Synthesizers for Dummies (if you're wondering what a synth is, then this video is for you)

video upload by Espen Kraft

"Synthesizers for dummies. In this beginners tutorial I will teach you the basics and in less than 22 minutes you're on your way to becoming a synth master. Even your mother will understand this.
This video has been requested for years, and it's finally here.
THIS video is for you that knows NOTHING about synthesizers, but you've heard of them. You've seen them, and you want to know how they work. Maybe you're to shy to ask questions. This video is for you.
When you master the basics of a synth you can pretty much use all synths.
In this video I show what is known as subtractive synthesis.

The synth I'm using in this video is a Roland Juno-106 from the mid 80s. You can also get this as a computer program and use it directly from the computer, hooked up to a master MIDI keyboard.

The end music uses only synth sounds from this particular synthesizer. The drums are not from the synth though.

Synthesizer Tutorial for Beginners // Synth Programming 101

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Follow this on any synthesizer. Whether you're got VSTs, hardware, vintage or modern, synths covered in knobs or menu based programming.. this will show you how to tweak your tones or start from scratch. Over 99% of synthesisers use the same fundamental building blocks and the secret to programming synths is that they're all pretty much the same. Learn the basics and everything else falls into place.

In this I demo the classic synth architecture, called subtractive synthesis, which has just 4 essential modules. Oscillators, Filters, Envelopes and LFOs - you can produce loads of tones without even and LFO... but I kept it in as you see them on pretty much everything.

I use a Juno 60 to start as its got everything clearly laid out in a knob per function so you cant go wrong. I also show bits of increasing complexity on a Moog Minimoog, a Roland Jupiter 4, an UDO Super6 and some menu diving on a Roland Juno DS.

If you watch this from start to finish you'll have all the basics you need to pick up any synths and get programming."

Erica Synths Nightverb just HITS on all marks.

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"The Erica Synths Nightverb is a standout reverb effects unit, balancing playability, flexibility, and sound design, even if it sacrifices a bit on size. Much like the Zen Delay, Erica Synths clearly prioritized playability in this design. The Nightverb's controls keep you in the sweet spot, allowing you to explore everything from massive off-earth cathedral reverb to intimate club backroom vibes.
Whether you're performing live or experimenting in the studio, this is a reverb unit that is top of mind when I need a playable effect when performing live"

EP 1 - New 2500 Modules - AM1004P Oscillator Mixer

video upload by O.Z. Hall

"This video is the first in a series on a number of new modules from Amsynths which are companions to the Behringer ARP 2500 series of eurorack modules.

Besides introducing the series, this video explores the AM1004P expander from Amsynths for the Behringer 1004 VCO in the 2500 series.

Here are excerpts from Amsynths description of this module:

The AM1004P module enables the Behringer 1004 module to be transformed from a T (toggle) version into a P (potentiometer version).

The AM1004P module has individual outputs available on jack sockets. Each waveform can also be mixed, using five small trimmer potentiometers, into the output channel, which has an overall MIX LEVEL potentiometer. and two mix jack socket outputs.

The AMSynths AM1004P fills in a piece of history by recreating the original ARP design using a Behringer 1004 module as a basis for expansion.

"Meet Trace! The latest DivKid module this time made in collaboration with Vostok Instruments. Trace is a 4HP, all analogue, interpolating/morphing scanner. It takes 4 inputs, morphs through them and outputs that scanned signal. It works with audio and/or CV inputs and the scan CV input takes CV or audio rate scanning too.

QMMG vs 292T vs Sosumi vs Centaur's Gate

video upload by Stazma

"Ok so after talking making the "favorite sounds of the QMMG" video I had some requests about making a shootout between it and the 292t from Tiptop Audio & Buchla.

I decided to indulge AND to add two other recent lpgs to the table with the Sosumi by Nekya Circuits, a small 4hp, knobless, dual LPG inspired by the original Buchla 292; and the Centaur's Gate by Shakmat, that does MUCH more (multi mode filters / VCA, with preset recall) than all others but does have an internal analog vactrol emulation that I wanted to check out alongside the others."

Modulation 'Masterclass'

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"First of all, I put 'masterclass' between quotes because I am not a master. I can call myself an 'expert' after +10.000 hours of patching but that's no guarantee for good information. However, you wouldn't be interested in watching modulation basics either. So my 'masterclasses' are more like sitting around the campfire, telling ghost stories, and we're all equal.

I've been inspired by a subscriber, who pointed to his beloved Rossum Trident/Triton as his/her/their favorite VCO. I looked it up, decided there's too much overlap with my THREE-BODY VCO, but noticed something interesting called 'Zing modulation'. It's a recipe based on ring modulation, with the simple trick of syncing the carrier and modulator. Dave wrote he may have been the first person who ever used the term 'hard-sync', but credited the technology to Serge Tcherepnin. Suddenly I was lost and inspired in a new world of modulation I did not know about. Since it's a recipe instead of a circuit, we can all use it as long as your VCO has a Sync input, and you have a ringmod in your case. If you don't, get one. It's an essential piece and it costs nothing.

I can't explain Zing modulation (ZM) without Ring modulation (RM) without thru-zero amplitude modulation (AM) and when the bloody TZ comes along I am aways reminded that I am still clueless about thru-zero FM. I've seen good, bad and no explanations about TZFM. I know it preserves pitch, it's been restricted to digital - but now it's also possible with analog - and it needs to be supported by the VCO. You can't seem to patch it up, the VCO should do it. I have a problem with things that can't be done. It's not that I am stubborn, an important aspect of creativitiy is to never give up. And to be confident you'll figure it out eventually. Thanks to Dave Rossum's recipe, I wondered if I could ringmod my modulator VCO before it goes to my principal VCO's LIN-FM. It can't possibly be amplitude modulation anymore.
I experimented with ring-modulating the modulator with an inverted version of itself, so it would flip polarity and go thru-zero. I don't know if this qualifies as true thru-zero so I call it WTFM.

Anyway, this video can keep you busy for weeks. Happy Patching!
Robert.
