Testing the “final” arrangement of this little Eurorack Modular ;-)


video upload by John L Rice

"Vermona meloDICER being clocked and 'diced' (randomized) by an Erica Synths TRIGG while I play with the melody range. The voice is a Happy Nerding HM VCO pulse wave out into an Erica Synths MODulator module (EG and VCA). The VCO’s pulse width is being modulated by a 2hp Seq sequencer module that is also stepped by the TRIGG module. All in a 4ms Company Pod48x case and reverb from the external Yamaha MG 10 XU mixer.

3 Filter Techniques I Keep Coming Back To (ft. WMD C4RBN)


video upload by Dots

"Unlock more from your filter than you thought possible.

In this video, I walk through three creative ways I use filters in my modular system — starting with a familiar technique and quickly moving into more experimental territory. Along the way, we explore ways to shape movement, add character, and completely transform a simple patch.

The final patch is where things get really interesting… and it might just change how you think about filters altogether.

Whether you're new to modular or deep into patching, these ideas will work on pretty much any filter in your rack.

I also show some of the additional features of the WMD C4RBN along the way... including some features which are great for live performance!

00:41 Technique 1 - Envelope & key tracking
01:53 Key tracking
02:30 Negative modulation
02:58 Attenuating key tracker
03:26 Technique 2 - Parallel filtering
05:10 Technique 3 - Sample & hold
06:21 Saturation
07:03 Wavefolder
07:28 Performance buttons
08:52 Ping

SISTERS - Ambient session #29 // Mannequins Three Sisters, Arbhar, Panharmonium, Subharmonicon


video upload by David Falcon

"First sounds with the Mannequins Sisters, such an interesting little module. In its core is a triple filter (Hi, Low and Band Pass) but it works great as an spectral mixer. I am slowly modulating the frequency cutoff so that the different sounds come and go progressively. Very little resonance added, it can be very resonant!

// Patch Notes //
Voice 1- Arbhar recording of my voice and ambient sounds with the internal microphone. High input of Sisters.
Voice 2 - Maths Tom sound into Rings. Center of Sisters.
Voice 3 - Panharmonium with a Random sequence from Pams into the Low input of Sisters.
These 3 voices go into the Xaoc Praga mixer, with Mimeophon and FX Aid in the sends. I am modulating the volume and panof
Voice 2 from Øchd and Pams, and the panning of Arbhar from Pams too. The mix goes through Qubit Mojave for the occasional reversed granular bleep.
Voice 4 - Subharmonicon through Blooper as a delay and Mercury 7 as Reverb.
Voice 5 - Low kick from DFAM


Recorded in a single stereo mix and mastered in Ableton."

Turning a Chord into Peak Time Techno (Monumatic + Ghost + Desmodus)


video upload by Neo Golightly

"This track emerged while I was just patching up my new setup and testing the CV & MIDI connections. It’s always amazing how little effort it takes to create such a massive sound. It also turned out to be the perfect session to practice my transitions.

Transitions were done via a combination of the Oxi Meta and the DJ filter in the Ohmforce Bohm.

Gear used:
‪@ohmforceofficial‬ Bohm
‪@oxiinstruments‬ Meta & One MK2
‪@NoiseEngineering‬ Incus Iteritas Alia (Mode switched), Desmodus Versio, Viol Ruina
‪@knobula_synths‬ Monumatic
‪@WMDevices‬ Clutch
‪@happynerding4369‬ FX Aid XL

MATRIX VCF & Voltage Control - Creating presets with fixed voltages


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Here I'm using Pressure Points to select different sounds/settings on the Matrix VCF - this filter has full CV control of all functions, including the selection of all 16 different filter types (Mode). Because the Matrix has such a huge range of filter sounds, it is very useful to be able to recall them instantly using a fixed-voltage controller or sequencer.
I'm also feeding it 2 VCOs and noise initially, but later replacing the raw sawtooth waves with the same saw processed by the WAVE SWARM - this is a sawtooth animator, creating 12 additional faux saws from 1 or 2 incoming oscillators to create a fat 'super saw' effect.

