Plasma Drive Eurorack module .. Quest for the perfect distortion
video upload by PanicGirlVids
"I have been on a quest for the perfect distortion for the last couple of weeks and I have been quite frustrated so far. Not a single distortion I tried seemed to fit the sound I had in mind, be it hardware or software.
But what defines a 'perfect distortion' you ask? That is of course very subjective and everyone would answer differently I guess. For me the distortion I was looking for had to sound very warm, but also defined, crunchy and if needed "brutal" in a way. On the other hand it shouldn't sound washed out or too digital and cold. As you know it can be pretty hard to describe a sound you have in your head with words ^^
My last purchase was the Plasma Drive from Erica Synths and Gamechanger Audio, and I thought why not try this one out together with you guys?"
凉风 Breeze
video upload by Meng Qi
"This song was composed last year, one day just like today——autumn starts in late summer, with cold breezes gently blowing day and night. So I named it 凉风 (Breeze). Also, I got inspiration from an ancient Chinese poem called 夏日南亭怀辛大 (Longing For Xin The Elder In The Southern Pavilion On A Summer Day). Besides, the song uses a vocoder from Madrona Labs Virta to modify my voice, shaping it into a thick and thus emotional sound.
Lyrics by Annqi
山光池月微凉一场 如梦
初晓 / 清音响 / 庭院夜来霜
启幽窗 / 帘卷浮香半添妆
清影荡漾 / 水木澹澹
无据 / 不思量
清影印杯 / 杯复一杯
云气冉冉渐隐渐暗
踏着 / 阶前 / 点点星乱
乱无绪
闲风拂散 / 簪花落去 / 乘夕凉
夜来 / 几度寒 / 风飒飒
还尽一杯 / 杯复一杯
寄愁无绪
夜微凉 / 难思量"
Test du filtre 1047: un filtre sans concession!
video upload by Nr Synth
"Voici la version 'reporter' du test du filtre ARP 1047 cloné par Mos-Lab ainsi qu'un comparatif avec la version Behringer. En toute honnêteté, Seb et moi avons été surpris par la version d'Ulli. En dépit d'un niveau de sortie moindre, le son est très proche."
Volca Modular Hidden Feature - How to Step Record Long and Short Notes
video upload by ChrisLody
"Here's something I found a while ago while I was taking a bit of a deep dive into sequencing on the Volca Modular, sequencing long and short notes. This is something that isn't mentioned in the manual but it's super useful for making precise sequences, if a bit tricky to use."

"Subtle but vital Monte Neuble drop (:05), check.
Another Bad (Adobe) Creation—DAW-less (apart from tracking in DP10) and free.
There is that piano sample of mine… which somehow happened to be very near to the proper key…
Monophonics and Paraphonics made greasy, how can we help you?

Knobcon 2: Hungry Rat DIY workshop!
video upload by Synth Diy Guy
Hungry Rat 2hp distortion - opamp comparison
video upload by John Schussler
"Welcome to the niche-y-est of all niche-y eurorack videos. The focus of this video is on tiny differences (or not so tiny) between opamps (operational amplifiers) in the Hungry Rat distortion, a 2hp module made by Modular for the Masses and inspired by the ProCo Rat.
To be fair, you'll still get a good intro to the Hungry Rat, which is a very nice use of 2hp. So if you're not opamp obsessed, skip around and just get the flavor.
If you are interested in opamp contributions to the sound, in this video you'll get to hear 4 different options. The 'bog standard' TL072, which everybody uses for everything; the TLC2262, which I gather is 'special'; the NE5532P; and the B072A.
VCO is a Doepfer A-111 sequenced by Intellijel Metropolix.
00:00 Intro
00:20 TL072
03:42 NE5532P
06:30 TLC2262CP
10:29 B072A"
