Is This The Weirdest Groovebox Ever? It's Definitely Fun

video upload by EZBOT

"In today's live stream we take a look at the Polyend Play +. The Play + is a generative sequencer and sample player with a built in 8 voice synthesizer that does things in a very unique way. Polarizing as some of the features may be, there is nothing like it on the market.

I've paired it with my Octatrack for and my performance template to take it for a test run to see how well it can improvise music on the fly.

"1993 Ensoniq ASR10 keyboard sampler and full production power house. No wonder these are so celebrated, very fun and easy to use. You'll be producing tracks in no time, without a computer. This unit is in great working condition, we'd give this a 6 out of 10 cosmetically. All buttons, keys and sliders operate as expected. Includes AC power cable and boot disk."

Demo ONE - 90s House Dream - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by Yves Big City

video upload by Isotonik Studios

AVAILABLE HERE: https://isotonikstudios.com/product/9...

"Step into the rhythm and soul of an era with the "90s House Dream" sound pack, a curated collection that pays homage to the golden era of house music. This pack takes you on a journey back to the Summer of Love and the hallowed halls of the Hacienda, where legends were made and the house beat was born.

The Birth of a Movement: A Story of Rhythm and Unity

In the heart of the 90s, the Hacienda became a beacon of musical innovation. It was here, amidst the ecstasy of the Summer of Love, that house music found its heartbeat. This sound pack weaves the tale of this vibrant era, capturing the essence of the legends who shaped the sounds of the dance floor.

Featuring Tracks Inspired by House Music Icons

The soulful chords in this collection echo the deep, emotive style of artists like Frankie Knuckles, whose mastery at the turntables earned him the title "Godfather of House."

The deep, emotive leads resonate with the artistic spirit of Larry Heard, also known as Mr. Fingers. His innovative approach to deep house brought a level of sophistication and emotion to the genre, elements that are carefully replicated in these sounds.

In the experimental sounds of the pack, the influence of Kevin Saunderson is evident. His blending of techno with house pushed the boundaries of what the genre could be, a legacy that lives on in the innovative sounds of this collection.

Cabinet Simulator

"'Cabinet Simulator' effect added to the Shaper section.
Video shows parameter settings to be equal to the Big Sky's Cabinet filter. But all three controls can be adjusted to the desired amount of High, Mid and Low frequencies.
2xSAM is used to bring the modular levels down, so as not to overload the Big Sky, and bring it back to be the same volume as FX AID."

Modulation by 2xADSR and Feedback Modules LFO, Sequenced by Keystep Pro. Headphones or good monitors recommended. Recorded direct to Tascam DR-05, no other mastering just a little normalization.

Korg Polysix (1981)

video upload by Ticco Ross

"Korg PolySix Custom White with Reverse Keys:

The Korg Polysix is a vintage analog polyphonic synthesizer that was first introduced in 1981.

Korg developed the Polysix with an eye on the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, trying to provide some of the features found on the more expensive synth in a compact, reliable and much cheaper design.

With one oscillator per voice and six voices, SSM2044 4-pole voltage-controlled filters, unique Korg VCO design, awesome envelopes and analog effects, the Polysix sounds fantastic.

The white panel of this Polysix was made by synthronics.de and the inverted keys come from a pair of Korg Poly 800, although the origin of those original Korg grey knobs remains a mystery to me."

New Eurorack Distortion - December 2023 edition

"New month, new modules.

This month, distortion!

Some are tube, some aren't. It's a mixed bag. But it's interesting to hear tube up against diode to remember how the vibe changes. There are some here that are warm and fuzzy, and others that clearly just want to rip off your ears and throw them in a blender.

So don't crank your volume right away...you'll find out the hard way that I've put no limiting on the audio here....

Demon Seed - Noise Apocalypse

video upload by circuitbenders.co.uk

"Every year we make a pedal to donate to the raffle prize fund for the local Christmas Covers Southsea gig, where various idiots play ridiculous cover versions to raise money for Rowans Hospice and Music Fusion. This year its the Demon Seed!

The circuitbenders.co.uk Demon Seed is a fuzz / distortion / frequency shifting / 8-bit / lo-fi / filth pedal that makes noise in industrial quantities more than sufficient to made deaf people weep.
It utilises the Holtek HT8950 voice changer chip that was designed specifically for use in toy robot voice changer megaphones. The HT8950 converts the analogue guitar signal to 8-bit digital, applies 6 selectable types of frequency shifting or a weird robot arpeggio effect, and then converts the digital signal back to analogue again.
Before someone points it out, yes this pedal was to some degree inspired by the excellent Death By Audio 'Robot' pedal, but with the addition of several features that the HT8950 chip offers but the Robot pedal doesn't use. The Robot is the original HT8950 pedal. All hail Death By Audio!

This demo was recorded using just the Demon Seed pedal and and a clean amp simulator. You'll have to forgive the inability to play the guitar.

We may well have some of these available in the new year."

KeyStep Pro - What's new in the 2.5 firmware update (and how do you use it)?

Buchla Sili Con Cellosax Model 298 By M.E.M.S. & Associates

video upload by Source Of Uncertainty

"A lengthy deep dive and demo of the Sili Con Cellosax module. I cover its functions, what it does within the specific patch it was designed for, and then I present an adaptation of the patch and perform with it using a guitar.

More information about the module: https://modularsynthesis.com/mems/298...

More information about The M.E.M.S. Project: https://www.memsproject.info/"

See the link above for additional info.

"This module detects musical phrases defined as continuous sound followed by a short period of silence It starts by counting musical phrases 1 to 7. They are indicated by the appropriate LED at the end of the phrase. After the 8th phrase the Go LED indicates and the mode switches to generating a Response pulse, End of Response pulse, and a Delayed End of Response output.

If silence is detected in this mode for approximately 15 seconds the Time Out LED indicates as a warning that this could be the last phrase. If silence continues for approximately another 15 seconds the Last Phrase LED indicates and the Response outputs no longer function.

Any new phrase detected either during a Time Out or Last Phrase reinitiates the Go mode where the cycle repeats. A System Initialize is required to restart the Phrase Counter."

At last: the Krell Patch on a Frap Tools modular system!

video upload by Frap Tools

"It's time to confront ourselves with a pinnacle of modular synth techniques: Todd Barton's Krell Patch.

Inspired by Bebe and Louis Barron's soundtrack for the 1956 sci-fi film "Forbidden Planet", this patch revolves around a 'modulation feedback': a single LFO drives the whole patch and triggers many S&H circuits that generate random voltages, which, in turn, constantly modulate the LFO speed and shape.

Original track from the film score: [below - also see this post]

Patch Tuesday | Compare 2 | Comparing Sequences

video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"Welcome back to Patch Tuesday, a video series where we demonstrate the endless possibilities of the Joranalogue system!

Have you ever wanted to accent specific notes in your pitch sequence? This week, Frits explains how to easily do so with Compare 2.

Mult your pitch CV sequence, send one copy to your VCO and another to Compare 2's input. When the pitch CV is within your chosen window, a gate is generated. You can use this gate to, for example, open an extra VCA. This way you can create a send/return effect path that's enabled whenever the target note is hit."
