Mixing it up w/ Zeptocore, AudCalc & Dirtywave M8

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Chill generative beats...

Using the M8 to randomly sound off drone-ish sine waves with some of the new 'shimmer' reverb in the latest firmware.

Zeptocore is synced to M8 via MIDI clock and providing some chopped samples I fed it.

AudCal is running three different sounds that I'm triggering by hand. I created a pattern of notes on each of the sound/channels to help me differentiate which one was selected."

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

From my forthcoming custom bank 'Quatrain Vol.1' for the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Fourm, this one is called SM Insidious, making great use of the Fourms modulation options. This synth is excellent for film and game scoring.

Enjoy

This Peak Patch is ALL Random

video upload by Saß

"Welcome to Crazy Random Patch Episode 2!
Ever feel stuck with an idea? Just twist all the knobs and press all the buttons!

In this episode, I made a patch on my Novation Peak, aptly titled "Robo Factory," reminiscent of what you might hear in a robotic car factory from a cyberpunk future, or maybe some weird magical mechanical beast from some dark fantasy dungeon (like the kind from RPGs where its fantasy but they have guns lol). Then, I made a very small beat featuring it to show that it can be used musically! I really hope you enjoy this kind of content, so please let me know if you do or don't! See you in the next video!

video upload by Stromer Mutroniks

"Another video of my version of the Mica sonic electric bongos. This time played with an Arturia Keystep Pro."

Follow-up to this post.

New pics in green via this Reverb listing

"My recreation of the Mica-Sonic Electric Bongos.

Here's Soundgas description of the Stromer Bongos:

'A handbuilt analogue recreation of the fabled electronic percussion circuit as used by Madlib and on the legendary recording of Ann Peebles 'I Can't Stand the Rain'.'

These are handbuilt in small batches so expect some inconsistencies with the finish - sonically they're very close to the originals (though all originals vary in tone/timbre now due to component ageing/drift."

Each drum tone has a trim pot inside that's been adjusted so that the oscillator is just below the point of self-oscillation. When triggered, the circuit oscillates at its resonant frequency and rings out like a drum. Pushing in the 'mute' button shortens the decay.

To play these you need something that sends trigger pulses, like a beat- or key-step pro, or a drum machine with trigger outputs. Works with your standard center negative 9 volt adapter (not included)."

MACHINA BRISTRONICA w/ Stromkult

video uploads by Stromkult

Playlist:

1. MPE on Supercritical Synthesizer Redshift 6 - Bristonica 25

Now capable of MPE!

The latest Redshift update introduces MPE functionality.
This feature, which addresses frequent customer requests, enables compatibility with MPE-capable controllers, such as the LinnStrument.

2. Verbos Electronics Multistage 16- Bristronica 25

New evolution of the Voltage Multistage, one of the first Verbos Modules.
The original Voltage Multistage has an analog sequencer core with several unique features that allow it to function as a sequencer with switchable slides on each step, multistage envelope of any length with sustain on any stage, any shape of LFO, voltage quantizer, and more.

The Voltage Multistage 16 is no longer based on a CMOS counter core, but is built around discrete transistor stages, which enables gate inputs on each stage. This allows external gates to jump it to any stage, multiple loops and sequences that start at one stage and then enter into a loop later.

3. Ohm Force Bohm - Bristronica 25

Explore uncharted kick territory. Choose from nine unique models (and counting) and let the randomizer surprise your creativity. Precision sound-shaping knobs with wide sweet spots make flawless tweaks effortless.

4. TouellSkouarn - Bristronica 25

Gael is revealing the modules that are currently housed in his suitcase. Including the Strakal Brulu and the one and only Germanium Mixer. If you check the prices of old Germanium mixers, such as the Siemens, you will see that this one is a real bargain. As always, there is a lovely sound at his booth; no sine is allowed to pass through this Eurorack system.

TouellSkouarn: Squaring your sines since 2010

5. Crosspatch Triggerpad Updates - Launchpad Sequencer - Bristronica 25

Mitja tells us the latest news about his module at this year's Machina Bristonica. The Triggerpad module converts your Launchpad into a standalone Eurorack. This allows you to repurpose an older Launchpad that might be gathering dust for your Eurorack system. The workflow is super simple and hands-on. You have features such as polymeter per track, swing and micro steps at your fingertips. The new features are BPM modulation and triplets.

6. UDO Audio DMNO 8-voice 2-part multitimbral - Bristonica 25

We have just had the opportunity to take a first look at the new, innovative synth from UDO Audio: the DMNO.
Here's a short interview and sound demo from George!

Features:
8 voice polyphonic, with 4 ‘super’ voices when in Binaural mode. Binaural mode gives each channel (ear) a full synthesizer voice with independent detuning and modulation, creating an expansive, rich and texturally wide sound 2-Part Multitimbral, comprising 2 independent hybrid synthesizers, each with its own dedicated set of front-panel controls
8 selectable ‘Play Modes’ that immediately reconfigure DMNO’s signal flow, redefining how its two independent synth engines interact with one another

7. Teaching Machines FuzzBillon: Numerical Tone Switching – Bristronica 25

Instead of using potentiometers for the device's settings, Teaching Machines uses numerical switches. This offers the advantage of total recall. The effects range from subtle overdrive to screaming distortion and are based on a completely analogue circuit with amplification devices from Germanium to Silicon and light-emitting diodes.

