Levitate Expansion synth from Synamodec

video upload by Synamodec

"Hi everyone, this is the Levitate Expansion synth from Synamodec.
The Synamodec Levitate Expansion is a massively upgraded version of the original standalone desktop synthesizer. While the standard Levitate primarily consisted of just three simplified blocks (Legus, Neura, and the Nxpctd delay), the Expansion turns the machine into a deep semi-modular instrument by adding the following new modules, expanded sections, and dedicated processing blocks: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

1. New Sound & Modulation Modules
• "Crazy" Module: An entirely new, dedicated noise/sound generator designed for extra sonic chaos, which includes its own LFO and EQ controls. [1, 2]
• 6 LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators): The standard edition had highly limited internal modulation. The expansion adds 6 independent LFOs distributed across the modules (e.g., inside Legus, Crazy, the VCFs, and the Phaser/Delay) to dynamically modulate parameters. [1, 2, 3]
• VCA & Dedicated Envelope Generator: A full Voltage Controlled Amplifier accompanied by a dedicated ADSR/Envelope generator and a Gate/Trigger output for syncing with external hardware. [1]

2. New Audio Processing & Effects Blocks
• Dual VCF (Voltage Controlled Filters): Two filters designed exclusively for this edition with individual level controls for external inputs, high-pass (HP) and band-pass (BP) outputs.
• Phaser / Delay: Replaces the basic delay block with an advanced Phaser/Delay unit capable of extensive CV modulation.
• Dedicated Fuzz & Distortion: Two distinct, independent analog overdrive circuits allowing you to grit up your signals separately.
• 6-Band EQ / Filter: A fixed frequency equalizer section to shape the tone of your mix.
• Master Mixer: A comprehensive mixing stage featuring physical levels and a lever to blend pure audio signals with heavily processed ones. [1, 2, 3]

3. Expanded Features on Existing Blocks
• Legus Expanded: Upgraded with an extra exterior output, an external audio input, and 2 integrated CV inputs.
• Neura Expanded: Boosted into a Triple Oscillator setup featuring an increased count of signal generators and a dedicated external output. [1, 2]

4. Eurorack Patch Points
Unlike the standalone standard unit, the Expansion adds a vast matrix of external CV inputs and outputs. This allows every module to cross-patch internally or interact seamlessly with external Eurorack gear.

If you're interested, send me a message and we can chat. It’s on sale throughout October. miguel@synamodec.com"

Press release follows:

Synthetic Sound Labs announces Wave Oracle™, a multi-function signal visualization and learning instrument designed specifically for modular synthesizers. See and explore your sounds.

Wave Oracle™ combines oscilloscope, XY, spectrum analysis, tuning, metering, audio-responsive visualization and integrated learning functions in a single module. Four signal inputs allow several points in a synthesizer patch to remain connected simultaneously, with channel selection available within applicable modes.

Wave Oracle™ is designed to be easy to learn and use, without requiring a background in electronics or test equipment.

SCOPE
Wave Oracle™ can display signals from oscillators, envelopes, LFOs, modulation and complete voices.

The oscilloscope views these as voltage changing over time, revealing the actual shape and timing of a signal. Laboratory-style adjustable timebases, vertical scaling, positioning and triggering allow visualization and measurement of up to four independent synth signals at once.

XY
Plots two signals against one another to display phase and frequency relationships, modulation and Lissajous figures. XY uses Channels 1 and 2 as its X and Y signal sources.

FFT
Where SCOPE shows voltage over time, Wave Oracle™’s FFT modes reveal frequency content and how it changes over time. Multiple spectrum displays provide different views of fundamentals, harmonics, noise, filter response and the evolving spectral content of complex sounds and complete voices.

Automatic and manual display scaling accommodate signals ranging from individual oscillators to dynamic musical material.

TUNER
Measures frequency and musical pitch for oscillator tuning, matching pitches and checking oscillator tracking.

