Buchla Easel Command 208C - Orange

video upload by TheTrackdriver

"A piece of music recorded live. The two melodic stems come from the Buchla Easel Command 208C which is receiving MIDI from Steinberg Nuendo plus the internal sequencer. Some parameters are controlled by the Buchla 281 clone and the glide at the end by the 266. Chords are from the Waldorf Blofeld, bass from the Moog Sub37 and drums from the Akai Rhythm Wolf.

The blackbirds were filmed with a Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 with a Panasonic Leica DG 100-400 lens. The bird song was captured with a Røde VideoMic GO II."

S-CAT Filter & TR-808

video upload by Space Cat Audio Technologies

"The TR-808 is running directly into the Filter. Both sides are set to PHASER.
Switching between DUAL & LINK allows you to access FILTER I with modulation or FILTER II for manual use."

AJH Patch of The Week: Sample & Hold & Sequence - Sequencer-synced random filter modulation

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"A simple patch showing how you can use a Sample & Hold module to spice up your sequences, by having it generate a new voltage on each sequence step, then using it to modulate the filter in a way that adds interest and variation to each note or beat. This technique has been used in electronic music since the 1970's, and it can still sound great. It will also work with an arpeggiator, which is what I use in the video, or simply the gate output of a keyboard controller played manually.

Patch Notes:
Green dots show approximate pot and switch positions. 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.
VCO: This is arbitrary for this patch - I'm using 2 VCO's and pink noise from the Glide + Noise module to provide a mix of frequencies, but you can use any audio source.
VCF: I used the Ladder Filter as it's a more common filter type, but it will work with any VCF, and I'd recommend trying band pass with something like the Sonic XV, as that will scoop both the high and the low frequencies as the Sample & Hold modulates it.
Sample & Hold: The Rate control isn't needed here, because the incoming clock replaces the internal LFO. Multiples: Any can be used, it's simply to allow the Gate signal to be sent to both envelope generator and Sample & Hold clock input.
Envelopes & VCA: Again, any can be used, such as the Contour Generators and Muting Mixer & VCA. On the VCA's, always start with levels low at first.
Modules used from top-left to bottom-right: Glide + Noise, Vintage Transistor Core VCO x2, Transistor Ladder Filter, Sample Hold & Slew, Gain Switch (or multiple), DH-ADSR Envelope, Discrete Cascaded VCA."

Cosmos 🌌 (Waldorf M + Rooms // Vermona Perfourmer + Timeline + LoFI Junky + H9 ; Erica Synths LXR02)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"I used 3 instruments for this track (recorded in one shot): the WALDORF taking care of the pads, the VERMONA Perfourmer Mk2 of the bass, lead & plucks and finally the SONIC POTIONS x ERICA SYNTHS LXR-02 for the drums.

The 2 synths were sequenced by my DAW (as for the drum machine, I used it's quite powerful sequencer with the probability feature for a couple of notes).

The M (8-voice, hybrid digital/analog synth) is being used in multi-mode with 2 pad sounds (I introduced the 2nd sound in the middle of the jam), all through the DEATH BY AUDIO Rooms pedal reverb.

As for the Perfourmer (4-voice, full analog synth), the:
- 1st voice was used to play the bass.
- 2nd voice a LO-FI lead/bass sound thanks to the ZVEX Lo-Fi Junky and EVENTIDE H9 (CrushStation).
- 3rd voice was used to play a pluck sound. I plugged in the MOOG analog MF Delay in its insert jack, and everything was routed out to the STRYMON Timeline delay.
- 4th voice was also used to play a pluck sound, routed as with voice 3, to the STRYMON Timeline.

* Hardware used *
- PADS: Waldorf M + Death By Audio Rooms
- BASS, LEAD, PLUCK : Vermona Perfourmer Mkii + Zvex Instant Lo-Fi Junky + Eventide H9 + Moog MF Delay + Strymon Timeline
- DRUMS: Sonic Potions x Erica Synths LXR-02"
