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
@afterlateraudio Bartender V2

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."

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"

Ambient ghosts - Vhikk X, 4ms Ensemble and SMR, Elta TSC 12
video upload by Jay Hosking
"Two ambient songs performed live with a eurorack case.
Buy these songs on an album here: https://jayhosking.bandcamp.com/album...
This is why eurorack exists to me. I would never come to these sorts of results through any other workflow or gear, would never stumble on these harmonies or gently cascading notes, would never feel out the song progression on a computer or even with a more traditional hardware setup. There are many things eurorack doesn't do as well, but moments like this make me realize why it's so special.
Please go give the album a spin.
Three voices: Forge TME Vhikk X, 4ms Ensemble, 4ms SMR
Control surface: Elta TSC 12
Effects: Intellijel FX 1U, Strymon Magneto, Noise Engineering Versio, Happy Nerding FX Aid XL
Modulation: ALM Pamela's Pro Workout

6/14/25 ElectroComp EML 200 + SSL 1520 Segwencer IV + Happy Nerding FM AID
video upload by Cfpp0
"6/14/25 ElectroComp EML 200 + SSL 1520 Segwencer IV + Happy Nerding FM AID
This was a test of the 5U version of Happy Nerding FX AID with the ElectroComp EML 200. It’s processing the master sine wave from the upper EML 200, and modulated by the master triangle from the lower EML 200. The upper EMl 200 ring mod and switch are also being used, with the switch getting pulsed by the lower EML 200 master square wave. The Synthetic Sound Labs 1520 Segwencer IV is also being used, modulated by the lower EML 200 master triangle. The spring reverb is from the EML 200."

5/11/25 Slope generator and sub oscillator sequence (modules listed in description)
video upload by Cfpp0
"5/11/25 (Slope generator and sub oscillator sequence) SSL 1240 + LWSS CGS01 + Synthesizers.com Q123 & Q125 + muSonics Attenuators & Multiples & Wave Folder + Happy Nerding FM AID + Zerosum Inertia The Scorpion Tail + Blue Lantern Mixer + Alesis MIDIVERB II + ElectroComp EML 200
I spliced two takes one after the other. In the first, the 440 Hz tone from the Synthesizers.com Q123 Standards module, gated by the Blue Lantern mixer, is the constant bell-ish sound panned left. Throughout the whole video I am selecting divide or multiply on the Lower West Side Studios CGS01 Sub Oscillator, which varies the sequence. The Synthetic Sound Labs Dual Slope Generator bipolar output to CGS01 input A. CGS01 output A to .com Q123 to muSonics Multiples to Free State FX Macro Digital Oscillator V/OCT input and to Happy Nerding FM Aid CV input and to .com Q125, with Q125 output to muSonics Wave Folder CV input. Macro output to FM Aid carrier input. Macro sine out to muSonics Wave Folder to Multiples to Zerosum Inertia Scorpion Tail audio in and to Blue Lantern Mixer input 4, with spectral wave folder switched on, triggered by SSL 1240 fall gate out. CGS01 output B to CV in on Scorpion Tail. FM Aid saw out to Mackie Onyx 1640, panned right, with reverb from Alesis MIDIVERB II. Blue Lantern mixer VCA output to Mackie, panned left, with MIDIVERB II. Zerosum Inertia output panned center, dry. The drone is four VCOs on two EML 200, with internal spring reverb, modulated by their master sine waves."

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"
