#circuitbending #yamahapss #FMsynth
A classic FM Yamaha synth circuit bent by yours truly. Mods include:

- Pitch control (LTC1799)
- Glitch controls ( Rotary switches and pushbuttons)

I had bent this keyboard a while ago and updated some mods very recently.
This one has been used to create this video I did a while ago: [video below]

Enjoy!

I can build instruments on request, so, if interested please enquire!

A GUY CALLED GERALD live GCG style jam

video upload by A GUY CALLED GERALD

"I Don’t have a particular type of dance music that I do I just love bass and rhythm. It’s hard to find the right concentration of sound that I need from The DJ world so I have to make it myself and this is an example of what I play live with two computers playing Propellerhead reason"

Moog Taurus III vs. Moog Minitaur --- is there a difference?

video upload by manmade madman

"There's a lack of good demos on the Moog Taurus 3 pedals, so here we go!
This one goes through the sounds to hear what its presets are, and then I spend just a few minutes programming the sounds. You can really hear the growl of the unique filter and the subharmonics it generates.
THEN
I take a look at an affordable alternative, the Moog Minitaur. Mostly, I program it live, talk a little bit about it and how great it is, especially for such a small form factor and price point.
Spoiler: It's so close in architecture and in sound that I think it's a reasonable replacement for the Taurus. Take a look at the all in one Minitaur demo I did over 10 years ago."

moog minitaur demo (by manmademadman)

video upload by manmade madman

"first day with the minitaur. loving it so far. very very raw and dirty. i havent yet compared it to my midimoog, but will soon.

This video is intended to show what it can do and the sounds its capable of. Realtime knob tweaking on some sounds, others are static and multitracked. I feel that gear specific demos that include other instruments, effects, or mastering and sweetening (eq, compression, reverb) don't allow people to REALLY hear what the instrument is doing. And this goes especially for people who insist on using the camera mic instead of simply recording the output into their computer.

So with that in mind, this is a multitracked thing done as fast as possible. Tracks are playing out of Cakewalk Sonar X1d, and minitaur is going straight into Speck Xtramix CXi, into RME Fireface 800@44.1/24 bit, encoded at H.264 with 384k audio.
then of course into YouTubes compression engine.

Hopefully as little as possible has been added or taken away."

Patch Diary 002: Sequential Prophet Rev 4

video upload by Bloom Music

"Let's make this patch.

This is a new video series where I create a patch from scratch and explain it (with subtitles) along the way.

The synth for today was the Sequential Prophet Rev 4.

The effects used were:
Earthquaker Devices Space Spiral
Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo

This time, I made a dreamy, phasey pad patch."

Trismegistus - part 2 by Invisible Acropolis

A new release from supporting member, Invisible Acropolis.

"This album was composed earlier this year, during a time of much reflection and contemplation. It's design recalls the early days of psychedelic ambient music, from berlin school to synthwave, as well as inducing visions of future possibilities lurking on the horizons."

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BASTL PIZZA // Elevate your Eurorack patching with advanced hybrid synthesis

video upload by DivKidVideo

"Here we have PIZZA! Everyone loves PIZZA right? Is pineapple on PIZZA fine? Leave a comment and let the flame wars begin! Joking aside this is PIZZA from BASTL Instruments a hybrid FM and waveshaping oscillator that packs in a lot of interesting sonic options and lots of clever CV assignment for working with the module as an advanced oscillator or even a full synthesis voice.

As always this demo is about pushing this with musical and creative ideas to advance our patches and exploring synthesis. Try out these patches with your gear and leave a comment letting me know how you get on.

Part of this video was filmed while full of a cold/flu bug. Filmed as the fever subsided but still with a viral party in my mouth, so apologies for the weird (weirder than usual) accent in places.

Sequential Take 5 Analog Synthesizer Sounds

video upload by Pure Ambient Drone

"Portable, Powerful, Polyphonic
The Take 5 is Sequential’s most compact, full-featured, full-throttle VCO/VCF-based poly synth ever. It’s the perfect gateway to subtractive synthesis and the creative power of Sequential’s best synths — whether you’re new to analog synths or a space-conscious pro. And since it’s portable, you can transport it from studio to stage without breaking a sweat or leaving any features or playability behind. Genuine Sequential sound and quality at a price within your reach.

Fits Anywhere You Need It
With 44-full-size keys and a total width of just 26 inches, the Take 5 fits easily into your studio or on stage. Its nearly knob-per-function control panel gives you immediate access to all of its essential sound-shaping controls. And its ingenious key-split feature gives you access to a wider playable range than other compact synths by letting you divide the 3.5 octave keyboard into two separate performance zones.

Powerful Synthesis
The five voices of the Take 5 get their distinctive sound from a combination of two analog VCOs and a sub oscillator passing through a Prophet-5-lineage 4-pole analog filter. The result is classic Sequential — smooth, warm, punchy sound that sits perfectly in a mix and cuts through clearly on stage. For even more analog-style goodness, a Vintage knob adds voice-to-voice variation for genuine vintage character. Dual Digital effects, a dedicated overdrive, continuously variable wave shaping, and front-panel access to analog FM all ensure the Take 5 can kick out modern tone just as easily as it does vintage..

Finishing Touches
The Take 5 feature set is rounded out with two LFOs (1 global, and 1 per-voice), two ADSR+delay envelopes, extensive modulation, a 64-step polyphonic sequencer, and a multimode arpeggiator. The premium Fatar keybed makes it a pleasure to play, wherever you take it."
