"Demonstration of Doepfer A131 EXP VCA for processing CV. From the manual 'For audio signals, you would normally use the exponential VCA (A-131), and for control voltages, the linear VCA (A-130). It doesn't always have to be that way, though.' 'The old versions of A-130/131 (those with CEM3381/CEM3382) are not able to process slowly varying control voltages (AC coupled in/outputs).Sound and Video by Raul Pena.'"

Processing the State of the Union

"Making sense of the state of the union can be difficult and the endless media banter can be overwhelming; adamon is here to help. With insight from correspondents Elektron Machinedrum, EHx Cathedral, and Empress Superdelay, adamon provides a simple breakdown of President Obama's state of the union address and helps bring clarity to the important, take-home messages.

[All processing was done live during the state of the union. The speech serves as the only source audio. This track is made up of excerpts from a full recording.]"

"Sean Weitzman from Arturia goes over the Oberheim SEM V soft-synth, which delivers the sound and the feel of the original Oberheim SEM Synthesizer Expansion Module. It's a dual-oscillator synth, and adds new features that weren't present on the original Oberheim unit, like a sub oscillator and a noise generator. SEM V includes many of Arturia's special touches, such as polyphony and 8-voice multitimbrality, effects, extensive modulation capabilities and much more.
