After October - Panharmonium/Metropolix


video upload by davidryle

"The Intellijel Metropolix sequencer making a dual pattern to a pair of Q206 VCO's. The filters were the Dove D502 Multi-Mode VCF and the Corsynth C110 2044 VCF. They go into the Lower West Side Studios (Yusynth) Panning Mixer then into the Rossum Electro-Music Panharmonium Mutating Spectral Resynthesizer.

The Panharmonium splits the signal to two destinations. The main voice is sent to the TipTop Audio Z-DSP with the Halls of Valhalla plate reverb. The FX voice is sent to the Make Noise Soundhack Erbe Verb reverb.

The Bass part is the Q960 sequential Controller into a pair of Q106 VCO's and The Oakley Sound Systems Diode Super Ladder filter. The on to the Synthetic Sound Labs Digital Delay and Tube VCA.

The fluttering noise effect is the Dove Audio WTF Oscillator in noise mode to the Moon Modular 517S in High Pass on to the Modcan 73B Dual Delay and the Echo Fix tape echo/reverb."

Serge’s 1979 ÷NCOM - It Compares, Counts, Waits, Fires and It Always Rises


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I bought the #Serge #NCOM in the blind because a) it's the work of a living legend, b) I had no idea what it did, and c) after reading the manual and looking on YouTube I still had no idea how to use it in real life music.

The ÷NCOM is short for pulse divider (by N steps), a comparator (gate goes high where +IN is higher than -IN) and last but not least, a staircase CV is raised one semitone when the compare goes high and the max steps N is not reached. So now you know, and just like me, it still remains a mystery how it can play a role in modular music.

÷NCOM is from 1979, and quantized CV was rare, especially when it's derived from any two compared voltages. It's using two CMOS chips, but only 5 of 8 bits were used (step 0 to 31 = 32 values). So is it early digital? Yes, but without a CPU or code and state of the art precision - for 1979. Is it still relevant in 2025? I am not sure how many voltage comparators are around in eurorack, and you probably never needed one. A staircase CV waveform is simply a matter of running a ramp through a quantizer, and you may be able to use an END of RAMP event on a Maths clone. The ÷NCOM circuit is often used for rhythmic patches, and the staircase is super useful to make synchronized ramps you can use to open a filter or wavefolder. Not to mention arpeggios. It's the opposite of high-tech, it's low tech. A circuit you need to learn, discover and find use for. It was special in 1979, and today it's part of the joy of owning a true Serge module that can always do more than you think."

OP-1 field x Modular synth x Prophet-10 | Minimal Electronic | Daily Quest 2025-11-01 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ MORPHAGENE, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10. It unfolds as a quiet minimal ambient composition that gradually converges into a distorted piano loop.

In the modular synthesizer, a sampled piano is played back on MORPHAGENE, with its output split into two paths. One signal passes through a Clouds clone, while the other is processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MKII, adding saturation and a tape-like effect.

On the OP-1 field, a sequence is played using the ENDLESS sequencer, with manual filter adjustments opening and closing the tone throughout the performance.

The Prophet-10 is performed with reverb applied through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky, adding depth and atmosphere to the sound."

Exploring PoliMATHS' Span Modes | Make Noise


video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Let’s remember the phrase “From one comes many!” Span and Activate give us three ways (modes) to create different patterns of functions from the eight channels of PoliMATHS. Channel Index mode could be thought of as sort of like Voltage Address, Round mode could be thought of as Sequencing, and Parallel as a Clock Divider. Let’s go through them one by one and we’ll dig in a little further than we had time for in the initial introduction video.

Looking Outside: Synthesizer and Eurorack Performance


video upload by MKustomAudio

"Three tracks created by using standalone synthesizers and eurorack modules. Sequenced from the Squarp Hermod+, I thought about recording everything simultaneously, but I decided to record it in groups to allow for more hands on manipulation of the equipment.

For drums, samples were loaded into the 1010music 'Bitbox Micro' with the following modules also used for processing the summed samples: Make Noise 'QPAS', Xaoc 'Koszalin', Qu Bit 'Mojave' and 'Nautilus', Erica Synths 'Blackhole DSP 2', Qu Bit 'Data Bender' (triggered/modulated using the Make Noise '0-CTRL'), and Noise Engineering 'Librae Legio'.

For synthesizers, the following hardware was used: Sonicware 'Evoke', Korg 'Arp 2600m' and 'Minilogue XD', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', Novation 'Peak' and 'Circuit Mono Station'.

Forward Momentum 0:00
Revival 3:59
Through the Window 8:20

Minimal electronic with glitched piano sound : Between the waves 2025-10-26 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with norns shield and modular synthesizer — an ambient electronica work where glitch-processed piano tones emerge within waves of sustained electronic sound.

On the norns shield, the barcode script is used to record and play back synth pad performances from the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10. The connected ‪@KorgOfficial‬ NTS-3 adds reverb and occasional tremolo effects.

In the modular synthesizer, a piano performance is recorded into Morphagene, which is then modulated with CV signals from Quad Function to create glitch variations. The modular output is split into two paths: the original signal from Morphagene, and another processed through a Clouds clone. The original path is further enhanced with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, applying micro-loop effects for additional glitch textures."

