Variations on a theme by Ciani: Voltage sculpting with Buchla's most powerful module

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Introduced in the mid-1970s, the Buchla MARF (Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator) remains one of the most powerful, and also one of the rarest, modules ever made. It was part sequencer, part envelope generator, part voltage sculptor. It programmed up to 16 stages of arbitrary voltage shapes, each with its own time, level, contour, and behavioral flags. Using Claude, I have designed a simplified (but also, in some ways, enhanced) 8-stage version for the Disting NT called MiniMARFA. This video demonstrates it through two patches including Suzanne Ciani's Prism Melody (with a Buchla Easel).

3 Reasons Why Random Voltages are ACE!! // RANDOM8 from Mylar Melodies & Befaco

video upload by DivKid

"Here's a 3 patches series video that distils down many of the reasons I think random voltages are ace to just 3 examples. It's also a bit of a quick demo of the fantastic new RANDOM8, your new random mate from your pal and mine Mylar Melodies (and Befaco)."

3 PATCHES WITH INCREASING AMOUNTS OF RANDOM
Patch 1 // Random for people that don’t like random (fools!)
02:58 Adding exciting movement to basic synth voices
Patch 2 // Looping random for melodies & riffs
07:17 Looping melodies & modulation for techno jams
Patch 3 // Embrace the random - let the random enter you, be you, surround you
14:54 Generative ambient Krell

THIS VIDEO IS NOT SPONSORED BY ANYONE I was sent the module by Mylar Melodies & Befaco to use as I like but they did not pay for, or have any say in this video. Any questions as always, just ask, clarity is always best."

A demo of RANDOM8: The world's most random module?

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Here's a demo of RANDOM8 (which is out now!) - it gives you 8 stepped or smooth random voltages in 8HP, with per channel looping & attenuator controls, pitch quantiser & more. It's designed to make your modular sound more alive & I designed it in collaboration with Befaco. First I'll explain it (2:33), then we'll Rings in to Clouds it (17:07), then we'll make drums and techno with it (27:42).

I managed to forget to show you how to reset channels to default settings! Just hold the channel button(s) down for 5 seconds. To reset all 8 channels, hold the top and bottom channels for 5 seconds."

GEMINI 2412 Dual SEM VCF Sequencer Tweaking #eurorack

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Some 70's-inspired tweaking with the GEMINI 2412, SAMPLE & Hold, and a Sequencer.
Video & Performance by ‪@DreamsOfWires‬
The Gemini is based on the classic Oberheim SEM filter, but with expansive flexibility, including a unifying CV and Audio mixer section between the two multi-mode VCFs. There is a shared output for both filters in 'Dual' mode as used here, but also separate shared outputs for each VCF, through which filter mode can be selected, and individual outputs for LP, BP and HP filters on each.
Also, a jumper on the back alters the behaviour of both filters individually - standard SEM resonance range, or extended high resonance setting that'll allow the filter to self-oscillate. 1V/Oct inputs are present for both filters, so each can even be used as a simple sine wave oscillator over a few octaves.

AJH Synth Eurorack modules used:
Vintage Transistor Core VCO
Gemini 2412 Dual State Variable Filters
Discrete Cascaded VCA
Dual LFO + VCA
SAMPLE HOLD + SLEW
RING SM (Moog CP3 mixer/sub bass generator/ring modulator)
DH-ADSR (looping envelope generator)

Joranalogue and Friends / ODESSA chords / DISCRETE MAP sequence / CYCLE 5 bass

video upload by BRiES

"Apart from the bass (CYCLE 5) I'm not using any Joranalogue modules for sound generation... but all of the modulation, a lot of the sequencing and triggers are made with, processed by or routed through the Joranalogue modules. They truly are kings of utility (and more). I think it's fair to mention that I used quite a bunch of Schlappi modules for the transposition of the chords as well as Discrete Map by New Systems Instruments for the sequencing of the root of the chord as well as the main clock of the patch."

909 loop chewed up by Glowing Orb analogue state variable filter

video upload by WORNG Electronics

"Running a simple 909 loop through the WORNG Electronics Glowing Orb state variable filter to crunch it up and give it some flavour. An envelope generator triggered in time with the beat is patched to the FM CV input, then parameters are tweaked by hand to drive the signal and add colour and character with the Glowing Orb filters. No external audio processing is added, just raw audio from the filter through a SideCar VCA."

Eric Schlappi live at DATA/LOSS Gray Area SF 05232026

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"A live improvised performance by Eric Schlappi at the DATA/LOSS event at Gray Area SF May 23rd 2026. The event was organized and curated by Errorgrid with visuals by Arson Rivvers.

This set had a focus on heavy percussion sequenced by the Schlappi 4 bit ecosystem (Nibbler, BTMX, BTFLD) with an SSF Ultra Kick and Weston AD110 for the actual percussion. Bass and some leads were made with the Three Body, 100 Grit, and another Nibbler generating suboctaves. Delay was 4MS DLD and all compression and distortion with the Schlappi Eddy. Pads and additional leads were a prototype Schlappi desktop polysynth, played by hand with a midi controller.

How to Build a Krell-like Generative Patch with 5 Modules

video upload by Musical Miscellany & More

"My friend Barry, who passed away in 2023, showed me this trick. This simple patch requires a VCO, VCA, envelope generator, random source, and LFO.

NOTE: your EG must have an EOC output and be modulatable. Also, your random source must be externally clockable.

Basic Patch - 0:43

DUB PLEX | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"A subterranean Plexiphon patch.

Plus a visual score by Bruce Magill, realized sonically by Norman Freund!

More info about Norman's performance below:

SoundCloud: / landscape-graphic-score
BandCamp: https://normanfreund.bandcamp.com/tra...

Description:
Late 2025 Walker Farrell from MakeNoise started an international music challenge for musicians to participate in, submit your own Graphic Score, then at the draw of a hat, you would be assigned someone else's score to interpret and create music from. I am always interested in music challenges and the more off-beat the better.

Late December 2025 names were drawn at random, Walker constructed a collection of MakeNoise modular synthesis cards to generate random numbers to set who gets what score. I was allocated a topographical map from Bruce Magill that contained some text notes and penciled in graphics. Bruce had a musical concept in mind for this score but did say "Notes for this graphic score are only a suggestion. You can disregard them and interpret this score in any way you like, if you wish. ... Don't overthink." So I did have free reign to interpret the score as I wished, so I could let my imagination run wild. In my younger years I did a lot of wilderness hiking so was and still am, quite familiar with topographic maps, so for me this was the perfect score, something I could relate to and understood. As a side note, there is no right answer for interpreting a graphic score, so understanding is not an essential ingredient, however a vivid imagination is. It is a bit like laying on the grass and looking up at the clouds -- what do you see beyond back scattered light from suspended vapours in the sky.

BLIPPOO BOX LEGACY - DRONE SELF-PATCH

video upload by biyiblip

"The Blippoo Box Legacy creates
deep drone textures
with a simple self-patch.

The instrument is patched back into itself,
allowing the sound to react, evolve
and slowly transform from within.

Originally designed by Rob Hordijk, the Blippoo Box is a living instrument of interaction, instability, resonance and discovery.

The Blippoo Box Legacy Eurorack is not an imitation, not a replica and not a copy.

It is the continuation of Rob Hordijk’s official legacy through Biyiblip.
