PATCH / STEREO 4 VOICE GENERATIVE CHORDS / Joranalogue Audio Design system


video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"'I had a blast creating this patch on a giant Joranalogue eurorack system. I implemented a lot of small tricks, let me write out the main ones down here...'—Simon


Kickdrum
---------------
Filter 8 is getting pinged by a clock pulse (generated with a looping Contour 1), routed through Warp 1. A second Contour 1 is used to modulate the frequency of Filter 8. A Step 8 being clocked with the same pulse from Contour 1 is modulating the exponent parameter on Warp 1 (controlling the amount of distortion/waveshaping). The pattern is 7 steps long. By adjusting the exp knob manually I have additional control over the distortion.

Analogue Solutions Ample Desktop Monophonic Synthesizer

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


via this Reverb listing

"Mint condition...... And heck if a lot of fun and sounds awesome.

comes with all accessories (matrix pins/cables/power)

In perfect condition, everything works like it should. 2 to3 day shipping...

Ample combines the best elements of several of our recent products.

The sound elements of Fusebox
Jack patch points of Concussor Eurorack
Patch pin matrix of Vostok
Echo from Dr Strangelove
Sequencer and CV touch pads of Generator
It shares all this yet still has its own sound!"

Ample can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be

We have given this synth a large and diverse number of controls, that along side the patch sockets, will give even the best and experienced synthesist endless possibilities.

We have presented the controls in a user friendly and familiar synth layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enable even the new guy to get great sounds.

SYNTH – PERCUSSION – AUDIO PROCESSOR

Ample is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue - as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU stabilised and quantised circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Ample has a genuine old sound.

Turismo - Iterative Drone Composition


video upload by ALM TV

"Our Eurorack modular workstation the 'Turismo' is well suited for sequencing beats and groove box style patching but the versatile system can fit equally well into less structured environments.

Additional details via ALM:


Our Eurorack modular workstation the 'Turismo' is well suited for sequencing beats and groove box style patching but the versatile system can fit equally well into less structured environments.

In this patch we explored using the Turismo for iterative drone composition, making use of the system's stereo line input and output and flexible set of modules to generate, record and reprocess sound in combination with a 4 track cassette recorder.

To start we connected the line out of the Turismo to the first 2 tracks of the 4 track, to capture our patch. We inserted a cassette tape and began recording a prepatched droning ambient soundscape to tape. The patch took full advantage of the system's collection of modules to generate and process the sound. Over the course of recording, we made some tweaks to the patch to subtly evolve our sounds. After a few minutes of recording we faded the sounds out and stopped the tape.

Reprocessing
Next we reset the system and rewound our tape, then repatched the output of the 4 track directly to the stereo line input of the MEGA MILTON utility module so we could reprocess our original patch back through the Turismo in a unique iterative compositional process.

We connected the amplified left and right outputs of the MEGA MILTON directly to channels 1 and 2 of the MEGA-TANG mixer and VCA, increasing their levels and hard panning them left and right. We set the tape to play at half speed, then began playback. The full system was then available to process the recording.

We connected the FX send of the MEGA-TANG to the record input of the Squid Salmple and returned the output for channel 6 back to the MEGA-TANG. Outside of conventional sample playback, the flexible Squid Salmple can be used like a live processor similar to a delay. To set this up, we started by creating a record buffer. We entered the record menu and locked recording to channel 1 by holding the Chan button and pressing the Rec button. We also set the record mode to 'overdub' for a smoother sound. Next we connected a x1 clock output from Pamela's PRO Workout to the record gate input to continuously trigger recording.

Introducing Granulita Versio: Granular chord resynthesizer and shimmer reverb


video upload by Noise Engineering

"Meet Noise Engineering’s chord machine, Granulita Versio.

LIMITED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE: Get your Granulita here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

This granular chord resynthesizer takes your audio, slices it into grains, and reconstructs it into chords, clusters, and shifting harmonies. Paired with a shimmering reverb that adds glowing tails and angelic overtones, Granulita can turn even a single oscillator into something lush, cinematic, or beautifully haunted.

Granulita is part of the Versio platform, so once you’ve got your hands on this module, you can swap the firmware with any other Versio effect for free. Unpower the module, plug in the USB, and visit noiseengineering.us to make the swap.

Join us on Discord! Invite link: / discord"

Press release follows:


Noise Engineering announces Granulita Versio, a granular chord resynthesizer and shimmering reverb.

