1st Seqtrak + Minilab Jam

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"In my quest for an even smaller, more portable DAWless setup, I picked up the Yamaha Seqtrak and Arturia Minilab 3 last week. With only a few days working with both pieces, I was pleased with what I was able to come up with. The Seqtrak by itself is usable, and the companion app is very handy, but pairing it with the Minilab 3 makes live performances a possibility I'd say. Part of putting this together was so I could travel and still make music, and potentially jam with other people, like at Knobcon coming up. I'm pretty encourages so far, and I think I'll get quicker with everything once I really learn the Seqtrak. Audio is directly off the Seqtrak, with mild brick wall limiter for YouTube... Enjoy!"

Animated Claps And Snaps

video upload by GoldbabySamples

"Goldbaby's Animated Claps and Snaps are now available. https://www.goldbaby.co.nz/animatedcl..."

"Round-robin sampled claps and snaps. Created using drum machines, real hands and a combination of both. Recorded through tasty hardware in the Goldbaby studio.

Round-robin is a method of sample playback where you can trigger different sampled versions of the same sound each time you hit the same key/pad. This can give natural variations in otherwise static patterns.

Alternatively, you don't have to use the round-robin feature and can use a single sample if you want a steady, non-animated sound.

With ready-to-play patches for Kontakt, Battery, Logic Pro, TAL-Drum, and Ableton Live.

Pack Contents:
• 1659 x 24-bit one-shot wav samples (237 x Claps & Snaps with 7 round robin layers each)
• Logic Pro (10.7 or higher) - 237 round-robin patches (can be loaded into Drum Machine Designer)
• Battery (4.3 or higher) - 237 x round-robin patches (can be loaded into Maschine)
• Kontakt (6.8 or higher) (full version only, not the free player) - 237 x round-robin patches (can be loaded into Maschine)
• Ableton Live (12.0.15 or higher) - 237 round-robin Instrument Racks (can be loaded into Drum Rack pads), 237 x round-robin Simpler patches (can be loaded into Drum Rack pads)
• TAL-Drum (2.6.4 or higher) -237 x round-robin pad patches"

Intellijel SVF 1U State Variable Multimode Filter

video upload by Intellijel

"The SVF 1U is a state variable filter for the 1U eurorack format.

In this overview, we explore this sounds & features this neat little 1U filter. The multimode outputs, modulation inputs and input soft clip options make for a versatile VCF that can be used in a wide variety of patches - big & small."

"The perfect multimode, voltage-controlled filter for sweet-sounding subtractive synthesis duties or to form the basis of more complex patches. Punchy, clean, and precise. Explore new sounds through the dual modulation inputs and dedicated low pass, high pass and band pass/notch outputs. This filter responds beautifully to audio rate FM and you can self-patch to get even more interesting filter responses. Adjust the Q for a sharp howl or use it as a sine VCO.

Putting synths and drum machines through the MFX Pedal from ALM Busy Circuits

video upload by Tom Churchill

"The MFX Pedal from ALM Busy Circuits is a standalone version of the MFX Eurorack multi-effects module, and it’s designed to work with guitars as well as line-level sources. I’m definitely not a guitarist, but I do have a few synths and drum machines in my studio, so for this video I thought it might be fun to try putting them through it. I don’t go through all 18 programs or demonstrate every parameter, but I pick six of my favourite effects and offer some real-world examples that hopefully show off some of its range. Thanks to ALM for sending it over!"

Exploring The SPACE ORGAN! (Boogie Woogie Blade Runner)

video upload by Simon The Magpie

"I bet nobody knew they needed boogie woogie blade runner? Well the Elka x705 sure provides a whole new way of approaching these types of electrical organs. Cause it has space inside! (not literally, quite the opposite actually, hehe)

Hoping to be able to give it a permanent space in my already very busy room, just gotta try and fix all the things that doesnt work! But expect it to show up more for sure.

I will put files up from the recording I did with Horseman and my neighbor asap. Also here is a link to some Horseman music: (justgottacallhimfirstandgetalink)"

Custom Chrome Roland TR-808 w/ Decksaver Lid

This one is in via M Me.

From the listing:

"Roland TR-808 Classic 80's Analogue Drum Machine W/ Custom Faceplate - 240V

The TR-808 is arguably the greatest drum machine of all time.

This classic beast uses analogue synthesis to create its sounds and eventually become the signature beatbox used in most R&B and hip-hop as well as a lot of dance and techno music. Booming bass kicks, crispy snares and a distinctive cowbell sound made famous in the 1980's are all part of the 808 and its famous sound!

Its 16 drum sounds include the famous boomy 808 kick, snare, low/mid/high toms, low/mid/high congas, rimshot, claves, hand clap, maracas, cowbell, cymbal, open hi-hat, closed hi-hat and accent. Most of the sounds can be edited. Bass Drum and Cymbal (tone, decay), Snare (tone, snappy), Toms and Congas (tuning), Open Hat (decay). All sounds have individual volume controls and individual outputs.

Its unique sound and analogue allure has allowed it to find a long-lasting home in many forms of music. Ultimately, the 808 has become one of the more important and famous drum machines in the history of music.

Notable users of the 808 are Aphex Twin, 808 State, Kevin Parker, Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Faithless, Jimi Tenor, Dr. Dre, Jimmy Edgar, Freddy Fresh, Richie Hawtin, Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Marvin Gaye, Luke Vibert, LL Cool J, Ice Cube, the Beastie Boys, Nick Rhodes, Puff Daddy, Prince, Kanye West, Jamie XX, Moby, Herbie Hancock, Air, RZA, Liam Howlett and too many more!

This particular 808 has a custom chrome look faceplate which gives us sort of Egyptian Lover vibes (Have you seen his custom units?). This may make it difficult to use for those unfamiliar with the machine. However, we're sure you'd be able to work it out!"

