Roland Juno 106 and Roland JX-3P Mini Horror Movie Soundtrack
video upload by Suspect Media
"After testing out the Juno-106 and JX-3P in the demo, I was curious how they'd fit into a track. So, I put together a mini soundtrack for an imaginary horror movie. It’s been raining all week, so I guess I was in the mood for a slow, atmospheric vibe."

Mehr Music Machines Stereoplex - Dual Sequential Switch/Stereo Line Switcher
video upload by Adam
"The stereo plex is a fully analog voltage controllable stereo line switch and dual sequential switch. Both channels (left and right) are bi-directional, meaning you can configure one section as 1 input/4 output, or 4 input/1 output. Because the switch is analog, you can patch in audio, cv, triggers/gates or any combination of the above. Both left and right channels share a common clock (switch-advance) and resets option. Additionally, the right channel has a normal connection to the left channel for easy mono-to-stereo conversion or 1:2 multiple.
Patch example: try patching two separate modulation sources into the top I/o jacks, now take the 4 o/i jacks (per side) and patch the signals into eight different destinations across your system."

Mehr Music Machines OneShot+
video upload by Adam
Follow-up to OneShot featured here. Check with dealers on the right for availability.
Oneshot+ 8HP
One part LFO, one part envelope generator, full voltage control.
Expanding on the original Oneshot module, Oneshot+ adds full voltage control over every parameter. There is now also an inverted output in addition to the standard non-inverting output. A built-in comparator scans the main output and sends a gate/pulse signal to the pulse output. This is an excellent source of gate bursts for triggering drums. Finally, there is an inverted pulse for further rhythmic exploration.
Press the touchpad to manually trigger the Oneshot+
HWJ Weekend Challenge - SLFB (Korean 'Gugak')

"Loosely based on Korean Gugak (classical music) in a pentatonic scale, this adds the necessary elements of the challenge: 4 things - staccato, legato, fortissimo, & bellissimo."

Patch notes via the 4ms MetaModule forum:
External Audio Path:
-Audio main output on ch. 1 and ch. 2
Internal Audio Path:
-Two VCOs are entangled with their audio outputs mapped to one another’s FM inputs.
-Each oscillator then goes into its own wavefolder.
-The wavefolder’s both have a dedicated lowpass gate.
-The low pass gates are fed into a VCA for volume modulation
-Each VCA is then sent into a stereo mixer
-The stereo mix feeds into two spring reverb units for Left and Right.
-A limiter is placed on the output for master volume control and clip protection
Internal CV Path:
-Free running random voltage generators are fed into a dedicated CV mixer for each VCO.
-The random voltage amount and crossmodulation are mixed with another to create a 1v/octave signal for the VCOs.
-The trigger outputs of each random voltage generator ping the lowpass gates.
-The random voltages go into a full wave rectifier and are used as CV signals for the two VCAs: this creates random volume fluctuations for each channel.
Metamodule knob mappings:
A - VCO 1 Frequency
B - VCO 2 Frequency
C - VCO 1 Random CV
D - VCO 2 Random CV
E - Random rate 1
F - Random rate 2
U - Random 1 crossmodulation
V - Random 2 crossmodulation
W - VCO crossmodulation
X - Wavefold
Y - Decay time
Z - Random shape

EF118 Vulcan's Hammer
video upload by electrofaustus
"This device is an accelerometer-controlled oscillator. It works by reading the position along a 180-degree x-axis and translating to a frequency. In the fully back position, the oscillator is at its lowest note – roughly 100hz (or D3 on the musical scale). As you rotate the hammer forward, pitch increases. In this position, the frequency is roughly 2000hz (or B6 on the musical scale). That’s about a 4-octave range. The controls are straightforward: A red push button on/off switch and a knob to control volume. The ¼ inch audio output jack is located at the bottom of the handle. It’s powered by 3 AAA batteries located inside the enclosure that come included in the unit when purchased. They can be easily replaced by unscrewing the base. Vulcan’s Hammer goes on sale today and retails for $200"
Check with dealers on the right for availability.
"Like the Roman God Vulcan, what if you could generate immortal oscillations from a mighty hammer? Ponder no more. Vulcan’s Hammer by Electro-Faustus allows you to call to the Gods by simply rotating the device along a 180 degree field. Note range is roughly 100Hz (D3) to 2000Hz (B6). That’s almost 4 octaves! Powered by 3 AAA batteries.
*Like all of our devices, the Vulcan’s Hammer is noisy and glitchy by design. Have fun with it!"

