Looking Outside: Synthesizer and Eurorack Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"Three tracks created by using standalone synthesizers and eurorack modules. Sequenced from the Squarp Hermod+, I thought about recording everything simultaneously, but I decided to record it in groups to allow for more hands on manipulation of the equipment.

For drums, samples were loaded into the 1010music 'Bitbox Micro' with the following modules also used for processing the summed samples: Make Noise 'QPAS', Xaoc 'Koszalin', Qu Bit 'Mojave' and 'Nautilus', Erica Synths 'Blackhole DSP 2', Qu Bit 'Data Bender' (triggered/modulated using the Make Noise '0-CTRL'), and Noise Engineering 'Librae Legio'.

For synthesizers, the following hardware was used: Sonicware 'Evoke', Korg 'Arp 2600m' and 'Minilogue XD', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', Novation 'Peak' and 'Circuit Mono Station'.

Forward Momentum 0:00
Revival 3:59
Through the Window 8:20

Novation Summit Demo custom patches

Even if Novation Peak / Summit is far away from sequentials flexible mod matrix I honestly think they do sound very good when being programmed with a nice touch! :)"

This Peak Patch is ALL Random

video upload by Saß

"Welcome to Crazy Random Patch Episode 2!
Ever feel stuck with an idea? Just twist all the knobs and press all the buttons!

In this episode, I made a patch on my Novation Peak, aptly titled "Robo Factory," reminiscent of what you might hear in a robotic car factory from a cyberpunk future, or maybe some weird magical mechanical beast from some dark fantasy dungeon (like the kind from RPGs where its fantasy but they have guns lol). Then, I made a very small beat featuring it to show that it can be used musically! I really hope you enjoy this kind of content, so please let me know if you do or don't! See you in the next video!

Digitone 2 + Launch Control XL 3: One System for EVERY Jam

video upload by Sineway

"Learn how to connect the Digitone 2 with the Novation Launch Control XL 3 for a consistent synth workflow that works across all your live performances.

🎛 What you’ll see:
My 8 column layout for drums, bass, leads, and more
How I map faders to mod wheel macros and encoders to breath control
Why one fader for all drums (mapped across multiple tracks) is often enough
Extra spice: direct MIDI CC mappings for reverb decay + delay feedback
How to configure the Launch Control XL 3 in Novation Components
How to assign MIDI channels on Digitone 2 for a stress-free synth workflow
Why this system also works with Digitakt 2, Syntakt, Digitone and even other synths like Peak or MiniFreak

💡 I still have unused encoders — what would you map them to? Let me know in the comments.

The software used to configure the Launch Control XL 3 is called Components and can be downloaded from here: https://novationmusic.com/components"

Acperience 1/Hardfloor (Circuit Tracks & Roland T-8 version)

video upload by Guinan

"1992's 'Acperience 1' by the German duo Hardfloor is almost peak 303 acid house. I've used the Novation Circuit Tracks with the ‪@IsotonikStudios‬ soundpack RB 303 by Yves Big City ‪@bigcitymastering‬ to emulate 2 of the 3 TB-303s used. The final pattern comes from the Roland T-8 drum machines emulation synced with the Tracks and feeding into the audio in..

The high string synth note was created on the Tracks and sampled so it could be played back on a drum pad.

Everything you hear was programmed and played live on these two machines and the mixed audio was recorded straight from the Tracks output."