Contact: kris@noiseengineering.us

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their innovative platform modules, has released Granulita Versio, a granular chord resynthesizer and shimmering reverb.

Granulita Versio offers a simple solution to a complex modular problem. Chords, while beautiful, are difficult and resource-heavy to patch in a Eurorack system. Granulita solves this by generating harmonies for any input signal using a unique granular process. The Chord and Voice parameters allow the user to choose a chord and the note that follows the input signal.

The unquantized Pitch parameter adds an extra layer of harmonic options via transposition, detuning or vibrato.

For fans of granular processing, the Count and Length parameters will be familiar, Granulita can generate any number of grains from zero to 32, and grains can be 16 milliseconds to four seconds long. A modal trigger input and manual button add to the granular fun: freeze grains, sync their playback to an external clock or tap tempo, or use a trigger sequence to manually fire off grain playback.

No granular module would be complete without some atmospheric effects, so Granulita also adds the simple Verb parameter to add in some space. Below noon, small echoes put a patch in a realistic space – but turn up the parameter to add in shimmering octave overtones and feedback into infinity.

Part of the flexible Versio platform, Granulita will be available as an alternate firmware for all Versio owners, completely free, at the Noise Engineering firmware app. However, Granulita breaks the mold with a limited-edition hardware release: only 100 Granulita Versios with exclusive art will be produced, the perfect purchase for collectors or, perhaps, as a holiday gift for the granular enthusiast in your life.

Granulita Versio’s limited run starts December 11th at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

Features
● Turn a monophonic signal into a full chord with ease
● Easily create gentle or ominous timbres from any input
● Modulate between 16 resynthesized chord shapes using the CV-controllable Chord and Voice parameters
● Use Count and Length to change the number and size of grains
● Add subtle atmosphere or shimmering, infinite reverb with the Verb parameter
● Create massive soundscapes or use external triggers to fire or freeze grains
● Play grains forwards, backwards, or in random directions

Availability and pricing:
Granulita Versio: Limited run in stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting December 11th, 2025; MSRP US$393

Introducing Soft Memo by Herbs and Stones


video upload by Herbs and Stones

"Soft Memo is a stereo hybrid multi effects desktop unit.

Eight digital CV controlled FX programs, two analog feedback paths, two complex VCLFOs."

Soft Memo - Eight programs overview

video upload by Herbs and Stones

"Dry / wet comparison of a drum loop treatment by Soft Memo

00:00 Twin Gorge - dual drifting delay
00:25 Faux Mirrors - lo-fi reverse time processor
00:50 Empty Shell - shimmering feedback delay
01:16 Fixed Thoughts - double pitched freeze reverb

02:05 Rival Choir - freeform stereo chorus
02:29 Mood Swings - drifting stereo pitch shifter
02:54 Late Rings - dual ring modulator w/ tempo offset

https://herbs---stones.com/soft-memo/"



Soft Memo is a hybrid stereo multi effects desktop unit with eight digital CV controlled FX programs, two analogue feedback paths and two complex voltage-controlled LFOs.

It has patch points to integrate external synthesisers and sequencers and it is designed to creatively reshape your sounds with a menu-free hands-on approach.

You can create patches by connecting inputs and outputs with eurorack-standard 1/8" jacks.

All its inputs are protected from potentially dangerous voltages.

It generates (and reacts to) control voltages in the 0-5V range: when a CV signal is patched into an input, its knob becomes an attenuator for the incoming signal.

The patch points are visually divided between inputs and outputs: the inputs are placed in the middle of a white circle while the outputs are not.

Soft Memo is powered by a 9V center-negative (500 mA) power supply, the standard PSU used with most guitar pedals.

Features:

Eight FX programs

A total of 25 patch points

Two high gain preamps

Two feedback paths made of analog VCAs and resonant analog VCFs


Two complex voltage controlled LFOs with clock division and phase offset control

An envelope follower

A→B buttons to set how the two channels controls interact with each other"

Café Quantum


video upload by Patch Point

"By Ciat-Lonbarde"



"When the Cocoquantus2 first appeared, it didn’t just find an audience—it created one. Musicians, experimentalists, producers, and curious tinkerers fell in love with its organic chaos, character, and uncanny ability to turn accidents into art. It became a modern cult instrument because you couldn’t play it without forming a relationship with it.

Café Quantum continues that lineage with reverence—then boldly invents a new chapter.

At its core, Café Quantum preserves the tactile immediacy and playful unpredictability of the Coco ecosystem. But surrounding that familiar heart are entirely new tools designed to make the instrument feel more alive, more intelligent, and more expressive.

