12/17/25 Zerosum Inertia ZI54 + Trogotronic 676 + RYK 185 (System 100m) + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"A little montage of three horrendous fanfares while testing power supplies. The Monorocket Mission6 case has been emptied and the Zerosum Inertia ZI54 and Metasonix RKP have been moved to the racks, where the Moog Subharmonicon used to be installed. We almost sold the amazing Trogotronic 676 and two 11 VCA controllers, but they’re staying. Those, plus a Zerosum Inertia 6AS6 Signal Combiner, have been added to the same rack, as they all sound great with the Roland System 100m. There is also a Doepfer Quantizer, mainly for the Roland 182 sequencer we got recently. The reverb is from the MIDIVERB II."

"This bundle of three of Moog's semi-modular synths, DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother), MOTHER32, SUBHARMONICON was specially packaged by the company as a great starter for beginners and professional musicians wanting to get into the modular synth world. This set is beautifully boxed, and shows the love that Moog puts into its products. I have used the synths, but never used or pinned up the posters, sticker or cut outs. They are all untouched. I did play with the patch exploration cards that helped me to learn modular patching to a better extent (Still a full deck).

Moog has discontinued this package, much to the disappointment of many Moog fans. You can still buy the modules separately, but without all the extras that make this set so much fun.

CONTENTS: Moog Sound Studio’s full bundle comes with a three tiered rack with a cable rack that can be attached to store patch cables, custom dust cover, audio mixer, patch book and cables. Other items in the package contain a synth exploration card game and custom artwork by Moog, a Moog screwdriver and Moog pouch for the cables, MIDI patch cable to patch to outboard midi keyboards. I'm adding extra patch cables that weren't in the original purchase" + "'skins' or layovers mimicking the original Moog Matriarch colors which I'm including in the package."

FALL - Ambient Synth Jam #22 // Pro3, Subharmonicon, Arbhar, Panharmonium

video upload by David Falcon

"I felt like I needed a change in the setup to spice things up a bit, so it was time to learn how to use the CV ins and outs on my Sequential Pro3, since I've never learned to use them.
Here I am sending gates to Arbhar to trigger a sample, as well as clocking the whole system with LFO 3. Nothing crazy so far, taking baby steps. This arrangement arised so I had to hit record and see where it was taking me.
Abrhar goes into the latest addition to my rack which is the Rossum Panharmonium. It is generating synth notes from the sampled strings in Arbhar.

At the begginning I am improvising with the Nord Felt Piano on top of the Arbhar, and then slowly bring the other elements into the mix.

Subharmonicon is doing some long chords, feeding into Meris Polymoon for delay/reverb with some phaser. This pedal is amazing with synths specially.

The Pro3 is doing a sequence that gives the rhythmic context to the rest.

Hope you like it. Looking forward to explore this setup further.

// Patch notes //
Pro 3 - Clock and gates. Pluck sequence.
Subharmonicon - Chords, into Meris Polymoon.
Arbhar - Drone sample, triggered from Pro3. Into Panharmonium for subtle resynthesis.
Nord Electro - Felt Piano and Hammond Organ.

Pics and details via Perfect Circuit

The Solarfaze from Vongon is a stereo 3-band saturator and detune/chorus pedal that gives you exacting control over the frequency landscape of your signal. Whether you're adding a bit of undulatory warmth and saturation or assaulting the frequency spectra of your choice, Solarfaze as you covered, often surprising you with its tonal complexity. The heart of the pedal is a 3-band Bass, Mid, and Treble saturation mixer with each section offering three levels of gain: Soft, Boost, and Hard. Each band can be finetuned to one of five different frequencies, making this pedal as versatile as you are.

The Detune section offers a simple interface for adding movement and interest to your signal, affecting the stereo field, as well for a satisfying binaural experience. Adjust the Amount and Mix to your taste and turn up the Envelope control for dynamic expression that is based on your playing. Size can be adjusted as well to create a smoother or tighter detune effect. Other features include a built-in Noise Gate and an effect rerouting option. Indeed, the Solarfaze is a wonderful addition to the already incredibly Vongon lineup and is sure to find a use in any pedalboard.

SOLARFAZE FEATURES

Stereo multi-band saturator and chorus
Soft-clipping waveshapers for smooth transition from subtle warmth to heavy breakup
Bass, Mid, and Treble drive sliders
Selectable gain level per band: Soft (0dB), Boost (+6dB), Hard (+12dB)
Each band has 5 different frequency options
Stereo detune chorus with independent left/right pitch shifts
Envelope modulation of detune amount for dynamic stereo animation
Route Saturation into Detune and vice versa
Built-in Noise Gate with adjustable threshold
MIDI Input for parameter control and 9 preset storage

Generative Patches: DFAM+Mother-32+Subharmonicon. Jam Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

📚 DMS Generative is a collection of 25 patches for the semi-modular system Moog Sound Studio: DFAM + Mother-32 + Subharmonicon. This genre of sound design is highly popular within modular culture, and the Moog Sound Studio offers an excellent feature set to explore it.
🎛 Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo shifts, pattern uniqueness, the alternation of short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, and glitchy bursts throughout sequences — all of these elements are part of the soundset.
🎚 Generative timbres can serve as a strong addition to, or the main element of, ambient or techno tracks, jams, and performances. You can also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice them into one-shots or loops, and obtain unique material for further processing.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/moog...

