Jeanie Store - Chinese Mainland’s premier synth store now open in Dalian!


video upload by Jeanie

"Hi there!

Very excited to share Jeanie Store with you! It’s an extension of my own modular journey, which began with a simple curiosity that quickly turned into an endless source of discovery, exploration, and pure fun.

I wanted to create a place where anyone searching for a unique voice could have that same moment of inspiration I once had. Here, we can share knowledge, play music and connect over the incredible world of sounds.

I firmly believe that all frequencies born of love will eventually resonate!"

Check out additional videos by Jeanie here.

Exploring a Full Buchla System | Tiptop Audio Modular Improvisation


video upload by VoxModula Archives

"An 11-minute improvised modular performance using a full Tiptop Audio Buchla system.

This session explores evolving textures, modulation paths, and dynamic interactions across the entire system. The patch is built for flow and transformation rather than fixed structure, allowing the sound to develop organically over time.

πŸŽ›️ System used
• Tiptop Audio Buchla modular system (full setup)
• Oscillators, envelopes, LPGs, random & sequencing modules

🎧 What’s inside
• Long-form modular improvisation
• Organic modulation and evolving textures
• Dynamic use of the Buchla signal path
• Recorded live in one take"

Buchla Tiptop Audio 258t + 259t FM Patch | Percussive / Wooden Textures


video upload by VoxModula Archives

"A non-spoken modular patch performance focused on FM percussive and wooden-like textures, created using the Buchla TipTop Audio 258t and 259t oscillators.

In this session, frequency modulation is used to shape short, transient-rich sounds that resemble struck wood and organic percussive elements.
The patch is fully improvised and recorded live, no post-processing.

πŸŽ›️ Modules used
• 258t Oscillator
• 259t Oscillator
• 292t Quad Lowpass Gate
• 245t Sequential Voltage Source
• 266t Source of Uncertainty
• Buchla / Tiptop modular system

🎧 What’s explored
• FM techniques for percussive sound design
• Wooden / organic timbres
• Transient shaping and dynamics
• Live modular performance"

NEW Project Development Update: 700 Complex Function Generator Demo – Quick Overview


video upload by Gm Xe

Also see: 700_funtion_M4L with 700 voice system

"700 – Complex Function Processor (Demo Version)

This video shows a demo of the 700 Complex Function Processor, currently in active development.

Features include:

4 independent channels, each running its own app

4 independent pulse managers (one per channel)

2 independent random and expressive modulation channels

4 configurable pulse outputs

2 editable noise outputs

Most operations are performed directly via analog knobs and buttons, without deep menus.

⚠️ This video demonstrates a test / prototype version.
The core DSP algorithms and hardware functionality have been successfully tested.
A more complete and refined version of the product will be updated in the near future.

Thanks for watching.

Tech Talk: Vera Grace - How Modular Gear Shapes Her Hypnotic Techno Sound (Electronic Beats TV)


video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats TV

"For this Electronic Beats Tech Talk, we visited Dutch DJ and producer Vera Grace at her home in Amsterdam. With a background from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, she has developed a distinct techno identity rooted in experimental sound design, modular exploration, and hypnotic rhythms that bend your sense of time. Her dive into modular synthesis reshaped her creative process, leading to a fully live analog setup she now brings to the stage. Shifting fluidly between broken beats, ambient explorations, psychedelic textures, and driving 4/4 energy, Vera continues to push her sound forward while staying connected to techno’s foundations."

Further adventures in DIY Buchla 100 with La 67 Counterparts


video upload by Tom Churchill

"A couple of years ago, I made a video about the La 67 Mort’s Barge, which is a replica of a set of five Buchla 100 series modules from the 1960s. Now I’ve expanded it with five more DIY modules that La 67 recently made available again: the 144 dual square wave generator, the 111 dual ring modulator, the 106 six-channel mixer, the 156 control voltage processor, and the 191 sharp cutoff filter. In this video, I do a quick tour of the new modules, then I run through a few patches to let you hear how they sound in context.

Note: this video is not sponsored; La 67 has no involvement."

The Galaxy Electric
"DIAL IT IN" Official Music Video
Filmed and Directed by Jen Fodor
Produced by Jen Fodor and Georgia Hurd
Executive Produced by Daniel Naruta
Edited by Michelle Pan
Shot on B&W Super 8 in Los Angeles, CA at the Vintage Synthesizer Museum
Additional Footage using the DJI Osmo

The composition process involved us improvising with loopers using mainly Buchla Modular Synthesizer, RD-9, TD-3 for Acid House vibes, Roland SP404 MKII, and 2 Space Echoes on the vocals. The looping performance was ultimately recorded to 1/4" Reel to Reel Tape. We like to call it Cosmic Tape Music, but this one is in the vein of Classic House Music from the 80s."
