Comp/Sat experimentation with Dual Processor V2 - Low-gain Electronics | 4U Modular Serge
video upload by LowgainElectronics
"Running two stage gates (stacked) from gate sequencer into channel 1, squarewave into bandwidth filter into channel 3. Output is fed bad into channel 2 with Q filter in series for gain/tambre control. Playing with channel levels, bias and phase while switching saturation/compression switch in and out. It can be subtle but in feedback patches it can be essential!"

Fixed Resonant Filterbank demo - Low-gain Electronics | 4U Modular Serge Format
video upload by LowgainElectronics
"Quick demoing of some distortion patches that can be achieved. Simple FM kick drum patch (fm for more harmonic content) into Filterbank to access harmonic distortion thresholds!! Lots to tweak!"

Variable Bandwidth Filter - Final revision first sounds | Low-gain Electronics - 4U Modular Serge
video upload by LowGainElectronics
"Literally just fired up the Variable Bandwidth Filter… haven’t even calibrated it. Just ran a 50% pulse info it and did some simple sweeps and modulations from the Dual Slopes Compact and VC Filter/Oscillator. Eventually I take the Hi-Band output and feed it into the second input and it gives you resonance control. Fun part about that is you get 6 sources of feedback to choose from! The Hi-Band output provides some nice drip! Can also provide a bit of crunch and overdrive as well depending on your control settings and modulation sources.
There is a little clipping from my phone interface. Sorry about that.
Assembled modules, DIY PCB’s and Panels available very soon!"

Serge (Low-Gain) Sequence of Events Panel
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
You can find a demo here.
"Serge / Low-Gain
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Panel
Probably the most versatile Serge Sequencing Panel around. Absolutely brilliant for non linear type of music composing and sound creation In general. It looks like a sequencer, is a sequencer, but like with most things Serge, it's all about how you patch it... I've gotten some amazing and unique sounds just patching within this panel alone. Modules from Left to Right
Gate Sequencer
4 Row Programmable Sequencer
Bi-Directional Router
(Another 4 Row Programmable Sequencer
Sequential Switch
Dual Slopes (compact DUSG)"

VCO2 - First Sounds | Low-Gain Electronics - 4U Modular Serge
video upload by LowGainElectronics
"Prototype type boards came in and I couldn’t resist building one up at the end of the day. A board rev needs to be made. I completely forgot to condition the newly added Saw and Double Saw (DUO) outputs so they are 0-5V and not +/-5V. But you can get some really fun wave shapes including square when you mix them in an external processor (a crossfader would be a fun pairing for sure! Also need to tweak the FM input. It’s a little weak."

Buchla Music Easel - Low-Gain | Repair testing
video upload by LowGainElectronics
"Took far too long to get all the parts required to fix my Easel, and only and glue to actually fix it. I can finally take it home! One of the preset controls on the 218R is messed up but I’ll fix that later. Time to have some fun!"

Dual Audio Mixer - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular - Serge Modular
video upload by LowGainElectronics
"Dual Audio Mixer pcb is a go! Just need panels to arrive!
In this patch I’m just mixing 4 negative slews, and one ‘73 vcf in vco mode.. totaling a 6 voice drone. Because the mix bus is passive (buffered output of course) the signals fight against each other creating some really rich timbres!"

Flip your arps! Generating complex arpeggios with soft sync
video upload by Electrum Modular
"To begin phasing out my Behringer Neutron (the first piece of electronic gear I ever bought, back in 2018), I’ve just acquired two new oscillators: Intellijel’s Dixie II+ and Shakmat’s Banshee Reach. Both feature a 'soft sync' option, whereas Neutron has only hard sync. Oscillator sync is generally touted for its distinctive timbral effects. I’ve never seen any discussion of its use at lower (sub-audio) frequencies. But looking at its effect on the waveform, I reckoned soft sync might generate some interesting arpeggios. Here are the results of my experiments!
NOTE: the folded shape of these arpeggios led me to also experiment with using a wavefolder (Intellijel’s Bifold). This worked – and has the advantage of preserving the period/frequency of the arpeggio, and thus the time signature. But as you increase the fold, the arpeggio begins to sound too chaotic. I guess there is a sweet spot (or range) between a bog-standard arpeggio and a formless sequence of notes.
Other modules used:
Make Noise's Maths
Intellijel's Scales
Mutable Instruments' Plaits
Expert Sleepers' Disting EX
ALM's Pamela's New Workout
Low Gain's Short Bus
Alright Instruments' Chronoblob"

‘73 Filter gets a massive upgrade - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular
video upload by LowGainElectronics
"Well I finally fixed my only complaint about the 73 filter… at high resonance settings it falls apart and clips to the rails. No clean sine wave when patched to oscillate…
Well that’s all fixed now… :-D and now I absolutely love this filter even more than before!!"
