Patch Memory Performance #3 | Modular synth terrace jam with 4MS SMR and R*S Triple Waveshaper
video upload by djr brunstein
"Patch Memory Performance.
A modular synthesiser performance recorded on my terrace in Porto, built around the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator and the Serge Random Source Triple Waveshaper [with Play all Day's PlayFader].
This patch became something to play rather than explain, with dense cross modulation and unstable feedback paths.
Watch the companion video looking at the underlying patch structure here:"
Patch Memory #3 | Chaotic cross modulation with 4MS SMR and R*S Triple Waveshaper
video upload by djr brunstein
"Another patch exploration video, this time focusing on chaotic cross modulation between the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator and the Serge Random Source Triple Waveshaper.
This is a short overview of the patch logic rather than a full performance or a repeatable recipe. The sounds are unstable by design and difficult to reproduce exactly.
Performance audio available on Bandcamp, alongside an additional piece here:

Recue | Four Seas VCO: Breaking Waveforms with Audio Inputs
video upload by Ferry Island Modular and Recue
"Recue showcases an awesome hybrid workflow with Ableton, in which Four Seas is used both as a VCO and an audio processor. Make sure to watch until he hits to spot. 🤩
'On this patch Four Seas is hooked into Ableton Push, which is spitting out both CV and audio into it. I got excited about the idea of audio input modulating the oscillators, so Push is playing a simple bass line with the module and sending a beat into the audio inputs distorting and breaking the waveform apart in all the right places. All other modulation in the patch is done by hand, sweeping for the sweet spots. Audio is fed back to Ableton where there's bunch of effects after for live manipulation.'"

12/17/25 Zerosum Inertia ZI54 + Trogotronic 676 + RYK 185 (System 100m) + Alesis MIDIVERB II
video upload by Cfpp0
"A little montage of three horrendous fanfares while testing power supplies. The Monorocket Mission6 case has been emptied and the Zerosum Inertia ZI54 and Metasonix RKP have been moved to the racks, where the Moog Subharmonicon used to be installed. We almost sold the amazing Trogotronic 676 and two 11 VCA controllers, but they’re staying. Those, plus a Zerosum Inertia 6AS6 Signal Combiner, have been added to the same rack, as they all sound great with the Roland System 100m. There is also a Doepfer Quantizer, mainly for the Roland 182 sequencer we got recently. The reverb is from the MIDIVERB II."

Analogue Systems (Parts 2): Experiments and Expectations
video upload by Stromkult
Part 1 here
"This is the second part in a series of videos featuring the UK modular institution Analogue Systems originally published in 2015. It was filmed by Evi Kruckenhauser during Andreas Schneider's and Holger Zapf's (now managing director of Doepfer) visit to Cornwall, where Analogue System's Bob Williams and Steve Gay reside and have built AS modules since the 1990s. After recently stumbling upon these videos again, we talked to Andreas and thought it would be nice to republish them and make them available on YouTube for the first time ever. While Bob has since retired, Steve continues to craft modules with the same exceptional audio quality in South Cornwall.
In this video, Steve and Bob talk about the philosophy behind Analogue Systems, the advantages of people using their modules in the "wrong way", how the history of electronic music can create certain expectations, the 5U vs. 3U question, designing circuits back in the analog days, and more."

This is Not Rocket Science (TiNRS) Workshop @schneidersladen_berlin
video upload by SchneidersLaden
"On November 20, 2025, This Is Not Rocket Science (TiNRS) visited our showroom in Berlin. In this recording of the evening, Priscilla and Stijn Haring-Kuipers present their latest Eurorack modules, the legendary Fenix IV, and provide insights into their creative applications for experimental sound design.
Special attention is given to modules such as BOPP & STEVE, which beautifully demonstrate how far reverb and effects processing can be taken in a modular context. The presentation is complemented by a live performance by Serge Jansen, Priscilla, and Stijn, who use TiNRS modules in a hardware-based modular live set and demonstrate their strengths in a stage context.
Recorded at the SchneidersLaden showroom, Berlin-Neukölln."

nonlinearcircuits Introduces 4HP NEURON
video upload by cirtcele
"This module is a 4HP version of the NLC 8HP Neuron & Difference Rectifier.
The differences are half the panel real estate, SMD components, LEDs to indicate activity and one less input on the Neuron (2 instead of 3).
From the original version description -
The Neuron was inspired by a paper on neural computing and is a variation of a typical analogue neuron circuit. It can be used as a complex audio waveshaper, gate or pulse generator, CV shaper or to generally mess things up. The diff-rect is a hybrid of two basic op amp ‘building blocks’ – a difference circuit and a rectifier. Not sure if I have ever seen the two merged together before. It is probably a bad idea except for synth use, where it is a wonderful idea!
The Difference Rectifier has 4 inputs (two + & two -) and two outputs. The Neuron has 3 2 inputs and one output, the pots control when the neuron will react to incoming signals and how much it will react."

