MEGA MILTON MEGA TIPS

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'MEGA MILTON' is a smorgasbord of handy all analog utilities in just 8HP that will greatly extend the functionality of your Eurorack system. It includes a stereo line input converter, fixed 4 input mixer with breakout attenuator, gated slew limiter, sample and hold with analog white noise, and a buffered mult with handy LEDs to monitor signals.

In this video we take a deeper look at some of the more creative and interesting ways the sections of the MEGA MILTON can be used, including as a ring mod style effect, sample rate reduction, logic rhythms, distortion, feedback and more!"

Kaivo: Output Overview

video upload by Madrona Labs

"Overview of Kaivo's Output Module

Kaivo is a software instrument combining two powerful synthesis techniques (physical modeling and granular synthesis) in an easy-to-use semi-modular package. It’s laid out a bit like an acoustic instrument; the GRANULATOR module acts like the player’s touch, exciting one or more tuned objects (here, the RESONATOR module, based on physical models of resonant objects) that come together in a central resonating body (the BODY module, also physics-based)."

This is impressive! // Time Machine from Olivia Artz Modular (OAM) [ambient eurorack fx]

video upload by DivKid

"I love a good delay and this has been a great delay that’s given a wide range of musical results. The Time Machine from OAM (Olivia Artz Modular) is a multi-tap delay with various timing, spread and clocking options as well as the ability to create custom blends on 8 delay taps and time divisions. This led to designing custom reverb ambiences and even finding a ‘Dynamic Rhythm Designer’ that allowed for making hi hat and bass rhythms in an intriguing way. Lots of links and the timing below. Have at it!"

Exploring vactrol filters and modular utilities with Nekyia Circuits Mezcal, Muzzle & Cadence

video upload by Tom Churchill

"In this video I’m checking out three modules from Nekyia Circuits. Muzzle is a vactrol-based filter; Mezcal is a compact multi-utility that includes a mult, rectifier, mixer and comparator; and Cadence is a triple decay envelope generator. Between them they provide lots of really useful analogue tools for a modular synth setup, and they all have some interesting twists.

I build a few patches that not only show what these modules can do but also provide some more general patching tips and tricks for modular synths. Hopefully they’ll give you some ideas for things to try with your own setup if you have modules that can do similar things."

"Intellijel Cascadia 🤝 Elektron Digitakt

In this video, Matt walks through assembling a electronic drum kit, only using samples from Cascadia. It's an exceptional drum synthesizer voice, with plenty of sound sources & utilities which make it perfect for crafting Kicks, Snares and other percussive sounds. For this demo, we teamed up Cascadia with the Elektron Digitakt - a sampler & sequencer. However, this process is totally repeatable with other sampler hardware or software - whichever you prefer!"

Two Sequencers and a Gate Math Walk Into a Bar... | Modular Synthesizer Tutorial

video upload by synthesizersdotcom

"In modular synthesizers, sequencers and gate math modules work together to create intricate and dynamic musical patterns. Sequencers generate a series of control voltages and gate signals that dictate the pitch, timing, and duration of notes. These signals can then be sent to oscillators, filters, and other sound-modifying modules. Gate math modules, on the other hand, manipulate these gate signals, enabling complex rhythmic patterns through functions like multiplication, division, logic operations, and more. By combining the precise control of sequencers with the rhythmic flexibility of gate math modules, musicians can craft highly dynamic and evolving soundscapes that are both rhythmically and melodically rich.

Join Giulio in our in-depth video to understand:

The Uncompromising Sound and Philosophy of the LEP Lumanoise Series

https://www.leploop.org/

"One of the things that gripped me at Superbooth was the LEPLumanoise series of instruments. They seemed to possess that arcane electronic magic that interests me these days. So, I got in touch with LEP and they kindly agreed to send me across some of the instruments in the series to make a video about, namely: the Lumanoise v4, the Monocassa and the Lumamix resonant mixer.

In this video we’re going to get to know them individually and in concert with each other and other instruments, explaining the features and exploring their sounds.

Transparency Notice: LEP prvided the units shown in this video for free, but I have not otherwise been paid to make this video and they have had no oversight into the video's content.
