Step Sequencer & Fixed Filter Bank 914 - An alternative to a VCF for sculpting sequences

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This 'Patch of The Week' shows the Fixed Filter Bank 914 being used instead of a typical voltage-controlled filter to sculpt the sound of a step sequencer pattern, and also how on this particular module the sequencer can also interact with it for more variation and movement. The module is based on the original 914 unit from the vintage Moog modular systems, something Klaus Schulze was very keen on using as part of his 'Big Moog' that he used for much of his music career.
Here the excellent Doepfer Dark Time sequencer is used, but any dual, or combination of 2 step sequences could be used.

Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

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?"
