INORI by SERGE Modular - 10 Patches

video upload by Stazma

"After the walktrhough of the panel a few weeks ago, we go back to the INORI panel, this time for ten short pieces, to give you a idea of it's sonic range.

Spoiler alert: it's HUGE.

I've used some occasional modules from the MANTRA panel below, usualy the Sequencer.

PS: when you see some vibration on the screen during the video it's not an effect that I add, it's the bass that shake my camera stand ;-)

Have fun!"

SERGE Mantra II Tantra - 15 Sound Impressions

video upload by Serge Modular | Random*Source

"Serge MANTRA II + TANTRA - is this the ultimate 2 panel Serge combination?

MANTRA II is the latest generation of MANTRA - it combines Sequencing with some of Serge's signature modules in the latest incarnation (6th gen): GTO (successor to the Smooth&Stepped Generator), GTS (successor to the Dual Universal Slope Generator), Variable Q Filter+ (more inputs, processor for resonance).

TANTRA was designed as an ideal companion for MANTRA (II) - Rhythm, the voltage controlled divider (÷N) and the Pulse Divider. A number of utility functions (Mix Pro, Active Pro+ = ring modulation!, Mixer), an additional pair of slopes (GTS), the middle section of the classic Wave Multipliers, the brand new Serge VCFX filter plus an XFader as an additional output module (for stereo output).

Here are 15 patches - using only MANTRA II + TANTRA (and occasionally some reverb) - that aim to show the sonic range:

00:00 INTRO / WHITE LIGHT
04:33 OBLIVION APPEASED
07:31 TOXIC FRIES
09:22 CAPTAIN FUTURE
11:36 A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
12:33 TIME CAPSULE 5
14:44 LBVFJVLEYÖR
17:01 GESANG DER SCHWÄCHLINGE
18:59 NIPPON YUSEI KOSHA
19:50 MILAN TO MARSEILLE
22:19 SUMMER BLISS
25:01 DEATH OF A CHIP
26:25 THE TUNNEL
29:35 MELANCHOLIA
31:37 BONUS: KERNKRAFT"

Serge Inori meet a RE-150 Space Echo

video upload by Stazma

"Yesterday I received my new Inori Serge panel, mounted together with the Mantra I had for years AND I found a second hand Space Echo at a 20 minutes drive from my house.

This was clearly destiny and I had to make a proper Analordish jam with these two (880 by System 80 on the beat and syncing the Serge).

Have fun!"

SERGE Modular Synthesizer MANTRA II Panel

video upload by fonitronik

"Sitting at the garden table playing the SERGE Modular/R*S MANTRA II panel. It is great what one can do with just one panel. One of the great things of the new slopes (GTO, GTS) is that they are VERY stable. And everything is exactly in tune after turning it on again after a few days. You will love it."

Today i'll go with you on a guided tour of one of my (if not THE) favorite modular synthesizer in my collection: the Serge modular Mantra & TKB panel by Random*Source

@serge-modular

The Mantra is meant as a perfect intro to the world of Serge in 4U size (not eurorack format), and the TKB is a powerhouse of sequencing and interactive control. I'll just scratch the surface of what's possible with this combo but at least it should give you an idea of how you could use these.

Have fun!"

John DuVal - Cassiopeia's Playground (2008)

"Earth Mantra is proud to bring you the long-awaited new release by reknowned analog synthesizer guru and electronic musician John DuVal.

For those who might not be familiar, John is the one-time owner of one of the largest Serge analog modular systems ever assembled, a system nicknamed Fist of God. We have seen pictures of this beast, and believe us when we say that the name is completely appropriate. John is widely regarded, both for his 2003 seminal analog modular epic entitled Hell's Canyon, which is very nearly the textbook example of a perfect analog modular sound painting, as well as for his work with ambient supergroup Dweller At The Threshold, and for his own solo music before that."
