7/31/25 EML 200 + Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Machine + SSL 1600 + acRLS
video upload by Cfpp0
"7/31/25 ElectroComp EML 200 + Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Machine + Synthetic Sound Labs 1600 + Analog Craftsman acRLS
It was inevitable. The Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Machine is now in the 6U rack on top of the ElectroComp EML 200 stack. Just to the right of the Metasonix TM-1, TM-1 SE, TM-5, TM-2, TM-7, and Zerosum Inertia Cenotaph. We’ve tried to find a TM-6 to add to the racks for several years now, but to no avail, so why not just put the S-1000 here? Duh. This was a test video, with the EML 200 square wave driving the Synthetic Sound Labs 1600 clock divider, which triggers the S-1000 and drives the EML 200 envelope and the Analog Craftsman acRLS shift register thing, which modulates the S-1000 oscillators, pulser, and filter. Both signals get spring reverb from the EML 200. Sounds like creatures to me."

Getting glitchy with Pattern Mutate on Circuit Tracks
video upload by Novation
"In this video, Dylan takes you inside a spontaneous session on Circuit Tracks, starting with a simple melodic phrase and building it into a full groove with drums, bass, and evolving textures. Along the way, he showcases Pattern Mutation, a creative tool for transforming loops into something fresh and expressive. It’s a hands-on look at how small ideas can grow into dynamic musical moments and be used for creating transitions, perfect for producers looking to break out of repetitive patterns and unlock new inspiration."

LFO/LFO (Circuit Tracks Version)
video upload by Guinan
"This week’s track is a version of the classic 1988 Warp records release ‘LFO’ by the UK Leeds band, LFO. Seen at the time as part of a genre then known as ‘bleep techno’ it was characterised by hard, uncompromising electronic minimalist industrial techno tracks such as this.
I’m hoping I’m not the only one who remembers and loves this track! If you like this try and find 'Testone/Sweet Exorcist' in a similar style - possibly one for a future cover too.
More details for synth nerds
I already had some ‘Speak & Spell’ samples I’d downloaded years ago so this was a great starting point. I had separate samples for the “L”, “F’ and “O” and I thought it would be fun to throw in one of the starting noises the toy makes when switched on. The same toy is featured on Kraftwerk’s ‘Computer World’ album so the sound will be a familiar one.
The main chord sequence comes from a Kawai K1 preset patch. Luckily there is a free fantastic software synth emulation of this keyboard available online so I was able to create a sample for the repeating chords. The emulator can be downloaded from the following page,
https://www.nilsschneider.de/wp/categ...
I’d encourage you to leave a donation for the author if you find this emulator useful.
All of these samples are sequenced alternately on the Drum 4 track.
There is a single repeating rhythm pattern using 909 samples played on Drum 1-3.
Synth 1 plays an FM-sounding bass patch, and Synth 2 is a representation of the staccato bleep sound (a small amount of pitch envelope helps recreate the original sound). Add lots of reverb and voila!"

Digitone 2 controlled by Launch Control XL 3 - Full one-take performance
video upload by Sineway
"All sounds in this live jam come from the Elektron Digitone II, controlled via the Novation Launch Control XL 3.
I mapped the Digitone’s modulation wheel macros to the Launch Control’s faders for real-time modulation.
This one-take performance is part of an ongoing setup I’ve been refining, and I’ll be doing a full walkthrough soon: MIDI mapping, sound design, and how this setup makes jamming feel effortless."

Official Demo - Microkorg 2 Soundset by Jexus
video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)
"Thoughts & info: https://sounds-for-synths.com/korg-mi...
I did not use any external FX in the demo, no layers, no loopers, etc. All the delays and reverbs are part of the Microkorg-2 engine. My presets are single-timbre so you don’t lose your 8-voice polyphony. The presets come as computer files in “mk2prog” format. Just load them into the Microkorg-2 by using its flash drive feature (boot your Microkorg-2 in “disk mode”, and when it appears as a new disk drive you can just open / explore it and copy + paste the files). You will have the freedom to import my presets into Bank CLASSIC or MODERN or FUTURE or USER on your Microkorg 2."

