North Coast Synthesis - MSK 013 Middle Path VCO


SchneidersLaden

"We were asked several times if we could shoot a video for this module, now it's ready - our video for the Middle Path VCO. We combined this excellent VCO with the Leapfrog Filter and a Natural Gate - to get some classic lowpass gate sounds from this massive dual VCO.

North Coast's complex VCO is comfortable on a journey to the East or the West. It contains two triangle-core VCOs, each with four waveforms and standard V/octave control.

As basic VCOs running independently these can be the heart of a traditional subtractive East Coast synthesizer. But the Middle Path's oscillators can also be used together, with or without sync, to drive its unique multi-output Gilbert-style sine shaper. The shaper, which can also take external input, offers wave shaping, distortion, folding, phase modulation including through-zero, and imitation stereo. These effects take the sound into West Coast territory.

A very nice complex/dual VCO with a massive sound and very solid build quality."

Moog Semi-Modular Synthesizers: Interconnectivity IV


Moog Music Inc

"Six instruments from the Moog semi-modular family of analog synthesizers (Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32, 2x DFAM, and Subharmonicon) connect together showing their strength as an interconnected system.

In this patch, Subharmonicon serves as a master clock, distributing sync signals to the Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32, and two DFAMs. The patch begins with the Subharmonicon playing a slow-moving chord progression, processed through Grandmother’s spring reverb. The first DFAM plays a dynamic high hat pattern, while the second DFAM provides a kick and snare to anchor the composition. Mother-32 generates a straightforward bass line, while its assignable output randomly controls the depth of envelope modulation routed to its filter. Matriarch provides a pad to fill in the mix, with a touch of vibrato from the modulation section, as well as some analog delay. Finally, Grandmother rounds things out with a simple counter melody to tie the composition together."

Modal COBALT8 MPE noodle


Molten Music Technology

"Testing out the MPE functionality of the Modal Electronics COBALT8. I'll do a proper video on it soon but for now, here's a patch I setup for MPE and a bit of messing about to give you an idea of what it can do.

Slide (forwards/backwards) was mapped to the filter cutoff and Pressure was mapped to the spread on the 2nd algorithm and brings in intervals and octaves."

Cobalt8 - 8 Voice Synthesizer - Full Sonic LAB Review


sonicstate

"For patches and extra video- see our Patreon: https://patreon.com/sonicstate

First thing you notice about the Modal Electronics Cobalt8 is that it's very photogenic, a lovely shade of blue. That and the striking similarity between it and the Argon8 with which it shares the DSP driven 8 voice polyphony, voice spread feature (8 Osc per voice), three effects slots and other common elements such as the sequencer and arpeggiator. It also features the signature Modal Electronics joystick found on the Argon8 and it's other, older high end synths.

We take a longer, more detailed look at the new poly.

Korg SQ-64 Sequencer - first play & review w/ Molten Music Technology


Molten Music Technology

"Here's my first jam on the Korg SQ-64 sequencer. No manuals were opened or tutorials viewed I just got stuck in and made a sequence into my Eurorack. Dead easy to use with some very interesting and playful performance options under the Shift button. This is going to be good! Full review coming soon."

KORG Introduces the SQ-64 Polyphonic Sequencer


Korg

Playlist:

1. “Step Up” with the SQ-64 Polyphonic Sequencer
2. Korg’s SQ-64 Polyphonic Sequencer: A Brief Overview
3. KORG SQ-64 Review and full tutorial - leploop

"There's nothing that offers the combination of CV control, MIDI & Audio sync, and polyphonic multitrack sequencing that Korg’s SQ-64 does. Compact as it may be, it gives you three tracks, each with dedicated Pitch, Mod, and Gate output, plus a fourth Drum-Sub track with a total of 16 triggers; eight gates and eight over MIDI. Each of the 64 step buttons uses graduated LEDs to show you exactly what's going on in your track, and a crisp OLED screen gives you an at-a-glance look at details. It's all packed into a rugged aluminum case roughly an inch thick for durability and portability - every step of the way"



via KORG:

"The SQ-64 is an incredibly powerful and compact Polyphonic Step Sequencer with amazing hands-on intuitive controls and deep editing options to give you all the flexibility and sequencing power needed for all your musical projects. With its 64 step pad Matrix, Crystal clear OLED display, sturdy and elegant aluminium body, a wealth of connections and a variety of modes and features, the SQ-64 will become the central piece of your music studio providing total and seamless control over all your instruments so you can focus on what matters most; your music!

Despite its compact size, the SQ-64 has unparalleled connectivity and will allow you to easily control, connect and make the most of all your analog and digital gear. MIDI IN (x1) and OUT (x2), micro USB type B, Sync IN & OUT, 3 Melody tracks each with MODULATION, PITCH and GATE outputs and a DRUM track with 8 individual trigger outputs for controlling analog synths, Eurorack, and drum machines.

Each of the Melody tracks (x3) has 16 Patterns of up to 64 steps each, and the Drum track (x1) has 16 Sub-tracks also with up to 64 steps each, that can be played, chained and edited in a variety of ways.

Melody tracks and patterns can be edited in several modes (GATE, PITCH and MODULATION) so you can alter the information sent by your sequencer on each of these steps in many interesting ways.

The DRUM track outputs can be fine-tuned to match the polarity and voltage of your connected device(s). Its audio Sync In & Out connections will allow you to seamlessly control all your other Korg gear such as the volca synthesizer series, minilogue, monologue, minilogue xd, prologue and many others!

Whether you are into Analog synths, Eurorack semi-modular synths, Digital drum machines, or do everything on your DAW with digital plugins, the SQ-64 will give you instant and precise hands-on control of each and all of these.

The SQ-64 has 64 beautifully LED-lit Step button pads that not only let you see the whole picture at once, but also allow for super-fast and satisfactory editing with its encoder knobs and dedicated mode buttons that will simplify and speed up your workflow. Each step has graduated lighting; the higher the modulation value, the stronger the button lights up to give you a clear visual on what’s going on in the sequence.

The OLED Display is crystal clear, bright and visible from any angle, so you can have access to all the information you need no matter whether you are making music at home, in the studio or playing live!

The 3 melody tracks include a MODULATION output, so every step on your sequence can be creating complex modulations on your gear of choice, greatly expanding your options and possibilities for sound creation. It has never been easier to create polyphonic chords patterns, melodies, complex poly-rhythms and modulations on the fly and record them as data on each of the 64 project slots available.

REAL-TIME CONTROL

The SQ-64 won’t just allow you to create incredible sequences; it packs several features and modes that will let you edit on the fly and play any of your gear real-time.

The 64 pad Matrix can be also be used as a Keyboard, allowing for several layouts to be used for maximum flexibility (several scales can be assigned to any of these and a number of other parameters can be easily changed)
