X1L3 - ALLEYKAT - DEV - NINE LIVES - NO REGRETS - module test build - swinsid - eurorack module
video upload by X1L3
The ALLEYKAT gets a front panel.
"First and flawed test build of the Alleykat module.
Nine lives - no regrets......
Completed the next schematic revision today ready for submission to fab. In doing so i ended up spending an hour on this flawed test piece knocking this up for a bit of fun.
When you consider how good it sounds (in a c64 kind of way) in it's current state, it becomes quite obvious how cool it will be when the filter is online and all the parameters are active. The test boards had numerous errors on them which have rendered the ring/sync and octave hopping inactive. The filter cutoff and resonance were also mis-routed in the schematic which rendered the filter unusable.
Swinsid in circuit this time. Does a decent enough job, but i've yet to see how it performs in comparison to a real SID or a superior clone when the ring/sync and filter come into play. The only difference i hear using just the waveforms and pwm compared to the usual 8580 i use for testing is that the swinsid doesn't sound as bright.
With a bit of luck i've fixed everything that was wrong with the first attempt and the next revision will work properly."

Sounds from Superbooth 2026: Meng Qi Wing Pinger 2.0
video upload by Perfect Circuit
Meng Qi at Perfect Circuit
via Perfect Circuit
"Meng Qi's Wing Pinger 2.0 is a handheld update to their beloved stereo resonant filter instrument, this time with a complete overhaul, but still based around a pair of analog filters. These self-oscillating analog filters with cross-feedback are capable of producing plucked tones, chordal motion, unstable rhythms, and full-on chaotic textures all from the same unstable circuit. Now centered around a robust screen, version 2.0 adds a powerful onboard Strudel-inspired scripting system for composing sequences, modulating parameters, and letting blocks influence each other over time. The Wing Pinger 2.0 is a huge change in the interface, enabling diverse and new creative pathways, remaining centered around the essence of this sought-after instrument: a pair of beautifully resonant analog filters.
Wing Pinger 2.0 Features
Handheld stereo resonant filter instrument
Dual analog filters
Screen interface for parameter control
Onboard scripting language for easy programming
Scriptable feedback system
Production model features milled aluminum enclosure"

Looks like a little handheld radio / walkman with that volume control!

BOARDS OF CANADA - Sundown (Synth Cover - Sequential Prophet REV2)
video upload by nicola neeco
"This is my cover of Sundown by Boards of Canada, from Tomorrow’s Harvest (Warp Records, 2013).
This piece has always felt deeply emotional to me. Before studying it, I assumed it would be quite complex, but it turns out the core idea is surprisingly simple and elegant.
The key lies in the tuning of the oscillators: setting them in a perfect fifth interval (for example, Osc 1: C, Osc 2: G) creates that characteristic BOC sound.
For the sound design, I started from a patch I originally built for Corsair. The two tracks share a similar foundation, especially in how the dual oscillators interact through that fifth interval tuning.
The patch is played on the Sequential Prophet Rev2, with (a lot of) Valhalla VintageVerb and Delay"
Baloran The 3FX demo. Fantastic chorus with Roland RS202 string machine.
video upload by Pulsophonic
"Baloran The 3FX demo 1.
Roland RS202 through Baloran The3FX, the incredible new chorus which replaces and surpasses The Triko which was already a reference.
Recorded through a Machie 8BUS and a Focusrite Scarlett. No other effects used."

MIDIPan : Introduction of 'basic audio' option and comparison with 'fluidsynth audio' option
video upload by MIDI IN
"Until now, audio on the MIDIPan has relied on a component which is expensive and has become increasingly difficult to obtain. Therefore I've had to develop an alternative and more sustainable way to provide the MIDIPan with audio. This video is for you if you need to know more about the new 'basic audio' option and hear how it performs.
