Why doesn't Digital Feedback Blow Up Like Analog?

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"When I posted my first Plexiphon video, I got a few comments like ‘how about Bruxa x Plexiphon’, or better, ‘how about two Bruxae x Plexiphon’.
I think I can answer that now. Bruxa is a dominating module. This simply means, whatever you patch up, Bruxa is going to demand all attention. New to modular? Bruxa is a Bruxa is a delay/filter using a crappy karaoke toy chip. Sorry, it’s the ‘lo-fi delay’ that reached a cult status in the legendary Soma Lyra-8 Orga(ni)smic Synthesizer.
And then there’s the PoliMaths vs Maths discussion. Maybe they should have called it the PolyFunction, because it’s not Maths. It’s more like a ‘polyphonic function sequencer’, where a function is nothing more than a rise and fall. A slope or envelope depending on the Coast you’re on. It’s an attack/decay shape to sculpt a sound.
In this patch, I am using Echophon – the echo – as a clock, using the clock divider output. It’s a cool example of working with limitations. There’s no clock module in this case, but any ‘repeat’ that ticks is a clock. So today it’s not a tape delay, it’s just sending blips to PoliMaths’ activation IN. PoliMaths is like an eight channel sample and hold. When a trigger comes in, the module ‘activates’ by reading all knob positions (sampling) and holding them until the next activation. The channel index will decide which of the eight channels is affected. Depending on the SPAN mode/color, the channel will either be addressable (white), rotating (yellow) or fire all (cyan blue). If you’ve updated your PM, there’s a purple mode too (binary logic).
In this patch, the eight envelopes are distributed to various effect modules like Bruxa, more Bruxa and Plexiphon. Depending on knob settings (and especially ABSORB) Bruxa can make percussive sounds with its crappy chip. So what can we do with it? We can make a drum machine that nobody else has.
The patch itself is turning my effects units into an improvised lo-fi CMOS drum machine and Plexiphon is adding a bit of reverb. Even on full strength it can’t compete with the two Bruxae.
There’s an intermezzo where I’ll patch a long loop between Echophon, Mimeophon, Bruxa 1, Bruxa 2, Plexiphon and QPAS. In plain English, it’s making a long FX chain, but the end of chain is also the beginning. A snake biting its own tail. It’s like taking ugly feedback noise, and then try to sculpt it into something that faintly sounds like music – or a score from an 80’s horror sci-fi B movie with lots of sax and violins.
I was expecting something like throwing a mentos in a bottle of Coca Cola, but it didn’t happen. Instead, a nice abstract feedback patch emerged. It turned out to be pretty civilized.
In this video I discovered that feedback patching with digital modules is very different from using analog modules. A well designed digital effect doesn’t explode, it stays clear from crashing into digital brick wall and self destruct. In fact, digital feedback patching is more like continuous sound on sound dubbing. If you’re into chaotic feedback patching, you’ll benefit from adding at least one analog module, like a Serge wavefolder, waveshaper, filter or resonant EQ – or any other brand. Just make sure it’s using real analog components and real voltage instead of coded error handlers, limiters, exceptions and guardrails. In the analog domain, chaos is only bound to the rules of Mother Nature.
The ‘crappy drum machine’ patch is decorated by a second take with Error Instruments x This Is Not Rocketscience Kharper. I am running it through dual Bruxae and Plexiphon, where the PP gets modulation from Bruxa’s mysteriously labeled CV outputs. They basically contain CV related to Bruxa’s internal chip rumble. Nothing special, but super cool as a mod-source."

AnalogFX Announces Availability of Limited-Run LARYNX

AnalogFX's LARYNX has arrived. You might remember the announcment post, and SUPERBOOTH demos here, and here. You can find additional AnalogFX posts here. And of course AnalogFX's official website here.

Press release follows:

AnalogFX announces availability of limited-run LARYNX, an expressive analogue formant synthesizer inspired by the seldom-seen Synton Syrinx

DEVENTER, THE NETHERLANDS: AnalogFX, a Dutch synthesizer manufacturer dedicated to creating expressive electronic instruments for musicians, producers, sound designers, and synthesizer enthusiasts, is pleased to announce availability of LARYNX — proudly presented as a performance-focused analogue synthesizer that combines the vocal character of classic formant synthesis with modern expressive control, Eurorack integration, hands-on playability, and an affectionate analogue nod towards a rare, highly-coveted 1982-vintage monophonic synthesizer built by fellow (defunct) Dutch company Synton — with its first production run limited to 50 units, as of October 1…

By being built upon the proven architecture of AnalogFX’s acclaimed SER-2020, its compact desktop synthesizer inspired by the rare Synton Syrinx, LARYNX evolves that concept into a performance-focused keyboard instrument. Thanks to its premium 37-key aftertouch keyboard, extensive real-time modulation capabilities, and unique triple-filter formant architecture, LARYNX duly delivers an organic and highly-expressive playing experience.

