Hacking the TIME-SHIFTER - Eurorack module

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"A small addition to the TIME SHIFTER module:
Add a CV input to the MAIN-SHIFT parameter.
A CV input to this parameter hadn't been planned, as in the intended use, it wasn't relevant.
But actually, why not? That's the whole point of being modular: going where the manufacturer hadn't thought!

Ok, it's a bit makeshift, but it works…
More info on the site:
https://www.larix-elektro.com/PRODUCT...

Modules used:
LARIX ELEKTRO 4TOMS for the toms! obviously ;)
LARIX ELEKTRO Ritournelle CV Generator + Shift-R for the rhythm
LARIX ELEKTRO Ritournelle CV Generator (another one) for the CV controlling the MAIN SHIFT"

"WHAT'S THAT THING ?
The Time-Shifter is a delay for gate or trigger signales.
As all good time machines it can delay after and before (!).

The first idea is to find a way to build a swing or a groove.
So to decide which steps of which track is decayed, and how much.

To do this, it is necessary to be able to shift the events after and before. But before, we can't predict when an event will appear...

The solution is to decay everything, and then, decaying less than the others events.
So comparing to the new decaying events, it will sounds like it appear before.


The MAIN SHIFT defines this new reference.
So if you enter the main CLK signal into the input, the output of this circuit can be used as the new CLK reference.

The four circuits A B C and D works according to the value of the MAIN SHIFT reference:
- When the knob is centered, the time decay is the same.
- Left, means less time decay, so the event will appear before.
- Right, means more time, so the event will appear after.

Extend your module:
The module can be enriched by one expansion modules:
- The AttV-4 adds to the CV entries an adjustment of the CV value by an attenuverter.
The connectors on the back of the module save connectivity at the front.

Typical use:
- Groove (or swing, etc.) controlable by CV (!)
- Realignment of gates sequences.
(When using multiple sequencers with different latency)
- Signals sequencing adjustment.
(Be sur that a RST arrives at the right moment, for example)
(Be sur that a your S&H module sample after signal stabilization, for example)"

Oberheim DMX 8-Voice Drum Machine

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"The Oberheim DMX is a classic digital drum machine introduced in 1981 by Oberheim Electronics. It became one of the most iconic drum machines of the early 1980s, particularly influential in hip-hop, electro, and pop music

🔧 Key Features:

12-bit digital samples: The DMX used actual sampled drum sounds stored in EPROM chips, giving it a realistic, punchy character that distinguished it from analog drum machines like the Roland TR-808.
Sounds: It included individual samples for kick, snare, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, claps, cowbell, etc. The samples could be swapped out using different EPROMs.
8-voice polyphony: You could play up to 8 drum sounds at once.
Individual outputs: Each drum sound had its own output jack, allowing for separate processing and mixing.
Swing and quantization: The DMX had adjustable swing, making its grooves feel more human.
Tight MIDI sync and clocking: It could sync with other gear via MIDI (on later models), DIN sync, or analog clock pulses.
Sequencing: Patterns and songs could be programmed in step or real-time mode, with memory for multiple patterns and songs.

🎧 Sound Character:
Punchy and dry, with a distinctive ’80s sheen.
The snare and clap are especially famous—used heavily in early rap and electro.
It had a more realistic, “studio drummer” feel than analog machines, making it ideal for producers aiming for a more polished sound

This unit has a toggle and button on top and button which we are not sure of the function. Never used it."

Jupiter 4 : Ring Modulator : Spring Reverb : Sound Exploration with the Warm Audio Ringer Bringer

video upload by Luke Million

"Ever wondered what a Jupiter-4 sounds like through a Ring Modulator and a Spring Reverb?

Well I did and made some cool, fun sounds ranging from subtle to outrageous.

The Roland Jupiter-4 is connected to a Warm Audio Ringer Bringer, an Echo Fix Spring Reverb and that passes through a Franklin Audio DI-20 before hitting my Universal Audio Apollo Twin.

This video is part of my Sunday Sessions Series where I create improvised Jams that will form the basis for future tracks."

This appears to be the first post to feature the Warm Audio Ringer Bringer. Some info below.

"REVIVING AN AVANT-GARDE PEDAL FOR MUSIC’S TRAILBLAZERS

From light Lo-Fi modulation all the way to the piercing sound of infinity ring-modulation, the Warm Audio RingerBringer accurately recreates the ultimate all-analog ring modulation effect used for experimental tones. Like the original, loved by artists like Jeff Beck, Radiohead, Omar Rodríguez-López, Trent Reznor, and many more, RingerBringer delivers the original distinct set of controls, extensive in/out options, and rich sonic textures to inspire boundless sonic experimentation.