"The 20CC TXX-1 Spectron is a Eurorack format dual oscillator inspired by vintage analog multisampling instruments such as the Mellotron, Chamberlin, and Optigan. Spectron uses a unique combination of synthesis and sampling techniques to bring the rich, warbly sounds of these classic instruments into Eurorack for the first time, while also offering new possibilities to manipulate, warp, and mangle them.

Analog multisampled instruments had their hey-day in the 1950's through the 1970's. They used analog recording technology - tape recording in the case of the Mellotron and Chamberlin, and optical sound printing on analog photographic film in the case of the Optigan. Each key corresponded to a recording of a note played on another instrument, often orchestral sounds like strings, woodwinds or choirs, which would play back when the key was pressed. All of Spectron’s sounds are based around full, per-key recordings of vintage multisampled instruments.

Rather than simply triggering discrete samples, Spectron organizes many samples to create the illusion of a continuous voltage-controlled oscillator. As pitch changes, playback seamlessly transitions between recordings, preserving the character of each original tape while allowing smooth, continuous frequency control.

There are two assignable timbre shaping sections not normally found on sample-based instruments: FM and Sync. These are tuned to range from subtle modulations that recontextualize familiar sounds, through radical transformations that are barely recognizable, and all the way to harsh and clangorous, with continuous CV control of all points between."

CYMBAL

Sound is synthesized by a system of oscillators based on Schmitt triggers, that recreates the classic, complex sound of an analog cymbal. The sound is synthesized by a system of oscillators based on Schmitt triggers, operating at different frequencies. The mixing of these signals creates the rich, chaotic, and metallic spectrum.

You have direct control over the resulting texture. The TUNE knob shifts the overall frequency range of the metallic noise, while DECAY sets the length of the sound's wash and sizzle. The TONE control further shapes the character of the ringing, allowing you to fine-tune the brightness and timbre. This combination of controls lets you sculpt everything from a short, bright metallic click to a long, decaying noise.

For dynamic performance, the module features an ACC input (0V to +5V) to modulate the accent level and is triggered via the standard GATE input (+5V to +12V). The final, complex cymbal sound is available at the OUT jack.

VAV N-Wave: Middle-Out Waveshaper

video upload by Magical Synth Adventure

"Join me as I take the @control_voltage VAV N-Wave Middle-Out Waveshaper for a spin!

The N-Wave is a really imaginative waveshaper. Some waveshapers might fold over the peaks of an incoming waveform, some might rectify them - squaring things off like a fuzz pedal. N-wave keeps the peaks of waveform - like the top and bottom of a saw wave - intact, and instead lets you shape and turn up on the volume on a section in the middle of the waveform - leading to unique tones. This is especially true, as you can vary the width of this middle section!"

video uploads by control_voltage

Playlist:

1. VAV N-Wave: Step Sequenced Threshold

One fun live performance (or studio) use for the N-Wave is to connect a Step Sequencer on the Threshold CV and generate different timbres for each step in a sequence. These act as accents and add a lot of life and feel to your sequences and the feel can easily be changed on the fly using something like a Joranalogue Step 8 as your source of steps.

2. VAV N-Wave: Threshold Ring Modulation

In Part 2 of the VAV N-Wave Video Manual, we look at using the threshold control and bipolar vca cv to create new waveforms that have a mixture of normal and ring modulated (quadrature) segments.

3. VAV N-Wave Mangles a Triangle

Here, the N-Wave does quite a number on an unsuspecting triangle wave with the help of some nearby modules. N-Wave is kind of like that one kid's house where everyone hung out and cooked up weird DnD campaigns or something. But for modular signals.

"N-Wave is a novel waveshaper for the Eurorack modular format. Unlike traditional wavefolders and clippers, which operate on the peaks of a waveform, N-Wave leaves peaks intact. All you need to expand your sound palette greatly is a VCO signal and a few twists of the knobs!

Using its internal bipolar VCA (aka four quadrant multiplier, aaka ring modulator) you can apply gain reduction and polarity inversion to an inner portion of the wave slope that you define with the THRESHOLD and OFFSET controls.

