The Optical Sampler Sound Kraftwerk Loved Modernized

video upload by HAINBACH

"When optical sound sample players came around in the form of the Mattel Optigan, Vako Orchestron and Chilton Talentmaker in the 70s, the reaction was luke-warm. The devices were not a commercial success and quickly disappeared. But one enterprising band from Germany took their lofi sound to heart. Kraftwerk employed the Orchestron in many songs, from Das Model to Uranium. Even today its finds fans - such as Kyle Dixon of Survive, who used the iconic "choir" in their Stranger Things soundtrack. He employed the modern adaption of this arcane technology, the Quilter Labs Panoptigon. I talk with Kyle in the video, show a bit what you can do with the Panoptigon, demo classic Kraftwerk patches and introduce my own disc for this fantastic instrument.

Samples only, no internal synths used. The samples are from various sample packs I've already got, and I also found some more samples on Loopcloud. Vocals are from Loopcloud as well.

I really like the vibe of this track. 💙

This one was spotted and sent in via M Me.

"At first glance, the EL2 features a classical, subtractive signal flow. A closer look then reveals some cool oddities like unconventional filter slopes, extensively equipped modulators, a band echo simulation and a spring reverb. The EL2 features a completely discrete circuit design. Its sound is creamy and fat at the same time. Thanks to NOS components, the instrument has a nice vintage vibe. Compared to its predecessor, the EL2 offers some very useful additions. – Especially its three oscillators have been extended considerably."

Patching a modular sequencer from basic building blocks

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This is a patch with two voices playing relatively complex complementary melodies - but I’m not using a dedicated sequencer module to drive them. Instead, I’ve patched up a sequencer from scratch using a couple of voltage-controlled switches, a couple of clock dividers, a matrix mixer and a quantiser. All I need to feed in are a simple steady clock and a fixed offset voltage, and I get loveliness out. Find out how in this video!"

Chris Meyer’s trick WavPak for the ModBap Osiris digital wavetable VCO

video upload by

"need to writeThe ModBap Osiris is currently my favorite wavetable oscillator: it has high fidelity, built-in processing such as stack & detune, a suboctave, a VCA, and more. It also allows you to load your own waveforms into it.

This caused me to sample my favorite waves and tricks on my “Monster” Eurorack modular system and load them into the Osiris, so I could take some of my favorite sounds with me on the road in my travel case. I created four banks: East Coast, West Coast, Formants, and Harmonics.

I did not just sample, say, the sawtooth wave of all of my VCOs; I created patches like audio-rate waveform crossfading, processed them through tube VCAs, sent the fundamental plus second or third harmonics of a warm sine through Serge-based wavefolders and rectifiers, and dialed in my favorite sounds on the Livewire AFG, Verbos Harmonic Oscillator, and Xaoc Devices Odessa as well as different formant filters and filter banks.

As fun as the individual waveforms are, the real trick is what I did with the Y axis of the wavetables: Instead of just loading more waves, I filled them with the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th harmonic of the source waveforms. That means as you modulate the Y value, this WavPak smoothly crossfades between different consonant musical intervals to the root (octave, octave + fifth, two octaves, two octaves + third, two octaves + fifth, and three octaves). When layered with a second oscillator tuned to the root pitch - or with the Osiris’ own subharmonic - the result are musical intervals under voltage control. Used with the Osiris’ subharmonic plus its stack & detune algorithm, and now one VCO sounds like three - with custom waves!

This WavPak is currently available for free from ModBap: https://www.modbap.com/collections/wa...

Arturia Polybrute 12 Analogue Polysynth Sonic LAB Review

video upload by sonicstate

"Its a beast and as such does not deviate too far from the orginal synth in terms of the architecture. What it does have is double the polyphony at 12 voices, plus a brand new keybed which not only features Poly Aftertouch, but a new control paradigm called FullTouch which allows expression to be controlled from the moment you touch a key.

We reviewed the original when it first came out, we recommend you watch that for a deep synthesis dive. In this review we're looking at the new Keybed and FullTouch feature - it really adds some deep expression to the instrument.

The poly Aftertouch also allows for per voice morphing which really is a joy to play too (thanks to the question on Patreon by Steve Elbows on our preview video)

Another aspect is the stability of the tuning and calibration (_Truck asked about this) for 24 filters and 24 oscillators I found it very good, I only calibrated it once and didn't need to again.

Nice work Arturia, though its not what one would call affordable,I think it represents a reasonable value for money given the number of voices and features."

Roland MSQ-700 Quantisation | Highly unpredictable and fun - borderline bizarre

video upload by Espen Kraft

"Roland MSQ-700. The sequencer that keeps on giving.
I'm using Howard Jones' "Things can only get better" intro to demonstrate the quirkiness of the quantize engine of the MSQ-700. I don't play the correct chords, but I use them rhythmically correct. Played a little off-beat to test the quantize settings.

The way the MSQ-700 quantize not only the notes forwards and backwards, but also their lengths are very interesting and I've used this many times as a source of inspiration.

"This upgrade kit was made to replace the pitch bend rotary pot in the early vintage ARP Odyssey mk 1 or 2 with the later mk 3’s unique proportional pitch control pads. This kit appears to be new and is untested and being sold as is, though we imagine anyone with the skills required to install this kit should also be able to troubleshoot it - it’s not rocket science. It may be possible to install this kit in another synthesizer as well, if you’ve got the skills and knowledge to do so. People without those skills should not be attempting to modify vintage synths. We have 2 of these, search our other listings for the other."

Insane for a poly synth from the 80s. Comes with the original road case, custom wood end cheeks I paid $150 for, and a replacement battery and removable battery holder I just ordered."

Hacking the XAOC Berlin VCO

video upload by ALEQ Modular

"The XAOC Berlin is a digital VCO compatible with the Leibnitz system of XAOC. This system allows to play with bits: Interesting !

Here, I'm using the Leibnitz connectors, and two multiple from Larix-Elektro to have access to the 8 bits that generate the SAW wave.
Just because it's very simple way to convert the Leibnitz connectors into jacks !

And after, I'm explaining how to produce new kind of waveforms.

This is not a safe way to use the module. But its a good way to understand it, and thinking about acquiring some Leibnitz compatible modules, to play with bits !

Note:
The Multiple from LE is not yet available, this is a prototype originally designed to add I/O to others modules like the 4TOMS.
Shold be available after this summer.
Thanks to the LE CV Generator, and the Attenuverter Bank, from LE too...

PS:
Try this carfully: I haven't checked how the circuit is built, if the I/O of the Leibnitz connector are protected. So maybe you can damage your module...
I strongly recommande to use modules from the Leibnitz system instead."
