doepfer a-124 vcf5 wasp filter

"please support the channel: https://impurfekt.bandcamp.com

the doepfer a-124 vcf5 is a 12db multimode filter using the filter circuit of the edp wasp; an analog synthesizer with a black and yellow case built in the seventies. this filter abused digital inverters as analog operational amplifiers leading to distortions and other dirty effects that generate a unique character. it's equipped with a band pass output and a combined low/notch/high pass output.

once i had gathered the filters i was familiar with i started exploring other options to expand my palette. after seeing a few demos i was very intrigued by the wasp filter. it reminded me a bit of an ms-20 filter but with its own brand of nasty. in person the wasp did not disappoint.

the layout is nearly identical to a few other doepfer options which made it easy to pick up and play. it has the mid-forward tone you expect from a 12db filter. high resonance is nasty and unpredictable but won't blow your speakers (which is nice).

where this filter really shines is when you overdrive it. it sounds like a different version of itself; nice and smudgy. you can get away with high resonance and still get an even sound level; which means you can use high resonance in a lot more situations. in that way it reminds me of the korg prologue filter (another filter i adore).

i appreciate a filter with a broad range of character and the a-124 definitely has it. i wouldn't say it's as musical as a moog or roland filter, but it has a very usable range of nasty and can make unique sounding bread and butter sounds as well. a great option if you're looking to add something unique to your toolkit.

Squaver P1+ 80's Covers, Depeche Mode, Yazzo Don't Go and Axel F Beverly Hills cop with guitar synth

Sonicsmith

"In this video the Squaver P1+ synthesizer pedal is controlled via a guitar mono input (through that green compressor pedal) with varying amounts of PWM modulation from the Modulor A1.
First posted on our Instagram page, this is just a widescreen full HD edit of that video. This edit also contains the bass for "Just Can't Get Enough" just before shortly cut out cause I haven't really practiced it much :p"

AJH Synth MiniMod - an 'Introduction' ...and some sounds

DreamsOfWires

"Quite a few people have asked me about the MiniMod system, which modules to start with etc, so I decided to make a simple demo showing some of the typical ways I would use it. This is just about the base MiniMod system, which can be purchased as individual modules, but in this configuration represents a fully modular version of the original Minimoog analogue monosynth. Therefore I'm only using those modules for the purposes of this video. It is directly based on the first 'R.A. Moog' issue of the instrument. If you want to see other modules from the range then check out my other videos or this playlist: [embedded below]

I was planning to make a similar video about my Roland SH-1 too, but it has issues at the moment, and I've no means of getting it serviced. This is one of the disadvantages of owning a 'vintage' synth.

Update the Typhon Firmware from a PC

ProckGnosis

"A short video walking through the steps of updating/installing the Dreadbox Typhon firmware from a PC. Check out Dreadbox's video on updating Typhon firmware from a Mac which covers similar territory, but also demos backing up and restoring your patches (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWYSl...). [below]

Haven't had a lot of time to play with the Typhon yet, but I'm pretty damn impressed so far. The core sound is great (oscillators, filter, and effects), and the digital control and features are well though-out and add a lot of power, especially for the price."