🕹 The key idea behind the soundset is a high level of interconnection. In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are intertwined — they cannot exist independently:
🔹 They modulate each other with LFOs and envelopes.
🔹 A sequence from one synth may change parameters on another.
🔹 Trigger interactions, clock/rhythm, and run/stop modulations break predictable patterns.
🔹 Audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies, intervals, or wild experimental inharmonic tones.
🔹 Alternatively, they can be used as audio sources routed into another synth to be processed through its unique filter and envelope — giving the signal a “second life.”
DFAM, M32, and SUBH each play distinct and defined roles — it’s not a sound mess, but a tightly integrated system where the synths work in close cooperation.

Subboom 💥 (Moog Subharmonicon + Microtubes X + Bigsky // Cre8audio Boom Chick + Lethargy + H90)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"This is my second jam featuring the Boom Chick 5-voice analog drum machine 🥁
Digging a little bit further this time by using 2 patterns (with chance/probability etc.) and its handy individual outputs going through some pedals (Dreadbox Lethargy Phaser + Eventide H90 Vintage Delay and Plate Reverb)!

So the Boom Chick is playing all the drum parts and the Subhamonicon the harmonic parts (BASS & ARP/LEAD). The Subharmonicon is synced to the Boom Chick with its analog clock.

The challenge here was mainly to try to get out of the 4-step sequences inherent to the Subharmonicon 😉
So I changed in real-time one of the knobs of the sequencer to play random melodies, and used another method by turning the FREQ knob of VCO 2.

Still haven't really read the Boom Chick's manual though (just had to dig into it to better understand how "chance" worked exactly)."

Spectravox and Subharmonicon | Non-Standard Filter Bank Modulation

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we combine Subharmonicon and Spectravox together to get fascinating and unorthodox spectral modulation.

We begin by creating a sequence using Subharmonicon’s dual sequencer, polyrhythmic movement, and VCO 1. We then send VCO 1 to Spectravox’s carrier input to shape that VCO using Spectravox’s ten filters. Turning the levels of all but filter one on Spectravox down give us a traditional lowpass filter subtractive synthesis architecture, and an envelope set to SHIFT will open that lowpass filter. Subhamonicon’s two envelopes and Spectravox’s single envelope can be used to create dynamic movement in our filter bank, but more unorthodox modulation can be achieved using Subharmonicon’s four sub-oscillators. These sub-oscillators are not syncronized with our sequencer movement, giving rise to interesting interference patterns in our resulting spectrum."

WISP - Granular Ambient Modular #17 // Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Mojave, Rhodes

video upload by David Falcon

"noun /wɪsp/
a delicate, thin, and sometimes twisting piece or line of something

Me apetecía algo relajante así que hice una pieza para mí mismo. La idea parte sampleando en el @instruo Arbhar: Rhodes, Piano, Vibráfono, Acordeón, Synth bass y Cuerdas. En mi experiencia, este módulo funciona mejor cuando se samplean frases para luego recorrerlas con su motor en lugar de notas individuales. Lleva a sorpresas y texturas interesantes. En esta jam solo utilicé el vibráfono y el rhodes.

La textura aguda, parecida a una voz, soy yo mismo cantando al micro del @QuBitElectronix Mojave y fijando el búfer. Fui editando el módulo hasta hacerlo funcionar en el tema. La línea de bajo nace en el @MoogSynthesizers Subarmonicon y lo envié al @ShakmatModular Dual Dagger para controlar la dinámica.
En el @WeAreElektron Analog Four añado un Kick, Hi-Hat y dos líneas simples en las frecuencias agudas. También improviso con el Nord con un sonido Rhodes en algunas partes a tiempo real (no he podido montar el vídeo que he hecho en el móvil de esta parte por algun motivo en Davinci Resolve)

Gracias por estar al otro lado!

(eng)
I was in the mood for a relaxing piece so I made one for myself! It started by sampling some new sounds into Arbhar. Rhodes, Piano, Vibraphone, Accordion, Synth bass and Strings. In my experience this module works best when sampling phrases to then sweep around with its engine instead of single notes. It leads to more happy accidents and interesting textures. In this jam only the vibraphone and some rhodes was used.

The high texture vocal-like sound is myself singing into Mojave and locking the buffer. I tweaked the module until I found something that worked. It was mixed with a bass line in the subharmonicon and sent to the Dual Dagger to control the dynamics of the song.
Lastly the Analog Four is adding Kick, Hi-Hat and two simple lines on top. I also improvise with a Nord Rhodes sound on top in some of the parts."

Spectravox and DFAM | Advanced Physical Modeling

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we explore the principles of physical modeling synthesis using DFAM and Spectravox.

