The "Plantasia Moog" Modular Synth - An Untold Story

video upload by Alex Ball

"In 2023, Anthony Marinelli aquired a 1969 Moog IIIc modular synthesizer that has a very interesting history. In this video, we tell that story for the first time."

Lazarus Bubbles

video upload by Lower West Side Studio

"While playing around with a CGS29 Wave Multipliers I came up with a bubbling sound that reminded me of The Lazarus Pit from DC's Batman.

Here is a sample of the sound created by feeding some LFOs into a CGS29 then modulating it and twisting it with an Oakley Overdrive and MFOS 8-Stage Phase Shifter"

The Amazing Recording History of Here Comes the Sun

video upload by You Can't Unhear This

"Here Comes The Sun has become one of the most popular and treasured Beatles songs, a gateway into their music for many new fans. This 3-minute gem of unforgettable songwriting is also packed with intriguing anomalies, production quirks and even a mystery. Unlike the vast majority of Beatles songs, Here Comes the Sun was not written by the main songwriting duo of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, but rather by George Harrison, the youngest member of the quartet, who contributed two memorable pieces to the Abbey Road album - an endearing love song called Something, and the effervescent Here Comes the Sun.

I’m going to take you on a journey through the song’s creation and point out some of these surprises. As a fair warning, You Can't Unhear This.

Additional Retro Gear Shop Listings

"This setup would retail for $11,999 for the Model 10 and $1,499 for the 953 keyboard. Save a bunch here. Moog is discontinuing making the Model 10 and they won't be available for new much longer, so grab this while you can at a great price. The Model 10 is in mint shape with original box / paperwork, and the keyboard is in near mint shape with very minor signs of wear. Both come from original owner's smoke free home studio and were used only a handful of times. We tested the setup and found it to be fully functional. The only thing we noted is that the Model 10 oscillators perhaps needing some minor calibration across their wide range, which is common maintenance need for a modular analog synth and should be performed by the new owner as needed after transit."

Musical Chaos with the Synthetic Sound Labs - Hypster

video upload by NOISEBUG

"The Hypster from Synthetic Sound Labs strikes the perfect balance of chaos and playability.. it's full of surprises. The Hypster can be used as an oscillator in addition to chaotic CV generator. These are in stock and ready to ship.
#mumodular #synth #synthesizer #5umodular

https://www.noisebug.net/products/syn...

Want to add a little more CHAOS into your life? Here’s just the thing!

Introducing the Hypster – Model 1720 —It takes orderly, mundane circuits and transforms them into a wild ride of unpredictable mayhem! Why settle for boring, consistent signals when you can have a chaos generator that truly lives on the edge? Designed for those who find comfort in confusion and thrive on uncertainty, this gadget will have your synth screaming for mercy.

Designed in close collaboration with the Chief Chaos Crafter and Elite Entropy Engineer himself, Ian Fritz.

Features include:

Unruly Squiggles: Square waves? Sinusoidal? Yah! How about “It does what it wants”? The Hypster generates signals that even it doesn’t fully understand. Good luck figuring them out.
Whacky Waveforms: Comes with it’s own limited 2 channel Lissajous oscilloscope that will have your eyes crossed and your head spinning. Touch screen control of trace length & thickness.
Random Frequency Hopping: Is it 1Hz? Is it 10KHz? Who knows? The Hypster can help you slog through your synth frequencies like a snail on acid, or skip like a caffeinated rabbit on a pogo stick.
Amplitude Anarchy: Say goodbye to predictable voltage. Every signal is a surprise—a rollercoaster ride of peaks and troughs that’ll keep you on your toes.
Pseudorandom Personality: Switch between “Mild” or “Wild”, and “Curly” or “Squirrelly”. Turn up the “Rate”, “Gain” and “Damp” controls, and you’ll summon a signal so erratic, it might start communicating with the cosmos (no promises on what it’ll say).
Perfect for:

Mad Scientists: Because who doesn’t want to create something that could inadvertently open a portal to another dimension?
Frustrating Your Colleagues: Plug it into your synth setup, sit back, and watch the confusion unfold.
Breaking the Laws of Physics (Probably): We haven’t verified it, but we’re pretty sure the Hypster bends reality itself.
Important Notices:

The Hypster does its best to keep the chaos under control, but some settings can overload the circuits, requiring a restart (power-down). Expect abnormality!
The Lissajous LCD display tries to keep up, but is only a CRT simulation using software. At faster rates the CPU can’t keep up and smooth curves turn to spider webs. Sorry.
'U' & '-U' Outputs have larger P-P voltage swings by design.
Order now because your synth —and your brain—need it!"

