"Electronically this is in very good condition - all electronic components are fully operational. Cosmetically not too bad for its age. Mechanical aspects of instrument needs TLC: Keyboard bushings definitely need replacement. A couple of the switches probably need replacement. All sliders and pots in very good condition."

Sonicware Liven XFM Prototype - Demo 5 - Dub Techno
video by ChrisLody
"Time for another XFM demo. I built a very glitchy preset pattern for the XFM last week so I went into the studio intending to make something like that, but as soon as I made the filter pad chords I got distracted into making some Dub Techno. Not a genre I've really tried before but it works really well on the XFM
Both the percussion tracks on this have lots of modulation of their source sounds and some probability thrown in so the hits won't always trigger so there's plenty of glitchiness there. They are both filtered so a bit of tweaking adds some interest there too.
The other two tracks are both built from the DSTR (Distorted Pad) and B.TRP (Bright Trumpet) sounds that I made which creates a nice noisy waveform. The pad is filtered with the band-pass filter opening and closing with the envelope while the noisy lead sound uses the high-pass filter which almost gives a distorted electric guitar sound to my ear. It makes for a nice dark mood but with a worn sound to it somehow. The pan control is automated on both of these tracks too to widen the sound. Lovely stuff"

"Allo sounds from the Casio.
I sampled the bass and drumsounds in my Korg Microsampler.
Sequenced by my Mam SQ-16
Melody parts played by hand.
Som delay and reverb.
Enjoy!"

OP-Z Piano glitch with vocals

Note connectivity to the iPad is wireless.
"OP-Z Piano glitch with vocals. I found some old piano samples on my op-z and used these for a short jam and arrangement. Piano sounds from my acoustic piano. Vocals sampled by me. Thank you for watching and supporting this channel."
MS20 Filter DIY Eurorack Modular Synthesizer EcoLab
video by EcoLab Audio
"OTA based Filter with low pass, high pass and 3 CV ins.
It´s mostly based on the original schematic with some level adjustments and a switch for the modes.
It does have a very gritty, screamy and unstable character which made it pretty famous.
After about 50% of resonance the madness begins 🙂 It goes into self oscillation but don´t expect proper tuning stability.
It is simply a very experimental piece of gear and if i shuld describe it with some words:
It sounds like a pissed and wet cat 😀

Basic edit tools (copy, paste, random, clear)4. TUKRA
Encoder's secondary function is always track selection, click it to switch the function.
TUKRA playing the same pattern with different songs (each song has it's own settings for the drums, mixer, modulation...)5. Making melodies with FranKinksTides as function generator
6. Tesseract Radioactive Demo 2
Radioactive is a small but powerful 14-bit analog modelling voltage-controlled digital sound source: a complete voice Eurorack module in 6HP.See https://www.tesseractmodular.com for more. Modules featured above:
TUKRA is an 8 track eurorack trigger sequencer with audio and midi.
This module can be an ‘all in one’ solution for drums in your rack, but it also has great integration capabilities with other gear (eurorack modules, drum boxes, DAWs, midi devices and midi surface controllers).
There are no submenus, all functions and views are accessible all the time.
Brief overview:
Up to 64 steps per pattern, 64 patterns, 64 parts and 16 songs per project. 64 projects in the microSD card.
Play mode, clock divider, length & choke settings independent per track & pattern.
Step value (can be used for modulation, to define the midi velocity, midi note & drum synth pitch or sample selection).
32 HP
FranKinksTides is a 18hp dual Tides (based on the Swirls pcb layout) with the max/min circuit from Kinks and some switches for sync, quadrature, pll and fm operation . It can be a double/complex oscillator, a dual function generator or any combination of oscillator, Lfo and Envelope generator with lots of cv control plus some interesting cross-modulation and sync features.
some improvements in version 1.2:
-Mix output is now buffered, no signal bleeding on single outs.
-Mix pot controls also the balance of the signals sent to the max/min circuit.
-Uni/bi switch now also determines the signal sent to FM1.
-Clock/sync switch has now a center OFF position, no need of plugging a dummy cable in the Clock1 when using Sheeps firmware to avoid ultra fast sound bank changes.
small improvements for DIY:
-Bigger font size on the pcb.
-Parts renumbered for easy DIY.
original design by Émilie Gillet
Also see the demo by Stefan Tretau here.
Radioactive is a small but powerful 14-bit analog modelling voltage-controlled digital sound source: a complete voice Eurorack module in 6HP. It consists of 3 simultaneous independent oscillators, voltage-controlled AR/ASR transient generator, voltage-controlled pitch slew (glide) and voltage-controlled waveshaper with 5 different modes, but that's just the beginning. Its forte consists of selectable gate/trigger/constant envelope timing signals, rather unique 3-voice polyphonic mode, semitone-quantized mode, voltage-controlled waveform selection, on-the-fly selectable 10Vpp CV input range with offset (except for Pitch), a few experimental features, and then some.
Under the hood, it's a chiptune-inspired wavetable-gnawing sound cruncher with a mind of it's own, and oh boy it's dirty. It could be described as raw and untamed, but it would probably be an understatement.