We begin with a summary of physical modeling synthesis. Physical modeling models an excitation signal (the isolated sound of a finger hitting a drum head, a pick plucking a guitar sting, a bow bowing a cello string) and a resonating body (a drum, a wooden block, a string coupled with a wooden body, etc.). Excitation signals are usually very short sounds full of harmonics and noise – we use DFAM to sculpt a broadband signal with lots of internal dynamics using DFAM’s three envelopes. Spectravox’s ten resonant filters with individual level control are then used to model a resonating body. DFAM’s velocity sequencer further allows us to create a sequence with harder or softer drum hits, while its pitch sequencer can move Spectravox’s filters via the SHIFT input for fascinating tonal changes."

Labyrinth and Subharmonicon | Tangled Transpositions

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we tie Labyrinth and Subharmonicon’s sequencers together for tangled transpositional movement.

We begin by mixing the VCA outputs of each instrument using Labyrinth’s utility mixer. We then show how to quantize Subharmonicon’s two sequencers to generate sequences of octaves and then add those sequences to Labyrinth’s two sequencers to generate polyrhythmic octave transpositions. Labyrinth’s voice is sequenced by Labyrinth SEQ 1 and transposed by Subharmonicon SEQ 2 while Subharmonicon’s voice is sequenced by Labyrinth SEQ 2 and transposed by Subharmoncon SEQ 1. With Labyrinth’s quantizer set to Hirajoshi pentatonic scaling octave transpositions from Subharmonicon work well regardless of western tonality. Using more traditional western scales from Labyrinth we can set the steps of Subharmonicon to values other than octaves (e.g. perfect fourths/fifths) provided we stay in key."

HEAL - Electronica #15 // Analog Four, Octatrack, Modular, Subharmonicon and Electric Guitar

video upload by David Falcon

"Estos últimos días necesitaba un rato para hacer música sin mayores pretensiones. La creación de este tema ha sido terapéutico para mí y de ahí el nombre.

Estoy cada vez más cómodo con este setup. He añadido una pedalera Harley Benton Spaceship 80 para tener todos los cables ordenados y recogidos, salvo los del modular por supuesto. Así puedo llevar conmigo el setup a donde quiera.

Analog Four mkii, Octatrack mkii, Subharmonicon y Modular.

En este caso he añadido un segundo filtro, el Dual dagger de Shakmat aunque poco uso le doy en esta Jam en concreto. Filtra ligeramente los sonidos de Arbhar.

En la parte final me apetecía duplicar la melodía principal con un segundo instrumento y me decidí por la guitarra ya que es mi instrumento principal y últimamente no tengo demasiadas oportunidades de utilizarla.

Eso es todo. Espero que os guste y cualquier duda a los comentarios estaré encantado de hablarlo.

(eng)
These last few days I really needed some time to create music and evade myself from everything going on in life. The creation of this one was therapeutic for me, hence the title.

I'm getting more and more comfortable with this setup. I added a Harley Benton Spaceship 80 pedalboard to keep all the cables organized and tidy, except for the modular, of course. This way, I can take the setup with me wherever I go.

Analog Four mkii, Octatrack mkii, Subharmonicon, and Modular.

I've added a second filter to the case, the Shakmat Dual Dagger, although I don't use it much in this particular jam. It slightly filters out Arbhar's sounds.

In the final part, I wanted to double the main melody with a second instrument, and I decided on the guitar since it's my main instrument and I haven't had many opportunities to use it lately.

That's all. I hope you like it, and if you have any questions, I'd be happy to discuss them in the comments."

GONE - Electronica #4 // Subharmonicon, Analog Four, Octatrack, Modular

video upload by David Falcon

"En este tema me voy por una rama oscura del electro. Me evoca sensaciones similares a la OST del juego The Binding of Isaac. Bastante oscuro, incluso siniestro por veces.
Muchas disonancias girando en torno al ancla que es la Elektron Analog Four mkii. Bombo y Bajo sientan unas bases potentes sobre lo que construir lo demás. La octatrack como mixer del máster es una gozada mientras que el modular y el subharmonicon son una fuente inagotable de inspiración.
En este caso decidí disolver el tema al final en lugar de llevarlo a una parte nueva. Más acorde a la temática creo. Como siempre, grabado en una toma, y solamente masterizado en Ableton.

Gracias a los que estáis siempre al otro lado.
Saludos!

(eng)
In this song I am going for a dark branch of electro. It evokes similar feelings in me to the OST of the game The Binding of Isaac. Quite dark, even sinister at times.
Many dissonances revolving around the anchor that is the Elektron Analog Four mkii. Kick and Bass lay powerful foundations on which I build the rest. The Octatrack as a master mixer is amazing while the modular and the subharmonicon are an infinite source of inspiration.
In this case I decided to dissolve the main parts of the song at the end instead of taking it to a new part. More in line with the theme I think.
Recorded in one take and mastered in Ableton.

Thank you for being on the other side."
