Roland FANTOM CV/GATE out to SYSTEM-500 - "Weightless" song by gattobus

gattobus

"This performance was played and recorded in real time using Roland FANTOM as master controller and SYSTEM-500 modular synthesizer as main sound source.

FANTOM CV OUT 1 is controlling the Bass Part (left hand) and CV/GATE 2 is controlling the Lead Part (right hand).
Modwheel's been assigned to CV OUT 3 controlling the Filter Cutoff and VCA.

I used a DrumLoop sample (made with TR-8s), loaded in FANTOM Sample Pad and processed through its Analog Filter.

BOSS Analog Chorus CE-2W was used on the bass part and DM-2W Analog Delay was used on the Lead Part.

SoundToys LittlePlate was used as master reverb.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on Ableton Live 10."

Schoolhouse: a photography and synthesizer exploration

CatSynth TV

"Experiments in photography and sound based on a single photograph of the Tassajara One-Room Schoolhouse in Tassajara, California.

Original photograph shot with a Canon EOS 60D and EF28-135mm lens. 87 variations created using Hipstamatic lenses, films, and flashes (iOS).

Sounds based on BOOM Mechanicals and Cinematic Metals imported into Arturia CMI V.
Addition modular synthesizer sounds from Metasonix RK5, Rossum Electro-Music Morpheus, Qu-Bit Prism, Mutable Instruments Plaits, Malekko Noisering, and Circuit Abbey ADSRjr."

62HP EP2: Sample And Scratch Groovebox

Perfect Circuit

"For this second episode of 62HP we put together a groovebox system that combines sample based sounds with a simple synth voice, effects and a pseudo scratching sound with a fader for cutting the sound.

The ALM Squid Salmple generates most of the sounds with it's 8 channels of sampling. Everything is sequenced with the Malekko Varigate 8+. Erica Synths Pico Voice is used for a synth line and the Pico DSP adds effects to the case. The "scratch" sound is made with a sample looping on the Squid Salmple, the pitch is modulated with the Soundmachines LS1 and the sound is cut in and out with a Jesse Dean Designs JDDX2R Fader. Everything is housed in an Intellijel Palette case and the 1U Quadratt is used as a mixer.

Module List:

ALM Squid Salmple
Malekko Varigate 8+
Erica Synths Pico Voice

Quick Jam: IO Instruments Eurorack Modules

Perfect Circuit

"IO Instruments has some interesting eurorack modules out and some more on the way. We put together this small system with a few of their modules including the Himalia which is a sound source with 5 generators including filtered analog noise, digital noise, a square wave oscillator, sampler with lots of built in drum sounds and a chord generator. IO also has basic modules like the Themisto VCO, Euporie VCF, Pashiphae ring mod, Sinope VCA and Sponde mixer that add clever and useful extra features. All of the IO modules also have colorful knobs and a halftone paint job that makes them look great together.

We added in a Noise Engineering BIA for the kick, Intellijel Quadrax for envelopes and a Malekko Quad VCA for mixing and extra VCAs. Everything is sequenced with the Arturia Keystep Pro.

malekko manther growl exploration

impurfekt

"please support the channel: https://impurfekt.bandcamp.com

the malekko manther growl is a synth voice for eurorack based on their manther desktop synth. it includes a cem3340 vco chip and an ssm2044-based analog filter. it has separate levels and outputs for the square, saw and triangle oscillators. it has two adsr envelopes with outputs and an lfo with multiple destinations and an output. it has a wavefolder with two modes: tri or all. the all mode folds all waveforms and the external input post-filter.

i've had my eye on the manther desktop for some time but knew i wouldn't utilize the built-in sequencing capabilities. upon discovering the manther growl i realized i could replace a number of modules in my existing rack (including my a-105 vcf which is based on the same ssm2044 chip) with room to spare.

after spending a few hours with the manther growl i'm very impressed. it's straightforward and sounds as good as the specifications suggest. the filter has a nasty, vintage character. the oscillators are beefy. the wavefolder is a unique addition that introduces unpredictable sonic variety. all the tools i like in a single oscillator synth are there.

my only critique is that driving the levels doesn't seem to alter the tone. the manther growl sounds as though it's always being driven. that said, it's still capable of subtle sounds. what it excels at though are thick, heavy, nasty, dirty tones. in short, it does what is says on the tin.

filter sweeps at 0:05
bass line at 4:30
saw arp at 6:45
wavefolder chaos at 10:31
triangle arp at 14:43

Combo I Like: 4Ms PEG Feat Roland System-500 505 Filter Eurorack module (For "DubStep" Wobble Bass)

Sound Provider

"Yes,another "Combo I like" with the Pingable Envelope Generator from 4ms, Didn t I tell you that it s one of my favorite modular Synth LFO?

