"Etches Tutorial Series — Playlist Summary

A six-part walkthrough of Etches, covering every control on the instrument and how the sections work together. Watch in order if you're starting out, or jump to a specific video to reference a particular feature.

Etches is a touch-controlled synthesizer with FM oscillator, tape-style delay, stereo reverb, and an 160-second recorder. The series moves from setup through performance: power and calibration first, then articulation, sound design, effects, tuning, and finally the recorder.

**What's covered across the series:**

1. **Getting Started** — Power, stereo output, how the touch-resistive pads respond, SWELL as volume control, and calibrating SENS to your environment.

2. **The Articulation Pads** — STAC for plucked envelopes, DRIVE as combined overdrive and FM intensifier, INVERSE for parameter drift across seven destinations.

3. **The Oscillator** — FM synthesis basics, EDGE waveshape morphing, CYCLE for pluck character, and the FLUX/ORBIT pair that controls FM depth and rate.

4. **Effects** — Tape-style delay with self-oscillation, stereo reverb (SUSTAIN, FORM, WALLS), and the default signal flow through the instrument.

5. **Tuning** — ROOT for tonic, SCALE for quantization across twelve built-in scales, INDEX/SHIFT for ±4 octaves of transposition.

6. **The Recorder** — Splices vs. loops, REC and OVERDUB, the START/END loop window, TRAVEL as LFO modulation of loop points, SCROLL between splices, BLEND and SPEED, and the two routing modes.

By the end of the series, you'll have a working understanding of every knob and pad on Etches and how to combine them into musical gestures and full pieces.

From Harsh To Mellow: Oberheim TEO-5 Synthesizer

video upload by Insect O.

"I played the Oberheim TEO-5 polysynth at Superbooth in Berlin. This synth goes from harsh, aggressive textures to warm, mellow tones with ease — especially suited for techno and electronic music production. The onboard effects sound great, the crunchy saturation adds serious character, and the classic SEM filter delivers that unmistakable Oberheim flavor. Through-zero FM opens up even more experimental and metallic sound design possibilities."

Moog MuRF feedback

video upload by Todd Barton

"Today I got a question on this old video of my about my Res EQ feedback patch here • Serge ResEQ Feedback [posted here]
They were wondering if there was a non-modular guitar pedal that would do the same. The only pedal like that that I have is my vintage MoogerFooger MuRF pedal...so here goes it. MuRF Left output to its Audio input, Right output to Amp.

p.s. these pedals are expensive and discontinued . . . while not a fan of Behringer I do see they, of course, have made a less expensive knockoff."

Turning the Perkons HD-01 Into a Drone Synth

video upload by Mark Cee

"Drone sounds never really appealed to me until I started studying textures. Over time I became drawn to the idea — and to the tools used to compose this way. What I didn't realize is that I've had a very capable drone synth right under my nose for the last 3 years.
The Perkons HD-01 is usually known as a drum machine, but each voice is so much more which makes it great for sustained, evolving textures. I tuned each voice and sent it all through my Meris Mercury X for reverb. I couldn't help adding a few notes from the OP-1 Field on top. After that I just jammed and was reminded how the simplicity of an instrument like this never grows old. It's been my buddy since the day it was released and still brings me a lot of joy to this day."