Minimal House with Modular Click Textures and SIRIN Bass | Weird Receipt 2025-12-16 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"This piece was created using @MoogSynthesizers SIRIN, @RossumElectroMusic Assimil8or, and Mutable Instruments Plaits.
It is a minimal house track built on an even four-on-the-floor kick, with fine-grained rhythmic details layered on top.
Both the modular system and the SIRIN are triggered via MIDI from Ableton.
On the Moog SIRIN, the bassline is performed while the filter cutoff is continuously adjusted to shape the tone.
The Assimil8or receives MIDI from LOCUTUS to generate rhythmic parts. Some sounds are modulated with CV from a Quad LFO, turning them into click-like textures.
Effects are occasionally applied using CLOUDS. The kick and clave are routed through separate outputs: the clave passes through @ChaseBlissAudio LOST+FOUND, the click sounds through MOOD MKII, and the kick through a Bass Driver DI.
The Plaits module plays harmonic elements, which are also occasionally processed through a CLOUDS clone. The output is routed through the @strymon blueSky to add reverb"

F*ck With Sound ships Break On Through and Bring It On Eurorack Modules
Press release follows:
F*ck With Sound ships Break On Through and Bring It On, debuting dedicated DACS Audio brand with extraordinary Eurorack modules living up to noteworthy name
GATESHEAD, TYNE AND WEAR, UK: having opened ears in October when debuting during the Bristol, UK-hosted Machina Bristronica 2025 event showcasing electronic music culture and technology, dedicated DACS Audio brand F*ck With Sound is proud to ship Break On Through and Bring It On — opening an absorbing new chapter in the award-winning high-performance, well-engineered product producer’s four-decade-spanning design and manufacturing history with a FET distortion unit (based on an extension of what was originally a microphone level limiter) and a ring modulator boasting a super-smooth sound, really low breakthrough, and switchable WEIGHT and EDGE controls (which will both be familiar to users of DACS Audio’s legacy FwS FREQue, much-lauded as a 2U rack-mount, two-channel ring modulator outboard effect), respectively, representing extraordinary Eurorack modules living up to the newly-launched brand’s noteworthy name — as of December 15…
As a FET distortion unit based on an extension of what was originally a microphone limiter, the basic circuit behind F*ck With Sound’s Break On Through module has been used — and abused! — by producers for years, more recently emulated as a plug-in, before being effectively adapted to join the ranks of the ever-expanding Eurorack marketplace. Maintains DACS Audio Managing Director Dr Douglas Doherty: “After reading about Soundtoys’ Devil-Loc plug-in, I was intrigued. We were looking for a distortion unit to go in a mic pre under development. I had heard about Tchad Blake’s work with the original Shure Level-Loc — particularly on drums, and this seemed like a bit of serendipity that had to be acted upon! The perfect fit. In the end, we didn’t proceed with the mic pre, but it was clear that this would be ideal for modular system users.”
Bringing Break On Through to market as a 14HP-sized Eurorack module — based on a classic analogue microphone limiter design that was, according to legend, hijacked by an electronics-savvy record producer, and used on numerous records for ‘breaking through’ with drums and percussion, particularly — was easier said than done, however. “As always, there were many hurdles,” admits Dr Douglas Doherty, before continuing: “The original circuit was for microphones, so it had to be upped for line level; it was single voltage rail, so had to be adapted for dual voltage rail; the interaction of the threshold and input gain needed some tweaking; and we wanted to adjust the release. After a few prototypes, we arrived at the current unit, which is very responsive and versatile. Control-wise, it has an input gain [IN GAIN] and a threshold setting, which we call BREAK; as well as the manual BREAK control, there is also a CV input [IN] to modulate the threshold. There is a variable RELEASE control that can produce some very interesting results, depending on the nature of the input. On the output, we also have gain [OUT GAIN], and a CV input [IN] to modulate the output level [GAIN MOD].”
Musically speaking, the end result “…is a brick wall limiter that can — by upping the input level — be pushed into distortion,” describes Dr Douglas Doherty, justifiably proud of the fact that F*ck With Sound successfully upgraded and updated the circuit concerned to produce a colouring block with a vast pallet. “With dynamic material such as drums, it can be set for only peaks to distort — the rest remaining clean. That quality was commented upon by a couple of distortion aficionados atMachina Bristronica.” Break On Through features — hitherto unmentioned — worth highlighting here include: LED indication for distortion; solid metal sleeve jacks for longevity and stability; and custom DACS Audio aluminium knobs.
