Dark & Long (Dark Train)/Underworld - Circuit Tracks Version.


video upload by Guinan

"Best known for being featured in the movie Danny Boyle movie ‘Trainspotting’ this track was first released in 1994 by the band, Underworld. It featured also in the 2012 opening ceremony of the London Olympics (which was also directed by Danny Boyle). Prior to this my wife was only slightly aware of the band, but this song (and others featured) made her an instant fan! The album it is featured on (‘Isles Of Wonder’) is her favourite and is played in our house, in her car, on her phone whenever and wherever she has a chance so this is dedicated to her. Love xx

I was inspired to do this version after PinkPantheress’s new track inspired by this song. I’ve done a version of her track too and you can find it here; [Illegal/PinkPantheress video below]

Everything you hear is programmed into, played and produced by the Circuit Tracks. No extra synths or effects were used and the audio is a straight recording from the stereo out. There are a couple of samples being played (see below) to fill out the track and some very dodgy singing of the repeated refrain ‘Dark Train’ by yours truly.

More details for synth nerds:

This was fun to do and having polished this a bit more I would like to go back and redo the PinkPantheress track….if anyone would like to see an Underworld/Pink Pantheress mashup remix (‘Illegal’ in the style of ‘Dark Train’) leave a comment below and I’ll happily oblige ;)
The sounds on this were self-created exclusively for this track. The drum samples used were my go-to 909 and 707 samples from Yves Big City’s ‘90’s House Dream’ pack. I addition I created a looped chord for the choir sound (I used Arturia’s Emulator softsynth) and I merged this chord with edited filtered sections of my voice to produce the repeated ‘Dark Train’ section.
The track layout was as follows,
Tempo 136 BPM
Synth 1 – Bass Organ patch
Synth 2 – Main synth stab/pad sound (I used a wavetable wave, ‘Tri-Saw Blend’, detuned it and added tons of reverb)
Drum 1 – 909 bass drum and rim sounds (no reverb)
Drum 2 – 909 & 707 Hihat (closed and open and some ride)
Drum 3 – 909 Claps
Drum 4 – Arturia Emulator softsynth Choir chord loop (4 bars) and merged choir/”Dark Train’ vocals all loaded onto drum pads and played as if drum sequences.

"This week's track is so new the paint is still fresh! ‘Illegal’ by PinkPantheress. This hyperpop spin on modern UK Garage just shows how dance music evolves and constantly changes.

Live Set Re-recorded - from Superbooth25, feat AJH SYNTH all-analogue modules


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This is a re-recording of a 20-minute live set by @DreamsOfWires for Superbooth25, and consists of two old tracks from my video back-catalog. It's quite a minimal rig, configured as two all-analogue synth voices - one for melodic patterns, one for pitched drone parts.
The actual performance at the event suffered technical problems as a result of failing cables and a dodgy musician's inability to recover much from it. As a result said musician decided to record a version of it after returning home, demonstrating how it should have sounded.
In my defence, this rig had been on display for 3 days at the AJH Synth booth, demoing modules, being re-patched, fiddled with, then re-patched, etc... but then again, a bad workman always blames their tools :P
I hope this version is more audible.

Modules used:
(AJH SYNTH)
Matrix VCF
Transistor Ladder Filter
Sonic XV Diode Ladder Filter
Vintage Transistor Core VCO x4
Sample Hold & Slew
Contour Generators

Inspiration is All Around You


video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Pete from the Make Noise Instagram channel here, filling in this week with a 'hangout' video, in which we go exploring Asheville looking for inspiration to patch with.

Record shops! Movie stores! Waterfalls! This one has it all."

Timestamps:
0:00 - introduction
1:40 - surface noise texture exploration
5:30 - VHS tape ribbon controller
7:18 - waterfall tape loop
11:05 - outro

"Here is the New Music article mentioned in the video: https://newmusicusa.org/nmbx/synthesi...

A note about using VHS tapes as ribbon controllers: at some point, it seems that VHS tapes changed formula and the newer tapes just don't work for this sort of thing. Instead, look for older tapes where one of the sides has more of a matte finish— this is the side you want to have facing up (newer tapes tend to have two shiny sides and neither of them will work for this experiment).

Thanks for watching, and happy patching!"

Polykit-16 with added performance modes


video upload by Craig Barnes

"When I first built this synth although it was bi-timbral I never really made the operation so you could easily use the bi-timbral modes, it had patch setups, but not performances to take advantage of the dual sounds, so this week I went out if my way to add the performance mode."

