First Look at The Legendary J Haible TAU Phaser MK2!!

video upload by The Machines Won and Serge Modular | Random*Source

"Exploring the lush, sweeping textures of the Tau Pipe Phaser mk2 synth module. In this demo, you'll hear everything from subtle movement and vintage-style phase shifting to deep, resonant modulation that brings pads, leads, and drones to life.

Featuring a range of rate, depth, and feedback settings, this video highlights the module's rich analog-inspired character and its ability to add warmth, motion, and dimension to any patch.

Big thanks to Random*Source Serge for sending this module to demo and continuing to rethink and reimage these classic circuits!

Be on the lookout for more reels, live jams and demos. The music never stops!"

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.

Talking Serge, cybernetics & techno with Chris Miller (Gunnar Haslam/La Synthese Humaine)

video upload by Signal Sounds and Tom Churchill

"Tom and Luke are joined by a special guest for this episode of Signal Flow: Chris Miller, aka Gunnar Haslam, La Synthese Humaine (and many, many other aliases). Chris was a leading light in the early 2010s New York techno scene, and has gone on to use the Serge modular synthesiser to explore analogue computing, cybernetics and experimental sound design through his revered YouTube channel, La Synthese Humaine. He has also worked at Moog, where he produced and presented a superb series on the basics of synthesis, is one half of the excellent Base Camp Beta podcast with Shawn O’Sullivan, and is an all-round good egg with a wealth of knowledge on everything from experimental music to science, philosophy and economics. Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!"

Explaining and Testing the Stereo VCFQ by Serge Modular

video upload by Stazma

"Today we check out the the new stereo version of my favorite filter ever, the Serge VCFQ.

I'll exlain how the module works and make you listen to some basic sweeps but then we'll explaore some more thought out patches, not only is stereo.
It's as always a very patch programmable module that can be a sound processor and / or generator, for very tamed to completly wild.

Have fun!"

Stockhausen, Telemusik, and the Gagaku Circuit

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

"New Uses for Old Circuits is a series looking at linear and nonlinear processes in the modular system.

In 1966 Karlheinz Stockhausen went to Japan. Fascinated by the Noh theatre, Sumo, and tea ceremony traditions he found there, he made use of the facilities of NHK public broadcasting to make Telemusik. The piece centers around Stockhausen's so-called 'Gagaku Circuit' - a double ring modulation process which attempts to take two separate sounds and intermodulate them.

Stockhausen's 1972 Lecture:

Lecture 6 - TELEMUSIK (1972) Karlheinz Stockhausen

video upload by Tomás Olano

"Duration: 58'27"

Given at Essex University on May 7th 1972.

http://tomasolano.com

The substance of the work consists of recordings of a variety of traditional ethnic musics from around the world, together with electronically generated sounds. More than twenty of these recorded fragments are intermodulated on tape with electronic sounds and with each other to produce 'odd hybrid-types'—modulating, for example, 'the chant of monks in a Japanese temple with Shipibo music from the Amazon, and then further impos[ing] a rhythm of Hungarian music on the melody of the monks. In this way, symbiotic things can be generated, which have never before been heard'."

SPOTLIGHT: SERGE

"History will be made again with this unique show dedicated to such exciting times and people. Performers from all over the globe bring their Serge (and other 4U varieties) modular synthesizer for this intimate time capsule of such a tight scene.

We are also lucky to have a short form interview with Jill Fraser and Todd Barton who share a little of what it was like to be getting into this stuff in the mid-late 70's. Exciting times, and exactly why this story needs to be told."

Continuous and Discrete Motion

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

"New Uses for Old Circuits is a series looking at linear and nonlinear processes in the modular system.

In this video we explore the relationship between continuous and discrete signals, and observe how playing with that tension in the context of a feedback loop leads to chaotic behavior.

Tech Talk: K.A.S.I. - Serge Modular, Improvisation & Organic Movement (Electronic Beats TV)

video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats TV

"For this episode of Electronic Beats Tech Talk, we visited Kasi in the studio to explore her unique approach to live electronic performance, modular synthesis, and hardware-driven sound design.
She is currently studying Electronic Music Production and Performance at Catalyst – Institute for Creative Arts and Technology.
Working with the Serge Modular System, selected Eurorack modules, the Erica Synths Perkons, and the Elektron Analog Four MKII, Kasi creates a sound world between experimental ambient, hypnotic textures, and raw, groove-driven techno.
In this conversation, she talks about improvisation, real-time interaction, unstable modulation, and why she treats sound as a living system — shaped by psychedelic experiences, abstract art, and organic movement.