Ultimately — unlike many modern synthesizers that rely on presets and menu-driven workflows, LARYNX puts sound shaping directly under a musician’s fingertips. From subtle pressure-sensitive modulation to aggressive vocal-like filter sweeps, every aspect of the instrument in question has been designed to create a direct connection between performer and sound.

Beating beautifully at the heart of LARYNX’s performance-focused sound are two CEM3340-based voltage-controlled oscillators — VCO 1 and VCO 2; a sub oscillator — SUB 1; a ring modulator — RM; a NOISE generator; and a unique triple CEM3350-based filter architecture — PEAK 1, PEAK 2, and LPF (Low Pass Filter). All combine to enable a wide sonic range — from deep analogue basses and cutting leads to evolving textures and speech-like timbres rarely found in traditional subtractive synthesizers.

Above and beyond that, this latest evolution of the SER-2020 platform introduces Formant MODE, making 16 preprogrammed human voice formants immediately available. As such, musicians can quickly create vocal-inspired sounds, animated basses, and expressive textures — and all without requiring complex programming. It is appropriate to note here that LARYNX also features a digital five-voice oscillator Chord MODE, although analogue monophonic and duophonic operation is always possible.

Placing expression at the core of its design, LARYNX’s 37-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with channel aftertouch is paired with AnalogFX’s Touch’n’Bend controller, allowing performers to shape sound naturally. Needless to say, LARYNX has additional performance features up its sleeve, so to speak, including extensive realtime modulation throughout its VCO, VCF, and VCA architecture; MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support; a built-in arpeggiator (ARP); a 16-step pattern sequencer (SEQ) — designed for both studio and live use, permitting performers to store patterns and instantly recall variations during a performance; 16 pattern memories; eight scenes, with 16 slots each; and stereo delay effect — DELAY L and DELAY R.

Ready for the modular world, LARYNX is designed to seamlessly integrate into modern electronic music setups with multiple front panel-positioned CV (control voltage) inputs and outputs providing extensive Eurorack connectivity, while flexible routing options allow the synthesizer to function both as a powerful standalone instrument and an expressive modular voice. Arriving at the rear panel, further connectivity conveniently comprises MIDI IN/OUT — standard MIDI DIN-5; USB MIDI — standard USB type B; EXPRESSION/SUSTAIN/HOLD pedal input; stereo line OUTPUT; and HEADPHONE output.

On the face of it, then, LARYNX lives up to its Inspired by a Rare Voice and A voice you can play tag lines with the greatest of ease. Enter AnalogFX Founder and Lead Developer Marc Stroobach, someone suitably qualified to end promotional proceedings on a high note: “With LARYNX, we wanted to create an instrument that feels alive under your hands. It’s inspired by some of the most expressive synthesizers ever made, but designed for today’s musicians who want immediate control, deep sound shaping, and a genuine connection between performance and sound. Every AnalogFX instrument starts from a passion for music and a belief that synthesizers should inspire creativity, not get in the way of it.”

Being built in limited batches in The Netherlands, the first production run of LARYNX — limited to 50 units — is now available for purchase directly from AnalogFX’s online Shop (https://www.analogfx.com/shop/) and select specialist retailers worldwide (https://www.analogfx.com/about/where-to-buy/) at a SRP (Suggested Retail Price) of €1,249.00 EUR (inc. 19% VAT).

Technos Acxel VST3 from DenverSynthLabs

video upload by manmade madman

"I always lusted after a Technos Acxel from 1984, but they didn't really exist. There were only about 4 ever made and those barely made it into public view. But there were pictures of them, and I had my imagination. So, 30 years later, I made it myself, and then I made it better.

