Intellijel Tangrams: What is the Pulser?

video upload by Intellijel

"The Pulser circuit is a unique part of the Tangrams, inspired by the EMS Synthi.

In this video, we give a quick explanation of how it works, followed up by 3 patches that use it in different ways. Essentially, the Pulser sends out 2 sequential gates, triggered by a Start input. These gates have time control parameters (T1 & T2) that can be modulated with CV. You can assign either envelope to either pulse, and it's also possible to cycle the circuit. All this leads to complex, evolving and organic modulation.

Knobcon 2024: GS Music Showcases E7 and Bree6 Synthesizers

video upload by sonicstate

Pulled this one out of this playlist as GS Music supports the site (thank you GS Music!), and their new compact Bree6 keyboard synthesizer shouldn't be missed. The Bree6 made its first appearance in Jorb's best of Knobcon video posted here.

"We caught up with Guido from GS Music to discuss his flagship synthesizer, the E7, and a new entry, the bree6. The E7 is a seven-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer featuring two oscillators with sub-oscillators, a four-pole ladder filter, VCA, and built-in chorus and delay. It supports four-part multi-timbrality and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).

The E7's oscillators include a new temperature compensation circuit ensuring consistent tuning.

Guido also showed us the new bree6, a six-voice analog polyphonic synth equipped with a single oscillator per voice, pulse width modulation, the same ladder filter as the E7, and additional features like an arpeggiator and sequencer. The distinctive "polystereo" panning mode was highlighted, providing a wider stereo spread for the voices. Both models will be available through GS Music's website and various dealers worldwide - the bree 6 should be released around November.

"Hello & welcome to a walking talking tour of Knobcon 2024. Filmed on a quieter moment on Sunday afternoon (the even runs Friday evening through Sunday afternoon) here's a look at the event space, exhibit, people and gear that were at the show. I hope it gives a flavour of the event for those that couldn't make it and maybe highlights some things people may have missed if they did make it.

MOOG Mother-32 & Novation Summit space ambient jam

video upload by No Lake

"The Mother-32 has joined the family. This is my very first jam with the machine and I'm totally in love with it. I think M-32 and Summit work really well together and space ambient is one of my favorite genre.

Now, headphones on, eyes closed and let the journey through outer space begin. Track is called "Continuum - chapter 01" and I hope that this is the first page of a long book.

Bad Gear - Analog Rytm

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Given the amount of screen time Elektron gear gets on this channel one might be surprised that all of this belonged to their simple, easily accessible and super affordable line of beginner products.

Today we are going to talk about Analog Rytm MKII. This 2018 analog drum machine is the very first top of the line Elektron instrument to be featured on this show and while it comes with plenty of pro features for music production my humble Digitakt is missing the controversy surrounding it is basically the same."

Moog One Presets Pack Vol. 4 by Caught In Joy

video upload by Caught In Joy

"Introducing Moog One custom sounds Presets Volume 4 by Caught In Joy. Most of the patches consist of more than one layer/timbral. Perfect for Berlin School, electronica and synthwave.

Get it at: https://caughtinjoy.com/products/moog...

Moog One to me is a real king of the unique sonic landscapes. Through my sound design choices and experimentation, I created presets that explore new sonic territories, revisit the old ones and push the boundaries of what the Moog One can do. By combining different synthesis techniques, modulation routings, and unconventional settings, you can uncover unique and captivating sounds that are not typically found in factory presets. A lot of presets were inspired by the pioneers of electronic music: Tangerine Dream, Isao Tomita, Richard Barbieri, Jean Michel-Jarre, Vangelis, Klaus Schulze's and Edgar Froese's solo works and Amiga demo scene.

I hope these distinctive sonic landscapes will make your feel special and will inspire you to compose more music.

All patches are compatible with the Moog One Firmware v. 1.5.0 and up. Terms apply."