GenoQs Nemo Sequencer SN 028

"Very rare and fabulous programmable sequencer. One of the most advanced sequencers ever made. Compared to it's big brother model, the Octopus, I really don't think you'll find any limitations - this will keep you busy, no doubt.

Excellent condition and includes power supply, original manual, box and packing materials. Just like new.

BTW, there is simply no software out there that I'm aware of that can produce this kind of live sequencing or that can add chords to the sequences. Even if there is good sequencing software, having tactile control of your sequences is a way better way to work."

Aly James Lab SY-4X

via Aly James Lab

Meet SY-4X
SY-4X is not only a perfect re-creation of the SY-1's inner circuit, but it also offers significantly more options. These include four units in one, trigger-controlled 'mode scanning,' CMOS circuit 'defect' control to enhance harmonics beyond the original, real-time VCF integrator cap offset for dynamic pole movement, fine-tuning envelope response to match your playing style, and additional features like Drum Kit and Keyboard Modes.

4 Times the fun
SY-4X provides four Syncussion SY-1 modules in one neat package, with some modules featuring additional modifications like noise direct injection or a Custom Mode A. The four modules allow for creating an 8-voice drum kit, four mono synths (coupled voices = 4 oscillators per module), or a four-voice poly synth (4 x 4 oscillators). You can also mix modes, such as three modules in Drum Kit mode and one in mono synth mode (keyboard controlled). In any play mode, you have full control over every voice parameter—sky's the limit!"

"Welcome back for another useful UDO hack! This time, Hazel is demonstrating how you can use the filter as an oscillator on your UDO instrument.

Hazel expertly demonstrates this on our new Super 8, but it’s also possible on any of our 'Super Series' synthesizers using the same method—give it a try!

MazeRunner | Moog Labyrinth as a controller and processor

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I can appreciate that some of you had enough of that new Moog. But it's such a fun and amazing machine and it opens up new possibilities every day I use it. In this video, it will drive MakeNoise DPO - which is a trick or treat by itself - but there's more. You can patch anything into the VCF input of the patchbay, and when it's clocked, you can animate the filter with the shift registers. When used on a simple drum pattern, you can mute, sculpt, resonate and modulate one or more drum events and turn it into a live drummer that can improvise, and bring the beat back when it's time for the drop. I'll be using Tesseract Tukra for both drum patterns and sounds. Don't let the hieroglyphs fool you, it's super easy to use when there's a Labyrinth nearby.

And while we're at it, why not go full industrial? Because we're civilized people. But not today."

Bass Bot.mod with BA662

video upload by Alexey Taber

via AMSynths:

"The BA662 is a custom made DC controlled variable transconductance amplifier (or OTA) that Roland had manufactured by Rohm from 1978 and is now obsolete and very expensive. There are two types of chip with different suffices; the A version has been selected for lower offset than the B version. They are further classified by gain/gm. The BA662B can only replace another BA662B, whilst an A can be used in either application.

To quote Roland from the 100M Service Manual: 'color has great importance in the circuits of some models'. However there is nothing mystical about the sound of the BA662, it is just a reasonable good OTA chip which is often carefully matched and selected."

And via Sunshine Jones:

"The Roland BA662A VCA chip is the Voltage Control Amplifier IC from the Roland SH-101, TB-303, Juno-60, JX-3P etc. which is a part of what makes it sound so wonderful. These can also be found in the Jupiter-4, the Jupiter-8, and MKS-30,50 and 80. They have counterparts – The Roland BA662B (B stock versions of the A) and also a cousin IC the BA6110 which is similar, and looks virtually identical under a scope, but the power comes from negative rather than positive, and so it won’t work exactly the same way."

Isobutane - Fogfields, 2006

video upload by Isobutane

"There were times when my only piece of equipment was the Yamaha RM1x. While going through some old floppy discs I’ve came across some really old tracks from around 2005-2007. I was surprised how playful and full of energy these are. Technically and soundwise they are all pretty funky but I was really stunned by the liveliness of these old projects. So I’m like…yeah let’s share em. Maybe some people will even remember some of these from the past live shows. Shees that was ages ago… Ok, let’s go. 3/7

This one is called Fogfields and it was made in 2006. Back in the day, I used to play this one live a lot. The beat is an Aphex Twin ripoff...well kind of. The kick and zap sounds are taken directly from a track called Isoprophlex and are included within the RM1x sound bank. He mentioned Yamaha sampling these sounds for this machine in one of his interviews. Enjoy."

ST Modular - CONTROLLER (Four Channel CV Controller)

00:24 Features
01:35 Controlling Singer
03:39 Controlling Ghost 1
05:23 Controlling Ghost 2"



"The CONTROLLER module is a versatile four-channel CV control unit designed for precise management of up to four external CV parameters. Serving as a centralized control hub, it eliminates the need to individually access each control destination, streamlining the control process and enhancing workflow efficiency.

Four slider potentiometers are provided, each offering a travel length of 45mm. These sliders enable the application of unipolar voltages ranging from +0V to either +5V or +10V, which can be selected via a jumper located on the module's rear. Adjusting the slider upwards increases the voltage applied to its respective OUT socket, with the slider LED indicating the voltage level.

In addition to the sliders, each channel features a STRIKE button, allowing for the immediate application of a predetermined voltage on top of the voltage set by the slider. The maximum additional voltage that can be applied via the strike button is adjustable using the S MAX controls, ensuring seamless customization. This feature enables users to effortlessly set the desired voltage level to be activated with a simple button press.

The Controller utility is a convenient tool specifically crafted to manage multiple parameters of various modules, enhancing their accessibility during live performances.
