VHIKK X by Forge TME - Why modular will always be real and digital music will not.

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Modular synths are more than tools, they're reality itself.
This video explores why digital music can never truly be real, and why analog gear remains the only way to feel sound at the source.

The world is in transit, like it or not.
Music evolved from the stage into the box, from real media to streams, and now from streams into learning models, weights, and rewards.
We can endlessly debate whether AI is OK or not, but we can’t put the demons back into their bottles.

It’s a non-religious blessing to patch a real machine with real voltage.
Every sound I make is Karma: cause and effect, wrapped in a false sense of choice and control.
I love it. It’s a sanctuary.

And the VHIKK?
Everything I say about it will only give you GAS.
It’s one of the finest modules Eurorack has to offer, and currently my #1 module.
So maybe don’t watch this video if you’re on a tight budget.
Or… maybe watch it very carefully.
Because you might just build the ultimate tiny case with it.

All you need is VHIKK and Pam Pro.
Don’t forget power, but you won’t even need an output module.
VHIKK X can run on USB power.
Build a tiny wooden case. Maybe I will too.

We modular people are still a niche.
A tiny community moving upstream and uphill — while the world flows downward.
And it’s an honor to be part of it."

Introducing MUM M8 DSP - Low Pass Filter Plug-in

video upload by ALM TV

"‘MUM M8 DSP’ is a low pass filter plug-in emulating the filter used in the classic Akai S950 12 bit sampler with the addition of resonance, saturation and bit depth reduction. This in turn emulates our MUM M8 eurorack module which uses a similar filter design.

In this video we take a quick look at the MUM M8 DSP processing multiple sources in Ableton Live.

The low pass filter gives the recognisable super smooth vacuum like tone sucking sound which works magic on complex sources. The addition of clipped overdrive and intentionally aggressive self oscillating resonance compliment the smooth filter core by juxtaposing it into more wasp like territory with acidic squeals and a more gritty sound.

Unique to the plug-in are a clock bleed switch, introducing audible artifacts into the filter path emulating some of the quirks of the original hardware, and a Bit Depth control for downsampling the input for a more character-rich output.

‘MUM M8 DSP’ offers an authentic digital emulation of the original hardware, recreating its distinct sonic character for use for use in your DAW.

Introducing Pip Filter & Pip LFO by ALM

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'Pip Filter' is a compact 4HP voltage controlled 2 pole low-pass filter with resonance and built in VCA. Here we take a look at all the features of the module.

The filter cutoff is controlled via both knob control and dual CV inputs with a built in attenuverter. Resonance is manually controlled and will reach into self oscillation with rough V/Oct tracking. A trigger input allows the filter to be pinged for percussive plucked type sounds. Finally, a built in VCA (normalled open) allows for additional independent amplitude control of the filtered signal.

The “Pip Filter’ provides a classic lowpass filter sound in a small form factor with many useful features for sound sculpting."

Introducing Pip LFO

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'Pip LFO' is a compact 4HP all analogue low frequency oscillator with a wide frequency range, voltage control, numerous outputs, reset input and a VCO mode. Here we take a look at all the features of the module.

The frequency of the Pip LFO is set via a manual control and voltage control input. The module features a unipolar square wave output along with both bipolar and uni-polar triangle, saw and sine waveform outputs. When VCO mode is activated, the frequency jumps to audio range and will track V/Oct for approx 5 octaves. A reset input allows the LFO waveform cycle to be reset and produces hard sync functionality in VCO mode.

The Pip LFO’s compact design makes it easy to add a modulation source and an analogue voice into any system."

"Playing around with the small case, today. Just wanted to showcase what could be done with an Arp of Darkness and a Seventh Summoner, side by side. Patch notes:

Pam’s Pro clocking everything. Seventh Summoner sequencing and real-time transposing a Braids (pluck program) running through Data Bender, and a MultiVersio on the LoFi program. A couple of Disting MK4’s are running the bass drone on one with an LFO on the other that is modulating a Pittsburgh Modular filter. That’s being sequenced by an Ornament & Crime running the Phaserville Suite. The Arp Of Darkness is arpeggiator a Dust Of Time (swarm program) and that’s running through a Busy Circuits MFX on the 2051 Bit Corrupter program and a stereo delay on another Disting MK4. Finally, there’s an Erica Synths Pico drum running some rhythmic duties and an EP-133 with the main drums off to the side."

ALM MUM M8 Now Available in VCV Rack

video upload by ALM TV

"The VCV MUM M8 brings our unique MUM M8 low pass filter into VCV. The MUM M8 is based on the 'switched capacitor' filter design used in the classic Akai S950 12 bit sampler with the addition of resonance, voltage control, clipped saturation and a dedicated VCA. Here we take a look at some patches showcasing the unique sound and features of the module.