All functions can also be controlled via control voltage inputs. LFOs, Audio Rate VCOs, ADSR Envelopes, 1V/Oct signals, sequenced voltages, sample and hold signals, noise, and sub octave signals are all very good choices and can produce results ranging from very musical to very strange. An external detector signal can also be applied if you don't want to trigger the detector on the waveform you're modifying.

If you like, you can also use N-Wave as a high quality bipolar VCA, attenuverter, or ring modulator with the THRESHOLD set to maximum and dynamically mute the effect by applying 0V or a negative voltage to the threshold either using a sequencer or manual control, which allows for hocketing and rhythmic effects.

N-Wave can also operate all the way down to 0hz (DC), so, in addition to audio, it can process LFOs, envelopes, 1V/octave sequences, and any other signal that varies amplitude over time (Sorry, square waves and pulse waves. Your super-sonic rise times are hard to shape in an audible way, but you do work well as control signals).

N-Wave is 10HP and uses Burr Brown op amps for the primary signal path alongside high quality Texas Instruments ICs that are carefully chosen to best fit their roles in the circuit."

9/7/26 (triple VCF test) EML 200 + acVOKS VCF + muSonics + STG + FSFX + Corsynth + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"9/7/26 (triple VCF test) EML 200 + Analog Craftsman acVOKS VCF + muSonics Vanilla Envelope & Vanilla Filter + STG soundlabs Sea Devil’s Filter + FSFX Lopass Gate & Dual Trigger Processor + Corsynth Frequency Divider / Multiplier + CXM 1978

Sometimes the camera won’t focus, not sure why. We ordered a second Analog Craftsman acVOKS VCF and this was a test of how three of our 5U filters sound together with the ElectroComp EML 200. I like how old it all sounds. And I like the limitations of the EML 200, but just wish it had voltage-controllable filters. The two EML 200 sawtooth VCOs are running through the acVOKS VCF (Polivoks), the STG soundlabs Sea Devil’s Filter (Synthi), and the muSonics Vanilla Filter (Oberheim). VCO1 runs through the Vanilla Envelope, modulated by the right LFO on the Free State FX dual trigger processor (in dual LFO mode). The EML master triangle and both of the FSFX LFOs are modulating all the filters. The EML VCO2 runs through the EML VCA, modulated by the master triangle, and then into the acVOKS VCF, which is modulated by a copy of the FSFX right LFO. The acVOKS VCF audio lowpass output is panned left on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer. The acVOKS bandpass audio output is modulating the Vanilla Filter, which is panned right. The Vanilla Filter is also modulated by the left FSFX LFO and the EML master triangle. The EML VCA processing VCO2 also runs through the Corsynth Frequency Divider / Multiplier, and that is sent to the FM input on the Sea Devil’s Filter, which is filtering the EML VCO2 gated by the FSFX Lopass Gate, modulated by the EML master square. The master square is also controlling the pulse for the EML sampler. At first the EML sampler is fed noise, then later it’s fed VCO2 for the S&H modulating VCO1 on the EML 200. The reverb was blended on the CXM 1978."

MEMORYTONE: THEY CALLED IT MAGIC.

MemoryTone is XILS-lab’s exploration of one of analogue synthesis’s most ambitious instruments — a sixteen-voice polyphonic architecture built around three oscillators per voice and a 24 dB/octave self-oscillating ladder filter.

With eighteen oscillators across sixteen voices, combinable waveforms, oscillator sync, pulse-width control and a deeply interactive signal path, its character begins long before effects enter the picture. Oscillators interact. Levels influence behaviour. Voices move. The filter responds to everything that came before it.

"A journey through time, space, and analog synthesis. 🌀

The original Doctor Who theme (1963) remains one of the most extraordinary pieces of electronic music ever made for television. Pioneer Delia Derbyshire constructed its otherworldly sound through tape manipulation, oscillators, filters, recorded tones, and painstaking editing, transforming the score into something that seemed to arrive from another dimension.

For this version, electronic musician Lorna Dune turned to the Dreadbox Erebus: an analog paraphonic synthesizer whose oscillators, filter, modulation, and wonderfully unruly character felt right at home in the strange sonic universe Derbyshire helped create.

