Extraordinary Patches with Procyon Stereo Morphing Filter by Glasgow Synth Guild and Eon


video upload by foxendeavor

"The Procyon analog filter is an amazing MS-20 style stereo morphing filter that has a few extra tricks up its sleeve.

Exploring this characterful filter from Glasgow Synth Guild and Eon Audio Design took me to so many special places the more and more I explored patching and modulating it. I only used basic LFOs and envelopes with most of these patches. What you see and hear are the result of just playing around and letting the module take me to places.

There are several patching ideas and performances within the video. Feel free to check them all out and I really love the end performance but... in reality, I just love all the sounds I got from this wonderful filter.

For a more in depth overview and more patch ideas for this incredible Eurorack filter check out DivKid's impressive video:" [posted here]

Stereo Morphing MS-20 Style Filter & Saturating VCA // Procyon from Eon


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the mega characterful stereo morphing filter based on the already characterful Korg MS-20 filter circuit with added stereo VCA and oodles of extra saturation on tap … meet PROCYON from EON AUDIO DESIGN.

This is the first module from Eon but NoƩ behind the company is no stranger to module design and Eurorack having worked at Instruo for the past few years (he still works there too). In full support of Instruo and with help from the Glasgow Synth Guild who build these modules Eon have released Procyon which is out now. Procyon is a stereo input and stereo output morphing VCF and VCA combo with flexible routing and modulation options, plenty of saturation and ways to manipulate your audio. Check out the timing index below to skip around with plenty of patch examples and things you can try for yourself.

Procyon is available here with further info and the manual etc // https://www.glasgowsynthguild.com/sho..."

Oct Tone | by the Glasgow Synth Guild


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I had a short moment of confusion when the Oct Tone was presented to a wide audience. I knew the Octone from Qu-Bit, but nobody shared a bit of how this came to be, except that it was a Jason Lim design. It's obvious the new Oct Tone also comes from the people behind Instruo and I learned that the Glasgow Synth Guild is an entity that manufactures modules/hardware. So Instruo is now a GSG client which makes a lot of sense in the volatile economy of the roaring 20's. I think it's excellent risk management, but I am also aware I am speculating. Anyway, the Oct Tone is a Jason Lim redesign of the module he designed when he still was a Qu-Bit co-founder. So it all makes perfect sense if you unravel the whole story. Still, I took the creative liberty to call it a 'shadow module'. It kind of sounds cool, no drama intended.

It also explains why it's not a regular Instruo module, considering it does not fit Instruo's company vision of making state-of-the-art originals. It's also rumoured Jason prefers all kind of CV running through quantizers while avoiding the use of sequencers. So my final speculation is that the Oct Tone may be the only sequencer you'd get with an Instruo look and feel. I love it.

The Oct Tone is exclusively available from the UK, so beware of shipping and Brexit tax. But if you're an Instruo fan, it's a must have module."

Glasgow Synth Guild Oct Tone Sequencer Review


video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Oct Tone is 8 steps of Eurorack cyclic sequencing. Who would ever need more? It's a delightfully musical module with a great front end, some snazzy features and can cook up a storm in more ways than you'd think.

GSG did not send me the module; I bought it myself, and they have no idea I'm making a video review.

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Glasgow Synth Guild - Oct Tone Sequencer Procyon Filter


video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Jimmy from the Glasgow Synth Guild provided an insightful look into the inner workings of the company and their latest releases. The Synth Guild, an offshoot of Instruo, focuses on producing smaller batches and limited runs of modules that may not fit within Instruo's portfolio. They also collaborate with other companies like Worng Electronics to create unique modules. One of their flagship products, the Oct Tone sequencer, offers 16 sets of sequencers with various play modes, allowing for intricate and dynamic patterns.

Jimmy introduced the upcoming release of the Procyon, a dual MS-20 style filter, showcasing its versatile capabilities such as morphing between low-pass and variable band-pass modes. Set to be available in July exclusively through their website, the Procyon promises to be a sought-after addition to any modular setup. For more information on the Oct Tone sequencer and Procyon filter, visit the Glasgow Synth Guild website for updates and pricing details."

What is the Oct Tone & who are the Glasgow Synth Guild?


video upload by DivKid

"Here's something a little different ... a 'remaster' of an older design and a new synthesiser guild that act as a crack team super group of modular builders who are handling this exclusively.

The Oct Tone is a remaster of an early design by Jason Lim (Instruo) that has been brought back to life by the Glasgow Synthesiser Guild. In this video I'll demo the Oct Tone, in my usual style with musical approaches to the features and uses. But we'll also have a little story time looking and who and what the guild are and why they exist.

You can purchase an Oct Tone exclusively from the Guild here // https://www.glasgowsynthguild.com"
