Knif BBD / Modcan videos pt 2 via Drew Neumann


video upload by GSF AGENCY

"'So I set up this simple patch…'
🎧🎧

While the patch would take a while to describe in great detail, here are the main points. All of the audio in the clip is coming from the Modcan processed through the Knif BBD in realtime. The Moog Subsequent 37 is sending arpeggiated notes, modulation, and pitch wheel to the STG Continuo, which is converting that to control voltage (plus internal LFO) and gate for the modular. The pitch CV is then routed to a Wiard Mini Wave, which imposes various quantized key modes and scales on the pitch. The gate signal is routed to various envelopes, LFO resets, and the Milton Sequencer (upper right) to clock everything together and keep it in sync. Milton is handling several duties including pulse width offsets for the oscillators, CV offsets for the filters, Wiard Mini Wave 2s wavetable select, and trigger outputs for the rhythmic parts. The "voice" is 3 oscillators (one of which is processed through the second Wiard Mini Wave for wavetables) through the Moog 904a filter, 2 more oscillators going to 2 Arp 4075 filters panned hard left and right, 2 oscillators plus ring modulator and spring reverb acting at the "cymbal," white noise and Dark Star Chaos triggered by Milton for additional percussion effects. The Knif BBD is tap-tempo synced to the Moog Subsequent 37's arpeggio clock. From there, everything is messing around with the Knif BBD controls, selecting notes on the Moog, and noodling around on the Modcan's front panel controls.

VÃ¥ld Labs Tresse: a multiengine synthesizer based on Plaits, for desktop.


video upload by VÃ¥ld Labs

This one was sent my way via Meska who had the following to say: "It's 'basicaly' a standalone MI Plait with 3voice and extended oscilator models."

Video description follows:

"Tresse — 3-voice polyphonic desktop synth, 38 engines

Hey all,

Been working on this for a while and it's finally at a point where I want to share it.

*Tresse* is a standalone polyphonic synthesizer built around Mutable Instruments' Plaits DSP code, running on an ESP32-S3 with a custom PCB. Three voices of polyphony, 38 synthesis engines, USB, DIN/TRS and Bluetooth MIDI, and perhaps Ableton Link and our upcoming stack (VMB) VÃ¥ld Modular Bus, expected to ship this summer, and which will a new wireless comms protocol with negligible latency, auto discovery and machine mesh capabilities (to be released soon).
Also enough knobs and encoders to actually play the thing without menu-diving, and a battery for when you're bored outside of your studio.

*The core idea:* take the full Plaits engine library — all 24 algorithms — and make it polyphonic in a self-contained hardware instrument. Then keep going and add 14 more custom engines on top.
There are hundreds of options similar to this in modular systems and i thought why not bring all these god-level creative tools to bedroom, desktop producers who don't have the money or the space (or will) to mingle in the modular space, and bring them one contained box with all they need.

What's inside

*ESP32-S3* doing all the DSP across both cores (voices 0+1 on Core 1, voice 2 on Core 0, parallel render)
**PCM5102A DAC**, 24-bit output, 32kHz sample rate
*4 pots + 4 rotary encoders* through CD74HC4067 mux and MCP23017 I2C expander
*OLED display* (128×64) for patch info, engine select, preset browsing
*USB MIDI + BLE MIDI* — works with everything, no adapter needed for wireless
Custom PCB, all through-hole friendly

38 engines

The first 24 are straight from Plaits — East Coast, Phase Distortion, all three DX7 variants, Terrain, String/Chords, Chiptune, Wavetable, Speech, Swarm, Particle, the Rings modes, the three drum engines, etc.

