"Interesting modulation is what makes eurorack patches come to live. I have been using Zadar from Xaoc devices for some time now, and really enjoy it for the interesting and complex modulation signals it can create. Today we take a look at how the module works, and of course I give a series of patch examples and ideas along the way."

Further explorations with the Verbos Electronics Scan & Pan mixer and the XAOC Devices Timiszoara, Odessa, Batumi, and Zadar. The Scan & Pan is turning out to be a pretty amazing module as it Scans through the three channels featuring the Odessa's Odd, Even, and Fundamental outputs (and Pans channel three which is Odessa's Fundamental.) Couple that with the Timiszoara for effects and the modulation on the Odessa, makes for some really interesting sound!. Sequencing provided by the Intellijel Metropolix. Modulation from Batumi and Zadar which is also providing the Envelopes for Channel 1 and 2 of the Verbos."
"Exploring the Hertz Donut MKII's insanity with a minimal setup, in 4 different patches. More a CO-OP than a battle with my friend PLURMK. Only HD MKII as sound source.
"This is my first exploration with the XAOC Devices Odessa Harmonic Oscillator and Zadar Quad Envelope Generator, minutes after unboxing. This is edited down from an hour-long session so as not to completely bore everyone as I fumbled my way through these fairly deep modules. Hopefully, you will find moments of interesting alien sci-fi soundscapes within... additional modulation from Xaoc Batumi. Reverb and Delay effects via Mutable Instruments Beads."
"We are back in Warsaw after Superbooth 22. It was great to meet all of you in our booth! Thanks for visiting us! Here is spontaneously recorded demo of our new analog oscillator for all who could not come and are curious about the sound palette, and those who were there and just want to hear it again!
Patch is really simple, just Sofia without filters with some reverb and sequenced with Moskwa. Ratios of two ripple elements responsible for shaping are modulated with sine from Batumi and complex envelope from Zadar. Latter in the video there is also a bit of self-patching."
The purpose of 'TEST SERIES' is to focus on the sound design possibilities of various gear combinations. This series is not musical nor does it serve as an instructional video. It is all about sound potential.

"This is a Xaoc Devices Zadar 1973 quadruple envelope generator tutorial. I go through all knobs and functions and show two patch ideas.
Zadar is a four-channel envelope, modulation, and transient generator. It creates envelopes from hundreds of shapes using vectors that can be stretched, flipped, warped, distorted, delayed, shuffled, repeated, and amplitude modulated in real-time."

"I made this ambient tune with the idea to establish a dialogue between the Black Corporation Deckard's Voice, 4MS Ensemble Oscillator and the Qu-Bit Surface.
PATCH NOTES:
Deckard's Voice and the Surface are sequenced and triggered by Pam's New Workout (that also shares the clock to the entire system), while the Ensemble is sequenced by Hermod.
Divkid Ochd modulate various parameters of the Ensemble, QPAS, Mimeophon and Surface.
"The fun part about this patch is that all of the pitch sequencing comes from the Moog Subharmonicon. Including the bass line. Subharmonicon starts doing its thing with the two four note sequences. It goes through Make Noise Mimeophon to double up the polyrhythm pattern. Mutable Instruments Rings follows the pitch of sequence one, while Mutable Instruments Plaits (in a Rings-ish voice) follows sequence two. Moog Mother 32 samples and holds a pitch from sequence two at random intervals. Both sequences run into Expert Sleepers Disting mk4 in min/max mode. Mutable Instruments Tides and Make Noise STO double up on the base line, which is the min value of the two sequences, periodically switching to the max value (when it sounds like it goes to the 4 chord). The overall mix sequencing is handled by Malekko Voltage Block, with 2x Make Noise Maths controlling the slow fade between settings.
Also starring Intellijel Steppy sequencing Mosaic drum modules, XAOC Zadar and Qu-Bit Chance for modulation, Mutable Instruments Stages for some LFOs, Strymon Magneto on Plaits, and Chase Bliss Mood and Happy Nerding FX Aid on Mother 32."
"I've already looked at the Setonix Synth Marsupial. Really liked it, and was accordingly quick to order the Macropod when it became available. At about the same time I got ahold of an Ikarie from Bastl.
Between the three of them, I have a hard time choosing a favorite, and all are definitely keepers.
This is a short comparison to get a feel for their respective sounds. I'm not spending a lot of time on the Marsupial since I already covered it (see link in description/above), but do want it here so I can have a clear ear on how it differs from Macropod.
Source VCO is a Dannysound Cali Osc. Envelope from Zadar. Sequence from
Stochastic IG. And a touch of Valhalla reverb at the end.
"So you have 8hp available, and want to fill it with a filter. Here are some options. They aren't all the options, there are many, many more. But a few new 8hp filters have arrived recently (the XAOC, CCTV, and SetonixSynth), so it seemed like a good time to compare them with some other 8hp filters I have close at hand. For the most part I'll be listening to low pass outputs only.
Source audio is an Intellijel Dixie II+, with a mix of several waves. Envelope is from Zadar. Sequence from Stochastic SIG. A touch of Halls of Vallhalla reverb at the end.
A clone is a hardware that is made differently, with different parts and technology (SMD, OpAmp etc.) than older devices, but should sound similar. And sometimes does not sound so similar. The RE-303 ist something different, it is a replica. That means (with few exceptions) the original parts are used and also the mounting technology. In consequence there is no manual, because you can use the original manual. from the internet :)
Creating such a replica is done in handwork, because the electronic factories use more modern technology mostly. In result the device sounds like an original TB-303, I can notice the phasey trippy deepness in it, while clones are a bit shallow. But you don't have to maintain a decades old device and everything is still robust and durable.
This piece is as far as one can get to a real TB-303 because it also uses a replica of the CPU. Not all DinSync RE-303 replicas do this. (It is a sunflowr/recpu that is a replica of the CPU firmware with the same usage. More original than other choices, also in the quirks.).
The color is black and the LEDs are green, the housing is made of metal.
I used it in almost every track, but times are hard for musicians these days.
You can hear it in action in my latest tracks. Almost all have it somewhere, if there's a 303 inside, it's this unit."

"This 62HP system is a four voice synthesizer with effects that is designed to be sequenced by an iPad with USB, but you could sequence it with any USB midi.
The synth voice is made with the Recovery Effects Jupiter Spirits quad VCO, an Intellijel Morgasmatron dual filter, XAOC Zadar quad envelope/function generator and two Intellijel 1U Dual VCAs for 4 VCAs total. There are two effects modules, the WMD/SSF DPLR dual delay and the Erica Synths Dual FX which has two DSP effect channels. The USB to CV is handled by the Noise Engineering Univer Iter. The iPad is used to both sequence the four synth voices with the Fuge Machine app, and to create the drums with Ruismaker.
"First moments with 2 Manis Iteritas in the same skiff. Zadar envelope B is modulating the first Manis saw while envelope C from Zadar is plugged into the 2nd Manis pitch. The triggers are two separate divided clocks by Moffenzeef Mitto. One for kick and one for the bassline. The first Manis is the one plugged into the E440 filter. Basimilus Iteritas Alter is the kick."
