Joranalogue Delay-1 Sound Demo (no talking) with Knobula Monumatic, Strymon Magneto and others


video upload by Limbic Bits

0:00 Intro Performance (noise as exciter)
1:54 Delay-1 as Chorus / Phaser
2:46 Karplus Strong Synthesis
3:37 Pulse-modulated Chorus
4:30 Extreme delay settings (glitch)
5:56 Hypnotoad Drone with Noise

"Joranalogue Delay-1 is an all-analog module designed for very short delays (1–50 ms), making it perfect for applications such as chorus, flanging, comb filtering, Karplus–Strong synthesis, and more. Thanks to its flexible array of patch points, it also lends itself well to more experimental uses.

I especially liked the introduction of glitches and artifacts when feeding the delay with an external clock oscillator to enable longer delay times. Of course, a low-pass filter in the signal chain is almost mandatory in that context.

With pristine build quality, great sound, and plenty of creative options, Delay-1 is an intriguing playground for larger modular systems—or for anyone looking to explore Karplus–Strong synthesis in more depth. It works well on its own but truly shines when combined with external signals, modulation, and further processing."

"Andeby" - on Roland SH-2000, Technics SX-C600, and drums


video upload by organfairy

"'Andeby' (the Danish name for 'Duckburg') is a modern lullaby by Tommy Seebach. The title comes from the first line that goes something like "the moon shines over Duckburg" and it's basically a father who wishes for his child that she will dream of fairies, princesses, and her friends from Duckburg.

I play it on my well known combo of the Technics organ and the little Roland synthesizer, and there was also a weird drummer lurking in the dark."

Landscape Noon 1 Year Review


video upload by Bata

"It's been a little over a year of using the Landscape Fm Noon so I figured I would do a review video. There ends up being not that much reviewing done. I just show how I've been using it lately. It's very hard to remember what does what on this thing. Overall I rate the Noon at like a 1/10 or 8/10 depending on what type of synthesist you are. If the parameters for each channel were able to be CV controlled I would rate it a 9/10. It's very fun but challenging and frustrating at times. I view it as equal parts puzzle, game, and instrument. The passive nature of the machine means that you either need to use a lot of mixer/audio interface channels for the separate outs or deal with the signal robbing and channel bleed that comes with the passive mixing to main outs on the unit. As for the price of the unit I think it's somewhat overpriced as you end up needing a lot of other gear to fully use the thing. You can use it with just a 9V battery or basic CV sequencer but it really shines when used with a considerable amount of other equipment. I wouldn't recommend this to synth beginners or people who are sensitive to abrasive sounds but someone with an open mind for electronic experimentation might find it very fulfilling. Thanks for reading/watching!

Other gear used -

Akai MPC X
Cre8audio East Beast

A Demo of one of the pads in the Forthcoming OB-X8 Pack Explorations Vol.2 - Pad Name - SM Glorious (for obvious rasons)

The OB-X8 is one of the most (if not THE most) alive synths on the current market today, it absolutely shines at so many things, but Pads it is an absolute dream!

I thought I would share this with you. For me it has that perfect sizzle OB are famous for and just breathes when the cutoff filter & resonance are adjusted.

Enjoy!

AN UNEXPECTED PATH FORWARD

Labyrinth introduces a classic West Coast sound into the Mother Ecosystem experience rich analog synthesizer history in both surprising and recognizable sonic textures. Two generative sequencers bring to life sounds that bloom over time, letting you control their evolution and scale, then play them off of each other for striking polymetric melodies.

With parallel analog signal paths, this adventurous instrument shines when adding color to the steady backdrop of a drum pattern or bassline.

GENERATIVE SEQUENCER
The beating heart of Labyrinth is a robust dual sequencer, which uses chance calculations to generate two unique eight-step paths which twist and curve around one another.

SONIC WANDERING
A parallel voice processing path with a voltage-controlled blending allows you to morph sounds over time.

VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED WAVEFOLDER
A fresh interpretation of the Moog sound via a voltage-controlled wavefolder. Two oscillators drive duophonic melodic counterpoints, metallic FM tones, and analog synthetic drums.

Moog's semi-modular lineup expands to include the Labyrinth, a generative synthesizer that brings you two parallel sequencers, two oscillators, and endless possibilities. Based around a core sine VCO and a triangle Mod VCO, these sound sources have independent level controls, as well as a Ring Mod and Noise level control that all feed a saturating mixer that can add a touch or grit. From the mixer, we have the switchable option to go into a voltage controllable wave folder then into a classic Moog filter, the opposite with our filter going into the wave folder, or have both of these run in parallel.

The heart of the Labyrinth is the sequencer section. A dual 8-step sequencer gives you interactive quantized melodies that can affect various parameters, based on the labeled trimmers. These sequencers send out both notes CV and triggers and with a Trig Mix you can get rhythmic interplay that is quite satisfying. Each sequencer has a Length settings and a Bit Shift when adjusts the position of activated steps. The Bit Flip and Corrupt parameters present gives you more randomness and serendipity allowing you to create evolving patterns.

As with all of their semi-modular synths, Moog gives you access to 32 patch point patchbay with 12 outputs and 20 inputs. This gives you the option to self-patch and integrate it into your existing Eurorack ecosystem. Moog's Labyrinth is the perfect expansion to your existing system or a great starting point as an entry to modular synthesis, especially for those who are looking to get expressive rhythmic patterns quickly.

LABYRINTH FEATURES

- Parallel generative analog synthesizer

- Two oscillators, a sine-based and triangle-based

SEQUENTIAL TRIGON 6 vs OB-6 | No Talking by MeX


video upload by Synth Cloud

"Comparison Between Trigon 6 and OB-6 Synthesizers

The Trigon 6 and the OB-6 are two high-end analog synthesizers that offer unique features and distinctive sounds. The Trigon 6, produced by Sequential, is known for its three-wave oscillator and ladder filter, which provide a rich and warm sound. On the other hand, the OB-6, a collaboration between Sequential and Oberheim, utilizes a classic dual-oscillator design with a state-variable filter, offering a distinctly vintage and versatile sound.

One of the main strengths of the Trigon 6 is its versatility. Equipped with a six-voice architecture, three oscillators per voice, and a four-pole ladder filter, it is ideal for creating complex and layered sounds. The advanced modulation section allows users to experiment with various sound textures, making it perfect for genres ranging from electronic music to ambient.

The OB-6, however, shines for its simplicity and immediacy. With two oscillators per voice and an Oberheim state-variable filter, it offers a sound that is immediately recognizable and nostalgic for 80s enthusiasts. Its intuitive interface allows users to quickly create engaging sounds, making it an excellent choice for live performances and studio productions that require speed and spontaneity.

In terms of connectivity, both synthesizers are well-equipped. The Trigon 6 offers a wide range of MIDI and USB connection options, along with high-quality audio inputs and outputs, facilitating integration into any production setup. The OB-6 is no less, with a wide range of connection options including MIDI, USB, and CV/Gate, making it compatible with a variety of modern and vintage equipment.

Finally, from a design perspective, the Trigon 6 features a modern and robust look, with a user interface that facilitates quick access to various parameters. The OB-6, on the other hand, maintains a more classic and retro appearance, with clearly labeled controls and a layout reminiscent of vintage Oberheim synthesizers. Both synthesizers offer high-quality construction and are designed to last, making them solid investments for any musician or producer."

Korg Lambda ES-50

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


via this listing

"The Korg Lambda is a fully polyphonic 48-key preset synthesizer released in 1979. It features two types of sound - Percussive (Electric Piano, Clavi, Piano, Harmonics) and Ensemble (Brass, Organ, Choir, Strings I, Strings II). The Percussive sounds have a simple fast attack and variable decay envelope, and the Ensemble sounds have both preset and variable attack/release envelopes. Each key is articulated independently, so there is no note-stealing as experienced on synths limited to a handful of voices. The downside of this is the relative lack of programmability, but the presets sound good, particularly when layered (they are all available simultaneously).

