can be really useful when making such sounds.

12/13/23 (filter opening, pitch) Roland Jupiter 6 + Akai ME20A + Alesis Midiverb II (46)

video upload by Cfpp0

"Added the Alesis Midiverb II to the Roland Jupiter 6 and Akai ME20A window. It’s a bloom machine, but it’s great at reversed effects, like this reversed delay preset #46. The Midiverb II is being used in mono here. I still don’t really understand how the ME20A turns chords into these odd sequences in sequential playback mode, but when I switch to up mode it makes a bit more sense."

SynthCone PLANETOID / Shift-Line ASTRONAUT V / Red Panda PARTICLE / Experimental Music / by GIPNOZER

video upload by G I P N O Z E R

"Once upon a time, a talented cyborg lived on a distant lifeless planet. Cyborg possessed a special ability that allowed him to create noise and experimental sound devices. Thanks to this power, he was able to bring good to the universe.
The cyborg was from a distant planet and was sent to a distant planet by its creators. Its creators created it for a special mission: to bring happiness and peace to the universe.
The cyborg immediately got to work. He created sound devices that produced different types of noises and sounds. When he played the sounds, they brought life to the planet. The cyborg was able to create sounds that everyone could hear and enjoy, filling the planet with a beautiful and soothing atmosphere.
The cyborg had a special connection to the planet. He was able to feel the vibrations of the planet and knew exactly how to create harmony and peace. With the help of his sound devices, he was able to help the inhabitants of the planet connect with each other and create a more unified society.
Everyone loved and respected Cyborg. He was a source of inspiration to many, and everyone admired and appreciated his work. He was an example of how to bring peace and joy to a lifeless planet.
Cyborg continued his mission by creating sound devices capable of bringing goodness and life to the universe. Everyone has fallen in love with Cyborg, and his work will bring joy to the universe for many years to come.

Thanks to my friend and colleague Eugene Pixel for giving me a Canon 6R 4K camera for testing. In this regard, several videos will be in high resolution. Respect, my friend!!!"

Tesseract Tukra | Survival Guide

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"This is one of the toughest videos I've made so far. Just imagine a module that has 80 buttons which are all menu items, and many of these buttons have secondary functions. Many of them open one or more pages. It's huge. I noticed that reference videos don't really work, because there's no reference. It's just one big tablet of hieroglyphs. So I tried a different approach for this 'survival guide'. Since this is a production value channel, I focused on what a competitive high end drum sequencer should be capable of - and how it's done on Tukra. While I was diving into these fundamental tasks, I discovered one of the best sequencers out there, only to realize that I was only scratching it's enigmatic surface. Welcome to episode 1!"