"The Korg Trident is a polyphonic multi-section synthesizer released by Korg in 1980, combining three distinct synthesizers within a single instrument: a polyphonic section with two VCOs, alongside dedicated String and Brass sections.[1] The polyphonic synthesizer section allows for eight-note polyphony with dual oscillators. The String section offers an ensemble effect and simple attack/release envelope controls, whereas the Brass section features an independent filter and a dedicated ADSR envelope. These sections can be assigned to two different regions of the keyboard independently, and the Trident also offers a flanger effect along with a joystick for pitch bending and modulation."

DR-2 jam - using a polyclock on the BD
video upload by Modor Music
"A little jam on the Modor DR-2, using a 10:16 polyrhythmic clock on the kick and claps.
The kicks fall in most patterns on the 1st, 3rd and 4th step of a 5 step-pattern compressed into the time of 4 beats. The bottle ticking on top works as a regular 4/4 'metronome'.
Models used: String Bassdrum, Filter Claps, Hihat, Marching Snare, Bottle and Crash Cymbal.
The Marching Snare gets some random extra hits on top of the programmed pattern, for a constant little variation in the pattern."

Roland JX-8P Analog Synth Demo - Best 80s Presets (by Eric Persing who did D-50 sounds)
video upload by Dave Daves
"Playing chord progressions to show off my favorite JX-8P Preset patches - Eric Persing just began programming presets for Roland synths, this for the JX-8P was his very first of perhaps the most illustrious patch-programming career; he's most famous for the Roland D-50 sounds, especially #1 Fantasia which found its way into the GM General MIDI standard patch map (if you don't know it by name, you'll still recognize it), he did all the JV- and XV- later ROMplers too and I think XV-5080 may have been his last. I was raised to think that using presets without any editing is just lazy... but with the JX-8P they just sound perfect to my ears."

Combining the original JD-800 waveforms with advanced modeling techniques, the JD-08 delivers the exquisite hands-on sound design of the original, along with hugely expanded polyphony, a two-part polyphonic sequencer, and other modern updates.
The JD-08 includes 64 presets from the original hardware and perfectly recreates the four-tone structure, 108 waveforms, and unique two-part multi-effects that are at the core of the JD-800’s intricate, evolving sound.
And there is so much more! The JD-08 has new patches plus 256 memory locations that let you dive deep into the huge array of controls to create new sounds for your music. And with expanded polyphony and two-part multitimbral capability, there’s even more room to stretch out your sonic ideas.
In this demo I will just let you hear what Roland have made for this little synth simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful factory presets."

FREE SYNTH: NODAL RED 2X - No talking demo
video upload by ADL-MusicLab
"Hello, everyone!
Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing NODAL RED 2X, a FREE software emulation of the Nord Lead/Rack 2X by "The Usual Suspects", which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer in all its red glory!
"The Usual Suspects" is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the Motorola DSP563xx series of DSP processors.
This DSP has been used in plenty of virtual analogue synthesizers and other musical gear that was released after around the mid 90s, such as Access Virus A, B, C, TI / Clavia Nord Lead 2X, 3, Modular / Waldorf Q, Microwave II / Novation Supernova, Nova and many others.
And now they released a must have from the 2000'...a Nord Lead/Rack 2X perfect emulation. This synthesizer uses two Motorola DSP56362 and the synthesis engine of NODAL RED 2X is identical to the Nord Lead 2x and it can also load Nord Lead 1 presets.

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds."

