Will These Eurorack Filters Destroy the Classic 303 Sound?

video upload by Metamyther

"In this video, we run a 303 through an array of Eurorack filters to explore the raw, gritty textures perfect for industrial techno and experimental electronic music. Watch as the iconic acid bassline is transformed by an array of filters, from resonant low-pass sweeps to aggressive distortion and modulation to warbly choruses. Whether you're a Eurorack enthusiast, hardware synth lover, or acid techno producer looking to push your sound design further, this deep dive showcases the power of combining classic gear with modern modular flexibility. Ideal for fans of dark grooves and hands-on sonic manipulation."

Alchemical by MSTRBLSTR

Also on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/68lqZLDB2ip4ZOfEg4SsmB?si=m3ba1VD-SSO_CLr4j7OIMg

"The electricity of live manipulation breathes through every sequence as MSTRBLSTR transmutes the raw essence of the TR-606, MC-202, and TB-303 into a sonic incantation. Alchemical is transformation in motion: analog breakbeats pulse with crackling percussion, acid squelches growl and evolve, and rhythms dissolve and reassemble like matter through fire. The bassline becomes the bedrock of energy, conjured live in real time.

Credits
Released May 29, 2025
Programmed, performed, mixed, and mastered by MSTRBLSTR at Ill Acid
Additional drum programming: Severed Machines (https://severedmachines.com)

Hardware:

Modified Roland TR-606 (Robin Whittle mods)

Din Sync RE-303

MC-202 w/ Tubbutec 2oh2 mod

Mixers: Boss BX-8, Alice 1228, Boss KM-4

FX: Tapco 4400 spring reverb, TC Nova Reverb & Delay, Korg SDD-1000/1200

Compression: BSS DPR-402, DOD SR-866

DAW: Ableton Live

This is the same setup I used on From Deep.

Backstory
I brought my TR-606 to Ramiro at Severed Machines to install a few long-desired mods: switch replacements, a louder BD via resistor change, and Robin Whittle’s Accent Trigger and post-volume individual outs. He left in a few patterns, including a breakbeat variation that really hit me. That inspired the synth parts. Next thing I knew, I was performing and recording the full track.

Recording Notes
I treat mixers as modular routers. For Alchemical, the Alice mixer’s direct outs went straight into my interface, while the Boss BX-8 worked as a submixer for overdrive and tone shaping. I panned certain tracks hard L/R into separate buses, then re-centered them on different mixer channels. I have owned many delays while the Korg units are among my favorites, the TC Nova is often a go-to for synths: it sounds great, has nice filters, tap tempo, and my favorite feature, easily accessible time divisions Protip: a buffered pedal in front helps them sound better. The Nova reverb is also very playable and has a dynamic ducking mode that helps it get out of the way, if that's what I need.

In post, I swapped the TR-606 kick for a TR-808 sample in Ableton - it just gave the track the weight it needed. There’s also a lone TR-808 clap halfway through. Other than that, what you hear is live with only some minor edits and additional processing.

__________________________________________________________________

For TR-606 lovers: I highly recommend Robin Whittle’s mods: https://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/tr-606/

The Accent Trigger mod alone is worth it - it adds great performance potential. Robin credited the fix to me, but Ramiro deserves most of the credit. Robin's individual outs (post-volume pot) offer superior performance control and gain staging flexibility compared to the more common pre-pot version."

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping

We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.

The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.

Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.

3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module

At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from ‪@archaea_modular_synthesis‬ who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.

Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.

8 patch ideas for 8-step sequencers feat. Glasgow Synth Guild Oct Tone

video upload by Tom Churchill

"Two and a half years ago I made a video about 8-step sequencer techniques which ended up being one of the most popular things on my channel. So when the Glasgow Synth Guild asked if I fancied making a video about their Oct Tone sequencer, I thought it would be a good opportunity to revisit the topic with 8 more patch ideas.

A lot of the things I’m going to show you can be applied to any 8-step sequencer, so you’ll hopefully get some ideas for things to try no matter what you’re using."

Live Dub Techno Workflow with Linked PLAYdifferently MODEL1 + 1.4 Mixers

video upload by Honeysmack

"In this video I link 2x PLAYdifferently mixers, the MODEL1 and MODEL1.4 for a 10 channel all hardware Dub Techno come Ambient improvisation. The first part of the video I walk through my workflow with this all hardware set up and how I perform in my studio. If you're familiar with how I make, you'll know that I consider my studio an "instrument', whereby I see each device within my studio is a module of my studio-instrument. Every device informs how I perform and compose "in the moment". There are no predetermined outcomes or painful rehearsal. In simple terms I choose several devices, ensure they are synchronised and away I go. Improvising through a process of construction and deconstruction layers of rhythms and sounds. Allowing happy accidents to inform the evolving performance. This jam was recorded in a single unedited improvised take.

The full live performance starts at 08:56. I've been a huge fan of the PLAYdifferently MODEL1 mixer for many years. It is at the heart of everything I do; performing live in front of an audience or in my studio. Recently I got the MODEL1.4 as it will be easier for taking out on the road... but then I thought it would also be highly useful in the studio when linked to the MODEL1.

Gear used in this video:
@playdifferently9439 MODEL1 and MODEL1.4 mixers.
@melbourneinstruments Nina, 12-voice poly synth providing the long ambient pads that transforms into a tinkle of melodic phrases.
Roland TR-909 is the solid rhythmic framework and anchor.
Roland TB-303 and TB-303 Devilfish adding the bubbling acid bass.
Roland TR-808 for some dirty outer-space electro drums running through a Korg Monotron Delay.
Elektron Octatrack is the master clock and resamples the small modular synth rack.
Elektron MachineDrum glitchy digital drum rhythms.
Elektron Syntakt provides a subtle layer of synth and drums.
Eventide Space and Time Factor - for reverb and dub delay echos.
