Viewing the the complex waveforms of the Gleeman Pentaphonic
video upload by Vintage Synthesizer Museum
"After posting some pics of the Gleeman Pentaphonic Friday, someone in the comments asked what ‘Comp1’ and Comp2’ were in the oscillator section were referring to. Well, according to the manual: The first two waveshapes are COMPlex 1 and COMPlex 2. These are two new complex waveshapes not usually found on a synthesizer and are included for their unique harmonic qualities. Here, we’re viewing the waveforms with the Korg NTS-2 oscilloscope. We currently have one of these oscilloscopes in the studio. If you’d like to see one of these at each of the mixer sections in the studio, let us know."

Meris Reveals the Enzo X

NEW: Meris Enzo X Overview (Official) 4k
video upload by Meris
"UNVEIL THE UNIVERSE WITHIN
Enzo X is a supernova expansion from the original Enzo into the highest quality and most flexible polyphonic synthesizer ever created in a pedal format (with no pickup installation required). All of our passion for pro audio has made it into both the algorithms and hardware performance of this pedal. Enzo X combines 5 synth modes and incorporates those into a modular system UI/architecture from both award winning LVX and MercuryX pedals. Including: 6 polyphonic voices (each voice includes a set of 2 oscillators, filter, filter envelope, amplifier envelope) + 3 reverbs are adapted from Mercury X (Prism algorithm) + 5 Drives (including Bitcrush) + full stereo 2.5 second Delay + 5 modulation types. To make this complex system immediately intuitive to navigate, we again leveraged the simple and easy to use UI first developed for LVX. Exploring the factory presets (and pressing the HOLD MODIFIER) will be your gateway into experiencing the power and flexibility within this instrument. As you discover all of the new ways to create with Enzo X, your own sonic visions will be unveiled.

Beat w/ OP-1 field, nord lead, Prophet-10, Moog One | No Clouds 2025-02-18 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created using the @SequentialLLC Prophet-10, @MoogSynthesizers Moog One, @NordKeyboards Nord Lead, and @teenageengineering OP-1 field. Modal harmonies are layered over a standard beat.
On the Moog One, I play the bass using a combination of MIDI control and live performance.
The Nord Lead produces modal harmonies, controlled via MIDI with manual filter adjustments on the hardware.
On the Prophet-10, I perform synth strings-like sounds by playing live, occasionally using modulation and pitch bend.
The beat on the OP-1 field is triggered via MIDI, with occasional use of its built-in filter effect (NITRO) and reverb from @strymon NIGHTSKY.
The chorus vocals use Kasane Teto（重音テト）."

Custom Patches for Novation Summit synthesizer - Dirty & noisy pads and soundscapes - No talking!
video upload by copenhagennoiselab
"Playing through 38 presets I have made for my Novation Summit... I bought the Summit after a few years with the Novation Peak. And while I have kept the Peak, I hav not used it since. All in all, this used to be my favorite synthesizer. It can be clean, and it can be nasty and everything in between. It is quick to work with, and it has that snappy character if needed.
The best thing about it is likely that it plays well in a context with other instruments - I usually turn it on as a drone or an arpeggio playing while playing piano. It works great. I feel like Nils Frahm or Hania Rani instantly... ;)
Anyway. The Arpeggiator on this thing is the best I ever used...
If you are interesting in getting the patches, please let me know, and we can likely work something out.
If you want some custom written soundtracks, get hold of me.
Anyway. If you like the sounds, please click like and subscribe or leave a comment. It means a lot to me. :)
There is no external processing going on, so the only FX you hear is the diffusion delay that is built in.

Confundo Funkidos: Using BURN for rhythmic fills
video upload by Noise Engineering
"Confundo Funkidos is the second version of the classic Eurorack module Confundo Funkitus.
This post supplements the blog on Noise Engineering's website here: https://noiseengineering.us/blogs/loq...
One of the greatly expanded features on the new Confundo Funkidos is Burn. The original Confundo Funkitus had a simple button that was all-or-nothing when it came to fills, but we added a CV-controllable potentiometer and added a mute behavior for Burn when we reimagined the Funkidos.
Watch the full Confundo Funkidos demo video here:
• Confundo Funkidos four-channel rhythm... [posted here]
See how the new Accent outputs work here:
• Confundo Funkidos: How Accent outputs... [posted here]
For more information or to order:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...
Confundo Funkidos is a rhythm crossfader and mute utility. Patch two pairs of rhythms to the left and right inputs, then use the CV-controllable crossfader and three Curve algorithms to fade between them and combine them in different ways. Each channel has a mute switch which can be used to bring a voice in and out of a patch at will. Tap the Burn button for some instant fills, and your percussion performances will never be the same."
MODULAR ARCHEOLOGY...

"Hm...yes, I did a little tidying up some weeks ago.
And I found an old machine:
A kind of ancestor of the RITOURNELLE CV GENERATOR, from the 90' !
This is a good opportunity to speak about this machine, and explaining the concept behind, and so, why the RITOURNELLE modules !
enjoy !"
weird reface DX sounds - ultra low tunings make clicks
video upload by Edward Jones
"I open with a little bit of a tribute to a well known song which I will not name.
I mean, um, a pattern of either notes followed by a pattern of 32nd notes.
PHEW.}}}} Almost got a little crazy there!!!
Then I run some lo frequency clicks into the effects units.
I don't have my audio interface with me, so I couldn't do a line recording.
Reface has a USB connection, but it's just for MIDI note and Data backup purposes.
Yamaha deigned not to provide us with Audio over USB, even though it would have cost them pennies to do so.
I intend to do that as I want to show an examination of the Feedback waveforms, and how they're not quite the same as other FM Feedback waveforms.
It certainly doesn't have that instability that the FB-01 has when you solo Operator 4 in feedback mode."

ISSUES/BUGS to track if fixed...:
1. Automap, at the very least in instrument racks is a must I think.
2. Drum rack parameters aren’t remembered across different drums.
3. If a parameter changes its name, you lose control of it (e.g., Meld, Echo)
4. Need to rename racks otherwise, ROTO control doesn’t identify the rack properly - though apparently that's a feature not a bug :)
5. Odd interactions between parameters (e.g. wavetable position and sub in Wavetable)
6. Clock sent out isn’t tracked properly by external devices in the first bar.
7. I didn’t test this with every Live device so there may be other issues!
Eurorack drum tips feat. Winter Plankton Dassbrum & Zaps
video upload by Tom Churchill
"This is the first of two videos that I’m making about drums in Eurorack. In them, I’m going to combine some demos of specific modules with more general patching tips and techniques.
In this one, I'm focusing on two modules from Winter Plankton - a collaboration between Winter Modular and Plankton Electronics. I’m using Dassbrum, which is their all-new kick drum module, and Zaps, which has been around for a couple of years now.
I met the guys behind these modules at Machina Bristronica last year, and they’re kindly sponsoring this video. But rather than just doing straight-up sound demos, I thought this would be a good opportunity to dive a bit deeper into various approaches to making beats in a modular synth context."
