SYNTH-WERK SW 8101 BODE BARBERPOLE PHASER
video upload by SYNTH-WERK
"The BODE BARBERPOLE PHASER offers 9 phase stages and various sound manipulation features. The option to insert an additional effect into the feedback loop or one of the two audio pathes is one of them.
The main feature of the BPP/product is infinity phasing. Infinity phasing is a psychoacoustic effect based on the Shepard scale, which was introduced in 1964 by the psychologist Roger N. Shepard. It creates the illusion of an infinitely ascending or descending scale that never exceeds the limit of one‘s hearing.
The combination of the various features like left-right panning or the transfer of a monofonic input signal into a stereo output signal and modulation of the phaser creates a sonic soundstage in the tradition of Harald Bodes ”Klangumformer” principal. If you think you know the sound of a Phaser, you need to listen to the Barberpole Phaser to understand the possibilities of a 'Klangumformer'"

Skirting the Narrows
video upload by davidryle
"Instruo Harmonaig and MI Marbles with Acid Rain Technology Ripsaw and Doepfer A-111-4 and A-105-4. These quad vcos and filter setups were used along with some 5U large format modules from Synthetic Sound Labs, synthesizers.com, Grove Audio, Oakley Sound Systems and Moon Modular to present various sound sketches of the Harmonaig's chord outputs.
The percussive opening part trigger pattern was taken from the 4MS Quad Clock Distributor, RCD, and a switch module. The Modcan dual delay was time shifted using a triple switch module in the 5U.
Additional transpose sequences were mixed from the dotcom Q960 and Marbles to the Harmonaig.
All sounds were recorded in real-time to Cubase and video edited in Final Cut Pro."

via this Reverb listing
You can find demos in previous posts here.
From the listing:
"If you have not been following the 5U scene, you may or may not know that Suit and Tie Guy's eurorack company, STG Soundlabs, was acquired in a private equity trade valued at 6 million $DOGE by America's oldest synthesizer company, MuSonics (makers of fine musical instruments). You may also not know that this new and revitalized MuSonics then set about completing the work that Tom Oberheim started and created the "Vanilla Synthesizer" -- the culmination of all of the circuit and synthesis ideas of the Oberheim Two Voice. This is the first version of that synthesizer.
If you want SEM type sounds, this is the best sounding SEM that it is possible to introduce into your studio in the year of our lord 2025. Arguably, it is the best sounding analog monophonic synthesizer that currently exists. Set aside that it obviously looks beautiful and amazing and ergonomic and that it invites you to play it; it simply sounds better than any other monosynth made in this millennium.
Including STG's unique backplane CV/Gate cables to pre-patch control signals between modules, making these modules something like an Oberheim SEM with Arp 2600 pre-patchability -- this thing is a true modern classic. :)"

“Liar, Liar, 960 Denier!” 😅
video upload by John L Rice
"I’ve been getting a bit burnt out doing endless video editing lately so when my friend David (Kindred Lost) made a nice cover/demo of his Moog 960 style sequencer doing the bass sequence from Tangerine Dream’s 'Rubycon' and said 'nothing but the 960 can do this' so I fired up my trusty Moon 569 sequencer to see if I could do it too! 🤓 David’s demo sound much more 'Moogy' that mine and is closer to the original TD track, I mainly just wanted to see if I could recreate similar patterns. Check out David's video 👌😎: • Franke and Ruby [posted here]

Oakley: Slim VCO B (as VC clock)
Marienberg: Envelope Generator A, VC Sine Phase Oscillator

"I keep returning to the bass line off of Tangerine Dreams 'Rubycon' (1975).
This rendering is more of an exploration of variations of how to control that sequence on the synthesizers.com Q960, a clone of the Moog 960 Sequential Controller. Short but fun and always satisfying.
The oscillators used were the Q169 dual Oscillator, a Q206 and Q206A. The Q169 is in square wave and sync, the Q206 is doubling in a sawtooth wave. The Q206A is a triangle wave directly to the mix in a lower octave.
The filter was the Grove Audio G294A Tribute Series Moog transistor ladder low pass.
I also used a tube drive from the Synthetic Sound Labs/CGS 1530 Tube VCA/Timbral Gate module after the output of the filter.
The envelope generators included a Q109 for the final VCA shape, another Q109 as the filter shape, an STG EG for the tube drive gate shape and another STG EG for the lower bass vco.
The signal was split and sent to the Yusynth panning mixer from Lower West Side Studios and to an Echo Fix tape echo/reverb device. The tape echo was panned using the second row of the Q960 sequencer. That row was also sending a filter modulation voltage. The final output of the mix was sent through an Empress Reverb pedal in red reverb+delay setting.
The final third row of the Q960 sequencer was used in 'Third Row Control Of Timing' mode for the fast burst motion as in the original bass line performance by Tangerine Dream."

CS80 inspired VCF
video upload by Cornel Hecht
"Both filters (HPF and LPF) feature adjustable resonance, which boosts the sound at the cutoff frequency. This gives the CS-80 its distinctive "singing" character, especially for string and brass sounds."

