"Comes in box with all materials. Updated to most recent firmware. A weird and wonderful tool. Many of the demos make it sound rather harsh, and it can do that, but it is also capable of warm, melodic, conventional soundscapes. You can tune the keys any way you like. This feels like playing an acoustic instrument, yet the sounds take you to electric planets. Light touches on the modifiers feel godlike in their sonic transformation."

Paperface 50 | Serge Origins

video uploads by Cinematic Laboratory

Playlist:

1. Paperface 50 | Serge Origins | Episode 01 | Visual Language

This is the first video of a seven episode playlist. It features the Paperface 50 'Helios' and 'Tempo di Roma' panels which are part of the 50th anniversary release and updated by Serge himself. These are the designs that started it all back in '70-71.

Serge used pre-drilled grid panels where all kinds of DIY circuits could be added. The front was made of a paper template where you could write down your labels. Commercial designs followed, where the typical flowchart symbols were used. This video tries to explain what they mean.

I will not be doing more 4U videos because this channel is focused on eurorack only, and focus is important. However, I recently committed to a lot of Serge euro modules and the Paperface started this fever. I was completely unfamiliar with Serge except for his contribution to Maths. So this is a bit like an 'origin' story and a tutorial for those who are interested in Serge. All episodes can be used to learn what the Eurorack modules have to offer.

2. Paperface 50 | Serge Origins | Episode 02 | OSC and OSC+

The Helios panel has two VCO's, named OSC and OSC+. The extended VCO also features a pulse out with PWM and three noise outputs. They have three (3!) 1V/OCT inputs, where two are attenuverted. The Sine outputs have a waveshaper CV. Simple, but amazing and really powerful for all kinds of modulation scenarios.

3. Paperface 50 | Serge Origins | Episode 03 | Smooth Stepped Generator

The SSG is one of the most versatile utilities in modern synthesis. At first glance it's just a triangle wave (smooth) and a sample/hold circuit, but it can perform a lot of different tasks. The SSG also has a modern V2, the GTO.
So this video may be of some use for new SSG and GTO owners in 4U and 3U.

4. Paperface 50 | Serge Origins | Episode 04 | Noise and Feedback

I didn't expect too much from this episode, just filtering a bit of noise, triggers and self-oscillation on the filter. But it made me understand why Serge is so often used to make feedback patches. I am aware I am only scratching a huge surface here. Feel free to share your feedback tips in the comments so we can all benefit.

5. Paperface 50 | Serge Origins | Episode 05 | The Rhythm of Rome

My borrowed Paperface 50 also features the Tempo di Roma panel, a clever classic sequencer featuring two 4-step sequencers, each with three rows of CV values (roughly equal to notes), a gate row when a stage is reached, and stage selectors that double as keys and length controls.

It also has an 8 step gate sequencer, two bidirectional temporary sequential switches and one bidirectional alternating switch. Finally it features a logic circuit that can output the Min or Max of two CV values (Peak and Through).

It may be a powerful sequencer for 1970's standards, but it's really classic and vintage in the digital 21st century. However, it's also responsible for that classic vibe you will not find on modern sequencers where everything is perfect.

6. Paperface 50 | Serge Origins | Episode 06 | Waveshaping

This episode is about the original Serge Triple Waveshaper, that can be used both in series as in parallel. They are three identical rectifiers, capable of turning basic waveforms into many different complex shapes, or turning complex shapes into more basic waveforms. Since the Helios panel doesn't have a dedicated VCA, I found a way to use a waveshaper to turn the filter into a convincing low pass gate. I don't think I've heard this trick before since most Helios videos are 'legato'. But maybe everybody knows this already :).

When I started this video I had a 'problem' with working with raw sounds and scopes. I don't want to be such a channel because it also gives the impression that I have a technical background. I don't. So I turned it into a Symphony for Orchestra and Waveshapers. In C minor. It's actually quite fun to 'score' a noisy VCO.

7. Paperface50 | Serge Origins | Episode 07 | Integration

This is the final episode of the series, where we'll go from 4U Banana to Eurorack and back. I was expecting a lot from this episode because i could finally add a quantizer and stereo effects. Sure it worked like a charm, but it also took away a lot of the magic and purety, degrading the Serge to 'just a bitg module' in a larger collective. I think I understand now why so many 4U users don't add too many bells and whistles and listen to all the little details hiding in the waves.

