AJH Patch of The Week: Mini Mod & Muting Mixer Melodic Performance (with patch sheet for Eurorack)

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"A re-recording of an old performance/composition using the AJH Synth Mini Mod system with the new MUTING MIXER & VCA module. This module allows input sources to be punched in and out quickly, ideal for live performance. Here I'm using one before the VCF to mix 5 waveforms from 3 VCOs, and also using another one as my final VCA after the filter. Patch sheet at the end of the video.

Patch Notes:
Green dots show approximate pot and switch positions. Where a pot or switch has two dots, this illustrates the range I move them during the video. Pots and switches that do not have green dots are not used in this patch, and should be left at their zero or off positions.
In the video I'm using the Glide + Noise MkII module to access the CV bus, allowing me to control multiple VCOs from one input/cable, otherwise you will need to use a multiple or stacking cables to connect the keyboard/sequencer to all 3 VCOs, as is usual with a fully modular synth.
VCOs: Tune them to the same pitch, only octaves are different. PWM SHAPE can be experimented with, setting all 3 VCOs to the same or different settings effects the sound of the combined pulse waves subtly.
Muting Mixer: These settings allow me to switch O/DR (overdrive) on and off without driving the signal too high, and keeping both states at a comparable level. Notice I always un-mute either the pulse waves (channels 2 & 3) OR the sawtooth waves (4 & 5) of VCO 2 & 3, never both pairs at the same time, as their combined signal would significantly increase the input level and risk unwanted clipping distortion. I tweak the level of VCO 1 (channel 1) to drive the signal a little more, but however you use it try to keep the level meter in the GREEN.
VCA: In the video I use another Muting Mixer as final output VCA, so in the diagram I show the Discrete VCA being used for the benefit of those who have one, but the same principle applies - set master to full then gradually increase the input level.
Modules used from top-left to bottom-right: Glide + Noise (for bus board access - optional), Vintage Transistor Core VCO x3, Muting Mixer, Transistor Ladder Filter, Contour Generators, Discrete Cascaded VCA (or Muting Mixer)."

Ambient Modular Performance (Cycling '74 Max MSP/Beap)

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
I am away from my modular system for another week, so I am trying to use some great software devices to make the content as a temporary solution. Made this patch as extensive as possible, but it was very close to crashing my computer just due to the sheer amount of connections and effects that I had running. If you want to try it out for yourself and have Max on your computer. I am giving this patch to all of my Patrons. Happy New Year!

LYRA 8 - Early Explorations (with RE-101 Space Echo)

video upload by allmyfriendsaresynths

"Lately I have been experimenting with the really beautiful but unusual 'organismic synthesizer', the Lyra-8. It's the kind of machine that feels like you can coax it to life... if you just spend enough time on it. Here is a full recording of one of my first sessions exploring its sounds, with a touch of the Roland RE-101 Space Echo for good measure. The video is fairly unpolished, to give you an idea of what it's like to sit and play with the thing for real.

I have to say a big thank you to Signal Sounds in Glasgow for very kindly letting me borrow one of their demo units to try out for myself. They have tons of really interesting gear just like this on their site at https://www.signalsounds.com - and I personally highly recommend them as a repeat customer!"

"Incredible combo of Peter Blasser's Lil Sidrassi and Rollz circuits. Made and purchased from seller Pickle's Gear Garage here on Reverb. Check out his shop! He does great work. Here's the original description:
Patchable, squishable noise maker From the basement emerges a prickly friend to drone, squeal, sing, and sputter along with. The box is built on #ciatlonbarde’s Lil Sidrassi and Rollz paper circuits, with a set of switched capacitors that can take you from ultrasonic and sub-bass frequencies with the flick of a switch. Below the switches are the Rollz, rhythmic drivers that send electric impulses to the Lil Sid. When connected to the Rollz, the Sid’s five oscillators can respond regularly - giving you techno textures - or chaotic - producing ultrasonic guinea pig battle cries.

9V Center Negative, includes a banana ground for connecting with other noisy friends.
Note: The only patch points that can be connected (after grounding) to other similar gear are the red ones, otherwise you may damage your gear!! Negative voltages are no joke!

Also Note: The Sidrollz in the Youtube video is the same one you are purchasing!

This thing is wild and super fun to use! I'm throwing in some small banana cables since I won't have much use for them after this and the Fourses sell. Consider it a gift from one weirdo musician to another :)"
