"I hadn't created anything on the OP-1 in a while, so put this together in a couple of hours, and used some samples from the radio which I haven't tried before. I go back and forth between frustration and wonder at the OP-1, as there's so many ways to use it, but I tend to get stuck in the same workflows.

Anyway, here it is."

Patch of The Week: Stereo Gemini - Using a Dual Filter to create Stereo Effects

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This week's patch shows how you can use the Gemini 2412 VCF (otherwise a twin or 2 filters) to create stereo panning effects, by using an LFO and 2 VCAs. It's easy to create stereo amplification or panning of a sound just by using a pair of VCAs in the same manner as detailed in this video, or just in post-processing, but where's the fun in that?? Actually filtering and shaping the sound in stereo, using two filters that can have completely unique settings, is much more sonically interesting, and offers a huge range of sound possibilities.
The Gemini 2412 is perfect for this kind of usage, as in addition to providing 2 completely independent SEM-style VCFs, it also has a very flexible mixer section allowing the two filters to be used and controlled together, in parallel or in series. With Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass, and variable Lowpass-Highpass filtering modes, all selectable by a switch, and with individual outputs for LP, BP and HP - it provides almost limitless tone-shaping possibilities.

I raised the depth of the pitch LFO of the lead sound a little in advance, and played with the rate while playing to sway the sound ♪

リードは、ピッチLFOのdepthを予め少し上げといて、演奏しながらrateをいじって音を揺らしてます♪"

Beat Freq Correction

"You can correct for the ever-increasing beat frequency when you go up the keyboard..a NUCLEUS trick!"

BIG BEAT DRUMS AND BASS TECHNO - SEQUENTIAL PROPHET X AND ELEKTRON OCTATRACK

video upload by PFM Module

" Just got the Sequential Prophet X a few days ago. Spent a couple of days just playing presets until my fingers hurt. This is my first attempt for a big beat drums and bass techno hardware jam combining it with the Elektron Octatrack. Modified a PX preset that has percussion and synth sounds spread across the keyboard, with eight LFOS available per voice and an extensive mod matrix, you can do a lot of sound mangling. Octatrack providing sequencing, bass sounds and scratchy weirdness. Kept it short as the possibilities are endless for either machine, both together hurts my brain. More to come."