The VCV version provides a realistic sounding emulation of the hardware module’s features with the addition of an optional clock noise setting producing increased bleed like a poorly calibrated hardware MUM M8.

The original motivation for the MUM M8 came from discussing filters in classic samplers with the artist Jack Adams – aka Mumdance. Jack suggested investigating the S950’s filter well known for its use in classic early jungle and hardcore. From that point onward Jack provided inspiration, help and feedback in the development of the filter. Big up Mumdance."

MCO AEIOU - Voice Synthesis

video upload by ALM TV

"The MCO (mk II) is a highly versatile digital VCO and voice module inspired by 90s/00s digital synths shrunk into just 6HP. It offers a broad collection of unique, high-quality synth voices, each with extensive, customizable parameters. Here we explore a few patches using the new AEIOU voice synthesizer engine. To add the new synthesis engine to your MCO download the latest firmware update! (linked below)

The AEIOU voice is a vocal synthesis engine that uses band pass filters to mimic the formants of a human voice for a range of phonemes. Morphing between the two phoneme parameters using LFOs, the built in envelope or external modulation can produce any sound from robotic whisper textures, to background chatter, to simple pronounced words.

The MCO is designed to be familiar, quick and easy to use with a high resolution colour display and a rich visual user interface. Each voice includes extensive customizable parameters that can be directly controlled or modulated through assignable internal and external sources. Certain per-voice parameters support audio-rate modulation, including FM, sync, and DSP. Each voice also supports up to four-voice chords, external-triggered envelopes, multiple LFOs, and dual audio outputs for comprehensive desktop like synth functionality.

Check out our other videos for all of the different MCO voice programs here:"

"5/20/25 Metasonix RK10 & RK7 & RK2 & RK6 + MFB AHDSR + Doepfer 183-2 + ALM Pamela’s anew Workout + DeltaLab Effectron II + Alesis MIDIVERB II

The Metasonix RK10 sequencer CV output is modulating the Metasonix RK7 Thyratron VCO and the Metasonix RK6 filter, with no audio input, but with resonance at the threshold of self-oscillation. Both the RK7 and the RK6 run through the Animodule MixMan into the Metasonix RK2 VCA (horsecock). One of the RK2 outputs runs through a 2hp Trim into the DeltaLab Effectron II into the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, panned a bit left, with reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. The other RK2 output runs through a 2hp Trim to the Mackie, with the same reverb. The RK10 is clocked by ALM Pamela’s New Workout, boosted by the Doepfer 183-2. Pamela’s is also driving the MFB dual AHDSR, which is controlling the RK2."

ALM mmMidi - Simple Setup & Configuration & Clock Syncing Pamela's PRO Workout

mmMidi - Simple Setup & Configuration

video upload by ALM TV

"The mmMidi is a simple & compact MIDI interface for your Eurorack synthesiser. It translates two independent channels of MIDI note, velocity and gate information to corresponding control voltage signals via either a classic MIDI DIN type connection or as a driverless USB MIDI device.

Here we take a look at how to configure the mmMidi's 3 channels for use with a hardware sequencer. This configuration works the same for USB MIDI as well as the original (USB-less) mmMidi.

The mmMidi also converts MIDI Clock to analog x24 fixed clock and run outputs (i.e DIN Sync). The optional mmT expander provides a third MIDI channel of 8 key mapped gate outputs.

Requiring minimal configuration and a pain free set up, the mmMidi makes it easy to sync Pam’s clock to your DAW, control multiple synth voices, and trigger drum or sample modules with the optional mmT expander. The new USB-C connection makes it easy to drive your modular not just from your computer but also via your tablet, phone or any USB MIDI Host."

SEED - Ambient Modular #3 // Arbhar, Analog Four mkii

video upload by David Falcon

"Third piece with Instruo Arbhar. In this case I have created with Kontakt six chord samples with Olafur Arnalds' Chamber Evolutions, which have a lot of movement simply by sustaining a chord. It is two tracks overlapping, one with the Evos and one with the waves.
The idea was to make several parts going from one chord to another, or with a slow scan recreate the chord sequence, but finally by exploring only one of the samples I created this. It was not necessary to use more. The possibilities of this module are incredible. In this audio, Pamela's New Workout is very important. It is sending a pentatonic sequence to the 1v/oct input of the Arbhar and is what creates the melody.

There is a fairly subtle lead with the Analog Four mkii that contrasts quite well with the orchestral samples in my opinion.
I have called this piece Seed because these days the germ of an album idea has emerged... Let's see where it takes me. Thanks you for passing by!

edit: In the video I mention that the reverb is the internal from Arbhar but that is not the case. The Arbhar goes through the Analog Four external inputs and the reverb is added there."