OAM's Patience - A Eurorack LFO Module With a Cycle Rate That Can be Set for Decades

Folding & Unfolding Sine Waves w/ Patience and XPO video upload by Olivia Artz Modular



via Kickstarter

"Patience is an LFO that allows you to set the duration of a change in terms of seconds, minutes, hours, days, month, years, or decades.

Our thinking

Eurorack is widely considered to be an esoteric and expensive way to make music. That’s one framing. Another framing is that Eurorack is a mid-90s platform for modular electronic art that lasted. VRML came and went. RSS flourished and rescinded. Web pages don’t really use HTML anymore. But Eurorack is still. It is a time-tested and community-driven foundation for building conceptual art. For installation art. For slow art. In these contexts the modules that you already have can transform in meaning.

For instance, a clock divider may be used for tracking musical time and for building up musical rhythms. But if your clock divider has primes as an option and you trigger it once a day, the 7’s output will give you a pulse a week. Suddenly you’re patch-programming a calendar. You’re now keeping track of time on the scale of years. You’ve moved from the music of humans to the music of the seasons.

This is where Patience comes in. To help your patches operate at these time scales we made an LFO capable of making a single modulation over the course of hours, days, months, years, or even decades.

Why me
For more than twenty-five years I’ve been studying, designing, and programming systems for slow sound art. Under Pauline Oliveros I studied and practiced deep listening. I worked with Seth Cluett on glacial multi-channel performance systems. I’ve cared deeply about slow art my entire life. Patience is an expression of this and I will give it everything I have.

Why Kickstarter
If we know up front that we have guaranteed orders for Patience we can afford to dedicate the time that this idea deserves. Refining the design, circuitry, software, and assembly process. This is the only way we can foresee making the best possible version of Patience, so here we are.

Polysynthi Loops

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Here's a happy/sad tune on the ultra rare and quite exquisite EMS Polysynthi. Maybe only about 30 of these synthesisers were ever made, and probably just a handful are left in the wild. It came out in 1978 to rave reviews (https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/em...) but then disappeared in spectacular fashion when other polysynths came to market around the same time (Prophet 5, Korg PS3100, Yamaha CS80, Polymoog, Roland Jupiter 4), most of which had huge corporate advertising budgets behind them. But the EMS had a number of unique things going for it, such as 49 note polyphony (albeit sharing one filter / VCA -- it is essentially paraphonic, like the Polymoog), 2 LFOs with a clever routing system, pressure sensitive keyboard, and a voltage controlled analogue delay section. But above all, it has a totally "of-its-time" sound like no other synth I know - it creates instant late-70s happy/sad tones like nothing else in my studio. And the other thing - JUST LOOK AT IT

This is a live performance using the Polysynthi and the Concrete Box (stereo loopers) to layer up multiple passes of melodies

As always, thanks for watching, and enjoy the tones"

How Recorded Sound Became an Instrument | Voltage Labs

video upload by Voltage Labs

"Sampling changed the way music could be made.

What began with tape loops and musique concrète evolved through machines like the Fairlight CMI, SP-1200, Akai S950, MPC and ASR-10: each introducing new limitations, new workflows and, eventually, entirely new musical languages.

From hip-hop and jungle to French house, microhouse and experimental electronics, producers learned to treat recorded sound not as something fixed, but as raw material.

This video traces how the sampler became an instrument and how chopping, pitching, looping, resampling and microsampling reshaped electronic music."

This Eurorack filter has AUTO DYNAMICS! // Flow 3 from Joranalogue *MEGA DEMO*

video upload by DivKid and Joranalogue Audio Design

"As we'd expect from Joranalogue, they take inspiration from classic, seemingly simple functions and turn them into musical and technically impressive devices. Flow 3 is a compact filter that builds upon on the idea of an auto wah, it's a filter with 'auto dynamics'. There's on board modulation, that can modulate itself or your modular system, stave variable filter outputs, CV over everything and an easy to play with layout in 6HP."