For the wobble Bass and to do Dubstep Bass line with My Modular Synthesizer 99% of the time I use the PEG because with the different Speed and Shape it s really easy to do this very useful sync Lfo.

For filter I don 't always use the same , but one filter I particularly like is the Roland Sys 505, it s a reproduction of the Analog SH-5 Synthesizer Filter with lot of character, and because it s a double filter I can use 1 different Lfo of each Filter cutoff.

What you don 't see on the video:

The oscillator are a Square and a Sawtooth from my Roland 510 Eurorack module.

Not use I m using it here but in this kind of patch I used to plug my Tiptop Audio Circadian Rhythms in the Peg Reset to Re-Synchronize the Start of the 2 Peg Lfo when I need it.

Also I don 't use any vca here.

Voila

WMD METRON S. Bus Tutorial - Using METRON with Malekko Voltage Block

Published on May 29, 2020 WMDevices

"WMD Metron is a 16 track Trigger and Gate sequencer with tons of deep features, real-time control, and a very easy to use interface.

METRON can be expanded to have up to 64 CV tracks as well by adding the Voltera expander (4 CV tracks per Voltera)

Metron also sends commands via S.BUS to communicate to other modules that are on the same powered bus board. These messages are MIDI program changes that are primarily used for recalling presets on other modules using the METRON interface.

In this video, Alex goes through how to set up your METRON to send these program changes to the Malleko Voltage Block, allowing you to change the Voltage Block's presets remotely and automatically from METRON. this is great for a Eurorack live performance, where you are using METRON as the master sequencer, but would like to recall presets on your voltage block. METRON's S.BUS function allows you to send multiple messages in one sequence, per variation, or per track. Eseentially treated as a 17th track, you can also change the pattern length of the S.BUS track independent of the other tracks, meaning you can have a polymetric feel to your program changes."

Malekko Wiard Gargoyle 60HP semi-modular system

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

via this auction

"wiard / malekko gargoyle 60hp semi-modular analog synthesizer. a slimmed down eurorack approximation of grant richter's original wiard system in a stand alone case.

includes the following:
- wiard classic oscillator (saw, sine, triangle, and square outputs w/ phase modulaton)
- wiard envelator x 2 (versatile and naturalistic looping function / envelope generator)
- wiard xmix (vc controlled crossfading utility mixer)
- wiard borg 2 filter (screaming vactrol based LPG/filter derived from the korg ms20 filter)
- xaoc tallin dual vca (lovely transistor core vca pair with clipping options)
- moog 60hp semi-modular case with built in tiptop uzeus power supply and flying busboard (this has been installed on the INSIDE along the back of the case, to maximize precious front panel space. see pics)

took forever to hunt down these rare modules individually, but im offering them to you here as a complete, ready to go synth. condition is very good, although they all will have some degree of rack rash (to be expected with 10 year old modules). all original boxes and documents included, where available."

Division 6 CEM3340 VCO & Business Card Sequencer

Published on May 17, 2020 matrixsynth

Update: crazy little noodle added above. Description: "I don’t know what this is, but it sure is fun. Division 6 CEM3349 VCO oscillator sweep, Malekko Richter Oscillator II sequenced by Division 6 Dual Mini Sequencer and Tiptop BD808 and SD808 triggered by Z8000 Matrix Sequencer/Programmer. Noisering modding the Oscillator II for a little added grit. All through Mattson Mini Modular JP VCF and finally TC Electronic M300. Peeeeew!!! Kidding aside, listen to how low it goes with decent speakers. The CEM3340 was used in the Moog Memorymoog, Oberheim OB-Xa, Octave Voyetra Eight, Roland SH-101, MC-202, Jupiter-6, MKS-80, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 10 & T8, Pro-One, Prophet-600, Banana Poly Synth, Crumar Spirit, Synton Syrinx, and more. See for yourself here. The Curtis CEM3340 was re-issued in 2016."

A few pics of a surprise package in the mail the other day. :) A Division 6 CEM3340 VCO & V2 update chips for my Business Card Sequencer. Pics of them in the rack below. Looking forward to giving them a run through.

Malekko Heavy Industry // Manthers, Modulars and Russian Submarines

Published on Mar 23, 2020 DivKidVideo

"As part of 'DivKid's West Coast Adventure' (more on that below) I had the chance to head down to Portland, Oregon and go see Malekko Heavy Industry and their Darkplace Manufacturing facility too. It was a pleasure to meet Josh Holley, Paul Barker, Ben Davis, Anna Sitko and the rest of the team. I had a nosy around (camera in hand for the b roll) and grabbed some footage with two different Eurorack modular systems and also the very lovely Manther! Across a couple of days I also sat down with founders Josh Holley and Paul Barker for a casual interview, learning some background as well as looking to the future.
