video upload by atnr

"A piece created using ‪@SONICWARE‬ CyDrums, YAMAHA MOTIF RACK ES, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother. It's beat music that progresses with real-time parameter changes.

All the equipment is controlled via MIDI from the DAW.

Patching Panda Blast & Hatz V3 | Killer kick and hi-hat modules for Eurorack

"This is the second of a pair of videos I’m making about drums in Eurorack. In this one, I’m looking at two great-sounding analogue drum modules from Patching Panda: the Blast kick drum and Hatz V3 hi-hats.

In this video, I give a detailed overview of both modules and walk through all their parameters, then I build a couple of jams to let you hear them in context. As usual, you should find a few ideas for things to try no matter which modules you’re using."

You can find demos of the Polygamist in previous posts here.

"Super-rare, discontinued, legendary, semi-modular experimental noise synth

Knas made about 70 of these, then production was stopped. They are now super-rare, almost impossible to find. Great synth for live/improv sonic madness.

Overall condition is Excellent, only downgraded to Very Good because a couple of the plastic switch caps are missing. This does not affect function, everything is working as it should.

2 unique oscillators (Tilt & Multiply), 3 LFOs, Multi-pole Filter, plenty of patch points, ribbon controller, CV/Gate and MIDI control, easy interface with eurorack gear."

Resynthesizer by Make Noise - Ambient performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on the Make Noise Resynthesizer.

This might be the most beautiful instrument I own.

Eurorack is traditionally about choice, about configuring a case to your preferences or imagination. The Make Noise Resynthesizer is the antithesis of this, in many ways. It's a crafted case from only one manufacturer, from their imagination, and with a specific philosophy and goal in mind. In this respect, it is an instrument, with the strengths and limitations inherent in any instrument. And when you embrace those strengths and limitations, it's truly incredible what it can create.

This is the very first patch I made with the Resynthesizer, with no goals in mind, without any sample content loaded onto the Morphagene (sampler). I didn't even know how to use half of the modules going in, and still don't know how to use many of them in any depth. But it's a testament to the Resynthesizer that it has a unified philosophy, and that its two main sound-creating voices (the Morphagene and the Spectraphon, a dual stereo oscillator) work so well together. What a synth.

I learned how to quickly sample the Spectraphon into the Morphagene, learned how to use the basics of René, and away I went. Within minutes I was making sounds and music I hadn't approximated with any other gear before.

Not only am I pleased with the musical results, I'm truly excited about the depth of this machine, to learn more of what it can do, to embrace its strengths and limitations and see what comes out of it, free of expectations.

Performed and recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Thanks for listening.