Video & Performance by @DreamsOfWires

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack modular range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.

Roland TR-1000 and eurorack | Hypnotic dance


video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Buy the album here: https://jayhosking.bandcamp.com

This is a set of live, improvised dance music performed on a eurorack skiff with the Roland TR-1000. The TR-1000 provides most of the drums, and the eurorack does everything else.

00:00 - Archaios
07:33 - Elan vital
13:42 - Magnetic sleep
21:58 - Entelechy

I'm really happy with how this set turned out, and will probably try the setup again. I'd also love to give it a shot in a live environment, with actual humans dancing.

Eurorack modules:
Noise Engineering Zularic Repetitor - Gates (rhythms)
Noise Engineering Gamut Repetitor - Pitch (notes)
ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's New Workout - Synchronization, modulation, and LFOs
Forge.TME Vhikk X - Drone
Frequency Central Product - Bass
Mutable Instruments Rings - String synth
Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio - Reverb for Rings
Eowave Domino - Subtractive synth

SUPER saws for the win / with Happy Nerding SUPER SAWTOR (and how to live without it)


video upload by BRiES

"In this video I demonstrate a technique described in the Compare 2 Practical User guide (link below) for how to create animated supersaws. I also demonstrate the amazing Happy Nerding SUPER SAWTOR which makes it so much easier to create that thick sound. Also also: how amazing does that HN MMM VCF sound!?

Thanks to Happy Nerding for supporting this video."

Fizmosphere by BENGE


video upload by Memetune Studio

"Here's a little end-of-year ambient composition made on the Ensoniq Fizmo. I love this synth - it's my new favourite ambient pad machine

I am recording two stereo loops into the Concrete Machine and adding extra reverb from the FX Aid Spin Chip device

I made the visuals myself - I love doing this sort of thing as you can probably tell

Happy New Year everyone!"

The Concrete Box


video upload by Memetune Studio

"Here is a video about the small Eurorack recording / FX box I have recently put together, which I call 'The Concrete Box'

In the video I describe the various modules and how I work with them as a way of recording and manipulating other instruments (in this case a vintage Buchla 100), to create live performances and evolving soundscapes"

Just a Minute (JAM) - Live Ambient #19 (Relaxing Modular Sounds + Elektron Syntakt + OXI One + S-4)


video upload by ST Modular (Stefan)

"🟢 I found something cool on my mobile (...well, actually I only had this video in vertical format, so I needed some kind of workaround, which is that mobile frame 😉🎶).

✨ This is a live ambient modular synth performance! This set explores slowly evolving pads, hypnotic drones, and delicate rhythmic textures, performed live with Eurorack modulars, Elektron Syntakt, Torso S-4 and creative FX.

🎧Also perfect for deep listening, study, or meditation. Immerse yourself in evolving soundscapes and analog warmth.

💡 Gear used & roles in the setup:

♫ Elektron Syntakt → kick, percussion, live melody playing
♫ ST Modular Honeyeater + Disting MK4 (wavetable algo) → Pad 1 → through Mimeophone + FX Aid
♫ Behringer Victor OSC → Pad 2 → through Pico DSP + Intellijel Sealegs
♫ Bastl GrandPa → alternating samples → through EQ8, Pico DSP + Intellijel Sealegs
♫ OXI One → main live sequencing
♫ Torso S-4 → one-shots, drones, percussive tweaks

Roland Ocean


video upload by Memetune Studio

"This is a live performance on the Roland SH5 using my newly formed "concrete" box. The box has 4 loopers, 3 delays, a granular pitch shifter, a filter, 2 compressors, a stereo FX AID unit based on the Spin FV1 chip and an O'Tool monitor

The patch uses 2 loopers, 1 delay and the FX AID

It builds up a bit like the swell of the ocean on a rainy day"
