"The Model D is not included, only for display purposes...
The keybed is included. It came from a used Alesis Q61 controller set to midi channel 1. I am including a power supply for the Q25. You just need a midi cable to connect to the synth. To mount the Model D you have to remove the wood end caps and replace them with the metal ends included with the Model D."
"The only thing more fun than three Atlantis' is four!
Here we're using Steppy to trigger the four voices, and Tetrapad to provide their pitch. Effects are provided by Springray 2 and an Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy"
"Max's 'Dream 13 (minus even)', performed on/arranged for OB-6.
Original here - [embed below]
I omitted the A section repeat; I feel it works well without it.
The original is actually a cut & paste job - the cello part is a single take dropped in (piano part is also cut/paste at repeat points - you'll hear it on the original if you listen closely). I wonder if the cellist was paid to record only two notes, or was paid for each time the sample is used! Short recording session, for sure!
Bass sounds good. I'm intentionally emphasising the upper-end fizz of the SEM filter on the bass part, as it's such a distinctive sound.
Taking an acoustic work and giving it a synth arrangement such as this certainly isn't for everyone, but that's ok - it is just some fun :) Plus, as always, the Obi sounds great.
All best
Kris"
Max Richter - Dream 13 (minus even)
Published on Aug 10, 2015
"Acclaimed Britsh composer Max Richter has written a new landmark recording: SLEEP is 8 hours long – the equivalent of a night’s rest – and is actually and genuinely intended to send the listener to sleep. 'It’s an eight-hour lullaby,' says its composer, Max Richter.
The ground-breaking new work is scored for piano, strings, electronics and vocals – but no words. 'It’s my personal lullaby for a frenetic world,' he says. 'A manifesto for a slower pace of existence.'"
VCV Host Overview & First Patch Published on Nov 29, 2018 Omri Cohen
"Well, apparently, the creator of VCV Rack doesn't want us to have a social life, or a job, or relationships... The VCV Host and Host FX were introduced this week, and oh man, they are beautiful! With using them, we can load VST instruments and effect in VCV Rack, and control\modulate them within VCV Rack with the available modules.
In this video, I go through the different sections of Host and Host FX, and then I build a couple of patches with using Form, Kontakt, Battery, Wider, Arturia's Buchla Easel with the modules of VCV Rack."

The AE Modular Wavefolder, based on a vintage circuit design also used by Ken Stone, takes a waveform and clips and folds it. This creates a more complex sounding waveform, of which you can of course modulate the parameters with CV too. In this video I also present a few patch tips, for this seemingly simple module. Let me know if you have an questions :-)
Patch tips:
- Create a sine wave from a square wave VCO running through a low pass filter with low cutoff frequency. For pitch sequencing, you might want to add a little bit of pitch CV to the filter cutoff control too, not just the VCO. This is often called “keyboard tracking” in non-modular synths’ filter settings, which makes sure that the filter opens up a little on higher notes. Otherwise, a constant cutoff will dull the sound of higher notes more than lower notes.
- Feedback: Patch the input signal (e.g. a triangle wave) in a mixer and the mixer output in the Wavefolder. Then patch one Wavefolder output back into another mixer input and slowly turn the mix knob up. For voltage control over the feedback, patch the Wavefolder output in a VCA and from there into the mixer. Modulate the VCA with an LFO, Envelope, Sample & Hold or Sequencer then. Feedback can get very crazy quickly, so start with low knob and modulation settings.
- Since the Wavefolder creates complex (harsh sounding) waveforms, you can send them through a filter to smooth them. As they are different than your standard square or sawtooth waves, they also sound different, and often more interesting, through filters.
- Try modulating the Wavefolder’s shape with its input signal, i.e. send the triangle or sine wave audio signal in the audio input and the CV input as well."
