MATRIARCH + TAKE 5 + MAGNETO | Live Synth Performance #37 (DEPARTURE)


video upload by David Falcon

"This last few months I've been downsizing a lot in the studio, while focusing on creating a compact system within the Eurorack. Have lots of redundancies and gear that I haven't been using much. Now has been the time for the Sequential Pro 3. I used it a lot in some projects, but the last two years has been gathering dust, so it was time for it to find a new home.

Still trying to find the perfect balance. However I find these these two, the Moog Matriarch and the Sequential Take 5 , so inspiring that I hardly see myself parting with any of them. My plan is to pair the modular with the Matriarch more in the future, so we will see.
Also the Magneto is growing on me, I loved the Strymon dTape sound from the Timeline, but this one is AMAZING. Takes anything to a whole different sound world.

Lastly, I used Rings into FX Aid (Gen Loss algorithm) for the bass sound.

Mastered in Ableton.

The Strangest, Most Interesting Synth He's Played This Year (Morphor Echon6)


video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Morphor Echon6 is the world's first analog modal polysynth — a genuine departure from the wall of subtractive synths flooding the market right now. In this review and demo I dig into its Karplus-Strong-based exciter and resonator, six voices you can split into six independent monosynths, and a modulation system so intuitive it doesn't need a menu. Full raw demo at the end so you can hear it completely unprocessed.

WHAT IS MODAL SYNTHESIS?
Modal synthesis uses a Karplus-Strong oscillator — an exciter (like a pluck, bow, or hammer) run through a resonator (like a string or instrument body) — to fake physical, plucked/struck sounds. First proposed by Kevin Karplus and Alexander Strong back in 1982, you'll recognise the concept from modules like Mutable Instruments Plaits, Rings and Braids, and digital oscillators in synths like the Arturia MiniFreak and Korg Minilogue XD. The Echon6 takes that same idea and builds it entirely in analog circuitry — as far as I know, the first synth to pull that off.

MY TAKE
The Echon6 is a genuinely fresh alternative to the current glut of subtractive synths — your Jupiters, Junos, Prophets, and OB-style clones. It felt natural within minutes, the modulation is some of the cleverest I've used on any hardware synth, and the build quality is excellent. Compared to the Erica Synths Steampipe (digital modal synthesis), the Echon6 is easier to learn, while the Steampipe can get more chaotic, faster, thanks to its distortion and reverb. Both are worth a look if experimental modal synthesis is your thing — but the Echon6 gets a big thumbs up from me.

Easily customize your Mutable Instruments Plaits with the amazing new app Plaits Palette!


video upload by Perceptes

"In this video, I walk through a new web app called Plaits Palette (https://rubato.audio/plaits-palette/), which lets you easily create your own custom firmware for Mutable Instruments Plaits. You can assign synthesis models from a large library to slots of your choosing in up to 4 banks on the module. You can also customize chord tables, speech models, DX7 patches, and many additional new functions.

Patrons can download the firmware and field guide from the video here: / easily-customize-166364982"

RESONATORS | Rings | PolyMoog | Tiptop Audio | Haible by R*S


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"In this video, I'll try to explore the concept of resonators in electronic music. I am not sure I am correct here, but I guess the first official Resonator was from Serge, followed by the Resonators in the fist PolyMoog. Buchla may have closed the line with the 292 Spectral Processor, which is also a resonant array of filters. Resonant filters is what all these modules have in common. Jurgen Haible revisited the Moog resonator in the 21st century, and Emilie Gillet perfected it with the Rings module. TipTop Audio also made a faithful recreation of the Polymoog resonator quite recently.

My interest in resonators was ignited when I saw a 17 year old low-res video from Kenneth Elhardt running a Jupiter-8 through an isolated Moog resonator unit, turning clearly synthethic sounds in to very convincing voices, brass and woodwinds. I've used a few snippets (transformative / educational) and added a link to the original. Mr. Elhardt also has a few videos on his channel where he recreated 'medieval' music on a Synthesizer.com Moog clone which is an amazing listen and a hidden gem on the tube.

What I did not know, is that this video may have also inspired Haible and Tiptop Audio to recreate the resonator.

But wait. Rings? Yep. When not plucked and using the IN, you'll pass a sound through 48 digitally controlled 'virtual' filters. So don't pluck it. Resonate it."

JHaible TAU Phaser 'The Pipe' 2026 by Random*Source


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Today I am proud to show off the new TAU 2026 phaser edition from JHaible x Random*Source for Eurorack. Obviously the core 'Pipe' sound didn't change because it needs to remain faithful to its history and heritage. It's not supposed to sound different from the previous R*S version. But it does. This is because the TAU '26 features two inputs and two CV inputs instead of one. Also the inverted (-) V/OCT is dropped. Visually, the panel now matches the Serge Modular line so it neatly blends in with your Serge 3U gear.

So is it a 20 pole- or an 18 pole phaser? Is it even important? No. What's truly important is the PIPE configuration of 20 transistors in a classic ladder topology. Your input will actually flow through the circuitry like air in a tube and I think it's absolutely stunning when you run noise through it. However, when you bring a lush pad, the TAU will redefine 'lush' into a pseudo stereo swirl that doesn't make you seasick.

When you crank up the feedback and hit it with some trigger 'stick' or chain, the TAU will make remarkable percussion. The Tau is also available in 4U. It's still a Haible, but it carries the 'Serge Modular' branding and comes with an extra mixing panel.