One of the biggest leaps is the open-source programmable engine. For the first time, players can write their own behaviors—little sonic personalities— at the Cafe modules, one for each side, and the Quantum module can carry them out by patching points. Whether it’s generative patches, evolving modulation, rhythmic structures, or strange autonomous rituals, the instrument becomes a creative partner. And thanks to the dedicated banana sockets, these behaviors integrate directly into the patch ecosystem. The Cafe module becomes a blank page for your imagination, shaped as far as your coding skills can carry you

The preamp has grown up too. Now it features a Norton gain character and adds a VCA input, making external dynamics, sidechaining, and voltage-controlled level manipulation feel effortless. On top of the newly redesigned preamp features you still have the envelope follower that opens the door to all sorts of expressive interactions between incoming audio and internal modulation.

Then comes the new magic trick:
A radio-based gestural controller sits atop the entire system, allowing 4 hands-free modulation reminiscent of a theremin. Move in space, and the instrument responds—pitch, delay time, grain density, feedback paths, whatever you choose. It transforms performance from knob-twisting to full-body expression."

Roland Juno-106 61-Key Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer w/ New Voice Chips

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


via this Reverb listing

"The Juno-106 synthesizer was Roland’s successor to the Juno-60 and was first released in 1984. It was one of Roland’s first synthesizers to include MIDI and the patch memory was expanded to 128 patches over the 56 available on the Juno-60.

The synth is polyphonic with 6 voices and 1 digital controlled oscillator per voice. It has a chorus effect to fatten up the sound and by pressing both the Poly 1 and 2 switches at the same time, the synth can be played in monophonic unison mode with all 6 voices playing on every key pressed. It has a non-resonant high pass filter and a resonant low-pass filter.

It’s easy to program and remains a popular synth to this day.

This unit was fully serviced in Oct 2021 at Bell Tone Synth Works and at that time, all 6 voice chips were replaced with Analogue Renaissance voice chips. In addition, they performed the following services:

Replace 3 electrolytic smoothing capacitors in power supply, reflow solder on power transistors/regulators, adjust power supply rail voltages
Re-solder output board jacks, cleaned output level switch and tuning pot.
Clean volume pot, portamento pot and pitch bend pot.
Replace old soldered-in patch memory battery with new battery in battery holder for easy replacement in the future; reload sounds.
Calibrate all parameters to Roland specs.
Replace 2-prong Japanese power cable connector with standard 3-prong IEC C14
Replace all panel button tact switches, clean all sliders, replace crumbly slider dust gaskets with new ones.
Replaced (2) MN3009 BBD IC's in Chorus circuit with new Xvive MN3009s to reduce noisy wooshing
Repaired and re-centered bender pot by resoldering the wiring and re-aligning to get the bender working correctly."

How to use S&H, comparators and rectifiers, feat. Worng Electronics Quiver


video upload by Tom Churchill

"This video is all about cool things you can do with some basic utilities in a modular synth. In particular, I want to explain how you can massively expand the sonic range of a basic oscillator with a few simple tricks. I’ll show you a couple of ways to use sample & hold, both at audio rates and for more subtle ‘humanising’ modulation. I’ll explore using a rectifier to create octave-up copies of simple shapes and to transform basic waveforms in more radical ways. I’ll go into extreme PWM territory with a comparator, as well as using it for some pitch-dependent switching to spice up sequences. And I’ll show you how you can use analogue logic processing to turn a mono oscillator into a stereo one."

Orangey-Brown Accumulation (Buchla 100)


video upload by Memetune Studio

"This is a live performance on an original Buchla 100 from the late 1960s, using the Concrete Box™ , and TX-6 mixer

The patch uses 3 loopers and 2 delays, plus a very old Dynacord VRS23 reverb (which is adding some slightly woozy pitch-bendy-ness to the reverb)

The Buchla has a really basic patch - just one Sine-Saw VCO into the Sharp Cutoff Filter (Lowpass section). There's some cutoff mod from the keyboard capacitance voltage (which is why I'm wiggling my fingers in a rather silly-looking way)

The vintage Buchla 100 sounds so natural, rich and organic, I love it - almost like an acoustic instrument - a brassy, beautiful tone from the saw waves

Also, there's a second VCO (square) going into the HPF section of the Sharp Cutoff Filter (which is independent from the lowpass section in this mode) for the low drones

It builds up a bit like the many fallen leaves which have accumulated upon the now wintery lawn I am gazing upon"
