Big beat semi modular grungy groove | Double Knot, PO-33, Etherealizer

"Lorre Mill Double Knot V3
Pocket Operator PO-33 KO!
Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer
This was supposed to be an ambient, gentle random sequence combined with quiet beats. But it turned into this within minutes.
First time syncing the PO-33 to anything and it worked perfectly. Quickly created a beat then tweaked the Etherealizer to dial in the granular and delay effects for the Double Knot."

Rescaling the ContinuuMini Surface using PTE (10.6x or later firmware required)
video upload by EaganMatrix Programming
"One way to use the Pitch Table Editor (must be running 10.09 or 10.6x firmware or later) to rescale the Continuum/ContinuuMini surface to play a limited pitch set (Heptatonic scale here) when quantized or when Initial Rounding is on. 10.52 does not support PTE due to a firmware issue solved in 10.6x."
Turning the Otamatone into a Trautonium
video upload by Sound Workshop
"In this video we look at the early history of #expressive synthesizers, and why #Trautonium is my favorite design. Then we make a #synthdiy Trautonium using an #otamatone as the oscillator. I also share a change in priority for Sound Workshop."

Parapulse – Morphing Noise Generator for Eurorack Modular by Orpho
video upload by HOX808
"Parapulse is a Eurorack noise generator with an integrated filter and frequency modulation. From crisp white noise to warm pink noise, it opens up a wide range of textures, atmospheric layers, and organic impulses.
From icy fog and cosmic dust to Geiger counter clicks, paranormal intergalactic tones, and fine vinyl crackle, *Parapulse* puts noise in motion.
In this demo video, Parapulse is used together with the Bode Frequency Shifter for sound manipulation. CV control is also provided by the [Orpho Voltglider (https://www.orpho.de/voltglider/) and a CV joystick.
More information at [www.orpho.de](https://www.orpho.de)"
Googlish (original German below):
The Parapulse Noise Generator—equipped with an integrated filter, frequency modulation, and the ability to transition seamlessly from white to pink noise—offers a rich palette of soundscapes for experimental musicians and sound designers. The module provides a wide variety of noise types, ranging from crisp, high-frequency white noise to soft, deep pink noise, making it ideal for generating atmospheric textures or serving as a foundation for percussive elements and effects. The built-in filter allows users to precisely shape the frequency content of the noise, enabling the creation of both subtle timbres and dramatic effects. Frequency modulation further expands the sonic spectrum by facilitating dynamic shifts and modulations within the noise, resulting in complex sonic textures. The seamless adjustment between noise colors—free of audible steps or interruptions—offers a unique level of flexibility and control that would not be possible with a conventional white noise generator.
Original German:
Der Parapulse Noise-Generator, ausgestattet mit einem integrierten Filter, Frequenzmodulation und der Möglichkeit, nahtlos von weißem zu rosa Rauschen zu wechseln, bietet eine reiche Palette an Soundlandschaften für experimentelle Musiker und Sounddesigner. Das Modul bietet eine Vielzahl von Rauscharten, von klarem, hochfrequentem weißem Rauschen bis hin zu weichem, tiefem rosa Rauschen, ideal für die Erzeugung atmosphärischer Texturen oder als Grundlage für perkussive Elemente und Effekte. Das eingebaute Filter ermöglicht es dem Benutzer, die Frequenzanteile des Rauschens präzise zu formen, um sowohl subtile Klangfarben als auch dramatische Effekte zu erzielen. Die Frequenzmodulation erweitert das klangliche Spektrum zusätzlich, indem sie dynamische Veränderungen und Modulationen im Rauschen ermöglicht, was zu komplexen Klangtexturen führt. Die nahtlose Einstellung zwischen den Rauschfarben ohne hörbare Schritte oder Unterbrechungen bietet eine einzigartige Flexibilität und Kontrolle, was mit einem herkömmlichen White-Noise-Generator so nicht möglich wäre.

The Crow Hill Company Introduces the THE SH*T SYNTH
The Sh*t Synth - Walkthrough video upload by CROW HILL XTRAS
Press release follows:
The Crow Hill Company turns to extensive and rare collection to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH as compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments
EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to turn to its own extensive and rare collection of hardware to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH — available as a compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments inspired by some of the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s eclectic musical favourites (spanning the likes of Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Joe Maus, Jon Brion, Laurie Spiegel, Radiohead, Throbbing Gristle, and Yazoo) to create something that they collectively ask: is it just shit or ‘the shit’? — as of April 7…
Whatever way anyone chooses to read into the titling of THE SH*T SYNTH as the latest entry into The Crow Hill’s ongoing ORIGINS series of sample-based virtual instrument plug-ins, one thing is for sure: it readily represents a broad selection of three categories of 16 workhorse instruments each, effectively wrapped up into a single plug-in designed to bring a cohesive approach to making music more edgy, lo-fi, retro, and — swimming against the technological tide of so-called progress — decidedly AI (Artificial Intelligence) slop-free. From pianos to strings, plucks, beeps, bass, and pads, the compendium that is THE SH*T SYNTH has been lovingly sculpted by the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s media composer and ‘samplist-in-residence’ Christian Henson to take the hassle out of making existing sounds less refined, catering to those looking for an entirely new bank of Mellotron-style sounds as well as synths that have been long forgotten — for good reason, too!

Getting Started: Patching with Mults in Eurorack
video upload by Noise Engineering
"When patching your modular system, it’s common to want one signal to control multiple things. Mults, short for multiples, simply split one signal into several copies.
As part of our Getting Started series, here's our blog that goes over the types of mults and how they can bring a patch to life:

'SIEGFRIED' | VC RES EQ + VBR | Serge Modular | Episode 11
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"The VC RES EQ is big, very big and the VBR (Variable Bandwidth Filter) makes it even bigger. But even then, it's not a combo that would appeal to the 'mainstream' eurorack audience. The 4U version joins both modules under one panel and is called 'SIEGFRIED', inspired by Wagner's dragonslayer in the classic Ring des Nibelungen epic 15 hour opera which ends in Ragnarok - the Apocalyptic end of the Gods. Now that's a much better setting! We need mist, heroes, dragons, Gods and something close to Mount Doom. Tolkien didn't like Wagner's work at all, in fact, he hated it. With this eurorack combo you can now create your own adventure, keep the ring for yourself and throw Frodo into Mount Doom.
This is one of my favorite videos so far and I just LOVE the sound of the VC RES EQ. The VBR is added to tame the harsh sounds that often come from the 'pet dragon', but if you play it with your fingertips, prepare for myths and legends.
As always, this video is not sponsored, but I am enjoying a small 'artist discount' from Random*Source because I make videos like this. Dear Serge, if you're watching this, THANK YOU for being Serge and thank you Random*Source for keeping the legend vibrant, alive and kicking."
