Intellijel Swells | Four synth explorations

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Four mostly ambient pieces with Intellijel's new reverb and other hardware.

Fair warning: Intellijel sent me the Swells and Jellymix. Take that as you will. Considering how much other Intellijel stuff I use, and considering how much I'm a sucker for reverb, I was excited to try this one out.

00:00 - Omnichord ambient
03:49 - SubH Replay ambient
08:22 - S-4 OVUM ambient
12:35 - Hexdrums jam

Undoubtedly, we're living in a golden era of reverb hardware. I've got more reverb than one human needs, but I love it so much. One thing that means, though, is that I'm looking for reverb that does new things, that isn't just good but different and textural and interesting in and of itself.

In that respect I've been very happy with Swells, and am planning to use it a bunch after this. Swells can play it straight, but the combination of self-generated modulation and great colouration options means Swells can draw attention, add unique character, and fill a role more than simply adding space. I've particularly liked pairing it with Jellymix, using Swells as a send and then using varying amounts of wet/dry across multiple instruments, creating a shared reverb environment that feels pretty glued. It's a great combo.

So do you need another reverb? Probably not. You don't need anything in hardware, honestly. But if you're looking for a hardware reverb that makes you think differently about time-based effects, and if you're looking for a reverb that sounds good in new ways, I think Swells is worth checking out.

Thanks for listening.

Easter Perfourmance MkII

video upload by Tim Shoebridge

"Happy Easter! Here in the UK we get a 4-day weekend, such a wonderful treat. For the very first time this year I've actually had enough spare time to sit in my studio for an hour, just relax, look around for a synth I haven't played in ages, and noodle on a keyboard for the fun of doing it. This little snippet of music was the outcome, noodling on a very special synth, the Vermona Perfourmer MkII. Effects are courtesy of two of my most favourite pedals, the Boss RE-202 and the Erica Synths Nightverb (well, the Nightverb is a desktop unit rather than a pedal but you get the gist!)"

Hexdrums cranked, compressed & gated (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Compressor hiss? Meh, the world's full of noise and hiss. Levels pushed, why not? Some limiting on the output - sure. We're just having fun here, not trying to educate anyone on noise levels or production techniques. And as usual this video has completely mutated from its original form. The intention was to show the new Nightverb gated reverb option and blather on about drum machines. Then I started playing with Hexdrums' compressor. So instead of my long diatribe on drum machine programming I chopped that all out and just kept the actual drums.

Compressor's aren't my thing. Yet with the Hexdrum compressor I had fun. Pushed past noon it will start giving an audible hissy noise floor but if you're cranking lots of other things that that just disappears :D If I was making an album track I'd probably try to get rid of it but for now every noise is welcome.

On the routing: Voice 1 (bass drum 1) and Voice 3 (snare) are on separate outs and are completely dry - although I was severely temped to do some processing on them. All the other voices go to the Hexdrums stereo out, then to the Nightverb on the gated reverb option; then to the Echolocator. With either effect unit turned to 100% wet it's up to the dry voices 1 & 3 to keep things together.

At times I turn up the release on Voice 2 (bass drum 2) and that's what upsets the compressor and holds it open so long that the gated reverb doesn't get a turn.

The main reason I like this setup is that you can get variations on a single drum pattern without having to program any new drum patterns :)

The main out from the DAW has some mild limiting to catch stray spikes but otherwise this is an unedited one-pass twiddlefest.

01:58 - Patch 2 / Wonky beat with FM drum triggering the Hi-Hats
03:57 - Patch 3 / Classic Untz Untz beat
06:01 - Patch 4 / Raw beat, with Feedback bass
07:55 - Patch 5 / Jam together with DIY Synth System"

KONSTRUKT-8 is an expressive live performance instrument and sound design tool – plus a hands-on deep dive into electronic circuit design. Each of its eight DIY modules comes with a detailed build guide and can be explored on a breadboard first, letting you trace every circuit design decision before assembling the final instrument.

KONSTRUKT-8 includes four fully analog drum voices:

• Kick Drum. A resonant bridged-T network produces deep, punchy kicks.

• Snare Drum. A burst of filtered transistor noise layered over a tuned resonator creates a crisp snap.

• Hi-Hat. Six dissonant square-wave oscillators are mixed, filtered, and overdriven to create metallic percussion.

• FM Drum. Two interacting oscillators form a versatile percussion voice capable of kicks, toms, bells, and cymbal-like sounds.

A four-channel drum sequencer lets you tap in rhythms that loop automatically. Under the hood, shift registers store the pattern as a circular sequence of binary data.

All voices feed into a four-channel mixer with per-channel FX sends and a master insert, allowing you to shape the entire beat with external effects or the built-in distortion and compressor.

Two effects modules complete the system: an analog bucket-brigade delay (BBD) with flanger and delay modes, plus a diode-based compressor with sidechain capability.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Both versions ship with:

• EDU DIY Kick Drum kit

• EDU DIY Snare Drum kit

• EDU DIY Hi-Hat kit

• EDU DIY FM Drum kit

• EDU DIY Drum Sequencer kit

• EDU DIY Output Mixer 2 kit

• EDU DIY BBD kit

• EDU DIY Compressor kit

• 8 downloadable build guides

The system version also includes:

• Eurorack enclosure with integrated power supply

• 15 braided patch cables (5× 20cm, 5× 30cm, 5× 60cm)

Xenodrive and DB-01 twins (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Why does the Xenodrive not want to let me go? I've had all sorts of good intentions for other content and other devices, stuff that I'm really impatient to show, yet here are we are with the Xenodrive again. I suspect it's down to two things: First that I've cycled through loads of dirt pedals and effects and rarely found one that has more than a single good sound. The Darkglass B3K for example has a brilliant effect on synths, but despite having four knobs and two buttons, it only has one sound. The Xeno has loads of flavors to explore. Second reason I am fixated on this device is that it's finally given me the 'punk synth' sound I've always wanted. Which is largely what we have in this video.

I originally had a big blabfest at the start of this video talking about the Xenodrive in detail but on sudden impulse I cut it all out. I think I was mesmerized by the Xeno and it was giving me instructions. I must exert my free will while I can. If my next video features the Xeno, send help.

Routing here is the MIDI out from the master DB-01 (left) to the rightside DB-01. The master DB-01 has an 8-step random-generated pattern, the leftside DB-01 is empty. Audio goes from each DB-01 to the Xeno left and right. As usual there is absolutely no other processing.

Hexdrums Deep Dive // All the tones!

video upload by Starsky Carr

"In this video I take a full deep dive into the Erica Synths Hexdrums – exploring every voice, tone, pattern function and performance feature to see just how powerful this drum machine really is.

From 909-style kicks and 808-inspired hats to dirty punchy snares, claps, rim shots, crashes and rides, we’ll go through all 10 drum voices in detail. I’ll show you how easy it is to build patterns, record live, use step programming, adjust exclusivity/fade between hats, and shape everything through the master distortion section for those gnarly, meaty, fat techno rhythms.

We’ll also look at:
✔️ Pattern selection & step sequencing
✔️ Live recording workflow
✔️ Multi-bar patterns (up to 4 bars per channel)
✔️ Individual outs on the rear panel
✔️ Master distortion section
✔️ Sample selection for cymbals
✔️ Performance tricks & groove ideas

If you’re into drum machines, analogue rhythm design, techno, electro, synthwave, or classic 808/909 workflows — this one’s for you.

This isn’t just a quick overview… it’s a proper hands-on demo so you can hear exactly what Hexdrums can do in real-world use."