DON’T JUST PLAY, CREATE

The ideal platform for the sonic tinkerer, RingerBringer inspires you to generate layered frequencies and harmonics, explore a wide range of sonic possibilities for guitar, bass, synthesizers & beyond, and design your own sounds from the ground up. Extensive controls including LFO, MOD, FREQ (FREQUENCY) & RATE open up sonic possibilities that range from subtle overdriven textures all the way to wobbling, warped leads soaked in texture and tone. RingerBringer is 100% analog and sports premium components including hand-selected op-amps and transistors. RingerBringer is no emulation or 'patch', instead it delivers true-to-spec performance of the boutique, analog original."

Currently listed on Reverb and eBay here.

Pics captured here.

"functionnal demo of this Wersi Wersimatic analog drum and accompaniment unit I just serviced. It's very like other units of that era like the Elgam Carousel, Elka Wilgamat or Godwin Drummaker.
You get 24 rhythm patterns that can all be combined and 12 accompaniment patterns that can also all be combined and these consist of an arpeggio (with a selection of 2 sounds: piano and spinet), a walking bass and a chord (with a selection of 3 sounds: piano, spinet and guitar). You can manually play chords or play 'one-fingered' chord and then you have the option to alter the chords (Min, 7th and Diminished).
On the drum you have the option to alternate 2 patterns. Note that one of the pattern should have a dot under its name and the second should not, otherwise these pattens won't alternate but combined. You can actually alternate between groups of combined dotted patterns and undotted patterns (i do this towards the end of the video).
Other nice features includes mute switches for most of the sound (unfortunately not for the Hi Hat and Cymbal), snare roll, drum fill, stereo output (demo was recorded in mono output plugged into a Dynacord VRS23 for reverb).
These units can also very easily be moddified (indivual outputs, trigger input, clock input etc)"

SOLTON POLYVOX K - 1983

This is the first comprehensive demonstration of the SOLTON POLYVOX ever made.
The reason this hasn't been done previously by anyone else is the insane rarity of the controller keyboard that unlocks all sections - SOLTON POLYVOX K.

We've only seen the controller keyboard in the wild twice and we managed to buy them both.
Are there any other ones out there?
Please light up the comment section if you have physically encountered another one - we'd love to hear about it.

Since this unicorn doesn't get captured very often we thought we owed the internet quality photos and an in-depth, technical video demonstration of its functions.

Before we start we'd like to say that one complete unit is up for sale - if you're interested please contact us via the email on our website - link below.

There are a lot of features here so we actually missed a few, so stay tuned for a Part II this fall or winter.

GS Bree6 | Cinematic synthesizer music

video upload by Jay Hosking

https://www.gsmusic.com/

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Two cinematic songs performed live on the GS Bree6 and Walrus Qi, with orchestration added afterward in the box.

Thank you SO MUCH to the incredible ‪@devinbelangermusic‬ (aka Miles Away) for lending me the Bree6. I had so much fun with it that I started pricing out getting one myself!

The Bree6 is a six-voice analog polysynth, relatively simple in its architecture but with fantastic sound. It has a lot of features going for it, in my opinion, including great oscillators, very nice stereo spread, small form factor, and a panel mode. I dialled in some sounds extremely fast and got lost in the music making.

I was so lost, in fact, that I didn't even bother to try and show off the variety of this synth. Instead, I wanted to emphasize what I liked about it: I was writing music on it right away. Hopefully that inspiration comes through, and hopefully you can find other great videos (like Devin's) to hear the wider range of the synth.

Arrangements were written using some Spitfire strings (Cells, and BBC Orchestra), as well as some interesting sounds from Teletone Audio's 'simplesizer' line (e.g. Le Gibet).

Thanks for listening.

Filternator

video uploads by Kanawha Music

Playlist:

1. "Filternator" module introduction

A no-talking introduction to our new module. Is it a Filter? Is it a Resonator? Yes...with a difference.

2. Filternator Stereo demo- no talking

Using two Filternator modules in parallel for stereo and the cool sounds you can make.

3. Filternator Drum & Guitar

What happens when you run a drum machine or a guitar through this module? Let's find out.

Filternator

"Is it a filter? Is it a resonator? Is it a filter bank? Yes- the new Filternator module is all of the above…with a difference. When developing the module and hearing how it treated signals, it was obviously filtering, but with high resonant peaks that were stronger than the incoming signal, at which point it was resonating up a storm. So what to call it? It’s resonating as much as it’s filtering, so we called it the Filternator!