The Lambda uses divide-down technology from three Top Octave oscillators to provide the basis for its sounds. The three oscillators are mixed and filtered using fixed circuits to create the preset sounds, but there are also controls on the front panel for basic low-pass filtering of the Percussive and Ensemble tones, and each section has its own volume control. There is also a control for "click" (used to add attack to the EP sound) and a filter cut-off control for the Brass sound, which has its own paraphonic filter - tuned to give a slightly resonant peak to the sound, and with its own preset filter envelope. This re-triggers on every keypress, so held notes will also be reshaped when new ones are played. In practice this is not much of a problem.

An Octave switch puts the keyboard in regular or Octave Down mode. The three oscillators can be detuned to thicken the sound further, and there is a separate analog "chorus phase" (really just a chorus) for each of the Percussive and Ensemble sections. These can be switched on/off independently but share the same sweep control, which is via the joystick on the modulation panel to the left of the keyboard. The joystick also acts as a pitch bend control. Vibrato can be switched off the Ensemble sounds. Percussive sounds feature a variable Tremolo and a Sustain switch that turns Decay into a Release.

Round the back, there are plenty of interface jacks for a synth of this type. Aside from the headphone out, the mono mix out, and the stereo outputs, there is a short-to-ground Keyboard Trigger output, a Sustain pedal input, and an Expression input jack, switchable between Percussive, Ensemble, or both.

The Lambda is a solidly-built instrument, and its large top panel is perfect for laying out some effect pedals and/or a mono-synth. Despite its preset nature, the Lambda is a more versatile synth than it might at first appear, partly due to the quality of its sound, but also the simple yet useful modulation and tone-shaping controls. It really shines through a phaser and some reverb, and is eminently playable."

V4CO+Glitch Expander by Liquid Sky D-Vices


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Product names with deliberate spelling errors are hard to find, especially when they're in a modular eurorack niche. So let me help you discover a VCO that's so BIG it almost eats a full row of HP. Since it's made to be broken, you could also use two rows. I am talking about the V4CO dual wavetable oscillator, which is a large module, and the even bigger GLITHc expander which is designed as a 'circuit bending patch panel'. When you're working with 8-bit wavetables, this is a logical choice.

This exotic combo may be for a glitch-specialized audience due to size, style and price. And yet, it's really easy to evoke music from it as well as noise. It's not a typical 259 dual VCO layout where you'll need to rely on FM. I guess you could see the V4CO combo as a twisted waveform generator with a great overdrive and a hacking panel. It works really well for fat menacing drones, even raw. But it shines with a simple filter like Ripples (FM input).

Liquid Sky sent me these units for review, which for me is like 'is it cool enough to make a video about it'. It definitely is."

Gimme Some (Kick) Drum by Blue Lantern Modules || Full Walkthrough and Sound Demo


video upload by Robots Are Red

"GSDrum, or Gimme Some Drum, or Gimme Some Kick Drum is a 10 hp drum synthesizer module. It really shines as a kick module, but can do other drum sounds such as toms or something out of the syncussion, or act as a bass synth tracking it 1v/oct. This is not a typical kick oscillator using the 'Twin T' approach, GSDrum uses a v/oct tracking triangle core VCO with an OTA based VCA. There is CV control for the trigger of course, along with v/oct tracking, Linear FM, and VCA accent inputs. The Timbre knob shapes the oscillator starting at a sine wave, to a triangle wave, all the way to an overdriven square wave. Influenced by the Korg ER-1 drum synthesizer. The accent input can simulate midi velocity or drive your sound even more. You can jump to any section of the video here: 00:00 Opening 01:03 Introduction 01:42 Walkthrough Begins 01:50 Pop 02:07 VCA Envelope 02:58 Pitch Envelope 04:05 Tune Knob 04:15 VCA Knob 05:07 Timbre Knob (Waveform morphing) 06:16 Accent Input 06:57 v/Oct Input 07:10 Linear FM Input 07:40 Feedback Patching 08:43 Kick and Drum Sounds (Minimal Talking) 10:11 v/Oct Bass Line Demo (Minimal Talking) 11:17 Accenting with Sequenced Gates (Minimal Talking) 14:25 Frequency Modulation with Sequenced Gates (Minimal Talking) Special thanks to Blue Lantern Modules for providing the modules for this video."