DYNACORD P20 Programmable Digital Drum Computer / Computer & Drum-to-Midi-Converter
video upload by ohm_studi_ohm
Pics and listing links previously posted here.
"Quick functionnal demo of the Dynacord P20.
Though being a very simple digital drum expander the P20 has quite some comprehensive features.
It has 24 builtin sounds and 5 more can be added with cartridges, the same used for the Percuter.
Sounds can be played by triggers or by MIDI, and the unit can be used as a trigger to midi converter. When using MIDI you get dynamics over the sounds.
You can program 90 presets with any combination of sounds (or midi out only), volume, midi notes and channel, dynamics and a very effective 'echo' effect. It's a re trigger features that mimics an echo effect. I demo this features at the end of the video.
There is also a special midi mode where you have the whole 29 sounds available at hands. I demo this also in the video."

Video in the listing previously posted here.
"A true powerhouse module — rare, complex, and undeniably unique. The Zeroscillator from Cynthia is a thru-zero analog oscillator with advanced wavefolding and phase modulation capabilities. If you’re looking for a standard VCO, this isn’t it. If you want to explore FM synthesis and sonic territory most modules only dream of, this is exactly it.
This particular unit is in very good condition, with minor signs of use (mostly cosmetic — see photos). Functionally, it works exactly as it should.
Important note on depth:
This is a large module, clocking in at 36HP wide and approximately 90mm (3.5”) deep. It is not skiff-friendly, so make sure your case has the clearance."

Biggest issue is my ability to play in the first place 😆
Timming and velocity feel much better when not recording though
Well after several times trying to record a couple minutes that’s best i came up with before abounding this patch
Definitely will keep practising

"A piece built from field recordings captured near a forest in Tokyo, combined with piano and a @buchlausa Music Easel. Amid flowing water and rustling trees, electronic tones and piano lines emerge.
Piano (YAMAHA CP‑88): Performed live, then mixed as two layers—the dry signal and a processed version treated with LOSSY and @gfisys SPECULAR TEMPUS.
Music Easel: Routed through @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD for reverb, micro‑looping, and pitch shifting.

DOZE - Ambient Modular #6 // Arbhar, Moog Subharmonicon
video upload by David Falcon
"doze
verb (uk /dəʊz/ us /doʊz/)
to have a short, light sleep from which you can easily wake up.
La sensación de esta semana de "vacaciones" es del cansancio acumulado, de niños enfermos y no encontrar un momento de desconexión.
Este tema es un poco un reflejo de ese sentimiento, un bucle interminable y pequeñas distracciones constantemente.
La parte técnica es bastante sencilla: una secuencia de tres notas en el Moog Subharmonicon que proceso en el modular. El Instruo Arbhar actúa como efecto granular y reverb, y los transientes del Subharmonicon trigean la captura en Arbhar. Uso bastante esporádico del Qubit Prism.
Es un tema para sentarse e intentar relajarse y frenar del ritmo frenético del día a día.
Gracias por escuchar.
David.
(eng)
The feeling of this "vacation" week is one of accumulated fatigue, sick children and not finding a moment to disconnect.
This track is a bit of a reflection of that feeling, an endless loop and constant little distractions.
The technical part it is quite simple: a sequence of three notes in the Moog Subharmonicon that I process in the modular. The Instruo Arbhar acts as a granular effect and reverb, and the Subharmonicon transients trigger the capture in Arbhar. Quite sporadic use of the Qubit Prism.
Sit back and relax from the stresses of life for a bit.
Thank you for listening.