It’s simplicity itself to use: plug your audio in the input, and the output goes to whatever you like down your signal chain. Use the wet/dry mix knob to control the amount of “filternated” signal you’d like to hear. Then comes the fun part: chose a mode, and start messing around with the switches. There’s a choice of three switches for the capacitors, and three switches for the coils used in the circuit. They can be used in any combination to set the filter frequencies and resonant peaks. If you like, automate the mix control with an external CV source. The one thing you don’t do is power it up…except for the external control voltage for the wet/dry mix, it’s completely passive! But unlike other passive filters, this design doesn’t drag down your signal level with resistors in the circuit, because there aren’t any. By using inductors instead, the signal doesn’t get attenuated as it does in a standard passive filter. Instead, it will actually boost signal levels as it nears the resonance peak.

Talk about skiff friendly, not only does it not take any power, but it’s nice and slim, just 12mm deep behind the (nice and thick aluminum) faceplate."

WISP - Granular Ambient Modular #17 // Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Mojave, Rhodes

video upload by David Falcon

"noun /wɪsp/
a delicate, thin, and sometimes twisting piece or line of something

Me apetecía algo relajante así que hice una pieza para mí mismo. La idea parte sampleando en el @instruo Arbhar: Rhodes, Piano, Vibráfono, Acordeón, Synth bass y Cuerdas. En mi experiencia, este módulo funciona mejor cuando se samplean frases para luego recorrerlas con su motor en lugar de notas individuales. Lleva a sorpresas y texturas interesantes. En esta jam solo utilicé el vibráfono y el rhodes.

La textura aguda, parecida a una voz, soy yo mismo cantando al micro del @QuBitElectronix Mojave y fijando el búfer. Fui editando el módulo hasta hacerlo funcionar en el tema. La línea de bajo nace en el @MoogSynthesizers Subarmonicon y lo envié al @ShakmatModular Dual Dagger para controlar la dinámica.
En el @WeAreElektron Analog Four añado un Kick, Hi-Hat y dos líneas simples en las frecuencias agudas. También improviso con el Nord con un sonido Rhodes en algunas partes a tiempo real (no he podido montar el vídeo que he hecho en el móvil de esta parte por algun motivo en Davinci Resolve)

Gracias por estar al otro lado!

(eng)
I was in the mood for a relaxing piece so I made one for myself! It started by sampling some new sounds into Arbhar. Rhodes, Piano, Vibraphone, Accordion, Synth bass and Strings. In my experience this module works best when sampling phrases to then sweep around with its engine instead of single notes. It leads to more happy accidents and interesting textures. In this jam only the vibraphone and some rhodes was used.

The high texture vocal-like sound is myself singing into Mojave and locking the buffer. I tweaked the module until I found something that worked. It was mixed with a bass line in the subharmonicon and sent to the Dual Dagger to control the dynamics of the song.
Lastly the Analog Four is adding Kick, Hi-Hat and two simple lines on top. I also improvise with a Nord Rhodes sound on top in some of the parts."

Roger Linn: The King of Drum Machines

video upload by Jack Pearson

"This is the story of Roger Linn, a guitarist from Los Angeles whose innovative sample based drum machines changed the sound of music forever.

Special thanks to Roger himself for featuring my video in the September Linnstrument newsletter (https://myemail.constantcontact.com/L...) and on his website (https://www.rogerlinndesign.com).

I first learned about Roger a few years ago while making a film called “The History of Sampling in Music” [below]. While I didn’t know anything about Roger at the time, I was astounded to learn that he had created both the LinnDrum and the MPC, which shaped the punchy robotic drums of 80s pop music and the grungy experimental grooves of 90s hip-hop respectively. I did a quick bit of research about him for my video, but didn’t really dig much deeper than that… However, a few months ago I decided to rewatch my old project, which reignited my interest in Roger’s story and gave me the idea for this video.

Like my previous project, I’d initially planned to write a script and do a voice-over, but after discovering the assortment of recorded interviews that Roger has already appeared in, I realised that I could just chop them up and have Roger tell his own story. I thought 'hey that sounds pretty cool, how hard could it be?'

Well, let’s just say I’m probably never going to do something like this again. I did enjoy making this and I am proud of it, but if I had just done a voice-over not only would it have been easier to make, but I also could’ve included a lot information without it feeling incredibly clunky. The initial cut was about 26 minutes, but I cut out loads of stuff for the sake of pacing and trying to stick to narrative beats. Roger is a fascinating guy with a lot of great anecdotes though, so if you enjoyed this video then I highly recommend you seek out some of the podcasts/interviews he’s done over the years.

