"I make four beats (electro house, vaporwave, synthwave, and trap) from scratch with the Novation Circuit Tracks and Arturia MicroFreak, testing various new features and getting really nice sounds out of the hybrid workflow."
LFOs & VCOs - Basic Modular Tutorial Ft. Corsynth VC LFO
video by alternatingbitmusic
"While this demo doesn't really cover LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) action, the point was to share that certain modules have full VCO capability in addition to LFO. While I was fully aware about this from the VCO standpoint, I just realized a module I bought as a dedicated LFO also has full VCO capability. Perhaps my noob discovery will help others. Featured is the Corsynth VC LFO."

BENJOLIN VALENTINE
I always wonder what will come in for Valentine's day. Here you go. :)
"Benjolins rock, this one modulated by a MoogCP251 voltage controller passes thru an Instruo Athro wave folder, then on to a MF107 Moog FreqBox and then off into an H9 Blackhole Cigaroo preset. Turn up the bass!!!"

Expanding the Sequential TOM to hold 16 "cartridges"
I bought my TOM a few years ago, and had always intended to make some sort of switch-able cartridge for it. I decided recently that it would be nicer to have everything inside the TOM, if possible, and control it using the TOM user interface. There are two advantages to doing it this way:
1) Cartridges can be selected without unplugging and replacing EPROMs, which can get damaged by ESD or bent pins.
2) Both the internal sounds and the cartridge can be swapped out, so all 15 sounds can be changed, not just the top 7. There are two "slots" - internal and cartridge. Any of the 16 "cartridges" can be placed in either slot. If a cartridge has seven sounds in it, and is placed in the internal slot, button 8 will not make a sound. All of the cartridges I have made have 8 sounds. If they are placed in the internal slot, all 8 are available. If they are placed in the cartridge slot, only the first 7 sounds are available.
The board plugs into one of the internal sound ROM IC sockets, after both chips have been removed. It also needs A15b and A16b which are not available in either socket, so two short wires are used. I use A15b and A16b instead of A15 and A16 to avoid connecting to the Wonder chip signals. Luckily there are eyelets on the TOM board right where I needed them to be for these two signals.
Here is a photo showing the newer version of the pcb, which has a third wire. The original two wires are connected exactly as before, while the third wire attaches to the lower end of the 10K resistor near the battery. I have added a small circuit which should allow inserting a cartridge (for testing) into the TOM while the TOM16 is installed. In this case, the only sounds available would be the ones on the cartridge, as the TOM16 EPROM is disabled.
How does it work? I added code to the TOM V1.6 OS firmware (the final SCI version) to allow selecting cartridges using the std user interface. Once the selection is made, these values are sent using the Wonder chip in a special way to a PIC micro-controller on my board. That chip presents the two cartridge select 4-bit codes to a dual 4:1 mux that feeds the correct one to an 8 Mbit EPROM. I do not plan to release the PIC code, or provide the source for my version of the TOM OS at this time. The only changes that I made to the TOM OS firmware were for TOM16 support. No other changes were made.
I am currently offering fully assembled pcb's for $105 including Priority Mail shipping to USA addresses. If you are outside of the USA, please contact me for the additional shipping cost. In order to install the board in your TOM, you will need to upgrade the (socketed) firmware EPROM with one that I supply. You will also need to remove the two (socketed) sound ROM chips I610 and I611. And finally you will need to carefully solder three wires, (which I will supply) into small holes in the TOM pc board and in my board."
