"Valserine" Volca analog synth jam

Published on Mar 4, 2018 Ludwig Kopp

"The little Volca Bass needed some fresh air again.
This time I took it to the Valserine River.
A picnic table was long abandoned from summer and invited to a little sequence jam.
Recorded the session to the Korg Beatboy.
Back Home I added a pinch of reverb.
Thanks for checking this out."

Mini Live Cover Jam: Magnetic Fields II (Jean Michel Jarre) on Waldorf Streichfett & Korg Gadget

Published on Mar 4, 2018 Kalkartronic

"Trying to be Jarre 😝
How hard could it be to play Champs Magnetiques II (Magnetic Fields II) by Jean Michel Jarre on synth?
Well, it is hard. At least for me and if you want to do it perfect like he does. But, I gave it try......
Well, it turned out not too bad, for me who usually pushes buttons and turns knobs on this channel.
I just programmed three tracks on Korg Gadget and played the melodies live on Waldorf Streichfett.
Hope you like it!"

That's one horsey video...

Voice of Saturn Synthesizer MK II Prototype

"Selling one of the prototype boxes i made with the Voice of Saturn Synth MK II circuit. It features 3 audio rate oscillators, 3 LFOs and a VCF. The LFOs can be patched to either the VCF cutoff control or to the CV inputs of any oscillator to provide a gating type effect. The filter is a really gnarly low pass that will distort wonderfully when you crank the resonance. There is a 1/4" input to the filter (experimental) for processing external sources. This is a great drone box or you can ping the filter with an external gate or one of the LFOs for some interesting percussion sounds. Ships with 3 banana cables and power adapter."

Does the Behringer Model D Stack Up Against the Original?

Behringer D - Let's Talk Synths - With Mr CowFood

Published on Mar 3, 2018 Marshal Arnold

Discussion starts at 6:29, below is a comparison.

"Behringer D - Let's Talk Synths - With Mr CowFood

Now that the Behringer D is available and I have had a chance to play around with it I wanted to invite back Mr CowFood to discuss this new release from Behringer. The Behringer D, or "Boog" as it's being referred to by many online is a clone of the famous Moog MiniMoog Model D. Mr CowFood and I chat about some of the differences between this clone and the MiniMoog Reissue of which the Boog is based on. There was some discussion also about the High-Pass Filter, apparently there have been some complaints about it so I setup a quick test and all is well with the unit I own. We also chat briefly about the teaser photo from the Midas Team in the UK, possibly getting ready t teardown a Roland Jupiter 8."

Behringer D Vs MiniMoog Model D - THE REMATCH - Technical Video

You can find the previous video mentioned along with a Roland SE-02 vs. Minimoog comparison here.

"Behringer D Vs MiniMoog Model D - THE REMATCH - Technical Video

Following the first “Shootout” video I made between a MiniMoog Model D and a Behringer D or “Boog” as it's being called online I have taken some feedback from the community and with the suggestions made I have spent an entire evening doing a much more technical comparison of these synthesizers. NOTE this video will probably be very boring for some viewers, my apologies, I do not know how to spice up a video like this, but if you are curious how these 2 synths stack up on a deeper level and have about an hour to burn then give it a spin! In this video I will be covering the following

1- Comparing individual oscillator wave forms one by one (1, 2 and 3).
2- Comparing oscillators with stacked wave forms
3- Some low-pass filter sweeps with varying amounts of resonance
4- Tested the Overdrive circuit
5- Tested the high-pass filer on the Behringer D – (is not a feature on the MiniMoog, but I had questions about it)"

KlirrFactory BitOSC - 1 to 8 BIt digital VCO for VCV Rack - Overview & Demo

Published on Mar 4, 2018 TheKlirrfaktor

"KlirrFactory BitOSC is a unique 1-8 Bit digital VCO for VCV Rack by www.klirrfactory.com that allows you to create your own waveforms.
Waveforms are calculated from 8 24bit rows which result in a 24 segment waveform with a maximal resolution of 8 bit per segment - sounds difficult but is easy.
Each of the 8 rows can be shifted with Triggers to get sequenced changes in the waveform.
The Bit Manipulation inputs allow you the smooth the wave and to proceed logical operations like AND, OR, NOT, XOR and more. All this of course voltage controlled if you want.

KlirrFactory BitOSC is full featured with FM, Thru Zero FM, Hard Sync, Soft Sync and Sub Oscillator.

KlirrFactory BitOSC is available @ www.klirrfactory.com"

BURG - washed ashore (ambient jam, ms-20, blofeld, reface CP, strymon)

An ambient session for you all, with an ominous weird feeling that I cannot explain,, no idea what it is .. the track is just odd.

Anyways.. I accidentally left some of the other synths on while setting things up.. or an FX on something which was not used so there are significant background hissing noises going on. Even though it's noisy I did not want to scrap the tune.. i needed to share it so here it is.

Main lead is on the ms-20, i swap VCO2 between 8' and 4' for different styles plus that i have HPF filter resonance on 2 o'clock, so I can work the HPF filter for added textures for the lead sound.

On the reface CP I recorded a loop, on 1/2 speed, reverse in the tc electronic X2 looper, CSIDMAN gives some granular delays, reverse relay in the particle plus a pretty huge reverb in the bluesky.

Blofeld does some arpeggiated percussion, modulated pretty heavily in the synth, plus that the arpegiattor is set to trigger some of the notes on random so it does not really repeat itself. A simple delay and a plate reverb from the eventide space and timeline.

NLA1 does a simple pad, with built in FX, filter controlled by an expression pedal on the floor.

Gear list:

Nord Lead A1, KORG ms-20 mini, Yamaha Reface CP, waldorf blofeld

FX:

Strymon el Capistan, bluesky, timeline, Eventide space, red panda particle, catalinbread CSIDMAN, tc electronics ditto X2 looper

Enjoy!
