Embracing the Clank Chaos Sequencer

video by Red Means Recording

"Chaos by Clank is a 6 channel random gate and voltage generator that can be constrained to all sorts of musical timings and scales. It has a looper per channel, can be influenced by CV input to transpose any channel or all of them, and has a chaos input that will scramble the parameters for each channel based on a customizable entropy amount. It's as wild as you want it to be. Let's check it out."

Error Instruments | Broken Tape Simulator V2

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"This video is about a small 6 HP module that can seriously trash any patch into a messy, but awesome glitch & data bending chaos. So skip this one if you're not into modular madness. It's about Error's Broken Tape Simulator V2, which has a built in light sensor you can use to short-circuit your virtual lo-fi tape machine. But after all, it's just a tool in a sound design kit and I am sure you'll love it when you spend some time with it. Especially with lots of FX in the end of chain. Have fun, and if you don't - sorry for the noise."

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."
