A deep dive into Mutable Instruments Plaits - PART 2!

video upload by The Unperson

"Continuing on from last week's video I explore the next three synth engines in the iconic macro oscillator Plaits. The jams in this video all turned out unintentionally mellow and ambient, and there are some truly magic moments in there. This video series may be end up being longer than I anticipated, but this is due to how inspiring the module is for making music!"

PROBLEM SOLVING UTILITY MODULE | ADDAC System - ADDAC809 Chain Router

video upload by DANIELE

"ADDAC809 by ADDAC System lets you route one source (audio or CV) through 2 different chains of modules, before sending it to an output. In this video I'm going to show you all the things it can do!

0:00 Intro
0:23 Chains connectors
0:32 Buttons
0:41 Chain A (Delay)
0:45 Chain B (Distortion)
0:51 Bypass
1:13 Order
1:36 Dual/Single
2:07 Parallel"

"ADDAC809 is a dynamic CV operated I/O router that allows one source (Audio or CV) to be routed through 2 different chains (of one or more modules) before being sent to an output. Six routing patterns are allowed:

1. IN > OUT
2. IN > CHAIN A > OUT
3. IN > CHAIN B > OUT
4. IN > CHAIN A > CHAIN B > OUT
5. IN > CHAIN B > CHAIN A > OUT
6. IN > CHAIN A > OUT CHAIN B

A practical example is to have an audio source, a delay and a looper. And the question: should the delay be placed before or after the looper? Sometimes you may need the delay to be before the looper as you may want to sample the audio with the delay or sample the pure audio source and apply the delay afterwards.

This small utility module solves this issue on the fly without having to repatch anything."

Arp Solus - repaired...

Chase Bliss Generation Loss mkii vs Empress Zoia's Shallow Water patch (synth & guitar demo)

video upload by MKDVB

"Shooting out analog warble vibes with the new Chase Bliss Generation Loss mkii vs Empress Zoia's Deep Water patch (a stereo Shallow Water imitation).

Comparing anything vs the Empress Zoia is tricky because it can basically be anything. I've always wanted a stereo Shallow Water so the Deep Water patch on the Zoia intrigued me. And of course, I had to jump all over the Chase Bliss Generation Loss mkii when it was announced.

This video tests these pedals on various synths like the Sequential Prophet Rev 2, Roland Juno 106, and guitar. For this shoot-out, I dropped the signal to proper levels and impedance using Avedis MD7 preamps.

KORG Dipole v2 by Sinevibes - with KORG prologue

KORG Dipole v2 by Sinevibes - with Roland SP 404 mkII


"Dipole is a through-zero flanger plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It combines two delay lines, with one able to run earlier or later in time relatively to the other, plus a switching feedback signal routing. Right around the zero time difference between the delays, this algorithm produces a “jet fly-by” effect with positive feedback – or full sound cancellation with negative feedback. Originally, through-zero flanging was achieved using a pair of tape machines, by playing two copies of the same recording and then manually controlling the difference in tape speed and position. Here, an LFO with a sine waveform is used to periodically sweep the effect’s time difference parameter."

TB-303 redux: GeoSync TB Super-O vs. Acid Rain Chainsaw

video upload by John Schussler

"I got ahold of a couple modules from GeoSync recently, the TB Super-O triple VCO and the TB-EFA filter/VCA. I also have an Acid Rain Chainsaw, and it occurred to me to wonder how the Chainsaw would do as a 303 source for the TB-EFA. How different might they be?

Of course they're different, but y'know, how exactly?

As with so many of my videos, this is just me trying to answer a random question of comparison between two modules.

Hardware Jams Distortion Challenge

video upload by Dj Puzzle

"It starts out pretty nasty. Give it a minute to develop. I have two distortion pedals in this one. A WMD Geiger Counter and a cheap $20 distortion I found on Amazon.

Running the Korg Volca through the cheap distortion and some drums through the Geiger Counter. Threw this together pretty quick."
