Roland Juno-106 w/ SEM voice chips - No Talking, Bad playing!

video upload by LowgainElectronics

"Roast my playing all you want. Just wanted to get some sound demos of the custom SEM voice (filter) chips in this Roland Juno-106 that I’m selling. The resonance is gnarly in the top end when pushed to self oscillation. This can make for some really cool effects. But not perfect of course. This synth was never meant to be SEM’d!"

Extended Range Slope Filter (VCFS) mod test 1 - Low-Gain Electronics | Serge Modular 4U

video upload by LowgainElectronics

"Experimenting with the extended range mod for the slope filter (VCFS)

Negative slope is running through the VCFS then into the FM input on an oscillator. So pitch modulation provides an idea of the CV mangling that can be achieved."

"Playing around with some new modifications to the R7 Envelope Generator. You can now retrigger it mid cycle. More information will be posted on my website soon."

Comp/Sat experimentation with Dual Processor V2 - Low-gain Electronics | 4U Modular Serge

video upload by LowgainElectronics

"Running two stage gates (stacked) from gate sequencer into channel 1, squarewave into bandwidth filter into channel 3. Output is fed bad into channel 2 with Q filter in series for gain/tambre control. Playing with channel levels, bias and phase while switching saturation/compression switch in and out. It can be subtle but in feedback patches it can be essential!"

"Quick demoing of some distortion patches that can be achieved. Simple FM kick drum patch (fm for more harmonic content) into Filterbank to access harmonic distortion thresholds!! Lots to tweak!"

Variable Bandwidth Filter - Final revision first sounds | Low-gain Electronics - 4U Modular Serge

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Literally just fired up the Variable Bandwidth Filter… haven’t even calibrated it. Just ran a 50% pulse info it and did some simple sweeps and modulations from the Dual Slopes Compact and VC Filter/Oscillator. Eventually I take the Hi-Band output and feed it into the second input and it gives you resonance control. Fun part about that is you get 6 sources of feedback to choose from! The Hi-Band output provides some nice drip! Can also provide a bit of crunch and overdrive as well depending on your control settings and modulation sources.

There is a little clipping from my phone interface. Sorry about that.

Assembled modules, DIY PCB’s and Panels available very soon!"

VCO2 - First Sounds | Low-Gain Electronics - 4U Modular Serge

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Prototype type boards came in and I couldn’t resist building one up at the end of the day. A board rev needs to be made. I completely forgot to condition the newly added Saw and Double Saw (DUO) outputs so they are 0-5V and not +/-5V. But you can get some really fun wave shapes including square when you mix them in an external processor (a crossfader would be a fun pairing for sure! Also need to tweak the FM input. It’s a little weak."

Buchla Music Easel - Low-Gain | Repair testing

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Took far too long to get all the parts required to fix my Easel, and only and glue to actually fix it. I can finally take it home! One of the preset controls on the 218R is messed up but I’ll fix that later. Time to have some fun!"

Dual Audio Mixer - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular - Serge Modular

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Dual Audio Mixer pcb is a go! Just need panels to arrive!
In this patch I’m just mixing 4 negative slews, and one ‘73 vcf in vco mode.. totaling a 6 voice drone. Because the mix bus is passive (buffered output of course) the signals fight against each other creating some really rich timbres!"

Braided Orgone

"Headphones or good speakers recommended

Playing around with sequencing the Orgone Accumulator module (Bugbrand format) and Tresses (Bugbrand format Mutable Instruments Braids). Modules built by @batchas.

Orgone Accumulator in Drum mode
Tresses in HARM mode

Korg SQ-1 sequencing.

Delay and Reverb effects from the 1010 Bluebox.

@LowGainElectronics format jumbler to get everything hooked together."

‘73 Filter gets a massive upgrade - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Well I finally fixed my only complaint about the 73 filter… at high resonance settings it falls apart and clips to the rails. No clean sine wave when patched to oscillate…

Well that’s all fixed now… :-D and now I absolutely love this filter even more than before!!"
