The Labyrinth Sequences Itself and Everything Else Is Techno

video upload by EZBOT

"The Labyrinth is fine on it's own, but what if we use it's generative sequencer to sequence our other modules? I am finding this workflow is fantastic for techno production, and sampling in general. The riffs that you can pull out of a quick session are awesome, check it out!"

Impro with Larix Elektro modules

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Except a Erica synth RND, used as a clock (yes !!), all other modules are from Larix Elektro. ...just for fun.

So there's a rhythmic pattern, with a CV Generator + the Shift-R ( to have 8 trig outs). Then the new TIME-SHIFTER, to twist (swing) the sequence.
And finally, the 4TOMS that produce all the sound.

And that's it !

Making Modular Musical: Quantizer Tips & Tricks (feat. Omri Cohen + Shakmat Bard Quartet)

video upload by Perfect Circuit

"We've all heard it before: 'That's cool, but can you make MUSIC with that thing!?'

Modular synthesizers are notoriously good at all manner of sonic chaos—but with some practice and some clever techniques, it's easily possible to turn your Eurorack system into a source of cascading, gorgeous generative harmonies. It. can be as harmonious (or discordant!) as you want it to be. One of the most important tools for wrangling the chaos and making it 'musical'? Quantizers—an important tool in any melody-oriented modular artist's toolkit.

In this video, our friend ‪@OmriCohen-Music‬ shows us some of HIS favorite tips and tricks for generating harmonies and melodies with modular synthesizer—all focused around the spectacular Shakmat Bard Quartet quad quantizer. Buckle in...there's a lot to learn!

"The knobs were replaced with metallic ones, because we think they look cool.

This unit as been upgraded with the Synth and Drum expansion modules and has been given a beautiful RGB LCD. The three knobs at the front control the color and brightness. If you don't like the knobs, it would be an easy job to remove them and hardwire the color. Let us know if you want this done, prior to ordering.

first patch Synthetic Sound Labs Ian Fritz Hypster 5U Modular Synth

video upload by I like the Chaos.

"The Hypster is getting rate cv from a Dotcom q119 sequencer and is Frequency modulating an Ian Fritz Teezer VCO. It is also providing cv to a Steiner Filter also from SSL. The Filter is also getting cv from the sequencer. From the Filter the audio goes to a Musonics VCA turned up with no cv. I had that patcher for future plans that aren't in this video. Then to a Manecolabs Clusterverb for reverb and delay.
Very simple patch but sounds great.
This is the 5u version. NLC Nonlinear Circuits did a Eurorack version."

GND-1T Speech chip synthesizer Tutorials 4 Keyboard patches & basic editing and expression mapping

video upload by GND-1

"Available directly from https://richardvanhoesel.com/gnd1t

In this installation of my GND-1T tutorials I illustrate how the usual loop based mechanism in this synth can also be used to create patches intended for more conventional melodic expression, such as with a musical keyboard, simply by setting the loop length very short. It also serves as an introduction into parameter editing and expression mapping.

For owners of the 1T, a new bank of factory sounds is available for download on the website. It focuses specifically on 'keyboard patches', in contrast to the more loop & drum factory sounds that the 1T ships with.

As always, everything you hear in these demos is a direct stereo stream recorded from the GND-1T, without any additional processing or effects."

ARTURIA MicroFreak #1 (with TC Electronic T2 Reverb)

video upload by alloutofsync

"A combination of MicroFreak arpeggiator and T2 reverb.

I finally started using the MicroFreak after letting it sit for exactly a month since it arrived. Skimming through the manual, it seems to have a variety of features. Since none of my other gear had an arpeggiator, I decided to start by playing around with it. By tweaking the analog filter and adding reverb with the T2, it creates a dreamy sound.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Thanks."