Then 14 custom engines built from scratch:

*Karplus-Strong* — proper physical string modeling with excitation morphing (noise → impulse → tonal)
*ByteBeat* — 8 classic formulas with pitch-tracked rate, gets wild
*CZ Phase Distortion* — Casio CZ-style, three distortion shapes
*Supersaw* — up to 7 detuned saws with PWM, the obvious one but it needed to exist
*Formant* — vowel synthesis with 3 bandpass resonators, gender shift control
*2-Op FM* — clean FM with 13 ratios and operator feedback
*Wavefolder* — sine/tri/saw/square source into a proper folder with bias
*Noise Drums* — SVF-based with pitch envelope, covers kicks through metallic hits
*Modal Resonator* — 8 tuned bandpass partials, morphs from harmonic → bell → bar inharmonicity, with a bowed excitation mode
*Sympathetic Strings* — 3 coupled Karplus delay lines with controllable coupling and interval ratios
*Comb Resonator* — 4 parallel comb filters with spread control
*Drawbars* — organ-style additive with 8 Hammond-ratio partials
*Complex Oscillator* — FM into wavefolder, Buchla-adjacent territory
*Grain Noise* — granular noise with smoothing, good for textures and pads

Controls

Three parameter layers accessible via toggle buttons:

*Normal* — Timbre, Morph, Harmonics, Color on pots; Attack, Decay, FM, LFO Depth on encoders
*MOD* — Fold, Detune, Ring Mod, Chorus on pots; LFO destination/shape/speed/sync on encoders
*SHIFT* — Filter Cutoff/Reso/Env/Type on pots; Portamento, Octave, Vibrato depth/speed on encoders

Hold both buttons → engine select overlay. Double-tap MOD → system menu (randomizer, MIDI config, play mode). Double-tap SHIFT → preset browser across three banks (own patches, generated, branches).

Play modes: Poly, Mono, and chord modes (Major, Minor, 7th, Sus4, Power, Octave).

The randomizer is one of my favorite things — it generates random patches with procedural names (stuff like "Velvet Moth" or "Iron Shard"), you scroll through them with the encoder, and save the ones you like to a generated preset bank. 512 slots each for generated and branch presets, 128 for your own.

What it sounds like

Honestly covers a lot of ground. The Plaits engines already span everything from classic analog to FM to physical modeling to noise, and the custom engines fill in some gaps I wanted — proper supersaw, real Karplus-Strong, the modal/sympathetic stuff for metallic and evolving tones, and the ByteBeat engine for when you want to go full chaos. The global FX chain (filter, wavefolder, ring mod, chorus) ties everything together.

The project should be available from April 2026, in kit or assembled units! Price to be discolsed once i have the final FINAL prototype, but shouldn't hurt the wallet.

This is a *VÃ¥ld Labs* project from Lisbon Portugal. Much more to come.

Would love to hear what people think, and happy to answer questions about the build or the DSP. Be aware that this is a pretty advenced prototype, but still a prototype"

https://valdlabs.com



Note they also have the Consequencer pictured left but no additional info aside from the following on it yet.

"A portable, desktop-first sequencer with modular DNA — built for the art of shaping chaos."

CubuSynth also has a Consequencer announced back in 2024, but they appear to be unrelated.

Yuyo cmos synth - First try Attiny85 dco with analog cmos shaping and twin t filter


video upload by JIANT

"everything is from the synth to the zoom recorder, twin t drums, xor snare, pt2399, and cmos stuff.

attiny85 reseting the phase of 40106 oscilators, the digital control accepts 1voct from keysetp and go to the 40106 inputs through resistors, a little rc for filtering the pwm, and for this reason when you change the oscillator frequency you can get intervals and crazy stuff. is not orthodox but suits my need for Rich timbres. the dco goes to 40106 buffers , and then 4040 dividers, twin t filters, one for each of the two voices, one goes to env, vca, filter, delay, and the other one to clock divider and filter, to get the sub osc.

firmware super simple only for checking the conversion from filtered frecuency of the attiny85 to my 40106 non exponencial vcos.
currently is tracking 10 octaves really good, the trick is put a voltage divider in the cv in of the attiny because keystep has 0 to 10v and the attiny accepts 0 to 5v tehn the tracking inside the attiny converts o.5v oct to 1 volt oct. i dont know anything about coding but i made it with chat gpt and my design . source code will be in the coments ."