Variable Bandwidth Filter - Final revision first sounds | Low-gain Electronics - 4U Modular Serge

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Literally just fired up the Variable Bandwidth Filter… haven’t even calibrated it. Just ran a 50% pulse info it and did some simple sweeps and modulations from the Dual Slopes Compact and VC Filter/Oscillator. Eventually I take the Hi-Band output and feed it into the second input and it gives you resonance control. Fun part about that is you get 6 sources of feedback to choose from! The Hi-Band output provides some nice drip! Can also provide a bit of crunch and overdrive as well depending on your control settings and modulation sources.

There is a little clipping from my phone interface. Sorry about that.

Assembled modules, DIY PCB’s and Panels available very soon!"

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.

Moog Matriarch and DSI Pro-2 | A meaningless endeavor

video upload by MIDERA

"I had this grand vision. I've got two cool paraphonic synths with CV and all sorts of cool ways to manipulate them. The brain was the Pro-2, it has gate out and 4 CV outputs and you can sequence with it in so many ways. These two were destined to be... but, not really in my hands, because I spent way too long trying to get the Pro-2 to trigger the sequencer of the Matriarch and it just wasn't happening. Ever. I never got it to trigger the sequencer to advance. Sometimes it would sort of half-trigger it, but then self-trigger anyway as well, so it didn't work. Anyway, I never figured it out, hooked up MIDI, recorded whatever the hell all of this is, and walked away. I don't know enough about CV. I don't know enough about modular stuff. You know, someone mentioned on a forum how you can do this and that - but they only half explained it so I couldn't actually figure out how to achieve what they were doing (apparently something about the noise inverting the signal and you can feed it into something and get some cool effects).

Anyway, here this is. A meaningless endeavor. The two synths shall be dismantled soon."

"In June '24, Jamaica Street Studios, Bristol, raised over £100k to buy their building as a community asset! As a near neighbour, with friends in the studios & being a strong believer community ownership, I've made a batch of 12 JSS Weevils to help!
They're screechy & experimental buggers ;)
I made many different Weevils early in my BugBrand days - they're a simple circuit with circuit-bent features - power starve & touch plates."

BugBrand Weevil Module

via BugBrand

"Back in the Old-Blues days, I tried to port the Weevil design into the modular format but it was a challenge.. The circuitry of the regular Weevils is really very simple & the chaos comes from circuit-bending (an unconventional approach!) – the difficulty was how to add voltage-control features to this simple circuitry (modular approaches are quite a bit more involved). So while I did a design back then which was enjoyed by bug-users (SYN1 Weevil), I never thought it quite captured the chaotic sonic worlds of the ‘true’ Weevils.

For a few years I put the Weevils to bed, but have recently come back to thinking on them – so, looking again at modular approaches, I’ve come up with something that I feel works things a bit differently and, while it still feels a bit different from more regular/simple Weevils, it offers a whole host of chaos & noise.

See the block diagram!

First off we have the power starvation core – this unfortunately couldn’t viably be voltage-controlled. Turn the Starve dial fully clockwise for regular/full-power usage. When starved, everything goes a bit nuts, everything interacts & we get to much more noise-based areas, though note that all outputs pass through circuitry to ensure they remain ‘full-strength’ (all are 0V to +10V). There is also a Stable switch which adds a little smoothing – it isn’t exactly stable, but it is more-so/different.

There are two voltage-controlled oscillators ranging from c.0.5Hz to 20kHz from the front panel (they can go slower with external negative CV). There are CV inputs with depth controls & polarity/mute switches for each Osc plus a CV Both input which affects both Oscs. The Oscs track 1V/Oct reasonably well, but are not temperature compensated, nor do they have the best high-frequency tracking. The two Oscs interact a little, especially so when starved. Each Osc has an independent banana output + LED indicator.

The basis for Weevils was a simple cymbal noise-source generator which quasi-ring-modulated square waves together for richly (en)harmonic tones. Here we have a first RM combining the two Oscs, followed by a second which mixes RM1 with an external signal which has passed through a drive/squaring circuit so that it matches the Weevil-core (inc. starvation). This audio input is quite level dependent so do play with the Drive control – you can also input gates/clocks/etc. to the input which can generate some interesting behaviours when using Starve. Note that without an input signal, the output of RM2 will appear quiet (ie. it isn’t silent, but it isn’t regular amplitude).

All in all, the Weevil Module is inherently quite chaotic compared with my other module designs – that is, I feel, its strength & interest! Experiment, feed different signals in, feed outputs back into CV inputs, etc."
