ORIGAMI + UNDULA DRONE

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"During Synthfest 2026, I gave a presentation of my latest modules, then an improvisation.
The video is already online here: [embed below]

And I take this opportunity to thank the wonderful team of @SynthFestFrance once again !

Of course, I am not happy with my performance. But how could it be otherwise: thinking demo and then music, anyway...
But in the end, upon re-listening, it's not so catastrophic.

Here is another attempt, not necessarily better by the way, but which also features the latest version of the ORIGAMI prototype, and the MACRO modules.
The patch is almost identical, with the ORIGAMI entering in stereo into the UNDULA, serving here as a filter.
The result is a drone evolving very gradually. Sub to noise.
No added FX, and barely any processing for the YouTube upload. Listenable on headphones for the stereo and the sub-bass ;)

Special thanks to the airplane that made repeated flyovers above me at the beginning of the recording !"

Ambient with Randomized Samples and Synth Pads | Sinking Stone 2026-04-28 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An ambient piece created with Ambient Engine ( https://store.atnr.net/ambient-engine... ) and the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10.

Ambient Engine loads samples of ice sounds and human voices and plays them while randomly changing the playback position. The MicroLoop effect is also applied.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed with reverb through the Strymon blueSky.

On the ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel, the bass is played using a modulated sound processed with reverb and filtering through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY."

Introducing the Body Synths Laboratory

video upload by Body Synths



"The Body Synths Laboratory is a dual-channel effects processor and feedback synthesizer.

Four feedback paths sit at the core of the Laboratory. Route signals, control delay repeats, or add gritty textures. Push them far enough, and the system enters self-oscillation—even with no input. From there, every control reshapes the feedback into anything from subtle drones to harsh noise madness.

Each channel features three voltage-controlled effects: gain, delay, and filter. Run the channels in series or in parallel. Push signals from silence to amplification with the Gain control. Drive the Delay into dirty territory at longer times—we’ve used that famous karaoke machine delay chip. Combine both channels to create multi-tap or ping-pong echoes.

The Resonant Filter provides Low-Pass and High-Pass modes. Chain the two channels in series to create Band-Pass responses. A final clipping stage at the end of each channel adds compression and distortion when driven to extremes.

We’ve also included a global Modulator that can operate as either an Envelope or an LFO, with two positive and two negative CV outputs. Patch them to build effects like tremolo, vibrato, chorus, moving stereo filter sweeps, modulated delays—it can get pretty wild.

The Body Synths Laboratory is being developed in collaboration with Andrey from the Berlin-based pedal company akkusativ.

Getting Started: Patching with Gates and Triggers in Eurorack

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Gates and triggers are some of the most common signals you’ll patch. Both are binary signals, meaning they’re either off or on. Off is 0 volts, and on is usually somewhere around 5 to 10 volts.

So, what’s the difference?

A gate stays high for a certain amount of time. The length of the gate is part of the signal. Sequencers commonly output gates, letting you control how long each note lasts.

A trigger is basically a very short gate. It’s just a quick pulse, usually only a few milliseconds long. Triggers are often used to start events, like setting the tempo for drum modules, firing envelopes, or advancing sequencers. Clock signals are usually triggers as well. Each pulse moves something forward in time, like advancing a sequencer or firing rhythmic events.

In many cases, you can use a gate as a trigger, since modules often only care about the moment the signal goes from low to high. But using a trigger where a gate is expected doesn’t always work the same way, since triggers are so short.

Gates and triggers might be simple signals, but they’re essential for controlling rhythm, timing, and events across your entire patch.

As part of our Getting Started series, here's our blog that covers gates and triggers even more:
