05 24 22 Buchla Modular

video upload by batchas

"I was checking the H9 in my system late at night, trying to remove the huge digital noise it produces and (as usual) I ended up jamming!
The beat is a loop coming from Kesako 'Player & Reverb' module.
The delay comes from Scrotum Lab 'Espace temps'.

Kesako Player on 'Player & Reverb' is an extended version of Music Thing 'Radio Music' and the top part of Scrotum Lab 'Espace temps' module is an conversion/adaptation of Boss DD-5 delay pedal where I added CV control."

"The #Roland #JD-08 is one of the "Boutique" synths inspired by 1991s JD-800, which brought back an analog style user interface to a digital #synthesizer. In this video, I'm browsing all the patches of bank A. Table of contents:

Live toolkit: MIDI to CV with Expert Sleepers ES-3 & ES-5 (in depth How-Tos)

via ty hodson @ sublevel9 lab:

"I completed a series of deep-dive articles on using Expert Sleepers' ES-3 & Voice Controller plugin and the ES-5 & ES-5 Controller plugin with Ableton Live -- with particular focus on understanding signal flow with these modules and plugins. I would've loved having something like this when I was getting started with Expert Sleepers, so hopefully this'll be a welcome source of info for newcomers.

In addition to written explanations, each post includes downloadable Live sets with fully working configurations. All you need to do is adjust the track inputs/outputs for your setup.
Screenshots are provided for reference as well if you'd rather work from those.

This one was spotted and sent in via M Me. See this post for some pics of the matching CM-64, and CF-10.

Goolish description:

"This is a very cool and ultra-rare MIDI controller. It comes with everything shown in the photos, including the instruction manual, original box and power adapter. It is in excellent condition and each membrane button is fully functional.

The user can program MIDI chords, even ones that are very difficult to execute, with a simple push of a button or two. It can also be used for live performances, especially if you're a crap keyboard player like me. I mostly play guitar!

The leftmost slider can be mapped to the following:
control
Scope
Pan
modulation
bender
After touch
Just press the button between the list of destinations and the slider. simple stuff.

The rest is very self-explanatory. Just look at the front panel. It's pretty much one button per function."

Marion Systems MSR-2 Super Patch Mode

video upload by Silicon Breakdown

"This video demonstrates the MSR-2 Super Patches that are set up on this specific MSR-2. Super Patches can have each 8 voice playing a different preset allowing a doubling of sounds and an easy way to make unique sounds.

New Patches are dialed in with the encoder and show and ASTERIK on right. Pressing enter switches to that Patch and ASTERIK goes away."

A couple of classic '80s synth setups

video upload by SynthMania

"A couple of classic mono synth + poly synth + drum machine setups used in the pop music of the 1980s.

2:10 Minimoog, DX7, TR-808"

Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody (Minimoog Bass Cover)

video upload by csmcrckrs

"Another holy grail song for funk bass. Dialing in the bass sound was easier than expected: Pretty much all the synth sounds and the bass lines are quite straightforward ... the arrangement and production quality is perfection, though!

Most other covers/playalongs on yt use sawtooth vcos and sound quite off ... the trick is to start with a pulse wave, and everything will fall in place pretty fast!

Gear used: Minimoog for the bass, Theis Modular System for the intro sequence, Prophet 5 for various synth sounds, Fender Stratocaster (JP) for the guitar tracks. Drums, mixing and editing done in Ableton Live."
