Moog Grandmother: Modular Experimental Patches. Sound Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"Welcome to the patchbook for a semi-modular synth Moog Grandmother.
«Explorer» is a collection of 50 experimental but usable presets: 12 Leads, 10 Basses, 9 Plucks, 10 Arps, 6 Drones, 3 Chords.
It includes aggressive, bright, detuned, freaky, noisy, atonal, metallic, generative, evolving, rhythmic timbres. This soundset is opposite to my previous one, «Analog Classics», where I made more regular/basic/classical timbres. In «Explorer» bank of presets, I tried to dive deeper in a modular nature of Grandmother and get most interesting and exciting results.
🔊 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/3x756yg
The patches are suitable for many genres: Techno, Ambient, House, Deep, Progressive, Trance, Minimal, IDM, Downtempo, Lounge Chill Out, Electronica, Dark/Noise, Industrial, Breakbeat, Drum and Bass, and many others.
The soundset is presented in the form of PDF-Document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters worth tweaking during the playback, how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn lots of things about the synth and discover its true depth.
Each patch has an audio example, it helps to understand how a patch is supposed to sound. To recreate these patches you need up 8 patch cords.
You should also install firmware v1.1.3 or higher to have access to all settings used in this soundset.

Animoog Z Quick Minute
video upload by boxoftextures
"Well, this was not the video I was expecting to upload today but Moog surprised us with the release of Animoog Z. New and improved! I really liked the original and I really like this one; it's a bit of an odd synth, but you can also make some incredibly unique textures. This is just a minute or so, basically the first thing I did with it. Gimme a few weeks and who knows what'll happen! 100% Animoog, nothing else used."

"This vintage CZ-1 is fully functional and in very good condition. The CZ-101 is a classic Casio digital synthesizer that uses Phase Distortion synthesis to shape sounds and the most advanced of the CZ series. The CZ-1 features 2 Oscillators per voice with a selection of 8 waveforms which are then modulated by it's three 8 stage envelopes which control pitch, phase angle, and amplitude. This style of synthesis is similar to FM synthesis which gives them a character not unlike the Yamaha DX/TX line of synthesizers. It also features 8 note polyphony, 32 patches of memory (16 preset, 16 user writable), ring modulation, Split/Layer and standard polyphonic modes, Velocity, Aftertouch, and a vibrato with selectable waveforms for PM like effects."

"This Erica Synths LXR-02 Digital Drum Synth is fully functional and in near mint condition.
Two companies - Sonic Potions and Erica Synths joined efforts to develop a drum machine that would stand apart from the masses and the LXR-02 was born. The LXR is a full-fledged digital drum machine with an integrated sequencer. Its sound engine provides 6 different instruments, each with over 30 parameters to tweak, producing sounds from classic analog emulations to crunchy digital mayhem, thus offering some of the most extensive sound design capabilities found on a drum synthesizer. Its compact, durable design and clear user interface make it ideal for live gigs."

"This is not your ordinary synth. Chances are if you're looking at this you already know that, but Lyra is a 8 voice synthesizer with dual delay and distortion on the final output. Each of the voices reacts and can be modulated by another in various ways. The way the instrument is played is by using the touch sensitive pads at the bottom. Lyra 8 is ideal for drone, ambient, soundscape, nightmare sound making machine."