Update: Press release follows:

Joranalogue Audio Design announces availability of Flow 3 auto-dynamic filter module for Eurorack that sounds bigger than it looks

STEKENE, BELGIUM: having made its impressive-sounding debut during a showcase at SUPERBOOTH26, May 7-9, FEZ-Berlin, Germany, high-quality Eurorack music synthesiser modules-maker Joranalogue Audio Design is proud to announce availability of Flow 3 — an auto-dynamic filter that sounds bigger than it looks, thanks to the novel variation on the classic state variable filter topology that lies behind its compact 6 HP panel — as of August 25…

Firstly, Flow 3’s core integrator saturation of its simultaneous — low-pass (LP2), attenuates frequencies above the filter frequency (or cutoff) at -12 dB/octave and self-oscillates at a phase of 180°; bandpass (BP2), selects a band of frequencies around the filter frequency (but below and above that the attenuation slope is -6 dB) and self-oscillates at a phase of 90°; and high-pass (HP2), attenuates frequencies below the filter frequency at -12 dB/octave and self-oscillates at a phase of 0° — outputs provide for a sound that is clean yet distinctive.

RESONANCE response is exceptionally smooth — it, too, can easily reach self-oscillation (at higher feedback levels), the temperature compensation and exact calibration effectively transforming Flow 3 into a reliable quadrature sine/cosine VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) with tight pitch tracking.

The ace up Flow 3’s sleeve, however, lies in its auto-dynamic nature — helpfully highlighted by the non-erasable AUTO DYNAMIC FILTER graphic positioned across that compact, clean-cut 6 HP panel. After all, it is a filter that can modulate itself, achieved by a combined DECAY generator/envelope follower circuit controlling the filter frequency over an adjustable range; either fire decay envelopes from external triggers, or flip it to AUTO mode to follow along with the incoming signal’s amplitude envelope (or both, simultaneously).

Saying all that, then, creating heavy-hitting analogue kick drum sounds becomes a breeze, but, with a bit of patching, Flow 3 can even be used as a spectrum splitter (or crossover), cleanly separating the full audio range into low and high portions, for dual-band signal processing — perfectly possible thanks to the Linkwitz-Riley filter response at minimum resonance.

Ultimately, users of Flow 3 can clearly get carried away as the Eurorack module concerned creatively takes the old auto-filter concept to new voltage-controlled heights, hearing for themselves exactly what the fuss was all about at that impressive-sounding SUPERBOOTH26 showcase!

Coming complete with a 16-to-10-pin Eurorack power cable, two black M3 x 6 mm hex screws, two black nylon washers, and a hex key, Flow 3 is available as a 6 HP module — measuring 128.5 mm (H) x 30 mm (W) x 52 mm (D) with a +12 V: 45 mA/-12 V: 45 mA maximum current draw, reverse polarity (MOSFET) power protection, 100 kΩ impedance inputs and 0 Ω (compensated) impedance outputs — through Joranalogue Audio Design’s growing global network of authorised dealers at a MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of €215.00 EUR or $225.00 USD.

Ambient Live Patch | 4 Tiptop Audio & Buchla Modules

video upload by A Last Picture From Voyager

"Time to play live with the 4 first modules I bought from the Tiptop Audio & Buchla eurorack series. Before getting these modules, I owned a hybrid setup made from analog and digital modules with lots of functionality (sometimes hidden), and I wanted to go back to the roots of sound synthesis. The Buchla philosophy was the one closest to my ambient experimental mood, so I went for it.

The 245t sequences voltages, the 258t generates the tones, the 266t adds unpredictability, and the 292t shapes it all into something organic. No computer, no external sequencer — just four modules and patch cables, breathing together.

I'll explain in detail all the reasons behind this choice on Patreon soon. For now, let's listen to a little piece of modular synthesis ambient music.

Modules used:

• ‪@tiptop-audio‬ & Buchla 245t (Sequential Voltage Source)
• Tiptop Audio & Buchla 258t (Dual Oscillator)
• Tiptop Audio & Buchla 266t (Source of Uncertainty)