Hypster CHAOS module from Synthetic Sound Labs

See this previous post for a demo.

Press release follows:

"CHAOS GENERATOR (MU FORMAT) ANNOUNCED

Want to add a little more CHAOS into your life? Here's just the thing.

Introducing the Hypster - Model 1720 —It takes orderly, mundane circuits and transforms them into a wild ride of unpredictable mayhem! Why settle for boring, consistent signals when you can have a chaos generator that truly lives on the edge?

Designed for those who find comfort in confusion and thrive on uncertainty, this gadget will have your synth screaming for mercy.

The Hypster produces signal waveforms varying from simple periodic to complicated multiperiodic to extremely dense and complex, both in the low frequency control range as well as up into audio frequencies. With an eight-signal output it can simultaneously control multiple synthesizer parameters or generate several audio waveforms for individual processing.

Designed in close collaboration with the Chief Chaos Crafter and Elite Entropy Engineer himself, Ian Fritz.

Features include:

• Unruly Squiggles: Square waves? Sinusoidal? Yah! How about “It does what it wants”? The Hypster generates signals that even it doesn't fully understand. Good luck figuring them out.

John L Rice 5U “slew plugs”

video upload by John L Rice

"Sometimes I might want to add a little glide/slew/portamento to a sequence or keyboard part but don’t have a slew module handy or it’s already being used. With these I can just plug the CV source in and out of a multiple (or Y cable) along with the slew plug that best suits the tempo and effect I want.

These were inspired by a thread on the ModWiggler 5U forum. I simply soldered an electrolytic capacitor between the terminals of a modified 1/4” plug (I cut the ground/strain relief short) and then put some heat shrink on them and labeled with a Sharpie. I capacitor used values 10, 22, 47, and 100 µF."

first patch Synthetic Sound Labs Ian Fritz Hypster 5U Modular Synth

video upload by I like the Chaos.

"The Hypster is getting rate cv from a Dotcom q119 sequencer and is Frequency modulating an Ian Fritz Teezer VCO. It is also providing cv to a Steiner Filter also from SSL. The Filter is also getting cv from the sequencer. From the Filter the audio goes to a Musonics VCA turned up with no cv. I had that patcher for future plans that aren't in this video. Then to a Manecolabs Clusterverb for reverb and delay.
Very simple patch but sounds great.
This is the 5u version. NLC Nonlinear Circuits did a Eurorack version."

LM714 - Modular Mashup

video upload by Lower West Side Studio

"Inspired by Sigue Sigue Sputnik's Love Missile F1-11 I came up with this mashup of sounds that sort of sounded ok together.

It started as a test for the Fonitronik Sequential Switch but as with most patches it expanded from there. The Sequential Switch is used to change track of the quad-sequencer during the Ode to Joy segment

Centerpiece by Scott Ampleford | Analog Synthesizer Performance

video upload by synthesizersdotcom

"What happens when you get Scott Ampleford in a room with a __, a recorder, and a guitar? An incredible piece of music, that's for sure! Whether you're looking for a calm instrumental to play in the background, needing some inspiration for your next composition, or just want a cool performance to watch, Scott and his synth are here for you.

Why patch with a modular analog synthesizer?
-Custom Sound Playground 🎛️: Design your sonic playground by connecting different modules. Want a thunderous bass or a shimmering pad? You build it, you shape it!

-Infinite Sound Potential 🌌: No presets holding you back. Every patch can be a brand-new sonic creation, limited only by your imagination (and maybe your patch cables).

-Hands-On Heaven 🎚️: Twisting knobs, patching cables, and tweaking parameters gives you a tactile, hands-on experience. It’s like being a mad scientist of sound!

-Happy Accidents 🎶: Modular synths are famous for unexpected, happy accidents. Discover weird, wonderful sounds that you’d never find on a regular synth.

-Build as You Go 🛠️: Start small and expand your synth empire over time. With a modular setup, there’s always room to add that next must-have module.

-Analog Warmth 🔥: Embrace the rich, warm sound that only analog circuitry can deliver. Digital can try, but analog is the OG in creating lush, full tones."
