Modular session 2026-10-09 live take 150bpm broken beats

video upload by Renku Corporation

"Spent the whole weekend going deep on this one. Lots of stuff going on, this was the 3rd take. Filled up almost all the mutes! The basics of the patch is Zaps into Panharmonium, split from there, and the Buck Modular Drumf**k into QPAS into Rings, split from there. Numeric Repetitor does the Zaps, drums are Social Entropy Engine mostly, and many many others got in on this one. The new WMD Skorpion is used on the Irukandji glitch drum used as a bass, after running through a TTA Z2040 and post-wave-folder is the Morpheus filter. The Tasty Chips ECR1+ is doing a big very thing with convolution. Beads is blurring away, and Clouds is in but you might not know it. Audio Damage Boomtshack is the snare through Godsbox Lollipop compressor with Jomox Modbase as the kick through the Jellysquasher. Main hat is Plonk, Polaris filter, 4ms DLD. The Synthesis Tech E520 processor runs a spectral delay on one path of the Plonk/pan."

4ms Podcast Ep. 5: Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

video upload by 4ms Company

"Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith found her voice when a neighbor lent her a Buchla 100 synthesizer in 2011. Buchla, and other vintage rare synthesizers became the heart of a body of work that includes Euclid, Ears (named one of the best albums of 2016 by Pitchfork, NPR Music, and Resident Advisor), The Kid, The Mosaic of Transformation, Let's Turn It Into Sound, and last year's Gush and Thoughts on the Future as well as her upcoming album RUIN: It’s Not Just Music - which comes out Oct 2nd.

She's made records with synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani (Sunergy), composer Emile Mosseri (I Could Be Your Dog / I Could Be Your Moon), and Hot Chip's Joe Goddard (Neptunes). She's remixed Max Richter, Perfume Genius, Danny Elfman, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, been remixed by Four Tet, and scored the film Omni Loop, starring Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Edebiri.

This year she launched her own label, Someone Special, and its first release is her new album, Ruin: It's Not Just Music, out Oct 2nd - which is a Drum and Bass inspired album.

In this episode we get deeper with Kaitlyn's background, philosophy, and creative process."

Ambient cascades | Novation Circuit Monostation, Stylophone Gen X-2 and S-1, Vongon pedals, eurorack

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I enjoyed having the Vongon Solarfaze and Polyphrase on the table for my last jam and left them there on a whim. That was the starting point. Next, I needed to run a synth through them, so I chose the Novation Circuit Monostation. I borrowed the CMS from a friend and had been looking to make some music with it; my opinion is that it's an extremely underrated synth that can do way more than people recognized at the time. And once I had its sequencer running and a bassline queued up, I could hear more of what was needed.

I also recently got a couple of Stylophones, because they are extremely affordable—the S-1 was something like $60 Canadian—and because I like the sound of them. Using the CMS's CV outputs, I sent a second set of sequences to the Gen X-2, which has CV input. I also took advantage of the Gen X-2's beautiful internal delay for cascading performances. The S-1 ended up my improv melody device for the last third of the song.

At this point, I needed reverb but didn't want to add multiple reverb boxes, so I added the Jellymix to act as stereo send to all the synths. For reverb, I chose the Swells, because I currently have it in a case with the Fieldtone Weaver and Qu-Bit Stardust, which can add a lot to a mix through stereo sample mangling. The Stardust is playing something that came from the CMS into Weaver; the Weaver is playing a snippet of my voice.

By this point, I could hear the full song, and it was just a matter of adding a couple of sequences and performing the whole thing. Pretty fun to see how wanting to explore a bit of hardware can lead to a finished song.

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

Testing the “final” arrangement of this little Eurorack Modular ;-)

video upload by John L Rice

"Vermona meloDICER being clocked and 'diced' (randomized) by an Erica Synths TRIGG while I play with the melody range. The voice is a Happy Nerding HM VCO pulse wave out into an Erica Synths MODulator module (EG and VCA). The VCO’s pulse width is being modulated by a 2hp Seq sequencer module that is also stepped by the TRIGG module. All in a 4ms Company Pod48x case and reverb from the external Yamaha MG 10 XU mixer.

"Join us for a dive into EQ, compression and stereo image creation and control with the 4ms LEQA, Levelling EQ Amplifier. Not only is this a demo of this specific module but a deeper look across many musical styles at how these tools work, why you might want or need them and how they sit within a Eurorack modular environment. I hope it highlights these production tools not just as an end of chain bit of a colour but as a creative important tool for music making and sound shaping while highlighting how to listen to what they do."

New from 4ms Company, the Leveling EQ Amplifier!

video upload by 4ms Company

"Announcing the Leveling EQ Amplifier: stereo widening, Neve 1073 style EQ, and LA-2A style optical compression in 14hp. $345 available June 30th from your favorite synth retailer."

The Leveling EQ Amplifier is an end-of-chain audio processor designed to polish individual elements of a patch, stereo bus, or full master bus.

Inspired by the simple interfaces and pleasing sounds of two cornerstones of mixing, the LA-2A optical compressor and the 1073 EQ, the LEQA combines a compressor, an equalizer, and a modern Stereo Width Processor in one 14HP package.

Rather than being fully parametric, pre-defined curves and frequency selections make the art of mixing intuitive. Very little effort is needed for great sounding mixes.

The compressor mimics optical compression, which is a beautifully simple concept that yields incredibly musical results.

The EQ section is built to help accentuate and excite your mix, clear up muddled sounds, and increase the overall headroom.

The Stereo Width Processor adjusts the stereo image, letting you dial back a wide image into a cohesive sound, or push a normal stereo signal into "super stereo" territory. When used with mono sources, it can widen mono sources into stereo using a combination of psychoacoustic techniques.

The Leveling EQ Amplifier excels in live performances, studio work, subtle utility tasks, extreme sonic sculpting, audio "glue" to hold a patch together, and as an effect in its own right.

Global release date: June 30th, 2026.
