Mandrake - Kick Drum Synthesizer by Malstrom

video upload by MATTHS

"A kick drum lays down the foundation of your track, the root of your beat. You need the low end to create a pumping motion and the high end to cut through the mix. All this while maintaining spectral room for other sounds. So it can be quite an undertaking to get right.

Which is why we developed Mandrake. A kick drum synthesizer that targets kick drum sounds for Dance, House and Techno music. Inspired by physical models, DAW drum synthesis and sound mixing techniques. It divides the sound into a 'Hit' and 'Body', with sound shaping possibilities for both sections.

Mandrake is not another 808 or 909 clone; its analog circuitry is entirely built from scratch to create an original sound. Also nothing more than a great kick; ranges to get into detail, and useful kick drum sounds throughout its settings!

FEATURES
'Hit' and 'Body' sections to sculpt the most important parts of a kick drum.
Hit-timbre and Hit-volume controls to shape sound of the transient.
Body saturation, resonance, decay and damping controls provide a varied sound palette.
Clear pitch control section that is carefully scaled to match a kick drum.
Two VCA shapes that provide different flavours.
Ducking or normal Envelope output to further sculpt and modulate.
Accent or VCA CV input switch to match your sequencing method.
Clean-up switch to remove rumble and decrease 'boxiness'."

How to make a modular polysynth in 62HP: Suggested Systems 8

video upload by mylarmelodies

"In this tutorial/demo I'm going to patch a tiny but 'true' 4 voice modular polysynth step-by-step from scratch, tune it, make it stereo, animate and pan it to bring it to life. I'll also show how to do a paraphonic modular patch (two ways!) and create a bonus Polymoog-style resonator to finish. This one features Vostok Modules who sponsored this video and sent gear I could use! I wanted to see if I could squeeze a 'true' modular polysynth into the Intellijel Palette 62HP case. Turns out, you can."

8 patch ideas for 8-step sequencers feat. Glasgow Synth Guild Oct Tone

video upload by Tom Churchill

"Two and a half years ago I made a video about 8-step sequencer techniques which ended up being one of the most popular things on my channel. So when the Glasgow Synth Guild asked if I fancied making a video about their Oct Tone sequencer, I thought it would be a good opportunity to revisit the topic with 8 more patch ideas.

A lot of the things I’m going to show you can be applied to any 8-step sequencer, so you’ll hopefully get some ideas for things to try no matter what you’re using."

Muse | Mod Oscillator

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video, we explore the Modulation Oscillator of Moog Muse.

Follow along as we provide practical applications of the oscillator as a per-voice modulation source, as well as a third audio-rate oscillator. Modulate the pitch of oscillators 1 and 2 independently, the cutoff of filters 1 and 2 independently, the pulse width of oscillators 1 and 2 when assigned to pulse on the wave mix, or the pan position of a voice, independent of any other modulation sources on Muse!"

THE DIVKID DROID MODULATION HUB! // A Der Mann Mit Der Maschine DROID patch that's saving me HP!

video upload by DivKid

"DOWNLOAD THE PATCH & GUIDE (FOR FREE) HERE // https://divkid.gumroad.com/l/TheDivKi...

Hello and welcome to this video on the absolutely mega DIVKID DROID MODULATION HUB! It's a 'patch'* made by DROID power user effiksmusic (fantastic work from him) that turns a DROID master and P2B8 controller into a super mega uber hub of modulation with 4 envelopes, 2 random generators and 2 LFOs each with some really clever and smart twists and chained functions to elevate them further.

The goal of getting into the DROID system for me was a mission to save HP, saving those precious HPs (space in the modular system) by combining lots of common functions that I use all the time, while also adding flexible additional features to them that would otherwise take more modules and more HP. This distills these modulators down into a simple interface that just provides the controls I need (and you might need too) to make the most of all of this modulation.

It also does that lovely thing of encouraging you to try some new things as the extra functions on each modulation type are right here built into the DROID patch only a knob turn or button hold away. See the timing index below to see what makes this special and of course, watch the video ... but you're doing that anyway if you're reading this aren't you?

*'Patch' is the term Der Mann Mit Der Maschine use for how these modules are set up. Creating them in their editor is similar to patching, but you can think of it as the firmware (it's not the firmware) or modes that you load onto the module (simple drag and drop onto a microSD) to define what all the inputs, outputs and controls are doing."

Prophet X - Overwrite factory memory | Sysex patch edit tutorial

video upload by Espen Kraft

"If you receive a bunch of patches (both individual files or whole banks) for your Prophet X, you might not want to have these saved at the same locations they come in.
If you receive a patch that was saved in Bank U2 Patch 90, this will go into THAT memory location on your Prophet X as well, when you transfer it. Unfortunately you can't put it in another memory location when you transfer it. You can of course save it to some place else after you've transferred it to Patch 90 (this example), but only to the 4 different U-banks.
UNLESS.... you edit the sysex file itself before transferring it to your own PX. By doing so you can set it to go exactly where you want. You can even overwrite the factory patches if you want. All banks and patches U1-U4, F1-F4 and A1-A4 can be overwritten in the sysex transfer.

I'm fully aware there exists several library apps and software for the Prophet X that will help you do this. These costs money. My method is totally free.

In this video I'm using a free binary decoder called HdX to load, inspect, edit and save a sysex file. I'm using Bome SendSX to transfer the edited sysex file from my computer to my PX.
Both these programs are free.
You can certainly edit the sysex file from within the transfer program itself as well."

Hit [UP] + [DOWN], both keys LED should be on indicating that you enabled Mod Note mode. The 8 bottom [NOTE] keys each represent a timbre, and you can assign them into the Sequencer to play your specific receorder Parameters/Sound"
