"After having the pleasure of testing the Quad Operator from Humble Audio for a while now it's great to put up a first video just exploring some basic modulation and FM synthesis. I have 3 unsynced looping envelopes controlling the level of 3 of the operators and play around with tuning ratios, depth/index of FM, waveshapes and feedback. More video to come and more explanation and the following patches unfold and we head towards the full demo around the release of the module."
"MFB TANZBÄR 2 is known and chosen mostly for its analog capabilities but it has also its digital qualities: Here is PART 2 of the internal digital sounds ONE by ONE."
"Impulse Command is a stereo analogue monosynth with dual oscillators, dual filters, MIDI and analogue sequencing and bags of modulation. There's a lot of long sound demonstrations in here as I take you through it. Spoiler - it's a fabulous machine.

"Progressive electronic music improvisation on handmade synths along the Microbrute. Tokarev Protosynth V1LP on the left playing polyphonic MIDI loops.. next to it in the center the Tokarev Protosynth V2 prototype rev.4 along with vst fx on the paddish background sounds. On the right the H7SYNTH playing polyphonic loops in stereo. Above this all, the Microbrute and the Tokarev Protosynth V2 prototype rev.2, are running the bass line. MIDI data from FL Studio, along with some vst audio FX."
"In this video, we take a walk through the most important features of the vanishingly rare Acxel, a vintage additive synthesizer designed by Québécois company Technos in the late 1980s. The Acxel uses an array of over 2000 LED-embedded touch plates to allow users to visualize and control various aspects of a sound, and is capable of synthesizing sounds from scratch or resynthesizing recorded sounds from the ground up—an incredible feat for its time.
We thought it'd be fun to combine a Vermona DRM1MKIII, with a Mono Lancet '15 running through a Jomox T-Resonator II, all sequenced by an Arturia Beatstep Pro!
Got a request or an idea for a Combination you'd like to see in a quick jam? Be sure to let us know in the comments!
Vermona DRM1 MKIII is a true analog drum synthesizer, and it's worth pointing out to those unfamiliar that it has no onboard sequencer or patch memory: trigger it via MIDI and tweak all the sound controls in real time via its 72 knobs. Different drum types offer a different range of controls, from the FM parameters present on its three multipurpose DRUM channels to the onboard reverb and noise generator available to the SNARE and CLAP channels to the low pass filter on the SNARE and the two CYMBAL channels. https://www.kraftmusic.com/brands/ver...
The Vermona Mono Lancet '15 is a monophonic analog desktop synthesizer module with two oscillators, a 24 dB/octave lowpass filter, envelope generator, and LFO section with 6 waveforms (versus 3 on the original Mono Lancet). Mono Lancet '15's knob-per-function interface provides intuitive control over its warm, characterful analog sound. In addition, Mono Lancet '15 is expandable via the separate Modular Dock eurorack module. https://www.kraftmusic.com/brands/ver...
The T-Resonator is something like an M-Resonator + Digital Delay. But you can select 8 different delay algorithms, each with different delays and different feedbacks and modulate them even with an LFO. Delays reach from less than a millisecond to 1 second, range and structure is depending on the algorithm. The delay feedback comes across the analog filters, of course. You can create gaining analog echoes, "klingon parties" by extremely feedbacked wave guide algorithm and much more. By the analog feedback everything sounds organic. The screaming analog feedbacks can delay themselves and thereby form new sound patterns. https://www.kraftmusic.com/brands/jom...
The Arturia BeatStep Pro controller & sequencer is designed as both a powerful hands-on hardware sequencing environment and pad / trigger controller. With two fully independent sequencers, an additional drum sequencer, and the ability to record real-time or use the step buttons for a classic drum machine workflow, BeatStep Pro is one impressive step sequencer. A built-in looper, randomizer, and swing settings offer numerous performance possibilities. BeatStep Pro's controller mode lets you launch clips in a DAW, play drum sounds in a module, and more. Whether you need to connect to MIDI, USB, CV/gate, or DIN sync gear, BeatStep Pro delivers total creative control. https://www.kraftmusic.com/brands/art...