Arturia Pigments Dark Rhythmical Presets/Patterns Sound Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"Echoes of Night Traffic" is a collection of 50 rhythmic presets for Arturia Pigments, designed to bridge the gap between surreal dreams and aggressive cyberpunk realities.
The bank contains timbres heavily focused on sequences and rhythmic textures: 29 Sequences (SQ), 17 Rhythmic timbres (RH), and 4 Arpeggios (ARP).

📦 Get these presets: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/pigm...
👤 The author of the soundset is Daytona Carter.
🔔 Pigments presets can be imported into Arturia Analog Lab V.
If you like these sounds but don’t have Minifreak or Pigments and only own the Analog Lab V plugin, you can still purchase these sets and load them into Analog Lab V.

💎 The library moves effortlessly from hypnotic, cosmic sequences to hard-hitting, aggressive rhythms that cut through the mix.

The soundset creates the atmosphere of a dystopian city, which would suit the soundtrack for a film, game, or electronic music (Techno, IDM, Ambient, Cinematic, Synthwave, Retrowave, Electronica, Acid, Industrial).

Red Synton Syrinx Audio Demo


video upload by Edwin Kiddo

"Audio demo of my Synton Syrinx. This one has been serviced and the power input changed from 220 to 110V.

The Syrinx uses seven Curtis chips for its VCO's, VCF's and envelopes. It has two analog VCO's, a sub-oscillator and three flexible voltage-controlled filters. You can switch between the three filters for either a 24 dB lowpass, or two bandpass filters, and they can be patched in four different ways (series/parallel). Additionally the Syrinx has two LFO's, FM, PWM, osc-sync, 2 ADSR envelopes, ring modulation, portamento and a cool touch-pad that can control various parameters from pitch-bending to the LFO rate. The Syrinx's Mixer section lets you adjust levels for each VCO and the sub-osc as well as the Noise Generator and Ring Modulator. Unfortunately, being released around 1983, the Syrinx just missed out on MIDI and patch memory options.

Polyphony - Monophonic
Oscillators - 2 VCO's (tri, saw, square, PWM) plus 1 sub-oscillator, ring modulation and noise gen.
LFO - 2
Filter - 2 Bandpass filters (Peak 1 & 2) and 1 Lowpass 24dB/oct filter. Individual cutoff and resonance controls, ADSR Envelope, Keyboard Tracking and LFO modulation
VCA - 2 ADSR filters (one can modulate the VCF)
Keyboard - 44-keys (3 1/2-octave, no velocity, low-note priority)
Arpeggiator - None
Sequencer - None
Memory - None
Control - CV / Gate (Moog type). Touch 'N Bend Pad.
Date Produced - 1983/84"

Novation Summit Binaural Patch Demos (Hard-Panned Bitimbral) | Dry vs FX | Headphones


video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Follow-up to yesterday’s binaural Summit deep dive. No talking, no tutorial, just patches.

This is 9:50 of binaural-style patches on the Novation Summit, built using bitimbral mode with the two parts hard panned left and right. Each patch is demoed twice: dry first, then with Summit’s internal FX.

Why Summit works well for this: the digital NCOs can be kept phase-stable and pitch-stable, so you can control the exact differences between the left and right layers without slow drift turning the whole thing into randomness.

Headphones strongly recommended. The stereo perception is the whole point.

What you’ll hear

Binaural patches designed around controlled L/R differences

Each patch: no FX → FX

No narration, clean demos, consistent comparisons"

Binaural Synthesis on Novation Summit: Bitimbral Hard-Pan Patches + Build From Scratch


video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"This video is an experiment in binaural-style synthesis on the Novation Summit, using bitimbral mode with each part hard panned left and right.

