Vhikk X Bank 2 UPUP | Filterbank Feedback Structure

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I am not sure how far I'd get, but I'll try to make one video for every single VHIKK X algorithm. The first nine algo's were documented on the FORGE TME website as a short reference, but the new algo's are documeted by a huge 3 hour video. So the only way to get through this is to make notes and try to remember. Well, even my photographic memory can't keep up. So I am making this series for myself, but I am confident it will eventually help a lot of you too. I now officially 'know' the UP UP algorithm from the new BANK 2 and I am sure I will forget how it works when BANK 3 and 4 are released in a far or near future.

This particular algo is the Filterbank Feedback Structure. We've seen those before, making spooky atmospheres, drones and growls. SynthUX Audrey immediately comes to mind. For me, it immediately reminds of the Serge Resonant EQ, which started explorations like this. Usually, they process input. The VHIKK version is more like a playable instrument and does not resonate incoming sounds. However, it will still filter them, and put them through the FX section. Sure it can growl and haunt, but it can also follow V/OCT (BASIS) and create beautiful organic tones. If only you can find them...."

The Modular Controller That Keeps Getting Better: Faderpunk

video upload by SynthDad

"What happens when a synth manufacturer opens up its hardware to the community? In the case of AtoVProject’s Faderpunk, something rather exciting!

Faderpunk was already a remarkably flexible MIDI and CV controller, but with the introduction of community-developed apps, it’s becoming an even more powerful tool for modular synthesis, generative sequencing and live performance.

In this video, I explore the new community app ecosystem, show you how to install third-party apps, and dive into some fantastic musical examples.

We’ll explore FP-Grids for generative drum rhythms, TB3PO for acid-inspired sequencing, TechnoKick and TechnoHihat for instant techno grooves, Sift for evolving melodic sequences, and Heat Pump for rhythmic sidechain modulation. I’ll also demonstrate how Automator can record your fader movements and turn them into evolving modulation.

Along the way, we’ll build some musical patches, experiment with sound design, and discover a few unexpected tricks — including using Heat Pump to bring rhythmic movement to the Forge TME Vhikk X.

For me, this is a great example of what happens when developers embrace their communities and give musicians the freedom to experiment and create. And the best part? There’s plenty more to come.

Faderpunk is more than a controller

It’s a living modulation ecosystem that you can shape, build, and customize to your will Faderpunk is all about customization. You can run apps that use one or more of the channels: LFOs, CV-to-MIDI converters, MIDI-to-CV bridges, random generators, Turing machines, quantizers, sequencers, envelopes, rhythm generators, and so much more.

Modulate anything
Faderpunk is a great companion for your Eurorack and semi-modular synthesizers as it speaks all their languages. Explore lots of modulation options for your empty jacks and get inspired by combining MIDI and modular capabilities.

Whether you need modulation sources, sequencers, or automation tools, Faderpunk puts everything at your fingertips with hands-on, intuitive control.

Make it yours, truly
Using the web-based configurator you can easily add and remove apps via drag & drop. Just connect Faderpunk to your computer and go to https://faderpunk.io.

Need an app that doesn’t exist yet? Create it yourself! Faderpunk comes with a developer-friendly API, making it easy to build your own apps.

vhikk x new algo

"The Vhikk X, in its short existence, has already become one of the most iconic Eurorack modules ever created. And now it's even more powerful than ever with 9 new algorithms that dramatically expand what this powerhouse can do. This video showcases every new mode, generating evolving textures, aggressive drones, melodic sequences, and abstract sounds of all kinds."

How He Played Live Techno on a Modular Synth — Built Around the Vhikk X

video upload by SynthDad

"I rebuilt my live rig around one module, the Forge TME Vhikk X, and this is the whole setup explained.

I go through every module in the case, what it does in the set, and why it's in there. There's a lot of playing in this one — I wanted you to hear each part in context rather than take my word for it, so most of the talking happens over a running patch.

The Vhikk X is the newest module and the one I'm still learning. It usually gets demoed as a drone voice, which isn't what I do, so I've been pushing it somewhere else. I cover what works, what doesn't, and whether it earns 24HP in a case I have to carry to a gig.

If you're putting together a rig you actually want to play in front of people, rather than one that only works at home, this should be useful."

TEAR - Experimental jam #31 // Vhikk X, Moog Subharmonicon, Bitbox

video upload by David Falcon

"Testing this battery powered mobile setup. The Palette case can be powered via powerbank and with the Bitbox micro I can record within the Modular case itself, without the need of any other equipment. The idea behind it is to take it outside to some special places to record, and maybe add some field recordings in the background.

I finally got to try the Vhikk X after a while trying to get one. The first few hours with it I was not very inspired by it, but kept digging and found this small melody that felt pretty emotional. Ironically the drone bass did not come from the Vhikk, but instead from my favorite, the Subharmonicon.

The Bitbox is here because it can do a lot in such small footprint. It is a sampler in the classic sense, but also is acting as a pseudo-Radio Music module with a radio sample I found, and also is recording the whole piece directly like the 4ms Wav Recorder.

In Ableton I added later on a bit of compression and EQ to even out the sounds.

I have published the first ALBUM that is acompilation of songs, some from this year and some older called "Hipotese". It is available in the streaming platforms and bandcamp. Go check it out!
