Patch Memory Performance #3 | Modular synth terrace jam with 4MS SMR and R*S Triple Waveshaper

video upload by djr brunstein

"Patch Memory Performance.

A modular synthesiser performance recorded on my terrace in Porto, built around the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator and the Serge Random Source Triple Waveshaper [with Play all Day's PlayFader].

This patch became something to play rather than explain, with dense cross modulation and unstable feedback paths.

Watch the companion video looking at the underlying patch structure here:"

Patch Memory #3 | Chaotic cross modulation with 4MS SMR and R*S Triple Waveshaper

video upload by djr brunstein

"Another patch exploration video, this time focusing on chaotic cross modulation between the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator and the Serge Random Source Triple Waveshaper.

This is a short overview of the patch logic rather than a full performance or a repeatable recipe. The sounds are unstable by design and difficult to reproduce exactly.

Performance audio available on Bandcamp, alongside an additional piece here:

Everything Oscillates: A closer look at the Serge Random Source Helios & Paris Flash

video upload by Bleeps and Boops

"Following up on Part 1 - • From DIY to Cult Legend: The Serge Synthes... [posted here] - here's a closer look at two of the R*S Serge 50th Anniversary Paperface panels. If you've not seen the first part yet, please do since it gives a decent background on where these came from. Any corrections or questions, please comment below: I've tried my best but there's always going to be an omission or mistake.

All the background music was made on the Serge - if I get the chance I'll upload it somewhere. It's genuinely the most productive six weeks I've ever had with one synth.

These new versions are a re-work in collaboration with Serge himself, to update and improve his original Paperface circuits. As such the oscillators track nicely over the full range, everything is stable, and overall it's better suited to life in a modern studio.

As before, an enormous thanks to ‪@serge-modular‬ for the loan of this beast.

Time to start saving I think...

As ever, thanks for watching!"

Overdubs. Two takes of a drum from the D-2000 through the R-51 VCA are overlaid, and they were processed by a small room reverb on the Alesis MIDIVERB II with the preamp overloaded. A four note sequence on the Ladik S-143 is driven by a sparse pattern on the Blue Lantern Gate Sequencer, and controls the pitch of the S-2000, which is delayed by the Peavey 1300 with a reversed reverb on the MIDIVERB II. The S-707 cowbell is delayed by the Peavey 1300, with reversed reverb. The 16th note hats are from the DSP 808 module, triggered by ALM Pamela’s New Workout. The other percussion is from the S-LD."

DIY Minimoog Inspired Synth | A Teensy Powered Tribute

video upload by Moby Pixel

"In this video, we’re building a Teensy-powered synth inspired by the iconic Minimoog Model D, and exploring what made the original design so legendary. We’ll walk through all-the-things: oscillators, mixer, filter, envelopes, hidden features, presets, the Teensy’s USB audio setup, and how Bob Moog’s Minimoog helped shape modern subtractive synthesis.

This is my biggest project to date, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! The Teensy 4.1’s built-in USB audio is sending power, MIDI, and audio over a single cable. What a time to be alive, haha! All code and build files are available on GitHub if you want to make your own. Cheers!

GitHub: https://github.com/NickCulbertson/Min...

A 6-voice polyphonic virtual analog synthesizer built with the Teensy 4.1 microcontroller, inspired by the classic Minimoog. Features comprehensive synthesis with USB audio/MIDI and intuitive menu control.

Key Features:
6-voice polyphony with 3 oscillators per voice (18 total)
6 waveforms per oscillator
Noise shared white/pink noise
24dB Moog-style ladder filter with ADSR envelopes
Independent LFO with pitch/filter/amp targets
Macro knob system - remap filter knobs to LFO controls
USB Audio + MIDI - single cable to computer
20 hardware encoders + LCD for real-time control
20 Presets - 80s Brass, Saw Keys, Bass sounds, Pads, and more
Multiple play modes - Mono, Poly, Legato with glide

2. OFFICIAL UNBOXING (2/4) - An In-depth Look at The Different Filter Types | Stylophone CPM DF-8

Part Two: An in-depth look at the different filter types of the Stylophone CPM DF-8.

MORE INFO ABOUT THE EIGHT FILTERS:

The Stylophone CPM DF-8 has two filter channels - dubbed 'The Beauty & The Beast" There are 8 Filter types per channel:

The Beauty is in our smooth, discrete analog recreation of a 2045 (24 dB/oct) Low pass filter that has been used to great effect by artists such as Massive Attack, Radiohead, and for that distinctive 90s nostalgic filter house sound synonymous with Daft Punk. The Beast is our proprietary analog GEN R-8 (12 dB/oct) filter that can snarl and howl in all modes (Low Pass, Band Pass, HP, NOTCH).