I start by demoing a handful of binaural patches, then do a real-time build in the middle where I patch a binaural setup from scratch, explaining the decisions as I go. It ends with more patch demos once the core idea is in place.

The trigger for this was the ongoing discussion around the UDO range and how it approaches binaural by design. I realized you can push a similar concept much further on other synths if you’re willing to build it deliberately.

Why the Summit for this? The digital NCOs can be set up so both layers stay phase-aligned and pitch-stable, which makes it possible to control every intentional difference between left and right without the whole thing drifting into 'close enough.'

Headphones recommended. The effect is the point."

FreqGen - Orbital Drift (Live Modular Performance)


video upload by celldweller

"I haven't done this in a while. No softsynths. No presets. Just raw voltage, evolving sequences, and semi-controlled chaos, captured in real time. Why would I do this? Because I can.

Available on all DSPs Wed, February 4th.
A Celldweller Production.

Patch Notes

I’ve had Intellijel’s Metropolis for a long time and have used it on many songs. A family member bought me Metropolix as a gift and it was time for me to wrap my head around all the upgrades and new features, so that was the impetus for this track and the foundation it was built on.

Intellijel Metropolix to Livewire AFG. Modulating pulse width and harmonic animation with Ornament & Crime. That’s run through one of my fav filters of all time, the Cwejman MMF-2 modulated by the Tip Top Z4000 EG for a bit of snap but mostly as seen in the vid, manual modulation of the cutoff. Hands are handy.

Drums are sequenced by the Erica Synths Drum Sequencer with kick, hats and percussion all in random mode. The Drum Sequencer is controlling the VPME QD & QEX which I loaded up with my own selection of drum samples.

I used Make Noise Pressure Points/Brains for the main played lead, controlling pitch of the XAOC Devices Odessa. Gates fired from PP/Brains trigger another Z4000 EG which mults through a Synthrotek mult to a Pittsburgh Modular VCA and the Roland 521 VCF (The thing I keep looking up at, hoping it would wave or say hi. It never did, but it did an amazing job at filtering the Odessa.)

The little arp I added at the last minute. It lives on another rack which contains all my 5U stuff. Sadly it’s not in the video bc I didn’t know I was going to utilize it when I set up the cameras. Next time. The arp uses all Synthesizers.Com modules, sequenced by the Q119 and filtered by the Q150 Transistor Ladder filter.

Delays and reverbs from multiple Tip Top Z-DSPs. Some EQ & compression and maybe a delay in Cubase which mainly acted as my tape machine to record the performance. As I normally do when I patch, it’s all synced to Cubase clock using Expert Sleepers modules & Silent Way software.

If you read even one sentence from these patch notes, you get a lollipop and if you made it to the end you’re a true legend and clearly as nerdy as I am. 🙌"

WCS-X – Firmware Update | New Patches & New Features


video upload by EMW Synthesizers

"The WCS-X has received a major firmware update, introducing a wide range of new features and sonic improvements that significantly expand the synthesizer’s capabilities.

Among the highlights are Oscillator SYNC, PWM and Wave Folding, independent Attack/Decay generators per oscillator for pitch modulation, and a new Vintage parameter that adds warmth and character to the sound. Patch memory has now been implemented, allowing up to 128 patches to be stored directly in the instrument.

The update also introduces a new LFO with 15 waveforms, as well as new modes for Glide and Gate type, offering more expressive control and flexibility in performance and sequencing.

This short video showcases some of the new patches, demonstrating how these new features can be used in real sounds and musical contexts.

We believe this marks the final firmware version — and more news is coming soon 👀 Stay tuned and enjoy the sound! 🎶✨"

Fieldtone Weaver Eurorack // The Happy Accidents Module // Full walkthrough and patches


video upload by Lesjamusic

Pedal version previously featured here.

"The Fieldtone Weaver is a two-second sampler with a single knob, no undo, and no going back. Now it's in eurorack.