Now available at: store.denversynth.com"

"AXCEL

Every partial, hand-drawn.
Modeled after the Technos Acxel — a Quebec-built additive synthesizer from 1986-1992, with somewhere between 30 and 40 units ever made. Two engine slots share one wave bank, one Grapher, and one mod bus: Slot A is the Acxel's additive and sinusoidal resynthesis engine, Slot B is a wavetable machine, and you can run either or both at once.

Semiotic Sequencer – Online Text Based Sequencer

video upload by Mute State

Note the above video is from January 10, 2025. It reminds me of Textquencer which made its first appearance on the site back in 2022. Sequences from Semiotic Sequencer can be exported as a MIDI file.

"The Semiotic Sequencer: Merging Music and Meaning:
https://www.mutestate.com/itu/seq_og_... [link to online version. BTW, "sequence this" makes for a good sequence - just paste it in multiple times. See this link for additional info]

The Semiotic Sequencer is a tool created by jazz musician, composer, and sound artist Tao Højgaard, known as Mute State. This tool is not just an artistic experiment but a conceptual bridge between music, linguistics, and semiotics. By translating text into musical sequences, the sequencer creates a sensory dialogue between language and sound, sparking curiosity and innovation at their intersection.

Why It Matters
At its core, the sequencer embodies a shared curiosity between science and art—a desire to explore abstract ideas and transform them into tangible, meaningful experiences. Just as science seeks answers and art provokes questions, this sequencer offers a unique way to navigate the uncharted territory between these realms. It reveals the rhythm, melody, and harmony inherent in written language, providing new insights into the musicality of language.

2:08 How sounds are added to Spectron

"The 20CC TXX-1 Spectron is a Eurorack format dual oscillator inspired by vintage analog multisampling instruments such as the Mellotron, Chamberlin, and Optigan. Spectron uses a unique combination of synthesis and sampling techniques to bring the rich, warbly sounds of these classic instruments into Eurorack for the first time, while also offering new possibilities to manipulate, warp, and mangle them.

Analog multisampled instruments had their hey-day in the 1950's through the 1970's. They used analog recording technology - tape recording in the case of the Mellotron and Chamberlin, and optical sound printing on analog photographic film in the case of the Optigan. Each key corresponded to a recording of a note played on another instrument, often orchestral sounds like strings, woodwinds or choirs, which would play back when the key was pressed. All of Spectron’s sounds are based around full, per-key recordings of vintage multisampled instruments.

Rather than simply triggering discrete samples, Spectron organizes many samples to create the illusion of a continuous voltage-controlled oscillator. As pitch changes, playback seamlessly transitions between recordings, preserving the character of each original tape while allowing smooth, continuous frequency control.

There are two assignable timbre shaping sections not normally found on sample-based instruments: FM and Sync. These are tuned to range from subtle modulations that recontextualize familiar sounds, through radical transformations that are barely recognizable, and all the way to harsh and clangorous, with continuous CV control of all points between."

1982 Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 Overview

video upload by Wannit BBBad

"I am the original owner of this 1982 Sequential Circuits Prophet 10. I sold to a friend years ago and am now posting this video for him. The P10 has the original MIDI kit sold by Wine Country installed and includes the two original CV pedals and original momentary pedal for sustain or program increment. There are plenty of videos that do deep dives on the Prophet 5 and Prophet 10, so I primarily just want to quickly hit on all of the functions working and point out some of the things that make this much more than two Prophet 5 synths."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 Control Voltage Pedals

video upload by Wannit BBBad

"Here's a short video of some of the flexibility added to the 1982 Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 performance using the factory Control Voltage (CV) pedals. Pedal 1 can be assigned to any combination of Freq A, Freq B, Filter, Amp, and Mono-Mod. Pedal 2 can be assigned to Filter and Amp. Pedal 1 and Pedal 2 simultaneously control both Prophet 5 boards."

VAV X-Wave: Wave-Crosser

"X-Wave is a crossover-synched signal switcher for the Eurorack modular system. It's simple to use (no knobs in sight), but it's also very powerful!

X-Wave has two Signal Inputs (conveniently named SIGNAL 1 IN and SIGNAL 2 IN). It has only one OUT, though, so it is forced to choose between the two signals you give it. To do this, it listens to SIGNAL 1 and decides if SIGNAL 1 is positive (as indicated by the little +).

If SIGNAL 1 is positive, it sends only itself to the OUT jack.

However, if SIGNAL 1 is negative, only SIGNAL 2 is sent to the OUT jack (as indicated, again, by the little -).