V-SHAPE and SAMPLE HOLD & SLEW Stepped Wave-Shaping / Timbre Modulation Session #eurorack


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Short performance example using Sample & Hold to add random modulation to wave shape in a musically intuitive way. The V-Shape is a very capable wave shaper, also featuring optional distortion, and voltage control over both. Here the wave shape of a simple triangle wave is being twisted to produce a much more interesting variety of timbres, each being instigated by gate signals from a keyboard CV controller. Gate signals sent to the Clock input of the Sample Hold & Slew module bypass its internal clock, and trigger it to create a new random voltage when a gate signal is received. This way a keyboard or sequencer can be used to step through the random voltages as desired. See the following video for an example doing this with a sequencer, also using the V-Shape: • Patch of the Week: 'Schulze School' -..." [2nd video in the playist here]

Dreadbox Murmux Adept #1 | Winterdagen


video upload by Winterdagen

"When I went to Synthfest UK a few months ago, I fell completely in love with the Dreadbox Murmux Adept. I tried just about every poly synth I could find out there and this was the one that instantly mesmerized me. However I thought I would never be able to get my hands on one as only 300 units have been made and they'd been long gone. Until last week, when out of the blue one popped up.

I've been head over heels for this thing the past week. I made about 40 patches and wrote 10 new pieces of music on it in a few nights, it is really that inspiring. I'll be posting some of my first explorations on it over the next few weeks and here's the first one.

For this piece I thought it'd be interesting to see if I could get a patch to start out as an ambient pad, morphing into a plucked sound. I made use of the amazing effects on it (BBD + delay), both adding quite some noise to the signal chain. The delay gets noisy at long delay times and I absolutely love the way it sounds. In fact I compressed the sound afterward to make the ever changing noise of the effects more prominent because I love it so much. Murmux can definitely sound clean as well, but I love pushing the effects to get a more noisy signal to create an intimate world of sounds."

Instruō - tràigh [Signature Edition]


video upload by Instruō

Update: DivKid video added below.

"Hello!
Jason here.
Thank you for watching this video :)

This Signature Edition limited re-release of the tràigh low-pass filter module is available for purchase direct from Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/18233...

I am producing a limited batch which will be available for purchase while stock lasts.

This revised module was developed as a creative side project over the past month or two as a means of dealing with the unfortunate situation of having a very large pet greyhound with a relatively large diagnosis of cancer.
Winston was confirmed to have a stage 2 soft cell sarcoma earlier this year. He underwent a surgery on September 24th during which the tumour was successfully removed. (He has recovered very well and quickly!)
Due to the location of the sarcoma there is a high likelihood of cancer cells remaining at a microscopic level. If left unchecked they will likely return as a tumour with a chance of metastasising.
Winston began a 4 week treatment of radiotherapy on November 4th.
As of writing this we are now past the half way point and he is responding very well with no significant side effects presenting.
Each treatment requires full general anaesthetic, so I have a very dopey boy every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the entire month of November.
The vets do provide him with some roast chicken each session when he wakes up. So he seems quite happy with his current unusual routine.

Super Synthesis is Shutting Down Dec 31 w/ Big Sale & Two New Modules


via Super Synthesis

"It is with bittersweet excitement I announce that Super Synthesis is closing Dec 31st, 2024. That will be right around 11.5 years, and it's been a total blast. I started Super when I was 23 years old making format-less kits and noise boxes instead of finishing my EE degree. I still am pretty sure that was the right move lol... ask again when I'm 120! I will keep supporting all of my modules forever, and the current lineup will live on as DIY kits from Synthcube, and as open source designs on the Super github. I'll probably keep putting new stuff there too as it gets finished, as open designs and synth education have been my goal and priority since day one.

On Jan 1, the Super store will close down for good. Until then, everything is discounted in an effort to liquidate stock. Right now your whole order is 40% off. If anything is left by the holidays, that discount will get deeper! I really just want this stuff in people's racks.

This is a good and happy thing. If anyone is curious about anything, starting or running or closing Super, it's one of my favorite things to talk about.

After this post on reddit, I sold out overnight:

'Enough people have reached out wanting to know about a final run or hidden stock that I've decided to try something that I've strictly avoided the past 11 years: a pre-order.

I totally want to do another run, but I can't justify buying stuff that may end up undoing the magic of selling out of my stock!

Between now (Friday night, 9/27) and a week from now (next Friday night, 10/4) I have enabled purchase of all modules (including two new modules that no one has ever seen!). At the end of the week, I'll shut down ordering and get everything made. It will take about 4 weeks to get boards made by robots and modules assembled by homie Matt (Matt rules), then I'll ship them all out. If this is too long, I understand! I think it's the only way I can really go about this, though. Since I'm going to start spending the money on production immediately following this 1 week period, there will be no refunds once it closes. If you need to cancel your order, make sure you reach out before then!

I have been working on a reverb and a chorus for the past couple of years. I love them, but funds and time and various things got in the way of actually releasing them. They're both kind of noisy, mono, sort of imperfect, and totally badass. I'll try to get some demos up, but at $59.40 ($99 at the 40% discount), you could just grab one or both and support j'boy! This reverb was a blast to develop. I got to learn all about vintage resource-constrained reverbs and came up with an original algorithm that is super tasty and useful. The chorus module is a little less exciting, I guess, but the delay time goes up to about 1/3 of a second so it's really just badass modulated delay. Check them both out:

https://www.supersynthesis.com/products/room
https://www.supersynthesis.com/products/chorus"


"ROOM is a simple reverb effect boasting much tasty character comprised of modulated all pass delay lines with high and low pass filters in the main feedback path.

