"The classic Serge TKB is also available for eurorack - in original dimensions (4U) but with eurorack jacks. Touch sensitivity has been greatly improved and some new features such as GLIDE have been added. However, the patches in this video focus on the touch side of things."

SERGE by Random*Source TRIPLE+ WAVESHAPER / a more detailed look / synth & guitar

video upload by BRiES

"In this video I run a guitarloop and a saw wave through the waveshaper. By adding modulation you can drastically alter the behaviour of the module. You can follow along on the scope.
Later in the video I link the three waveshaper sections and add loads of modulation (slow and audio rate) to completely mangle the original saw wave."

DIRT CHEAP / waveshaping chords / Serge R*S TRIPLE+ WAVESHAPER / eurorack jam

video upload by BRiES

"I ran stereo chords through a summing circuit (sumdif) to make a mono mix that I then distorted with the TWS+.

Everybody needs some mess in there studios. Without any mess...
Who am I kidding. I really love a tidy environment, but because gear is constantly being shifted around I find myself surrounded with empty boxes, stray cables and a litter of instruments that are either still looking for a cosy place to sit or having a time out after playtime. I'll tidy up tomorrow, I promise."

SERGE by Random*Source / TRIPLE+ WAVESHAPER / a quick runthrough

video upload by BRiES

"In this video I try to show how the TRIPLE+ WAVESHAPER by Serge Modular by Random*Source reacts to a saw wave (its intended purpose).

I add some modulation to demonstrate the difference between the VC1 and VC2 inputs. There's some audio rate modulation as well. I do a bit of everything. This video is not an extensive playthrough. At this point I'm not sure what exactly it is that the circuits are doing, but maybe I'll figure it out exactly and then I can do a more thorough playthrough of this module."

Today i'll go with you on a guided tour of one of my (if not THE) favorite modular synthesizer in my collection: the Serge modular Mantra & TKB panel by Random*Source

@serge-modular

The Mantra is meant as a perfect intro to the world of Serge in 4U size (not eurorack format), and the TKB is a powerhouse of sequencing and interactive control. I'll just scratch the surface of what's possible with this combo but at least it should give you an idea of how you could use these.

Have fun!"

Serge Modular Paperface 2.0 - Rhythm & Stealth


"Exploring the rhythmic side of the Serge Paperface easel - Serge's 2022 redesign of the original 1st generation Serge synthesizer from 1973. Single take recording."

See the Random Source label below for more.

HELIOS

"The Serge HELIOS is a powerful voice panel that brings the raw Paperface oscillator sound to a new level and is the ideal basis for both tonal and experimental sound explorations. Serge's redesign of the 1973 VCOs adds temperature compensation and exceptional tracking over 6+ octaves. The Oscillator+ adds an PULSE OUT with pulse width modulation.

The voice panel comes built and calibrated in a superslim boat and is designed to be powered externally (e.g. with a mobile PSU) - PSU not included."


TEMPO DI ROMA

"TEMPO DI ROMA offers a unique combination of sequencing, programming, switching and logic, that brings Paperface to a new level. The classic GATE sequencer is no longer alone - two 4-step programmers that are also sequencers (with HOLD, RESET, UP/DOWN) can be run independently. Serge's new metronomic Clock is a precise, temperature-stable analog tempo source that can bring any of these sequencers to life. Three Bi-Directional Switches allow complex combinations of the Sequencers (or even audio signals). The bottom switch is special: it includes a Flip-Flop so that with the first trigger, the Switch is turned ON (and stays ON), until another trigger turns it OFF again. An additional FLOP output is also added. Last not least the panel contains a PEAK&TROUGH section. With logic signals, PEAK (max function) acts like an boolean OR, TROUGH (min function) like a boolean AND. However, PEAK&TROUGH can also be used with audio signals or CV.

The sequencer panel comes built and calibrated in a superslim boat and is designed to be powered externally (e.g. with a mobile PSU) - PSU not included."


PARIS-FLASH

"The Serge PARIS-FLASH combines the key Serge modules of the Paperface era, especially slopes and envelopes, into one panel. While it may look like a system primarily designed for CV-Control, it is equally strong in the audio range.

The slopes panel is to be released in SPRING 2023 and will come built and calibrated in a superslim boat and is designed to be powered externally (e.g. with a mobile PSU) - PSU not included."

Serge Random*Source Resonant EQ - SMD vs Thru hole

video upload by John Schussler

"I've had an SMD version of the Random*Source Serge Resonant EQ for some time, and have been curious to know whether the older thru-hole version had a significantly different sound. I recently ran across one for sale, so here we are.

This is basically me trying to figure out how they're different, and whether I have a preference. Ideally I'd only keep one, but....

Source oscillator is an Acid Rain Chainsaw in single saw mode.
Sequence from Stochastic IG. Envelope from Zadar.
