"Here we have the mega characterful stereo morphing filter based on the already characterful Korg MS-20 filter circuit with added stereo VCA and oodles of extra saturation on tap … meet PROCYON from EON AUDIO DESIGN.

This is the first module from Eon but Noé behind the company is no stranger to module design and Eurorack having worked at Instruo for the past few years (he still works there too). In full support of Instruo and with help from the Glasgow Synth Guild who build these modules Eon have released Procyon which is out now. Procyon is a stereo input and stereo output morphing VCF and VCA combo with flexible routing and modulation options, plenty of saturation and ways to manipulate your audio. Check out the timing index below to skip around with plenty of patch examples and things you can try for yourself.

Procyon is available here with further info and the manual etc // https://www.glasgowsynthguild.com/sho..."

Buchla Tiptop 296T Demystified


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I must admit I made the same mistake twice. When I bought the Frap Tools fumana, I assumed it was like an EQ. I never really gelled with it. When I got the 296T, I even posted it was like an EQ. In this video, I knew the bands are resonant and colored. I posted a V1 a few days ago, but took it down. It was all about me not liking the 296T because it sounds thin and nasal. I tried all kinds of scenarios, added filters, etc, etc to compensate for the sound and in the end I concluded it's not suitable as an end-of-chain processor. But I wasn't enjoying myself at all and it was all over the video. You could get the impression the 296 wasn't any good. This is absolutely not the case.

This V2 is basically the same footage, but with a different attitude. While going through all of this, I realized the 296 is designed for vocoding and spectral transfers. Sure I knew all that, but knowledge alone doesn't make me wiser. It's the experience. I noticed that the frequency bands on the 296 focus on the vocal range. It will always sound like a vocoder, even without transferring colors and envelopes from sound A to sound B. I already made a 'robot voices' video with the Fumana and the 296, so I've linked it to this video.

Happy patching!

Dynacord VRS 23 / analog BBD delay and reverb

video upload by ohm_studi_ohm

"UNIT IS FOR SALE HERE: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305722769747

quick demo of the Dynacord VRS 23 "Vertical Reverberation System", an analog BBD delay and unique stereo reverb. As a bucket brigade device delay, the VRS23 is among the best sounding ever produced (listen to those very long yet defined repetitions).
But what makes it truly unique is the reverb mode, which is a true stereo reverb (circuitry is double inside the unit to produce the reverb mode).
I used a Roland SH-101 as a source but the unit sounds great on any material you can provide."
