"All parts of 'SingleStep' were made with Prophet-5 and Poly-Sequencer.
The rhythm parts were also made with Prophet-5.
Recently, I've been realizing the goodness of Poly-Sequencer again.
I'm using it as a main sequencer even in DAW-less environments."

NINA Analog Poly Synth Goes ACID TECHNO — Can Your TB-303 Do This?

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"Can your TB-303 do this? NINA gets a full Acid Techno workout. No 303s were hurt in the making of this video! The only synth sound here is the NINA being morphed between 2 acid style bass sounds, sequenced with a modular sequencer (off camera). Drums support from Roland TR-909 and TR-808 and Elektron MachineDrum.

Here are the details —
NINA is sequenced via eurorack sequencers: Malekko Voltage Block and Intellijel Steppy on a modular synth rack that is off camera. We are morphing the modulation routing on the A/B Bass patches on NINA, that is the only synth sound used in this video.

Roland TR-909, TR-808 and Elektron MachineDrum doing their thing. Elektron Octatrack is off camera, acting as a master clock as a sync source only.

This video demo is improvised in one take and mixed on the fly on a Playdifferently Model1 mixer with an Eventide Space pedal for added reverb.

Please send our sincere apologies to the TB-303, with love from Melbourne Instruments 😅"

Mr. Wavey by Blue Lantern Modules

video upload by Robots Are Red

"What is Mr. Wavey? Well, the boring answer is Mr. Wavey is a 12hp oscillator follower. The fun answer is that Mr. Wavey takes a boring triangle and pulse oscillator and turns it into a waveform powerhouse. With 12 waveforms spanning from the basics like Sine and Pulse, to subs and double ramps, to blended or sequential unique waveforms. Or control Mr. Wavey with 2 separate oscillators for some even more unique morphing waveforms. Or slow things down and use it as a more unique and weird LFO.

"Stack: 2 Level PCB sand which
Caution, not skiff friendly. Compatible with POD cases by 4MS

Does this module require another module?
Yes, you need an oscillator vco module. Best compatibility is a vco with triangle wave and square wave.
Self oscillating sine wave from a VCF module can be used but will not take full advantage of the module.

What does this do?
This module takes two external sources (patched) from an external other module. It wants a triangle waveform and a square waveform.
The internal analog circuitry will make you a variety of wave forms, selectable by knob. You can also blend the output with a slicer and a sub harmonic generator on the second channel.

This module upgrades your boring vco. The wave shapes found on this product is 15+ years of analog circuits I have gathered.

You get two channels of waveform banks. Each can output something separate and different.

There is CV control for the Waveform selection banks, Sub harmonic selection bank, and Pulse Wave Modulation on channel 2."

The Amazing Recording History of Here Comes the Sun

video upload by You Can't Unhear This

"Here Comes The Sun has become one of the most popular and treasured Beatles songs, a gateway into their music for many new fans. This 3-minute gem of unforgettable songwriting is also packed with intriguing anomalies, production quirks and even a mystery. Unlike the vast majority of Beatles songs, Here Comes the Sun was not written by the main songwriting duo of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, but rather by George Harrison, the youngest member of the quartet, who contributed two memorable pieces to the Abbey Road album - an endearing love song called Something, and the effervescent Here Comes the Sun.

I’m going to take you on a journey through the song’s creation and point out some of these surprises. As a fair warning, You Can't Unhear This.

"Making a song from scratch is always an adventure. The instruments you choose to sequence or sample determine the narrative for your track. I chose to use the Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field and the Hologram Microcosm to guide me into what was later referred to as the "space jungle." This track falls into the jungle-IDM genre. Check it out, and you might find some cool examples of techniques to try in your next tune.

We replaced all electrolytic capacitors. We opened, cleaned and lubed all pots and switches and cleaned all jacks. The end result is an X911 that works perfectly and sounds great that's justifiably priced higher than the typical junk on the market and that's ready for its next happy home.

