Hans Zimmer -"Time" (From 'Inception'), Modular Rendition | Expert Sleepers ES-9, VCO-2RM, Plaits...

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

Thanks for watching!
I decided to try some of the features of my new Expert Sleepers ES-9 Module, and using the Ableton CV Instrument tool, I managed to send CV/Gate info from MIDI directly through the ES-9 and into various oscillators, and back into the interface to record. It was split into 4 monophonic voices, and I was using Plum Audio's OCP (Ornament & Crime Plus) module's 4xEG mode, for the Envelope Generator. You can see the triggers of the notes by the flashing of the Analogue Solutions LED CV Cables, which is also a recent addition to me trying to make my videos look like Richard Devine's :)

Five 100% Erica Synths PERKONS Techno jams

video upload by Dave Mech

"Here's another video with a couple of jams. I left some of the parts in where you can see i'm experimenting a bit and trying to find where to take things. It's the parts where I landed on something great :). Now a matter of getting a feel for this instrument to more or less do this with eyes closed. I'm just experimenting right now to see how to get energetic grooves out of this thing quickly. To do it quickly will take some time to get the muscle memory in place. And much more to explore sound wise as well. You can really use the LFO in creative ways to take the sound pallet further.

Enjoy!

The Matttech Modular Guide to Selling #Eurorack - Matttech Modular Closes Shop

video upload by MATTHS

Some interesting insight from a former online modular shop.

"#MATTHS chats with Matt Preston, who up until recently, ran Mattech Modular. As a #Eurorack specialist, the shop sold modules from across most of the makers at the time. Today we chat about the current climate of selling eurorack modules, setting up a business and the pros and cons involved."

"The MiniMoog set the standard for a small synthesizer for the touring musician. Other manufacturers also released portable units more focused on specific sound palettes. This offering from Italy's Crumar (branded Univox in the USA) 'The Stringman' gives a range of fat analog tones resembling string sections of the kind that are now recognised as unique to that 'golden age' of early synthesizers and that are still able to cut through the mix."

"Demo of vintage analog synthesizer Korg Mono/Poly for Reverb.com"

via this auction

"Here's a unique, vintage Korg Mono/Poly.
It works 100% and was calibrated last week. Original Korg hardcase included.

Addressing the Elephant in the Room:
This amazing custom panel is handmade, the attention to detail is meticulous!
It comes from Japan originally, where I bought it.
I like to believe that the mysterious designer behind the custom panel is none-other than Satoshi Kon (R.I.P.), amazing director of Japanese films such as 'Perfect Blue' and 'Paprika'.
His brother was a guitarist and at that time, in the early 80s he studied Graphic Design at the Musashino Art University. Kind of fits the bill, but don't quote me on that! ;)
It's a fairy tale!
But who knows, right?

So the panel is glued on and the only way to find out the status of the old, original panel would be to destroy this masterpiece. Plus, on top of that Behringer (uhg!) cloned it. So this is perfect! It's a unique synth, sounds insane and is super inspiring.

Only a slight blemish on the front panel, barely visible and one of the wooden corners needs a bit of attending to (wood glue). Other than that; it's perfect.
