Background Modulars No.11 Serge Paperface Again

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Don’t have a real Serge Modular Paperface to hand? No worries! Just put this video on in the background (in full-screen mode), and have the next best thing 😁

Here is 10 minutes of self-playing modular synthesiser randomness. Why not put it on loop - then you can have it playing away in the background while you do other things

A note on the patch: I'm using the LW Gated Comparator and the 2 original Paperface Sequencers (from the mid-70s) to run things - as always with a big Serge patch its virtually impossible to keep track of all the connections - its a very complex system - but I use lots of delays here - the vintage Wilson, plus a brand new Prism Circuits Cascade Delay. There are the old Serge dual spring reverbs in here, and the VC stereo mixer to mix it all up and move it all around. This patch is more melodic, using a Serge format Voltage Quantizer to hold it all together. It's going through my Neve 88D along with some vintage FX units - an AMS RMX16, a Bel BD80S and a Lexicon Model 300"

Louis Cole - “Bank Account” Synth Cover (Oberheim OB-X8)

video upload by Emilio Rivera

"Hey everyone! It’s been a while. I can hardly believe it’s been over 3 years since my last video and I want to apologize for my lack of activity. To be honest, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with music for a long time and I thought I had quit for good, but thankfully my friends didn’t let that happen. Praise God! So here I am with a short video of a silly little Louis Cole song that I decided to learn. This one is harder than it looks but it was really fun and satisfying to play once I got the hang of it. I hope you enjoy it!

I also want to say thank you to everyone for continuing to support my preset packs and watching my videos. It really means a lot to me. Lord willing, I’ll be back again soon with another video! Until next time :)

Introducing Pip Filter & Pip LFO by ALM

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'Pip Filter' is a compact 4HP voltage controlled 2 pole low-pass filter with resonance and built in VCA. Here we take a look at all the features of the module.

The filter cutoff is controlled via both knob control and dual CV inputs with a built in attenuverter. Resonance is manually controlled and will reach into self oscillation with rough V/Oct tracking. A trigger input allows the filter to be pinged for percussive plucked type sounds. Finally, a built in VCA (normalled open) allows for additional independent amplitude control of the filtered signal.

The “Pip Filter’ provides a classic lowpass filter sound in a small form factor with many useful features for sound sculpting."

Introducing Pip LFO

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'Pip LFO' is a compact 4HP all analogue low frequency oscillator with a wide frequency range, voltage control, numerous outputs, reset input and a VCO mode. Here we take a look at all the features of the module.

The frequency of the Pip LFO is set via a manual control and voltage control input. The module features a unipolar square wave output along with both bipolar and uni-polar triangle, saw and sine waveform outputs. When VCO mode is activated, the frequency jumps to audio range and will track V/Oct for approx 5 octaves. A reset input allows the LFO waveform cycle to be reset and produces hard sync functionality in VCO mode.

The Pip LFO’s compact design makes it easy to add a modulation source and an analogue voice into any system."

Octave CAT SRM Model 1853 SN B4046

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

via this eBay listing

"A bold, duophonic analog classic with a reputation for massive tone and underrated flexibility.

This is the Mk II version of the legendary Octave CAT — a U.S.-built synth from the mid-to-late 1970s that offers two VCOs with saw, square, and triangle waveforms (VCO 1 only), cross modulation, oscillator sync, and mixable waveforms. With duophonic capabilities and a famously powerful filter section, the CAT delivers deep bass, snarling leads, and complex drones with ease.

Key Features:

Two VCOs with independent modulation routing

Oscillator sync, cross-mod, and sub-octave options

VCF with audio-rate modulation and noise source

SRM (Series Revision Model) Mk II panel layout with white-only graphics

Bypass switch, modulation source selectors, and fine-tuning control

Serial number B4046

This unit is fully functional and sounds incredible. Cosmetically, it shows normal wear for its age, but everything works as intended.

An increasingly rare and highly regarded U.S.-made synth that stands tall next to the Minimoog, ARP Odyssey, and Pro-One — but with its own unique voice and vibe."

While other manufacturers either “pass on savings from process optimization” or relentlessly jack up prices once people are actually buying their music making toys, our favorite interior design company/copyright agency/nepo baby cult just flexed their monstrous marketing muscle and - did both at the same time.