FEEDBACK controls the overall feedback around the loop. At max, the verb will sustain nearly indefinitely.

LP and HP control the cutoff frequencies of the high-pass and low-pass filters in the main feedback path. Adjust LP for darker, danker, sounds. Adjust HP to remove boom, simulate smaller spaces, or create long twinkly sizzles.

SIZE controls the length of the internal delay lines. At minimum you get little cabinets or bathrooms, at max you get deep halls and spacious canyons.

ROOM is retro. It's kind of noisy. It is deliciously useful.

The power of stepped random voltages: create infinite textures with just thee modules


video upload by Frap Tools

"This Week Federico takes us for a tour of one of his favorite techniques: random S&H everywhere!

We will use a single S&H from Sapèl, multiply it through the 333, and patch it to many points of Brenso's complex section. Thanks to its many attenuverters, it will be possible to create a drone sound that will change its timber infinite times at every clock strike."

Exploring the 1st Buchla 100 Modular Synthesizer


video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"This video is a historical, technical, and musical deep dive into the Buchla 100 Series Modular System at the Mills College Center for Contemporary Music. This instrument was the first voltage controllable modular synthesizer built by Don Buchla—it was delivered to the San Francisco Tape Music Center in the mid-1960s.

In this video we’ll start with a brief historical overview of the Buchla 100 Series Modular System and the San Francisco Tape Music Center. Then, we’ll unpack everything that’s inside the instrument module by module. Finally, I’ll share some of the quirks of this particular instrument, and lots of patch examples to illustrate its unique voice and character.

As I was getting to know this instrument, I tried to keep in mind the circumstances surrounding its development—the people who contributed to it, the time in which it emerged, and the state of electronic music at the time of its invention. These thoughts greatly inspired my approach to working with the instrument and are present throughout this video.

It’s a rare opportunity to be able to work with a historical instrument like this one. I have always been super inspired by Buchla’s work in general, but like many people have had few opportunities to work with his original instruments. Instead, much of my experience has been through newer instruments inspired by his designs. Being able to work closely with this instrument was an incredibly inspiring and clarifying experience that allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of Buchla’s own creative and technical development, as well as the multitude of music, modern modules, and instruments that have been inspired by his work.

Special thank you to Mills College for letting us spend a week in the electronic music studio working with the Buchla 100; to The Buchla Archives and Ryan Gaston for helping to put this video together; and also to all of the amazing folks in my Patreon community for your support in helping to bring educational projects like this one to life!

"In the Spring of 2024, Reid spent a week at the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College, where she worked closely with their original Buchla 100 modular synthesizer system. This specific instrument’s historical significance can’t be overstated. It was the very first voltage controllable modular synthesizer that the now-famous artist, inventor, and electronic musical instrument designer Donald Buchla built in the mid 1960s—indeed, one of the very first modular synthesizers altogether. In its time, this specific system has been used by countless inspiring and influential musicians, such as Pauline Oliveros, Morton Subotnick, Suzanne Ciani, Warner Jepson, and others.

The video begins with a brief historical overview of the Buchla 100 Series Modular System and the San Francisco Tape Music Center. Then, Reid unpacks everything that’s inside the instrument module by module, with sound demos and examples. Finally, she shares some of the unique quirks of the Mills Buchla 100 instrument, and patch examples of how the instrument can be used to create a wide range of music and sounds."

Minimal Jam: Chance Delay & Entropic Doom - random gates, melodic noise, analogue percussion


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"A minimal jam using 2 Chance Delay modules, triggered by a sequencer clock, with the Entropic Doom to create both percussive and melodic noise-based sounds. Also a simple dual-oscillator analogue bass line using 2 Vintage Transistor Core VCOs and the Transistor Ladder Filter. Turn on Subtitles/Captions for an explanation of what's going on.

The Chance Delay generates randomness with its 'Chance' control, which determines the probability of gates occurring. It also uses its Length control to divide the frequency of the incoming clock signal - this is done by forcing the gate lengths to exceed the interval between clock pulses, and not producing further gates until the current gate cycle has finished. It also has a gate-delay function, and all three of these features can be voltage-controlled.

The Entropic Doom is a noise generator with a built-in, voltage-controlled, low-pass filter. This VCF has 2, 3 and 4-pole modes, and is resonant, producing significant self-oscillation in 4-pole mode, whilst also tracking 1V/Oct. This means it can be used melodically, extending it's usefulness beyond just noise washes or percussion. Additionally, it includes an audio input to add other signals into the pre-filter feedback loop, and it can sync it's noise frequency to an external source. To top it off it also features a CMOS ring modulator and XOR VCA, both of which can be used with or without the rest of the module. This thing can go from subtle and pretty timbres to crushing, mangled, distorted chaos.
