Oberheim TEO-5 - Unboxing and Preset Playthrough


video upload by Riffsthatrule

"Just got a brand new Oberheim TEO-5 in and thought I'd do another unboxing and preset playthrough video. I know these types of videos are very helpful in making purchase decisions so hopefully it'll help some of you!

My thoughts: This thing sounds huge, raw and organic! You can modulate yourself into oblivion if you want, sequencer is very powerful and the raw tone speaks for itself. I highly recommend!

*Side note - EVERYTHING you hear in this video is the raw tone from the synth. No external effects or plugins were used*

Tesseract Modular Vinia - multichannel audio generator and processor eurorack module


video upload by Tesseract Modular

"VINIA is a multichannel audio generator and processor eurorack module.

Patch description:
Vinia's channels 1 & 2 are a generating the bass. Several parameters of this sound are being modulated by different
layers of a macro, and that macro it's being controlled by the envelope of the channel 1.
Channel 3 is making the chords (with tube saturation).
Channel 4 has a sample player. The sample selection of this one is modulated by its mini sequencer, the amount of bit crusher and 'metalizer' are modulated by a macro which is controlled by a CV input (using Polar8 as manual CV source).
Channel 5 is doing the melody with a multi VCO (5 detuned voices oscillator).
Channel 6 is a delay (used in send/return with TexMix).
Channels 7 & 8 are a stereo plate reverb, used in send return too.
Main drums comes from Tukra. Melody and bass lines comes from Step Fader mkII and everything's mixed with TexMix."

Vinia it's an 8 audio channels multifunction eurorack module.

Tesseract Modular STONK - Joystick controller & looper


video upload by Tesseract Modular

"Tesseract Modular STONK - Joystick controller & looper
This video cover the basic functions."



"Stonk it's a joystick controller with 2 channels of CV and 2 of audio. It’s a CV generator, looper & audio processor.

Very hands on module which can be a sort of chaos pad or dj looper. Features:

2 audio in & out (AC coupled)
2 CV in & out (DC coupled) ±5V
2 extra CV outputs ±10V
12 illuminated push buttons
CV & Audio looper (2:30 per channel)
LFO
Euclidean envelope generator
Multimode Filter
Stereo Reverb
Wave Folder
VCA
The audio AD/DA is 24 bit, 48 KHz, the internal audio handle is 32 bit float.

The CV AD/DA is 16/12 bits, 12 KHz.

The extra CV outputs are the analog sum and difference of the CV outputs 1&2.

Each channel has 6 modes available. By default 2 parameters are assigned to the horizontal & vertical axes but this can be easily tweaked, so it’s possible to control any of them (frequency, symmetry, offset or amplitude of the LFO, for example) not only with the joystick but with the 2 CV inputs.

The polarity control & offset of every parameter can also be modified on every mode and every channel.

6 presets for store and recall not only the joystick assignment and settings but all the parameter values for all modes and channels."

X-Plorations Vol 2 - Sequential Prophet X - Patches 33 to 64 (of 128)


video upload by GEOSynths

"Out Soon

So, it's been almost 4 Years since I worked on the Prophet X and then released X-Plorations Vol 1. While it does have some amazing Factory Samples from 8DIO, which i have used, I was a little disappointed in the Synth Samples, so I sampled 14 of my Synths, just the Oscillators wide open over many Octaves and EVERY note.

Of course, the Prophet X has onboard VA Oscillators and when combined with the Samples, you can make the Prophet X sound amazing. As mentioned, for Volume 1 I sampled 14 of my Synths to make 43 Sample Sets, these are the Synths I used.

Yamaha CS-80 Bladerunner sound on a DX7


video upload by Benjamin Dehli

"The Yamaha CS-80 and Yamaha DX7 are probably polar opposites in both operation and sound. The CS-80 is an analog subtractive synthesizer, whereas the DX7 is a digital synthesizer that uses frequency modulation (FM) synthesis. The only thing they really have in common is the Yamaha brand name.

This experiment was an attempt to see if I could make the DX7 sound somewhat close to the iconic CS-80 sound famously used by Vangelis in the Blade Runner soundtrack.

The DX7 patch will soon be available for download at https://store.dehlimusikk.no/ as part of a DX7 bank/cartridge I'm currently working on."

"An extremely rare member of the TR family with a built in amplifier and speakers with a surprising amount of bottom end and volume. The TR-700 has quite a few familiar rhythms with fader volume control over the bass, snare, cymbals and claves allowing for some clever little live performance tricks."

Modulation 'Masterclass'


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"First of all, I put 'masterclass' between quotes because I am not a master. I can call myself an 'expert' after +10.000 hours of patching but that's no guarantee for good information. However, you wouldn't be interested in watching modulation basics either. So my 'masterclasses' are more like sitting around the campfire, telling ghost stories, and we're all equal.

I've been inspired by a subscriber, who pointed to his beloved Rossum Trident/Triton as his/her/their favorite VCO. I looked it up, decided there's too much overlap with my THREE-BODY VCO, but noticed something interesting called 'Zing modulation'. It's a recipe based on ring modulation, with the simple trick of syncing the carrier and modulator. Dave wrote he may have been the first person who ever used the term 'hard-sync', but credited the technology to Serge Tcherepnin. Suddenly I was lost and inspired in a new world of modulation I did not know about. Since it's a recipe instead of a circuit, we can all use it as long as your VCO has a Sync input, and you have a ringmod in your case. If you don't, get one. It's an essential piece and it costs nothing.

I can't explain Zing modulation (ZM) without Ring modulation (RM) without thru-zero amplitude modulation (AM) and when the bloody TZ comes along I am aways reminded that I am still clueless about thru-zero FM. I've seen good, bad and no explanations about TZFM. I know it preserves pitch, it's been restricted to digital - but now it's also possible with analog - and it needs to be supported by the VCO. You can't seem to patch it up, the VCO should do it. I have a problem with things that can't be done. It's not that I am stubborn, an important aspect of creativitiy is to never give up. And to be confident you'll figure it out eventually. Thanks to Dave Rossum's recipe, I wondered if I could ringmod my modulator VCO before it goes to my principal VCO's LIN-FM. It can't possibly be amplitude modulation anymore.
I experimented with ring-modulating the modulator with an inverted version of itself, so it would flip polarity and go thru-zero. I don't know if this qualifies as true thru-zero so I call it WTFM.

Anyway, this video can keep you busy for weeks. Happy Patching!
Robert.