So, if you feed two different waveforms from a VCO into SIGNAL 1 and 2 IN (pulse on 1 and saw on 2 work very well together, for example), the result will be a wave shape that cycles between half of each waveform you provided. If you use a pulse for SIGNAL 1, you can also create wavetable-like effects by varying the pulse width of your pulse wave on your VCO.

There are two other functions on the X-Wave that greatly expand its capabilities:
You can connect a third signal to the + DETECT IN jack as an external control of the switching action. This will make X-Wave stop listening to SIGNAL 1, and listen only to the 3rd signal This is very useful for using a pulse wave with PWM to "scroll" between two other waveforms from the same VCO, inserting sub oscillators to toggle between full cycles of SIGNALS 1 and 2, hocketing effects via use of a sequencer or gate divider, non-synched interleaving and switching effects, and voltage-controlled A/B switching or muting.

You can also invert the polarity of SIGNAL 2 using the provided toggle switch. This can be used to correct unfavorable polarity alignments between SIGNALS 1 and 2 or can also be used to turn X-Wave into a full wave rectifier or external-voltage-controlled inverter if you plug the same signal into both SIGNAL IN jacks.

X-Wave can pass signals down to 0hz (DC) so it can also be used to process LFOs, Envelopes, CV Sequences, and 1V/Octave signals. It probably has other uses I haven't thought of!

X-Wave is 4HP and uses Burr Brown op amps for the main signal path alongside other high quality Texas Instruments ICs for other duties. X-Wave is not a bi-directional switch, so please be aware that the IN and OUT jack labels should be followed when patching. X-Wave uses a high impedance of 1M (10x the typical 100k) for all inputs, so multiple units can be connected via stacking cables/passive splitters (up to 10 inputs can be paralleled while still maintaining traditional Eurorack input impedance standards)."

Crossfaded: Complex Modulation

video upload by Mehr Music Machines

"Let’s crossfade between two cycling function generators (RAMPS) and use that x-fade signal output to modulate the filter cutoff on Deuxd. And then let’s take one of Crossfaded’s internal (but accessible) LFOs and pan that signal between the two function generators’ shape modulation CV inputs. Let’s do that together."

Crossfaded is 14HP VCA-core utility for Eurorack Modular Synthesizers

Features: Dual 2-channel crossfader/panner VCA
CV control over pan/fade
Built in LFO with two shapes: Swirl (triangle) & Bounce (square)
Dedicated LFO output

Each of the two crossfader sections has 2-input and 2-output. When using both signal inputs the output signal will present the opposing input signal. For example: Signal input 1A fades between outputs B to A. While simultaneously the opposite is true; Signal input 1B fades between outputs A to B.

When only one input is used the outputs can be patched to a mixer's left + right channels for a classic "Auto-Pan" effect. Adjust the LFO's rate and depth to taste.

MAME Synths as Plugins?! Vintage Emulator Studio is Here

video upload by Autodafe

"Vintage Emulator Studio (VES) is finally here!

Download VES here:
https://www.autodafe.net/vintage-emul...

VES started from my experiments with the synthesizers, sound modules, samplers and drum machines emulated by MAME. Over time, after several videos, tests and even A/B comparisons with original hardware, I started wondering: what if these machines could be used in a more musician-friendly environment — and even loaded directly inside a DAW?

That idea eventually became Vintage Emulator Studio.

VES brings together a curated selection of MAME-emulated musical instruments in a single application, available as Standalone, AU and VST3 for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux.

You can download VES for free from my website. As with all my free plugins and sample libraries, there is also an optional €5 Supporter version if you'd like to support my work and future development.

VES is also open source, and the GitHub source code is linked from the product page.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: ROMs are required and are NOT included with VES.
I do not distribute MAME ROMs, so please don't ask me to send them. You will need to provide your own ROM sets. The good news is that MAME ROMs are generally not particularly difficult to find compared with those for some other emulation platforms.

Also keep in mind that VES relies on MAME emulation. Not every supported machine is emulated to exactly the same level of completeness, so some quirks or limitations may come from the current state of MAME itself.

P.S. You may occasionally hear a few small audio drops during this video. My computer wasn't always particularly happy about running multiple emulated machines while recording the screen and audio at the same time — so those glitches are mostly from the recording setup rather than VES itself. 🙂"