Then there are 3 additional combination types (12/24 dB/oct) with BP+, NOTCH+ and BANDSTOP+ modes for some truly unique filter sounds.

Both filter channels have all eight filter types and are controlled by two full ADSR envelopes with multiple trigger modes to cater for every need. They can be triggered by a gate signal, by an audio signal threshold, by a manual trigger button, and they can even auto-repeat in a loop mode, acting as LFOs."

The ARP Centennial Celebration continues...

via the Alan R Pearlman Foundation

"June through October were busy months for us here at the Foundation. We celebrated Alan's 100th Birthday with a whole slew of events, including a new exhibit at EMEAPP/Museum of Music Technology, and the NAMM Museum of Making Music. Arriving in the UK on September 26, we exhibited at Machina Bristronica in Bristol... we had a special raffle of a meticulously restored vintage ARP Pro Soloist, personally signed by Tony Banks, legendary keyboardist of Genesis, to benefit the Foundation... we were part of the London Synthesizer show at The Musical Museum in London, and we capped it off with visits to both The Townshend Studio and Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio. WHEW!

HALG-CD 4Mb Memory Card

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

via this eBay listing

"This card original circuit was fully developed by DoJoe - J. Fenkes and with the great community of keyboard lovers. HALG modified the mechanical, the circuit, and incorporated couple important changes:

✔ The 3 main slide switches that are on the back of the card are stronger now;
✔ The components placement are fully located inside of plastic cover to protect against ESD (electrostatic discharge)
✔ A card enclosure was designed to protect the card when you need to carry around
✔ A plastic case now fits perfectly to cover components and switches;
This memory card is a replacement for Roland’s M-128, M-256 and M-512 cards, as well as the electrically compatible Akai BR-16 and BR-32 cards. Compared to the original cards, this card has two advantages:
✔ It does not require a backup battery. It uses magnetoresistive RAM for storage rather than
regular static RAM, which is a type of RAM that can typically keep its data for twenty years
before it needs to be refreshed.
✔ A single card actually stores 16 M-128 / M-256 cards or 8 M-512 cards, which can be
accessed by a pair of convenient switch sliders at the rear end of the card.
✔ Like the original card, it also comes with a write protect switch.

"PURE FILTER SATISFACTION CPM DF-8 - Beauty & the Beast of all filters. Release date is 20th Nov - No Pre-order required."

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

"The Beauty is in our smooth, discrete analog recreation of a 2045 (24 dB/oct) LP filter that has been used to great effect by artists such as Massive Attack, Radiohead, and for that distinctive 90s nostalgic filter house sound synonymous with Daft Punk.

The Beast is our proprietary analog GEN R-8 (12 dB/oct) filter that can snarl and howl in all modes (LP, BP, HP, NOTCH).

We then decided to combine the 2045 Lowpass filter with the Highpass of the GEN R-8 to create three additional filter types, a Bandpass (BP+), a phaser-like Band Reject (BR+), and a very wide Notch filter (NOTCH+), for some truly unique filter sounds.

Both filter channels have all eight filter types and are controlled by two full ADSR envelopes with multiple trigger modes to cater for every need. They can be triggered by a gate signal, by an audio signal threshold, by a manual trigger button, and they can even auto-repeat in a loop mode, acting as LFOs.

video upload by Cfpp0

"10/29/25 ARP 1613 + Metasonix R-54 & 56 & 53 & 52 & 51 + Zerosum Inertia ZI61 & Voltage Controlled Annihilation + MFB ADSR + OAM Time Machine + Alesis MIDIVERB 2

The ARP 1613 sequencer output A controls the Metasonix R-52 sweep CV in, which creates the high resonant rasp on the reversed quarter notes. The R-52 runs into the R-53, which adds the pitch to the R-52 rasp, then through the R-51, controlled by the MFB dual ADSR, gated by the ARP 1613 gate bus 3. This signal goes through the R-56 for more distortion and spring reverb—panned center on the Mackie Onyx 1640, with stereo room reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. Meanwhile, the more mechanical-sounding squawk/chirp/scream loop is the ARP 1613 quantized output B controlling the pitch of the R-54, which runs through the Zerosum Inertia Voltage Controlled Annihilation, which runs through the Zerosum ZI61, high is controlled by the MFB dual ADSR, gated by the ARP 1613 gate bus 3. The ZI61 is panned left on the Mackie, but it also feeds the OAM Time Machine delay, which is panned center on the Mackie.