A soundscape built around revised "Beeps" module
video upload by ParadisoModular
"This is a demo of one of my vintage modules that I just radically updated. First, a bit of history. Circa 1988, I was browsing the Hosfelt Electronics catalog, and saw a bunch of little circuit boards there that made different 'emergency' siren sounds. Of course, I couldn't resist buying all eight of them that they had, and designed a synth module around them that allowed me to switch (manually or via external signals) the audio output from any of them into the left or right channels on a common stereo mix. In addition to a linear mix, I also combined them via a chain of exclusive ORs (the VCOs on these units produced square waves), again selected by the same gates - this produced kind of a ring modulation sound (Exclusive OR's can be thought of as 1-bit multipliers). On the front panel, I also provided outputs from each oscillator independently, as well as the ability to inject independent voltage control into each oscillator.
Despite my attempts to leverage this module into different patches, it retained a distinct identity - e.g., the sound of a major urban emergency - that limited its usefulness. You can hear a short demo excerpt I recorded on it circa 26 years ago here- http://Paradiso.media.mit.edu/Outgoin... - I'm switching outputs from the alarm circuits randomly to left and right channels throughout - the first half features the linear mix and the latter half the XOR mix. You can clearly hear that this module makes a very strong statement -as such, it didn't appear much in my pieces over the years.
But I still saw big potential in it. 8 oscillators aren't much by today's digital standards, but as I can switch them into different paths dynamically, it's got promise. The main thing I had to do was to be able to turn off the LFO control of each oscillator that made the siren sounds and think about coordinated ways to control this bank.
So a month or two back, I embarked on this journey, enabling the LFOs to be switched out of the audio oscillator voltage control paths (but giving independent access to them all, providing LFO outputs on the front panel and in most cases voltage control of LFO frequencies), plus providing adjustable voltage control of each oscillator as well as different kinds of ensemble voltage control (e.g., controlling all 8, controlling the top vs bottom 4, controlling even vs odd channels), as well as being able to adjust the base frequency of the ensemble and the base for each independent oscillator. Witness the massive augmentation of the front panel, as well as the wild nest of wiring below to do this hack in the midst of this video.
But low-and-behold it's done. This isn't a voiced device - the oscillators are linear, hence don't hold tune collectively as you shift frequencies. This, for me, justified the hack - I've got plenty of oscillators that I can already voice and track harmonically - this unit is now about nudging frequencies collectively and independently to go through different kinds of dissonances and occasionally sweet spots in a deep ensemble fashion. Plus, if I want to, I can switch channels back into siren mode, or use their LFOs in more flexible ways (each of the LFOs sports a different kind of waveform).
OK, IMO it grew into the monster that I hoped it would become, as you can hear in this live recording. Here I routed both the linear and XOR outputs through different complex reverb units, fading them up in different ways and at different times, and switching the oscillator outputs dynamically into different channels using digital gates coming from other modules in my system (occasionally I would hold some or all of the gates to just let the thing drone). I also injected different kinds of ensemble control (all, even/odd, top/bottom) at different times to bend the frequencies a bit, driven by triggered envelope generators. All sounds come from this revamped 'Beeps' unit - one voice was routed through an octave divider to bring it lower, and some effects were used, plus the reverbs nicely put this beast into a dense dreamy space. Despite the complexity, it's one of the simplest patches I've made - you can see it in the little bit of pan-around video I put into the middle of the clip.
My usual disclaimer - heck, only 8 oscillators with simple control paths could be done trivially in software now (one of my hero-pieces, Dave Wessel's 'Antony', an inspiration here, used hundreds on IRCAM's 4x (or 3x back then?) circa 30-40 years ago), and there are probably Eurorack modules around like this now too, including some that I may already have. But this connects to something I made in my relative youth, turning it into the sonic tool that it wanted to be. I hope you enjoy this demo!"
Strange Module Interactions
video upload by Bata
This one reminded me of the sequence ratchet/rachetting effect in the recent Franke and Ruby and “Liar, Liar, 960 Denier!” 😅 videos, albeit a diffent approach.
"Showing some strange interactions between a few Behringer modules.
Reddit user n_nou offered this explanation.
'Ext Adv expects bipolar clock to cycle properly. Any polarity dip will do, even slightly below zero at minimum. EOC on Abacus is (mostly) unipolar. Mostly, because the exact 0 point varies depending on the function shape, so some shapes and frequencies run 1050 through only odd and some through all steps. Simple offset will correct/result in this behaviour and you can use any LFO for this, this is not specific to Abacus. Moreover, Ext Adv is not properly buffered, you can literally use it as a half wave rectifier. Just mult the signal to the Ext Adv and your destination, 1050 will sink the negative part of the wave and will mess up with unipolar outputs. Check unity output from Abacus, it flattens at maximum.
As to PP1, at high gain it will amplify even miniscule fluctuations in power supply, and since PP1 itself is very sensitive, it will result in pitch shifts.'
Not sure if this is telling the whole story or not but it's all I have to go off of at the moment."

