Buchla style sounds with Doepfer


video upload by Friendly Noise

"This is a new kind of upload to my channel, because there is no video, just sound. I found some old audio clips in the hard drive. After listening again to them, I thought they could be worth a listen.

Modules: Doepfer A-110 Standard VCO, Doepfer A154/155 Sequencer, Mutable Instruments Clouds, Mutable Instruments Rainmaker."

Setonix Synth and Bastl Dual Filters


video upload by John Schussler

"I've already looked at the Setonix Synth Marsupial. Really liked it, and was accordingly quick to order the Macropod when it became available. At about the same time I got ahold of an Ikarie from Bastl.

Between the three of them, I have a hard time choosing a favorite, and all are definitely keepers.

This is a short comparison to get a feel for their respective sounds. I'm not spending a lot of time on the Marsupial since I already covered it (see link in description/above), but do want it here so I can have a clear ear on how it differs from Macropod.

Source VCO is a Dannysound Cali Osc. Envelope from Zadar. Sequence from Stochastic IG. And a touch of Valhalla reverb at the end.

00:00 Intro
00:20 Marsupial
03:44 Macropod
11:28 Ikarie"

8hp Eurorack Filters

video upload by John Schussler

"So you have 8hp available, and want to fill it with a filter. Here are some options. They aren't all the options, there are many, many more. But a few new 8hp filters have arrived recently (the XAOC, CCTV, and SetonixSynth), so it seemed like a good time to compare them with some other 8hp filters I have close at hand. For the most part I'll be listening to low pass outputs only.

Source audio is an Intellijel Dixie II+, with a mix of several waves. Envelope is from Zadar. Sequence from Stochastic SIG. A touch of Halls of Vallhalla reverb at the end.

00:00 Intro
00:20 Zagrzeb
09:52 Filther
17:14 Marsupial
24:30 Vorg
32:02 Coiler
40:42 Ripples"

Dirtywave M8 - "Gauntlet" [Nintendo Game Soundtrack Remix!]


video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"I made this all in one day.

If you don't already consider the Polyend Tracker a hi-tech 'toy', then how about playing NINTENDO GAMES on it?!? I think that qualifies it as a pretty serious toy! Hahaha

I loaded up the classic NES game, 'Gauntlet' and sampled the soundtrack into the Dirtywave M8 tracker. Then I chopped out a ton of bits from the soundtrack, programmed some drums with one-shots, added some chord stabs from the built in synths - and created this new, fun, silly soundtrack for the game - all inside of the M8.

I also sampled some vocal samples from the ORIGINAL arcade version of Gauntlet to add more character to the track."

"Starfield Bound" - Akai MPC X / DAWless MIDI performance


video upload by Patrick Manderson

"'Starfield Bound' - was recorded live early Sunday morning on January 16, 2022 using a MIDI sequencer, 4 mixers, outboard compressors and a room full of synthesizers. This music originated from a shorter music sequence that later evolved to what is here now. For several weeks I considered breaking it up into 2 separate pieces sharing the same theme and later left decided to keep it as is. I'm still not sure it was a good idea to keep it as one.

The MPC X was used to compose and arrange all the MIDI data and control all the synths during recording. Most of the modulations were made with note velocities. Many parts were controlled with continuous controller messages. This is my second piece of music composed on the Akai MPC X and despite the complexity of all the automation and modulations, working with it at this level was very easy and comfortable. Much more so than the Yamaha RS-7000.

The Oberheim Matrix 1000 and Korg Minilogue XD provided the primary sonic textures for Startfield Bound - aided by the wonderful percussion textures of the Boss DR-660. A custom kit was mapped meticulously so accomodate layering of sounds using the pitch, decay and nuance parameters. All 4 outputs were used and careful consideration on routing the sounds to each of the 4 channels on the Soundcraft GB4.

The Roland JX-08 and ASM Hydrasynth were added late in the development of the music. I am really impressed with the sound of both, especially the JX-08.

During the summer of '21 a pair of new mixers were added to the room. The Soundcraft GB4 and a Allen & Heath MixWizard WZ3 replaced my aging Mackie 1604 VLZ3 which had nothing technically wrong with it, but it drove me crazy there were no eq disable switches on the channels.

Why two mixers? I would have preferred a single larger frame (24 or 32 channel) console but I don't have the physical space for it. Two smaller mixers works out great better for the room.

Tiptop Buchla 5 Sequences

"This is a mini-series on the basics of the new Buchla & Tiptop Audio modules. I'm really enjoying these modules and Tiptop has enthusiastically embraced the Buchla paradigm. The oscillators are sounding great and squarely in the Buchla ballpark."

Buchla Easel Command 208C - Luna


video upload by TheTrackdriver

"Generative music made on a Buchla Easel Command 208C. Effects comes from a Roland Chorus Echo RE-301 only. The program card in the background has a couple of resistors added and the Korg SQ-1 outputs random pitch variations.

I filmed the moon with a Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 with a Panasonic Leica 100-400mm lens."

"quick video to demonstrate the serge phaser - a 3 stage design from the 70s that i just finally finished building. not much info out there about it, so i hope this is helpful!

might have to crank the volume at the end to hear the noisy feedback tones..."
