Sequential Trigon 6...... A Beautiful Instrument

video upload by J S H G

"I recently acquired a Sequential Trigon 6 and I'm loving. The synth has a few things that are WTF functions. But overall it's unreal. And the Bones of it are amazing. It's a joy to play from the init patch on. Enjoy this little jam I came up with. The Sequencer holding down the main line. A little Vahalla Verb on that back end."

"I love this synth and I feel like no one talks about the power of its virtual analog and filters because the wavetable stuff is so nuts. My pro 3 is playing a chill little sequence on top. Let's Party."

GREAT CONJUNCTION FM sequencer & synth - say what!?!

"GREAT CONJUNCTION has been released and will be produced in small batches. You can get on a waiting list here:

In this video I will try to describe to you, in non-technical terms, the project I have been working on for about a year and half - GREAT CONJUNCTION.

I edited about an hour of rambling down into about five minutes of compressed, stream-of-consciousness brain trash for you to decipher."

S-4 Explorations: MOD

video upload by torso electronics

"The modulation engine in the S-4 is a powerful tool for shaping sound, transforming basic tones into rich, deep soundscapes.

The S-4 FW v1.0 currently has 3 different modulators, with the potential to be upgraded with many new types. What kind of modulator would you like to see in future updates of the S-4?"

Custom Korg R3 synthesizer plays almost alone

video upload by Jake

"In this small track, I used a combination of modulations generating multiple random arpeggios. The 4 LFOs are used to vary the pitch of the sequences played by the 2 motion sequencers. Finally, timbre #1 plays an arpeggio in ALT mode. This results in a semi-random evolution of sequences as well as sounds.At 2mn 20s, I put in the video a photo of the sketch explaining in general the architecture of this patch in order to help those who wish to program this fabulous instrument a little more in depth

The KORG R3 was used extensively for the production of my new album

Step Sequencer Meditation

video upload by Jörg Schaaf

"What I really love about #Eurorack is the fact, that you can quite easy built your own desired feature into a little module and use it for your #music. Here I used the 960 sequencer in combination with the #deltacepa 2 and built a little module to create #cv controllable #gates for the clock #oscillator output of the #stepsequencer. It seems like, I should design my own step sequencer. If you listen focussed you will notice, that two #sequences are running simultaneously. They are running at different speeds. So the sequences will drift out of sync a couple of times and running together again. This gives a nice atmospheric shift. stock footage from #pexels .com"

ALGO Quad Complex VCO by RYK Modular

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"RYK modular did it again. ALGO is a quad complex stereo VCO that will serve both the beginner as the advanced sound explorer.
ALGO's four oscillators can be used to create complex FM or additive sound textures (chords, pads, organs). A unique Algorithm Display gives an idea of what affects what, and it looks great. In a typical 4-Operator scenario, you can use M1 to M4 CV to modulate the volume of each voice, but you can also switch to FM mode and unleash chaos.
The module uses the 'sum of sines' technique to sculpt new sounds, but you can also use Warp and Fold to do traditional waveshaping and folding.

The module offers detuning, chorus and a built in VCA."

Moog One - Epic Split! who says it can't do plucks?!

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

I have read in so many forums regarding the Moog One's Lack of attack and punch in the envelopes, this split patch aptly called 'SM Epic Split' consists of sizzling bass on the left of the key bed and searing pluck on the right.

Anyone who wrongly believes the moog one to lack in punch especially for plucks , keys & leads can listen to this. it is just as snappy as any other synth I own.

Enjoy!

"The myTRACKS does more than just work as a stand-alone unit. It also makes a great MIDI controller. Here we use Ableton Live, and select the myTRACKS as the input over USB-C. We load up Native Instrument's Massive X synthesizer, and assign the levers and knobs to parameters on Massive X. Then we have Ableton Live play a simple beat we can play notes and tweak the Massive X synth while recording.

Patchin' with PrssPnt and Ch.Svr | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"0:00 Intro
0:11 Manual Sequence Sample & Hold
1:47 Multi-Source Filter Modulation
3:02 Clock Subtraction
4:47 Digital Sandwich Dissection
6:38 Zone of Post-Binary Sequencing
9:39 Manual Sequencing

The PrssPnt music synthesizer module is a controller in which several signals are generated by touching the printed copper wire at the bottom of the instrument. Touching PrssPnt, you become part of the circuit, generating a total of four simultaneous signals (two CV, two Gate).

The basic function of PrssPnt will be familiar to anyone who has used Pressure Points or 0-CTRL. It could be seen as a single “souped-up” channel of one of these devices. Since it is a single channel, the tuned voltage outputs are not relevant, and instead are replaced with more playable sensitivity controls and alternate pressure and gate outputs.

• Momentary Gate output remains high as long as it is being pressed
• Toggled Gate output goes high and low with each successive press of the plate: press it to make it go high, press it again to make it go low
• Pressure output generates a positive control signal proportional to the amount of Pressure applied, further tailored by the Sensitivity Panel Control
• Smooth Touch Function recreates the useful patch of sending a Pressure Output through a carefully tuned slew limiter for extended function generation
• Turning up the Slew amount will allow for larger than life functions with very long decay to be generated by hand.
• All four outputs available simultaneously"

"All knobs and no menus, an FM synth engine with hands-on control

Introducing ALGO, from RYK Modular

ALGO's four oscillators can be configured in series or parallel combinations, to create Complex FM or additive sound textures.
A unique Algorithm Display indicates the signal flow from one oscillator to another - easy to understand FM with pretty twinkly lights !

01:30 – Alien Torture sounds ! Batumi modulating oscillator harmonics, and cross modulation amount

01:53 – Dual ALGO Dub action. RHS playing the chords with various tweaks to the amount of cross-mod and harmonics. LHS used for the bassline. Sequenced by split seq on M185, 3xFEG envelopes modulating the internal VCAs of the ALGOs

03:17 – Dual ALGO Pam's sequence. Pam sequencing pitch and harmonic offsets on RHS ALGO, also slower melody notes from LHS ALGO. 3xFEG envelopes modulating the internal VCAs of the ALGOs

04:14 – Conclusion Drone !!"

"ALGO's four oscillators can be configured in series or parallel combinations, to create Complex FM or additive sound textures.

A unique Algorithm Display indicates the signal flow from one oscillator to another - easy to understand FM with pretty twinkly lights !

Each oscillator has controls for Level and Frequency, allowing easy adjustment of FM timbres, no menu diving snorkels needed.

Modulation inputs for Frequency or Level for each oscillator - patch in a couple of Envelopes, and you have an instant FM synth voice.

Bored of Sine waves ? A generous Wave Warp control bends things through Triangle to Pulse wave and back again.
Wave Warp can be applied to Carrier, Modulator or both types of oscillator.

For the more discerning mangler, Wave Folding is also available in three delicious flavours; Symmetric, Asymmetric and Soft Clip !

A Global Detune spread control with CV input is great for creating Netflix apocalypse drones that descend into the abys.

Lastly an onboard Stereo Chorus can add a vivacious 1980's shimmer to all your FM creations.

Oh, nearly forgot. It's Stereo !"

RYK Modular Algo improvised play with friends

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"My first play with the RYK Algo FM module. Using an 8-step loop from the Oct Tone, a bit of delay from the Milky Way, some reverb and cassette saturation from the Chroma Console. I then foolishly threw in a VCO from the Batumi II through the Sqwk Dirty filter and sequenced from the meloDICER, all of which I'm using for the first time. I'm not sure it gels all the time, but I was having a lovely time exploring."
