"A self-playing cybernetic patch made on the Modcan A-Series modular system

The modules have been set up so that they interact with each other using CVs and triggers generated by themselves, based upon two initial VCOs which are the source of all the sounds and also modulations. There are no Random Generators in this patch

In other words, by creating a modified feedback path between the audio outs of the VCOs and their own CV inputs, chaotic interactions occur, for both pitch and timing attributes. The modifier in this case is a VC Waveshaper

Another important part of the patch is the derivation of gate pulses from audio signals. For this, I am using a Gated Comparator module. There is also a Sample & Hold module and various other CV and timing modifiers and processors in the patch

The whole idea of cybernetics is to set up chaotic systems in a controlled and productive way, something that this Modcan synthesiser can do really well"

"Modular impromptu jam with some provided Beads samples
loaded into my BitBox Micro and used for percussuion.

Camera has a focus issue... oh well. :-P

Too many other modules to mention... sequenced with the Keystep Pro and Modcan Touch Seq.
Some live keys."

Spiken by BENGE. Modcan A Series (self-playing patch)

zack dagoba

"A minimalist study on the Modcan A Series modular system. This is a self-playing patch which utilises two voltage controlled LFOs to generate the timing pulses, and random voltages to control pitch. There are also two audio samplers in the signal path which help generate the spikes

Night Horse

"Slow melodic ambient piece using 2-Q960's, Q119, 2-STG sequencers, and an Instruo Harmonaig. Oscillators include a Q106, MI Braids, and four STG oscillators. Filters include Sea Devils, Oakley SVF, Q150 and Yusynth Arp 4072. Delays include EchoFix tape delay, Modcan Dual Delay, Behringer DD400, Empress Reverb, TC Electronics D-Two, and 2-Lexicon MX200.

The main looping line from a Q960 into the Harmonaig is steady until midway when I disconnect the gate pulse from a quantizer and insert a random gate source from a Yusynth Random Gate module.

An additional faster sequence from a second Q960 through an STG Switch module is playing a Dove Audio WTF vco and a Q106 through the Q107 bandpass filter. It comes in around midway and fades out again."

"A live performance with the 5U large format modular synthesizer.

Starting with an Encore Electronics frequency shifter and Yusynth Arp 4072 filter. Modulations to the frequency shifter from a Sputnik WCRS, and an Ian Fritz DDVCO in harmonic sequence mode.

The bass sequence is driven by the STG Soundlabs suite with two VMS and one TMS, a pair of EG's, a Switch module and the Time Divider. Clock timing from Cubase via dinsync to the Time Buffer. Four synthesizers.com Q106's into a Q150 transistor ladder filter and an Oakley SVF.

The melodic sequence is a pair of Q960 sequencers to a pair of Q106's through an STG Sea Devils filter and Q107 SVF.

The percussive tick sound is a Sputnik voltage controlled slope.

Delays and reverbs include Behringer DD400's, Empress reverb, Strymon Blue Sky, Electro Harmonix Canyon, TipTop DSP with Valhalla Shimmer and Modcan 73B.'

Klang Stadt - Fumana - Magneto & More Eurorack

Published on Apr 9, 2020 isvisible isinvisible

"A drone from the Frequency Central 'Klang Stadt' filtered through the Frap Tools 'Fumana', which is having a few frequencies modulated by the Modcan 'Quad LFO' and the two LFO's in S&H mode from the Erica Synths 'Drum Sequencer'.

The ODD and EVEN outs from the 'Fumana' are feeding the Strymon 'Magneto'.

The ALL output from the 'Fumana' is feeding the Q-Bit 'Prism'.

An arpeggio from the Synthesis Technology E350 'Morphing Terrarium' fed through the Modcan 'Dual Delay' and the Doepfer 'A-101-3 Vactoral Phaser'.

Bass drum is the Mutable Instrument 'Peaks'. Snare is the Dave Smith 'DSM03 Feedback'. Added percussion is the Mutable 'Braids' in Cymbal mode feeding the Mutable 'Elements'.

Big low pad sound is the Sum output from the WMD 'PDO', the sub and saw out from the Livewire 'AFG' mixed then thrown through the ZVEX 'Instant Lo-Fi Junky' and a Tiptop 'Z-DSP' with the 'Halls of Valhalla' card installed."