via Blue Lantern Reverb

"Part of the 'Gimme Some' series. Gimme Some Drum....

What does this module do?

This module is a complete mini synthesizer that specializes in making analog kick drum sounds.

This product does not use a "Twin T" approach to make it's drum kick sound. This is using an actual 1v/octave

triangle core vco, and ota based vca. The shaper circuit that converts a triangle wave into a sine wave was brought to the front panel. The shaper knob was calibrated to start its shaping at the beginning of a sine wave, and end with an overdriven square wave.

This parameter is called 'Timbre'.

This product can produce a wide variety of ultra generic analog kick drum sounds.

Influenced by the Korg ER-1 drum synthesiszer, but laid out in an analog fashion.

-toggle switches are connected to 'timing' capacitors. You can select decay legnths on the fly.

-Depth Knobs let you precisely dial in how much punch, and loudness you want.

-Accent input lets you simulate 'Midi' velocity but with a positive CV input signal. This makes the Amplifier go louder in volume.

This is basically a CV input for the VCA circuit.

-POP parameter creates a clicky sounding, short audible pulse.

All the internal circuitry was optimized for drum kick. You really can't goof up and not make a percussive sound.

All you need is a triggering signal.

Big time savings!"

"Time Intertwines,

In the morning’s chill, in the evening’s light,
Each step a stride towards hope’s height,
On the shores of the lake, where time intertwines,
Where the world’s beauty ever shines.

May the wind carry our fleeting fears away,
And may the lake whisper in our ears,
The secrets of dreams yet to be found,
On the path to tomorrow’s hallowed ground.

I hope you will enjoy this song as much as I had fun playing it."

50 Tempera Custom Patches [Bank 1] by synth_nyc





You can find hi-res demos on https://synthnyc.com

Some info on the set via synth_nyc

"As with my Kaivo custom patches, this sound bank only uses Factory Samples.

The Tempera has several workflows. I’m focussing my sound bank on having the Tempera sound generated by an external keyboard (Emitters are configured in ’Toggle’ placement mode), and also on having tonal patches.

The way Beetlecrab Audio implements granular synthesis is very interesting IMHO, it really shines in generating controlled random sounds (!), I mean it creates easily a rhythm or pattern if you’d like in the patch, but with random changes. A bit like a random ARP would do on a chord. The result is very musical IMHO. If you add that this randomness can be placed in the stereo field (L/R or Center/Middle) with some Jitter (or not). And that you can scan tracks vertically (Y) and / or several tracks horizontally (X) - up to 8 with up to 4 Emitters; the possibilities are endless.

Many of my patches scan tracks vertically (Y) only as I found that already creates a great novel soundscape, but several patches scan several tracks horizontally as well (that’s the ones with a XY suffix in the Patch Name)

It would be possible to create some of this controlled randomness if you were to use Korg Wave Sequencing 2.0 and add some randomness to each Step using the Probability parameter, but you would not be able to go as far as the Tempera.

The most interesting results IMHO are with samples that present spectral changes (across time) or temporal changes (gap, etc…) across time and with a fixed pitch. Though I’ve used some samples that had pitch changes (the FX is also interesting) and no (clear) pitch.

Lastly, unlike my experience with other synthesis where I can hear in my head the sound result before adjusting a parameter, with Beetlecrab Audio implementation of Granular Synthesis, sometimes the result is unpredictable (at least to me) but often musical."