Weaver captures two seconds of audio - via the built-in microphone or audio input - and instantly randomises it into evolving loops, rhythms, and textures. Every turn of the knob generates a completely new variation. Nothing saves, nothing recalls. It's the ultimate happy accidents machine.
The modular version adds individual level control for three loop elements, trigger outputs that double as a random rhythm generator, a pitch switch, clock sync, and CV control - which works differently to what you might expect. I go into detail on all of this.

"Welcome to our new series, The Gas Club. Where we meet people who make things - be that music, recording devices, or instruments.

In the first episode Tony meets Hugh Jones of Fieldtone Instruments at the Soundgas HQ to explore the history of Fieldtone's celebration creations. They take a deep dive into Hugh's journey from musician/engineer to designer/builder of the Box of Uncertainty, The Weaver one knob handheld sampler and brand new Weaver Module plus a sneak peak at what to expect next from Fieldtone in 2026.

Tony and Hugh discuss the joy of sonic adventure and gear designed to produce happy accidents and the experiences of bringing new creations to the world."

A few pics and details on Weaver Eurorack:


Weaver Modular from Fieldtone is a Eurorack format version of the highly in demand Weaver handheld sampler that featured in music tech tastemaker Andrew Huang’s year round up as his Favourite Desktop FX module of 2024. The modular edition builds on the functionality of the original by adding a variety of additional control.

The Weaver is no ordinary audio sampler, it is a meditation on impermanence and chance. With a single, enigmatic knob, it embraces randomness as an artistic principle, reconfiguring two-second sound bites into hypnotic loops and evolving textures. There is no undo button, no way back once a sound is captured; the Weaver insists that you move forward, shaping the unpredictable into rhythm or texture with nothing more than a twist of the wrist or control voltage change.

New functionality on the device includes separate level controls of different elements of the loop, as well as 3 x trigger outputs which turns the device into a random rhythm generator for which you don't even need to be using the sampling capabilities. You can trigger the Recording start via CV, allowing you to keep replacing the sample whilst the loop continuously plays - something that works beautifully with acoustic sound sources such as guitar or voice, as well as electronics. A switch has also been added to select between Random or Root note sympathetic pitch playback.

Features:

Single-knob audio sampler focussed on randomness and exploration

Capture sound via built-in microphone or input jack

Fixed two-second sample time

No undo function, every knob movement generates a new loop

External sync via Clock input

Stereo output on separate L&R sockets with rich spatial movement

Separate level controls for 3 different elements of the loop

3 x gate outputs for triggering other sources

Toggle to switch between Texture and Rhythm modes

Toggle to switch between Root or Random pitch

Gate/trigger input to control Recording start

Gate/trigger input to control Weaver knob

Can be used as random rhythm generator without needing to use the sampler

So here we go checking out how this synth engine will play out with his other citadel friend the Wave Bard in breakbeat torture mode.
Also a cool oportunity to play around the Diktaat from Mzourack to trigger both units in a performative way.



Citadel Alchemist is a patchable hybrid-synthesis based eurorack module that empowers you in discovering melodies and even harmonies despite being monophonic.
Patch programmable sequencing via the control signals into the two PITCH MOD inputs opens up a world of melodic inspiration beyond classic arpeggios while staying in your preferred SCALE.

5 synthesis modes
The Alchemist has a carefully tuned wide timbral range spanning across 5 synthesis modes (FILTER, FM, HYPERSINE, SUPERSAW and GLITCHNOISE) accessed by main TIMBRE sweep that is refined by the RATIO control.

The ENV macro knob affects different parts of the synth and sequencing engine to maximize musicality and it even lets you continually morph between the synthesis modes and access truly unique sounds.
The timbral palette is further extended by the dual FX section which offers either a wide delay that will smear the arpeggios into echoed harmonies or a chorus-flanger-distortion-combfilter macro custom tuned for each synth mode.
You can also access gliding rubber textures with the PITCH SLIDE macro that applies pitch envelope and portamento.
You can customize its rhythms and scales with the web-based editor.
Modulate anything
All main parameters can be modulated and tightly sequenced by the surprisingly powerful CV and GATE pattern generator. Create groovy off-grid beats using the built-in LFO, which can be synced, reset, or left to run freely.