I planned on making all the music for this film myself, but decided it would be better to use music that relates to Roger in some way (for example, he co-wrote 'Promises' by Eric Clapton and 'Quittin’ Time' by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and first used the LM-1 Drum Computer on the Leon Russell album 'Life & Love' which featured the track 'One More Love Song'.) I salvaged one of these demo tracks for the credits, but you can listen it and a few more scrapped tracks here:

Jack Pearson · RL:TKODM (Credits Music + Demos)

Since you’ve read this far, here’s a few bonus Roger facts that got cut out of the video:

The LM-1 was featured on the best selling album of all time - 'Thriller' by Micheal Jackson, as well as other early 80s hits like 'Maneater' by Hall & Oates, 'Valerie' by Steve Winwood, and for some reason - the original 1983 Thomas the Tank Engine theme song.

Roger hired his friend, a professional session drummer called Art Wood, to record most of the sounds on the LM-1. They set up the kit in Roger’s closet, recording each of the drums one at a time… then called it a day. Given the popularity of the songs featuring these recordings - Art Wood is technically one of most prominently featured drummers of all time.

And here's two bonus facts about this video:

The title 'The King of Drum Machines' is a quote from the father of MIDI - Dave Smith, when he spoke about Roger and the Tempest drum machine (which they built together) on a Sweetwater panel in 2015. [below]

This video was released on Roger’s 70th birthday.

The Inventors of Synth (Roger Linn, Dave Smith & Tom Oberheim) - Sweetwater Gearfest 2015

video upload by Sweetwater

"Join Mitch Gallagher as he moderates 'The Inventors of Synth' panel discussion at Gearfest '15. Featuring industry icons Dave Smith, Tom Oberheim, and Roger Linn discussing their thoughts on the past, present, and future of analog synthesizers and controllers.

Legendary synth designer and Grammy-winner Dave Smith was the founder of Sequential Circuits in the mid-'70s. His Prophet-5, the world's first fully programmable polyphonic synth, was the first musical instrument with an embedded microprocessor. Dave is also known as the driving force behind the development of the MIDI specification. He has continued to innovate, and recently unveiled his latest synth creation, the Sequential Prophet-6.

A pioneer of the synth and MIDI world, Tom Oberheim co-designed the Synthesizer Expansion Module (SEM), a device that allowed musicians to simultaneously combine live playing and sequenced playback - a concept that pre-dated the MIDI revolution. In 1981, he, along with Roland's Ikutaro Kakehashi and Sequential's Dave Smith, developed the MIDI spec, which changed the course of modern music. Tom recently re-released his famed Two Voice synth.

Technical Grammy award-winner Roger Linn invented the LM-1 Drum Computer (the first sample-based drum machine) in 1979. He later designed the Akai MPC60, which combined a sampling drum machine with a real-time MIDI sequencer. His guitar effects unit, AdrenaLinn, has been used on hit recordings by John Mayer and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 2014 he released the LinnStrument, an expressive MIDI performance controller."

"May 18, 2025
Last week was our first time at Superbooth as exhibitors introducing our first module Four Seas. In this video we wrap up our experience at Superbooth and feature sounds from Four Seas, created and generated by our booth visitors. Thank you to everyone who came by to check out Four Seas, it has been a genuine pleasure to see what you created with it."

Four Seas - sound teaser #1

"Here's a demo jam showing off a few things Four Seas can do. All sounds from Four Seas aside from the bass drum from Basimilus Iteritas Alia and the reverb/delay from Mimeophon. Hope you enjoy!

Patch notes:
0:00 - oppressive bass
0:20 - through-zero phase mod, courtesy of Dixie II+
0:45 - hi-hats/percussion using Wogglebug's audio out as a phase mod source
0:58 - swirling synths; two Four Seas outputs mixed into 3 Sisters, wave spread modulated via joystick
1:36 - awesome glitchy "open hats" triggered via Wogglebug's Burst output"

"Four Seas is a four-dimensional wavetable oscillator that transforms sound exploration into a tactile, intuitive experience. Navigate through sonic space using X, Y, and Z controls to explore wavetables as a three-dimensional cube, while the fourth dimension emerges through four related outputs with intelligent spread control.

From gentle detuning to complex microtonal relationships, the spread control offers multiple modes including harmonic ratios, prime numbers, and golden ratio proportions; everything from lush chords to experimental frequency relationships is at your fingertips. The four outputs cascade across wavetable space through intelligent spread algorithms, creating rich, evolving textures like light dispersing through a sonic prism.

The powerful modulation section features thru-zero phase modulation, phase distortion waveshaping, and bitwise XOR for complex sound design. Dual sync inputs with selectable modes, CV control over wavetable banks, and SD card loading for custom wavetables complete the package. Each oscillator pair can switch to LFO rates for modulation duties, and I2C compatibility enables integration with Teletype, Crow, ER-301, and other modules. No menus, no presets — just immediate, musical control over a vast sonic landscape."