Hell Modular CS80 INSPIRED DUAL FILTER
video upload by Cornel Hecht
"The CS-80 is renowned for its rich, expressive sound, and its filters play a crucial role in that. Here are the key characteristics of the CS-80's filters:
Dual Filter Design Per Voice
This is a standout feature. Each of the CS-80's eight voices boasts two independent filters:
1. High-Pass Filter (HPF): With adjustable cutoff frequency and resonance.
2.Low-Pass Filter (LPF): Also with adjustable cutoff frequency and resonance.
These two filters can be used simultaneously, enabling unique band-pass effects and exceptionally flexible sound shaping. The cascading of these filters results in a very characteristic, mid-range-focused sound."

90s Era Moog Modular 9501, 9502, & 9505 Modules
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
9501 VCO via these eBay listings
These appear to be Don Martin Moog modules. He owned the trademark in the US for a period of time before it went back to Bob Moog. He also made a Minimoog which became known as the Donimoog. Alex Winter owned the rights to Moog in the 90s in the UK, and produced the "Welsh Minimoog".
Descriptions from the listings:
"This listing is for one Moog Modular 9501 VCO module. This module is from the brief period of time Moog modules were being remade in the 90's. Check out the pictures to see the quality; this module looks to be missing a couple of the socketed components and a resistor (plus a few of the switches need to be soldered). I am unsure of the functionality as I do not own a Moog Modular to test it with but in general it looks great. The module still has plastic on the front panel. This module is sold untested and as-is."
"This listing is for one Moog Modular 9505 Reverberation Unit module. This module is from the brief period of time Moog modules were being remade in the 90's.

A Towel For Ms Winters
video upload by davidryle
"Large format modular synthesizer recording live in the studio.
The opening noise burst is the Dove WTF in noise mode along with the Sputnik WCRS to an Oakley SVF in band pass mode to the Modcan 73B dual Delay and Z-DSP with Halls of Valhalla reverb. Modulation to the 73B is from the STG Voltage Mini Stores for delay cv.
Noise cacophony part is a pair of STG Soundlabs Oscillators to the Oakley Sound Systems Ring Modulator to a Grove Audio LPF and a MegaOhm Audio MA20 in highpass mode. The signal is sent to a tape echo then compressor.
The echo drone bass is the dotcom Q169 vco to a Moon 517S LPF. The echo delay is a stereo Lexicon MX200.
The lower bass tone is the Woven Spirits (MI Plaits) from Synthetic Sound Labs. Straight in, no filter or envelope. The chords are a pair of dotcom Q206 vcos and a pair of Q106 vcos for four part harmony. The cv source is the dual Matrix from SSL in dorian modes. A pair of dotcom Q171 and Q172 Quantizers were used with gates from the Geo-Gruvn to time the S&H pitch voltages. Toward the latter half of the piece I was playing the quantizers to change modes from augmented to diminished and back again. The audio signals are sent through a LWSS Yusynth panning mixer then a pair of filters. The Dove D502 in low pass four pole and the Frequency Central System X in 24dB low pass mode. They are sent to the Empress Reverb pedal in blue sparkle mode.
All gate timings were provided by the SSL Hagiwo Geo-Gruvn sequencer and the STG Time Divider. Additional divider s are the Moon 564, Moon 563 and STG Trigger Mini Store.
The theme here was the well known stories of the femme-fatale-gone-awry roles Shelly Winters played in many famous movies. She was drowned a few times and it became an urban legend of sorts. A great actress that rarely was rewarded with much favor but did finally reach a celebrated status."

Covalence
video upload by davidryle
"Large format 5U modular synthesizer with the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave.
Two passes. The first was the modular synth, and the second was the played lines on the keyboard. All sounds except the melodic part was recorded in real time from the modular.
Two Matrix Algorithmic Composer modules from Synthetic Sound Labs were used for the moving lines throughout. These were fed to a pair of SSL/Ian Fritz Thru-Zero oscillators. The outputs were mixed straight and also split to an Encore Electronics Frequency Shifter, MOTM 440 Filter and heavily modulated 73B Modcan Dual Delay. Further processing with the Empress reverb and the Dove Audio D501 filter.
The bass notes were generated by the STG Soundlabs Voltage Mini Store to a pair of STG Oscillators and a Dove Audio WF. The filters included the MegaOhmAudio MA20 and the Frequency Central System X LPF.
A Q960 sent the arpeggio sweep voltage to an SSL VCO through a Behringer DD400 digital delay.
A Ring Modulator patch on the Q169 Qxcillator ++ from Synthesizers.com was directed through an Oakley Sound Diode Super Ladder filter then through an SSL Digital Delay.
The S&H sounding patch was not a sample & hold at all. It was a combination of a Q960, West Coast Random Source, MosLab 901/904A and a MegaOhmAudio CdS through an Oakley VC State Variable Filter."