Playlist:

1. - 4. ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS 01 - 04 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

I got to spend some quality time with the Hexdrums - it sounds really beefy and each voice has a tonne of sweet spots. The Hexdrums has loads of saturation available, is built to a high standard and feels very performative. This is the first of four videos.

Check out my samples on Bandcamp - loads of vintage and modern drum machines and more, all samples ethically-sourced and locally-grown here in the lab in Bristol, UK: https://lostlvls.bandcamp.com/

5. ERICA SYNTHS PERKONS HD-01 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

The formidable Perkons HD-01 was available at Machina Bristronica - how could I resist? For my money the Perkons is the most 'jammable' and gratifying drum machine on the market, hands-down. The person using it before filming this session was dancing and really enjoying their time with it. Was a joy to witness!

6. MODOR DR-2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

The excellent DR-2 drum machine from Modor aka Marcel Belmans. Was a treat to finally meet Marcel and discuss his creations. In this video Marcel kindly demonstrated the DR-2 for us.

7. BODY SYNTHS METAL FETISHIST x2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

Progress on the Teensy TDM synth

video upload by Craig Barnes

"Latest update of the Teensy 4.1 based audio library synth. I've ditched the hardware envelopes because they lacked real-time control and only changed on a fresh key press, so now the Electric Druid Envgen8c chips are back in their sockets on envelope duty. I've opted for log envelopes although I think the AS2164 has a lin/log converter, I need to check."

PlantsSystem-MobileHome+

video upload by plantssystem

"Still Life In Mobile Homes (PlantsSystem ReEdit)
Originally 'Still Life In Mobile Homes' by UK band JAPAN, PlantsSystem has re-edited this delicate, introspective track with a unique interpretation, giving it a new texture.

This album was produced and mastered entirely using the tracker-type DAW 'Renoise' resulting in a sound born from a thoroughly minimalist environment.

The album is imbued with deep respect for Steve Nye, the engineer behind JAPAN classic album 'Tin Drum' and his influence is evident in the meticulous sonic balance and atmospheric feel.

While retaining the tension and space of the original, the album is reinterpreted with the crisp clarity and spaciousness that only digital can provide. This classic song takes on a new face.

Mother Global Settings Editor for the Moog Grandmother and Matriarch by DIRE Studio

via DIRE Studio

"The proper Grandmother and Matriarch editor has landed.

Mother Global Settings is an intuitive editor for Moog's Grandmother and Matriarch synthesizers. Sporting a 500-series rack inspired control-per-function interface, it's a huge improvement over the quirky global settings editing method of these instruments.
For Mac and iPad.

Supports the creative flow.

Each setting is accessible with two clicks/taps at maximum, allowing you to concentrate on creating your music. Actual values are instantly visible on the screen, which may also prevent a disaster by letting you see output voltage levels. And we have added octave buttons to easily set and check keyboard transposition, as well as a sequence selector override for the Matriarch, letting you quickly switch to any sequence — not just adjacent ones.

Expanded control panel.

Separate items for oscillator frequency ranges on the Matriarch. Fine grained control over MIDI output and local control. Extra glide toggle and arp/seq gate length settings managed by the app. And a panic button in case the synth goes rebel.

Presets.

Save all global settings, as well as our extra settings, into files that you can archive with other project material or share with others. Quickly recall them when needed. And of course you can reset all settings to factory defaults.

Keyboard control.

Keyboard shortcuts for settings affecting synthesizer parameters that you may wish to change during live performance or recording: Gate Length, Swing, FW/BW End Note Repeat, Allow Seq Random Repeat, Delay Seq Change, Pitch Variance, Gated Glide, Legato Glide, Paraphonic Unison, Update Unison on Note-Off, Noise Filter Cutoff, Delay Filter Brightness and Multi Trig.

Equally at home on stage and in the studio.

Direct USB connection for the fastest operation and complete auto-detection — perfect for live performance. 5-pin MIDI support for connecting via MIDI interfaces — and even through MIDI routers — allows you to integrate the app into complex studio setups."

The Analog Eclipse | KORG minilogue xd | Dark to Rock One-Synth-Jam

video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"Even though I’ve got dozens of unfinished projects on my trusty Teenage Engineering OP-XY (some of them almost ready) I felt the need to break the cycle. I had the sense I was starting to repeat myself. So I turned to one of my favorite analog synths, the KORG minilogue xd, looking for a patch that could spark something new. And from that came this track… though I’m still not sure what exactly it is.

As usual, the atmosphere is dark, but halfway through it unexpectedly takes on a rock-inspired twist before returning to its original mood. I even tried reworking the idea on the OP-XY to make it more polished (and complex), but in the end I decided to record it raw—exactly as it came to me.

Hope you enjoy it. I plan to explore this same process on other synths as well. Let me know in the comments if this journey through analog synth sound design intrigues you.