Make Noise Black & Gold Shared System ++

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this Reverb listing

"The Black and Gold Shared System is the latest revision of MakeNoise's early flagship. The star of the system is undoubtedly the DPO; a rich implementation of the West Coast complex oscillator pioneered by Don Buchla. Capable of wide range of tones with multiple outputs available simultaneously. It can also be used as 2 completely independent oscillators. The interaction of the 2 oscillators is high dynamic via the integrated mod bus and enhanced by a unique 'follow' circuit.

VCA, mixing and 'gate' functionality is provided by the Optomix and Moddemix, the latter of which also includes a unique ring mod implementation.

The DPO is ably supported by a wide variety of control options including a highly interactive touch interface as well as sophisticated and dynamic rhythmic control.

This unit was originally purchased with the mk1 version of Rene. It has been upgraded with the mk2 and an additional Brains module was added to the Pressure Points module to enhance the rhythmic potential of the interface.

I am including the original mk1 to enable it to be reset to original condition of if you want to explore a slightly simpler sequencing option.

The system is arguably a richer more up-to-date example Buchla's Music Easel that trades richer sequencing potential for the larger keyboard of the Buchla instrument."

Make Noise System Cartesian Modular System + extra modules



via this Reverb listing

"The System Cartesian allows for a playful exploration of both tonal, harmonic music and west coast style synthesis with digital and analogue oscillators. Bothe the Telharmonic (digital) and STO (analogue) oscillators are now discontinued and both offer unique functionality.

The System Cartesian is a very elegant package that offers sophisticated touch sequencing with the Rene 2 and is capable of a wide-range of timbres and tones. The Telharmonic offers 3 completely different types of digital synthesis (additive, Phase-Mod and a digital noise generator) all of which are available simultaneously. The controls allow the different methods to be blended in interesting, dynamic ways.

The core system is very capable, bit this system additionally includes the XOH output module that performs a little better than the older Rosie module. The Rosie has been returned to the case as this was the original configuration.

Also included is a Makenoise Tempi module that is the same size as the Wogglebug. The Tempi allows for more dynamic and sophisticated clocking of Rene's multiple axes and Maths transient generators. The Tempi allows for the System Cartesian to take on a more rhythmically dense guise.

Strymon SuperKar+ (Part 4) Chord Voice w/ Magneto, BitBox Micro, XPO, and ZPO


video upload by Rheyne

"The ‪@strymon‬ SuperKar+ Chord Voice through a Strymon Magneto. Percussion is from a BitBox Micro, bass is from a Make Noise XPO, and the background synth voice is from a Steady State Fate ZPO.

Loops are from Ableton Live, with a Korg SQ-64 acting as a MIDI to CV converter. Ableton's clock is randomized by CV Tools stepped-random LFOs. The Strymon Magneto is clocked by the kick drum trigger. Reverb is from Ableton Live. Recorded in one take.

SuperKar+ is a Eurorack voice module that uses Karplus-Strong synthesis to create the sound of plucked or bowed strings, struck or blown pipes or tubes, or a suite of other sounds."

Studio Ambient Session with Moog One, Prophet-10, Music Easel : Soundwalk 2025-10-10


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel, and modular synthesizers — an ambient electronica track built from layered sounds recorded while walking around the studio.

The Prophet-10 is connected to a blueSky reverb, played with long release settings while manually opening and closing the filter.

Both the Moog One and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead provide synth pads. The Nord Lead runs through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus with a deep reverb.

In the small Intellijel modular case, the ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ Morphagene plays back recorded piano sounds, with additional reverb added via a Clouds clone.

In the 7U Intellijel case seen on the right side of the screen, the InstruĊ Cs-L is processed through QPAS and Mimeophon for filtering and delay effects.

The Music Easel is connected to a ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, adding rich reverb. The Easel is played with noticeable portamento while performing on the keyboard."

PoliMaths | Multed Skewed Cycling Voltage Math | NUSS | Episode 04


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"OK, PoliMaths as an independent module, away from it's secred VCO comfort zone without a dual QXG. Is it worth diving into this deep, amazing, incredibly musical, versatile and innovative new concept? It's hard to say 'no' now, isn't it? On paper, it's a multed simple A/D envelope with a rise and fall, which can cycle. But it also features an 'oscillations' section, which is like an AD that always loops, and the AD can be shaped to the basic waveforms. So it's an LFO at low rates, and a VCO at high rates with V/OCT support that can decently track an octave or four. So it's not a precision VCO, it's an experimental sound maker. On it's own, polyphony is more like overlapping sounds, each sharing the same rate, which comes down to the same note. When spread is engaged, you'd skew these rates apart so you can morph between harmonic textures and atonal clusters. So it's polyphony, but confined to the 1 source, 8 copies design that marks the New Universal Synthesis System (NUSS).

On the negative side, it's not Maths, there's no voltage math, and it could be seen as a fancy mult for a single AD envelope or loop, with proper audio rate support and clever divisions and distributions.

But when you give it time, a wonderful module appears from behind the dense panel controls and the mysterious glyphs. On the positive side (where you can always find me), PoliMaths is a must have module. But I am also an extremely biased MakeNoise fan. I'd say this is not a typical beginner module, but if you want to make your modular stand out from the conventional east and west, this is definitely a module to consider."
