Happy Nerding 3x VCA 2/2: Modulation Depth, Tremolo, & Auto-Pan

Published on Mar 24, 2019 Learning Modular

"This second of two movies on the Happy Nerding 3x VCA. It focuses on using VCAs to control modulation depth, including filter wah, FM, tremolo, and auto-panning. The 3x VCA’s bipolar attenuators and offset controls (as well as internal mixing) makes it easier to patch these applications without the need for external CV utility mixers. The video breaks down like this:

0:00 intro
0:12 controlling modulation depth
2:25 patching tremolo
4:33 stereo tremolo/autopanning
6:58 summary

Jakob Haq: Can MOOG convince me to get into MODULAR Synths? | haQ attaQ #TSR19

Published on Mar 24, 2019 Jakob Haq

"Jim from MOOG Music Inc brought a Mother-32 and a DFAM with him to our studio session during the Thomann Synth Reactor 2019 event. Ever wondered why you can’t find any videos on my channel featuring MODULAR synthesizer that requires patching through cable wiring? Go ahead and search my 700 videos and you’ll quickly realise that I haven’t made any videos on Modular synths requiring virtual cable patching either (well there’s is one, but it’s not about a synth per see). I simply do not like the wiring-like workflow that these types of synths call for. Now, you have to see this one though because Jim here is tasked with ... changing my mind. Can he do it?

"Very quick demo of the Solton ARRANGER PLUS.
Forgive the poor audio quality and performance of this video. It is solely intended to demonstrate the unit is running fine and to get you an idea of what you can achieve with this unit."

via this auction

"Here is a vintage 80s arranger. Small brother of the cult SOLTON PROGRAMMER 24 / 24S arranger. They share the same audio engine but this one lacks themore advanced editing possibilities. To those who are into Italo Disco music they know these machine rule !

Consisting of a rhythm unit (digital 8bit PCM samples very like the LinnDrum, Oberheim DMX, Sequential Circuits Drumtraks etc) and a analog synth engine made of: 1 bass sound, 2 "chords" tracks, 1 "solo" track and 1 organ track.

I just recently cleaned and serviced it. It works perfectly. I replaced the dead battery with a new one, and used a battery holder instead of the original solder-on type.

Condition est quite good. Front plate paint does show some scuffs and scratches and fainted part but as a whole it does look very nice. See pictures and judge for yourself.

The keyboard comes with its rare original manual (italian, english, french and german).

I made a video of this very same unit, to prove its working condition and get you some idea about the possibilities of the keyboard."

AJHSynth-Gemini 2412 demo/Minimod oscillators/filters and more!!!

Published on Mar 24, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
This time I have an extensive demo showing the filter Gemini 2412 (no talking) from AJHSynth !
in the first part, up to 1:50, you have two Minimod oscillators (Vintage Transistor Core VCO) - they are first with a lower input level, later with a high level that adds some grain in the Discrete Cascade VCA and, of course, a typical LP, BP, HP filter, plus of course adding resonance. I think wonderfully shows how this filter behaves on the oscillator.
from 1:50 to 4:15 is used Dual mode for sequences with the addition of Reverb Black Hole DSP from Erica Synths.
in dual I wanted to show a lot of filter settings, that's why it takes quite a long time, and as it alternately filters itself with the use of LFO, there is a separate output for Dual D-Out. last part is a sequence with filtering also dual but without reverb.
The Gemini 2412 filter is based on the iconic SEM so this character really can bite sounds.
More specifically, the Gemini 2412 is Two completely independent Vintage SEM filters, with a central mixing bus for frequency and frequency control voltages that allow the connection of two VCFs in serial and parallel modes, and VCF1 can be inverted against VCF2. So two VCFs can be combined to act like a SEM 24dB filter, vocal formation filter and much more!
Each of the two filters is based on a SEM vintage filter, with FET transistors, and has a Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass outputs, and a useful Vary output that can be faded from LP to Notch on HP. All outputs can be used simultaneously.
Added some exciting additional features not available in the original SEM filter, including CV resonance contolance, VCF core override and full self-oscillation!
Each VCF1 and VCF2 has a four-way switch for selecting LP, BP, HP or VARY for the mixing bus, it is also available as an additional individual output."