**ORIGINAL** 1980 MFB 501 – Serviced

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this listing

"Okay, now that's what I call vintage. Not the recent 'MFB 501 Pro' version, but the original 1980, 330,- DM (that was more than this 2024 priice, I'm pretty sure), best-selling one that could be found in many German households during the early 80s (I imagine).

Despite that it's quite rare, as far as I know, probably because: it sounds REALLY GREAT! I haven't been in the position to do a shoot out, but though there's a lot to be said in favour of the 'Pro, I'd say this one sounds quite a bit phatter. Drum machines just like most drum humans get phatter over time, I guess.

Do your homework before considering this, though; important to know is that it has no MIDI but is synced the way they synced in 1980, AND it is NOT programmable but DOES have oh I don't know around 200? funky, fünky presets, all in 3 variable versions, + you can mute and unmute every innstrument, so you'll probably be good. You'll be better."

"This setup would retail for $11,999 for the Model 10 and $1,499 for the 953 keyboard. Save a bunch here. Moog is discontinuing making the Model 10 and they won't be available for new much longer, so grab this while you can at a great price. The Model 10 is in mint shape with original box / paperwork, and the keyboard is in near mint shape with very minor signs of wear. Both come from original owner's smoke free home studio and were used only a handful of times. We tested the setup and found it to be fully functional. The only thing we noted is that the Model 10 oscillators perhaps needing some minor calibration across their wide range, which is common maintenance need for a modular analog synth and should be performed by the new owner as needed after transit."

Video demo in the listing previously posted here.

"8 operators - ...not just 6 like for example DX7...
8 EG
2 LFO
Harmonics Modulator (phase, ring)

The voice architecture is similar to the Yamaha DX synthesizers but where the DX7 has six oscillators to choose from, the VZ has eight.

Each oscillator is part of a 'module' and each module has a long list of functions independent of the other modules: Waveform, detune, envelope, envelope depth (that also functions as oscillator volume), envelope velocity sensitivity, envelope key follow and amplifier sensitivity. Each module is then arranged in 4 pairs: A, B, C and D. The first module in a pair then has the option to mix with the second module (similar to a dual oscillator synthesizer), ring modulate the second module or phase modulate the second module. The output from this can then be sent to the main output, or used to modulate the second module of the following pair (for example: the output from Pair A modulates the second module in Pair B which is also being ring modulated with the first module in Pair B). This freedom to pick and choose your own voice combinations allows for some very wild and complex sounds.

The VZ-1 also features a combination mode that lets you stack up to 4 patches on top of each other giving a total of 32 oscillators per voice."

DivSkip in a tiny case: Minimal Setup

video upload by Making Sound Machines

"We thought we'd try and built the smallest viable setup using DivSkip, our collaboration with @DivKid. So we set out to collect a couple of modules that pair great with #DivSkip in a tiny 48HP @4msCompany pod. It turned out really fun!

The Clock input is generated using Music Thing Modular's insanely practical startup module. Here it's used to output sixteenth note triggers.
DivSkip's channel 1 is set to play a modbap pattern on Out A and B, going to kick and snare on @VladimirPantelic's awesome VPME QD quad drum voice.
DivSkip's channel 2 is set to offbeats, triggering @TimoRozendal's super cool FMP drum. It's a fantastic DIY module using the @YamahaSynthsOfficial YM2413 FM chip - you need to check it out.

The Gliss module from @BelaPlatform plays back a looping CV recording, changing both the sound parameters on FMP and the pattern on DivSkip's channel 4, which in turn is generating a grooving syncopated sixteenth note sequence.

Finally, DivSkip's channel 4 sends a pattern from its Euclidean Split mode to the Karplus-Strong generator on the QD Drum.

Enrica mutes and unmutes each channel on the fly with a click of the push potentiometer.

DIY Kits will restock shortly at @thonksynth (UK), @explodingshed (EU) and @nightlife_electronics (CAN - DIY and built)
Built modules are available at @signal_sounds (UK), @perfect_circuit (US), @elevatorsoundbristol (UK), @elevatorsound_eu (EU) and #schneidersladen (EU)"
