"This is a rather amateurial filmed review of the Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz Custom CV Euro Pedal for Eurorack Modular Review - as reviewed by a guy who never did a review. So please don't be too harsh with your criticism.

Intro blabbering 00:10
Mirrored knobs and naming brutality 04:43
Sinewave distortion 07:18
Using cv for pain, hurt and fb osc 09:53
Destroying a sequence 13:59
Mangling drums 18:15

Control voltage distortion fuzz pedal with 4 CV inputs and lots of sexy character. Best used with Eurorack modular synthesizers or any other piece of analog synth that has control voltage capabilities (f.e. Moog Sub 37, Electron Analog 4, etc.). Pricing 349,- USD, needs an additional external 9 volt DC power supply (negative tip).

Some additional info I got from Jonathan Irish / RML concerning the functions:

'The 'cut' toggle removes the sub low end frequencies.'

'The knob under the feedback OSC knob is an input attenuation knob. Its marked with -Z and +Z. As you turn it to the right it will add resistance and reduce the amount of signal going into the distortion circuit.'

'As for the OSC Noise: Its pitch can be controlled by the Hurt/Pain CVs while in self oscillation. Sending in CV to the Hurt/Pain or OSC noise you can make it play notes. Nothing exact as 1 volt per octave, but still fun.'"

Portable Electronic Jam Vol. 1 = Volca FM + PO-32 + Mixtape Alpha + Sony Minidisc

Published on Feb 1, 2019 Audio Wanderer

"1st chapter of the new serie called Portable Electronic Jams where we will play with tiny music machines just for fun
In this slow and smokey jam we play some ambient pads on the Volca FM while the Tonic (PO-32) walks down with a dark electro rhythm flavoured with some random noises coming from the ultra rare cassette sized synth Mixtape Alpha and an old Minidisc. A lucky cat witnessed all"

Casio CZ-5000 (1985) lo-fi jam + sequencing - 鬼的影子

Published on Feb 2, 2019 鬼的影子

"First recording using the inbuilt sequencer on the casio CZ-5000. All sounds were made and sequenced on the casio.

Master recording was later processed with some hardware and run through a tape machine.

Thanks to 'Synths and Sounds' for his video on how to sequence the synth - much appreciated. Big shout-out to BPMC for his glitch video gear.

Audio gear used:
Tangible Waves AE Modular Synth with MULTIFX, LOPAG Vactrol Lowpass Gate, SVFilter, Nylse Filter, Wasp Filter, SEQ16, DIY Touch Sensor Module, DIY VC Algorithmic Sequencer Module, etc.

There are two typical VCO-VCF-ENV voices playing. One is a slow sequence with pitch CV form the SEQ16 and the other is faster, created by a prototype voltage-controlled algorithmic sequencer I'm building at the moment. This one also acts as a voltage controlled switch, switching noise and other static VCOs into the mix and it also provides occasional triggers for one half of the LOGIC module. The other triggers going into the LOGIC are from the STEP10 sequencer. The LOGIC's XOR output then triggers the LOPAG. The touch plates control the filter cutoff of the SVFilter and Wasp filter. Everything goes through the MULTIFX Resoverb then."