Working with Ableton Live Racks and Macros: Roto-Control 2.0 Firmware Melbourne Instruments
video upload by Melbourne Instruments
"When working with Ableton Live racks and macros with Roto-Control 2.0 firmware, all instruments and effects racks will default to automatic macro mapping, whereby macro controls and names will be automatically detected by Roto-Control and mapped to Roto's knobs — indicated with light blue colored labels. This is applicable for all racks; instrument, drum, audio effects and MIDI effect racks, This also applies to individual racks that you may have made.
To disable automatic macro mapping and further customize displays, labels and haptics, press LEARN and begin to map knobs accordingly, as you would when learning other plugins and devices parameters. Pressing LEARN will disable the automatic mapping for that specific rack/macro. Manually mapped controls default to dark blue labels. Once you start to manually map knobs; colors, names and haptics can be further customized in the Roto-Setup App.
To return to automatic macro mapping for that specific rack/macro, CLEAR all manually mapped controls. Press LEARN, keep it pressed and touch the knob on Roto-Control you want to clear. There will be a prompt to CLEAR, touch the knob again to CLEAR the mapping.
IMPORTANT: Each rack must have a UNIQUE NAME. Racks with the default names Instrument Rack, Audio Effect Rack, MIDI Effect Rack and Drum Rack cannot be customized with the LEARN button – they must be renamed first. This is to ensure plugins saved to Roto-Control memory are unique and separate.

The Silent Alchemist sound recording test comparison - noise free.
video upload by myVolts
"Need some silence? 😃
.
At myVolts, we're not just trying to power your gear, we want to give you the best possible audio output too.
.
You may not realise it, but isolation of your power sources keeps your output clean and as you intended.
.
Have a listen (headphones recomended) to our two setups here, the first 30 seconds is USB powered from a standard AC power hub. It's not imposing itself on the sound, but if you listen to that silence at the start, you've got unwanted noise. 😢
.
In the second setup, the noise just isn't there. The Silent Alchemist helped you avoid something you now won't need to clean up afterwards.
.
We're all about simplifying your process, with solutions that just work.
.
Setup info 1:
3 X USB Power ports used
1- Digitakt with 12V Step Up.
2-Korg Volca Drum 9V+ Step Up
Our Crazychain CC47N1 converts polarity and tip size to power the Chase Bliss Onward pedal.
3-Standard USB-C cable takes 5V and Powers the Zoom L6.
Audio setup:
Digitakt connected to Zoom L6
Volca Drum output sent through CB onward into Zoom L6.
Note: we would normally give a mixer/recorded it's own independent power source, this is probably the origin of the noise in the mix. However, with the Silent Alchemist, it's not a concern, isolation means no noise, even when sharing a power source.
Setup info 2:
As above, regarding Audio.
The power setup is slightly different, each device gets it's own USB-C power source, so four in total.
.
If you would like to examine these setups, the screenshots in the video are taken from PowerMyGear, our free web tool for planning your power setup.
