Sons of the Arpy: Roland SH-2, System-500, Deckard's Voice, FX Aid Pro, Mimeophon, G-Storm Electro

video upload by thesrabbit

"The SH-2 has some kind of power over me. I can't get away from it. Not that I want to!

This is the first time I've tried adding a 3rd oscillator to the SH-2 by running a single Roland System-500 512 square with PWM into the external audio input. I thought this would naturally lead to making a massive 3 detuned osc + sub monosynth sound, but instead I gravitated to something much more melodic, by setting up each oscillator at a different pitch, making chords with nice intervals. With the ability to set the bender to VCO 2 only, I can change the interval of one of the notes easily, either up or down, without disrupting the vibe at all. The T-Rex Replicator tape delay adds some echo and gritty texture, and then the Make Noise Mimeophon delay fans it out into the stereo field. The sequence of notes is a simple 4 note arp that I transpose with the NiftyKeyz. The mod wheel is assigned to tape delay time, and the arp clock output is fed into a 2HP clock divider, which drives the kick, though half a beat behind because that's how clock dividers work I guess. The kick is a simple decay envelope routed to the G-Storm Electro SH-2 VCF with a moderate amount of resonance and saturation. There's an additional percussive element with some noise going to the G-Storm SH-5 VCF, through the LP first and then the dedicated bandpass which is being swept by an LFO.

The Blade Runner-ish lead sound is of course the Black Corporation Deckard's Voice, paired with the Rachael ring modulator, though it's not being used as a ring-mod, but rather a second sawtooth oscillator. 2 saws are essential to the BR sound, and therefore the Rachael is a required addition to Deckard's Voice. The output runs into the Happy Nerding FX Aid Pro set to the Black Cloud reverb algorithm, which completes the sound.

There's just a tiny dash of master reverb in post that serves as the final glue to hold it all together."

Happy Nerding MMM VCF 6HP version

video upload by Happy Nerding

"MMM VCF 6HP version is now available for order"

http://www.happynerding.com/

"MMM VCF (M**g Multi Mode Voltage Controlled Filter) is a dual VCF having common controls for both parts. Thus it can be used as a stereo filter, or patched with different combinations of the available inputs/outputs. And all this functionality is packed in the compact 8 hp wide module.
MMM VCF has the famous transistor ladder core introduced by Bob Moog, but also features the added Band Pass and High Pass modes, not available in the original design. Those extra modes are greatly widen the possible spectral modification of the input sound.
The module was carefully designed to have vanishingly small noise and bleed.

SPECIFICATIONS

FREQ: 20 Hz … 22 kHz – manual frequency range

RES: 35 Hz … 22 kHz – self oscillation range

FM: 0 … 5 V will modulate the whole hearing range at max settings

LP: 24 db/oct Low Pass output

BP: 12 db/oct Band Pass output

HP: 12 db/oct High Pass output

outputs impedance: 500 Ohm
module depth: 4 cm
width: 6 HP
power consumption: +42 mA / -40 mA at +/-12 Vdc"

New Tuner + ADSR for FX AID Pro

video upload by Happy Nerding

http://www.happynerding.com/

"New firmware features for the FX AID Pro:

- internal modulations are now have indicator lines on the main screen
- "tuner" menu added
- ADSR envelope modulator added to the existing three LFOs. It can be either manually triggered via "push" button or externally triggered via SRR input - SRR IN ROUTING should be set to ENV. Attack, Decay, Sustey, Release can be separately adjusted in wide amounts, both positive and negative modulation depth is possible, three types of envelope stages shapes can be selected.

For the update to take effect - reload your FX AID Pro with the desired effects list generated in the online editor."

u-he CVilization Mode I: Musical demo (no talking)

video upload by u-he

"Here's a jam featuring our CVilization module in Mode I (4 x 4 Matrix Mixer). We're exploring the musical possibilities of the mysterious Matrix Rotation [posted here]. 4 different oscillator signals are routed through CVilization's matrix and distributed to various other modules. CVilization now rotates its inputs and outputs, creating ever-changing mixes of these oscillator signals. CVilization's sidekick Wiretap also joins the game with two of its outputs hooked up, creating some funky alternating envelopes.

Patch Tips & Tricks for Improving Basic Waveforms!

video upload by The Unperson

"In today's video I explore some synthesis techniques and patching tricks for getting the most out of basic waveforms. I had a big list of ideas for this video but I'm not great at being concise so here is half of them, and the other half will be released in a part 2 video out next week! Hope you enjoy.

Cheers!

Ambient jam with the Sequential Prophet Rev2, Eurorack, Sloër, and Soma Cosmos

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jayhosking
A live, semi-improvised synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I went to the store to try out the Sequential Prophet Rev2 for fun, but they didn't have it set up on the floor.

"You should just take it home," the rep said. "Bring it back within 30 days if you don't want it."

So here we are, with the Prophet Rev2 at home. I love having so many voices that so easily can be panned into a binaural sound. The keybed and layout are fantastic and I just like playing it. The sound is great except when it isn't; something about the full-open filter or resonance is displeasing in a mix, though I often don't mind it on its own. Here, I made a binaural patch, with the same synth sound hard panned to left and right sides, but slight variation in the DCOs and "slop" (terrible word) leading to a very rich stereo feeling. One of those rare beautiful things you can do with only some polysynths (and software, of course).

In short, the Prophet Rev2 is a wonderful synth to explore with something of a frumpy sound, for better and for worse.

I was noodling on some chords and wanted accompaniment, so I started with the Cosmos (for some asymmetrical looping), and then took out my melodic eurorack skiff. It's been a while since I had it on the table, so it was nice just to hear these sounds again. Eurorack just leads me to places and sounds I might not otherwise find.

Ultimately, this jam came together in a day, and I'm always a little worried about those ones, because you might not like them as much the next day. So far, though, I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks for listening.

Sequential Prophet Rev2 - pads
Walrus Sloër - reverb for Rev2

Eurorack:
Qu-Bit Chord V2 through Endorphines Squawk Dirty to Me - organ sort of sound