The Origins of the Krell Ambient Generative Synthesizer Patch // Todd Barton at Buchla & Friends


video upload by DivKid

"Join us at Buchla & Friends with the wonderful person that is TODD BARTON! Inspired by the work of Bebe and Louis Barron on the soundtrack to the 1950s film Forbidden Planet, Todd Barton created the classic Krell patch. A generative, ambient patch for modular synthesizers where random voltages influence (at it's most basic) the time, pitch and shape of your notes. We discuss the origins of Krell, the basics of the patch and how to expand it.

ASM LEVIASYNTH Review // Keyboard vs Desktop vs Hydrasynth

video upload by loopop

Details:


From the darkest recesses of the unexplored oceans comes ASM's most powerful creation yet—a hybrid algorithmic synthesizer with sixteen-voice polyphony, eight oscillators per-voice, and a truly absurd amount of sound design potential. There are over 300 waveforms available for each voice's eight oscillator slots, giving you access to a bonafide sandbox of sonic alchemy. Each voice's oscillators can be arranged and rearranged for versatile modulation schemes using the many available algorithms. This open-ended method of crafting timbres gives you nearly-unlimited possibilities for sculpting sounds ranging from familiar tones to completely alien timbres. In addition to the ability to create your own algorithm, the Leviasynth also comes with 144 preset algorithms for quick sparks of inspiration, and the ability to morph between these oscillators non-linearly.

The oscillators can be modulated in a multitude of ways to create even more timbral variation: Frequency Modulation, Phase Modulation, Pulse Width Modulation, HTE Sync, and Phase Distortion can all be applied to Leviasynth's oscillators for nearly-endless sound design potential. These, along with nearly every other parameter, can be affected using the internal 32-slot modulation matrix. Each of the eight oscillators includes its own volume envelope, along with five additional shared envelopes and five LFOs per-voice for creating a moving sonic texture within the canvas of the expansive modulation matrix.

The Leviasynth is one of ASM's most expressive synthesizers to date, offering a 61-key keybed with full polyphonic aftertouch, MPE compatibility, and a four-octave ribbon controller for even deeper playability. Record and playback more than just audio with the internal three-track sequencer, allowing you to record note, arpeggio, and macro automation data. Control a plethora of parameters across the synth with the eight individual macro controls, which provide a deep level of expressivity given the broad timbral potential of Leviasynth's multi-algorithm design. Expand this expressiveness into your Eurorack systems with the 3.5mm CV I/O, providing two assignable Mod inputs, as well as outputs for Pitch, Gate, Clock, and two assignable Mod outputs.

Leviasynth offers both analog and digital filters for sculpting multi-layered timbres. On the analog side, you get a buttery-smooth four-pole low pass, which provides the foundation for beautiful, intimate sounding patches. On the digital-end of the spectrum there is a complex, Hydrasynth-style multimode filter with eighteen different filter types. All of these filters can self-oscillate at high resonance settings, along with pre-drive saturation for helping your patches cut through any mix. The effects section offers two independent methods for applying that extra layer of polish to your sound. In the master effects, you can shape and transform your final sound with Delay, Reverb, Distortion, Rotary, Phaser, Chorus, Compression, EQ and more. The second method provides dedicated insert effects, which offer five flavors of Delay and four Reverbs for giving your sounds that ever-important sense of space. This two-layered approach to effects gives the Leviasynth a sound all its own, and when used in tandem with the aforementioned suite of timbral shaping engines, your imagination is the only limit. Like the vast unexplored waters of the deepest oceans, the ASM Leviasynth holds an immense amount of undiscovered potential underneath its dormant surface.
