Roland VP-03 vs. Behringer VP340 - Vocoder Comparison
video upload by Easy Tiger
"Since I happened to have these two vocoders with me at the same time I thought I'd do a little comparison.
I go over what all the controls on these devices do. I then compare the sound of the two units briefly and in the end I'll perform a track switching back and forth between the two units.
If you're mainly interested in the comparison of how they sound go straight to about the12:00 mark."
Spectralis 2 Tutorial: Turn any digital poly synth into a paraphonic hybrid analog synth.
video upload by MIDERA
"Do you have a Spectralis 1 or 2 (they are identical for this tutorial)?
Do you have a polyphonic synth that you'd like to do something new with?
With a Spectralis, you can use it's internal filters to create a paraphonic hybrid synthesizer by sending the external audio inputs into the Spectralis. Here I'm bringing the Access Virus TI Polar into the Spectralis 2 and processing it with the analog (and digital) filters. The Virus is using a very basic initialized patch that you will hear at one point during the video.
Now, WHY would you want to do this? Simple. Let's say you have a digital synth with no analog filters and want to give it new punch. What if you WANT to have a 'paraphonic-like' sound? This is one way to achieve that. Perhaps, for no other reason than to do it, because it sounds good. Mixed with the internal oscillators, it sounds a lot like my Yamaha SK30. You can do so many things - why would you not want to try this if you have a Spectralis?
I say that this is creating a paraphonic 'hybrid' analog synth - but if you use an analog synthesizer going into this, I guess it would no longer be hybrid, it would be a fully analog paraphonic synth. I don't think it matters either way.
Is it paraphonic in the first place? I don't want to get into this debate. Frankly because I don't care about full or partial articulations. To me, it just means multiple voices that go through a single filter and VCA. That's all I mean.
This requires you to have your synthesizer with Local ON, on the same MIDI channel (1) as the internal part you are using.
I think you could do something similar with the Elektron Analog Heat. BUT - I think the Spectralis does a lot more, because you can sequence the sounds you are creating, you can add internal oscillators, you can FM the filters using the oscillators, and a LOT more. It may seem complex, but it's feasible to do and hopefully this video helps guide you on how to approach that.
Given that the Spectralis 1 and 2 seem to go for around $800-$1200 (in 2022), and all that it does - it's really worth it's price. This does mean it's twice as much money as an Analog Heat (which probably does other things really well - I've never used it and fully understand why you'd go for that instead of the Spectralis - BUT if you already have a Spectralis, this is a great way to experiment with it. Furthermore, I found using this setup to sound VERY similar to my Moog Matriarch. You've got multiple filters, that can be panned and modulated in a ton of ways. I'm not saying Spectralis + another synth = Moog Matriarch, they're different. BUT the sound seemed very similar to me, with the paraphonic aspects.
I fumbled around a bit - because I had to learn things on the way as well, which goes to show that even after owning this thing, I'm still not a true master of using it."

New Elektron Syntakt SY Swarm and SY Raw machines // Syntakt 1.20 upgrade
video upload by Elektron
"New Machines for your machine! We have added, SY Swarm and SY Raw, to the #Syntakt to help you reach new levels of sonic possibilities. With this sweet duo, the OS 1.20 upgrade is focusing on the melodic side of the Syntakt and expanding its already vast sound design capability.
Taking a leaf from the famed supersaw waveform but re-imagining in Elektron-style, the digital Machine, SY Swarm, is all about that sawtooth waveform which gives you seven of them in one mighty swarm. Use it to create everything from a fat lead to an insane buzzing texture
SY Raw puts all the classic analog waveforms at your fingertips in not only one but two oscillators, to be used as building blocks for your musical endeavors. Add a pinch of noise and a spoonful of ring modulation to the mix, and you have everything you need to create everything from low, low bass to cutting leads, and melodic percussion.
The music in this video is created by only using these two new Machines. Go download this new OS here: https://bit.ly/3tU4Bbt"

New Instruō - càrn four channel signal processing utility eurorack module
video upload by Instruō
"New Module Day!!!
Here's the càrn :)
At its core, the Instruō càrn is a four channel signal processing utility with distinct functionality and individual outputs per channel. It is optimised for both audio and control voltage signals and offers a voltage-controlled panner with constant power panning, a VCA, a ring modulator, and a signal crossfader – all housed within a compact stereo mixer format.
As a mixer, càrn can function as a traditional end-of-chain summing stage with a built-in stereo VCA. It can also seamlessly expand to related stereo Instruō modules via its pair of stereo back jacks and included low profile stereo cable. càrn includes an optional stereo limiter that is perfect for everything between gentle signal softening to saturated drum bus distortion.
Whether you need a feature-dense signal processor, a hyper-compact summing mixer, or a soft-clipping signal mangler, càrn will meet
the challenge.
• AC & DC coupling options for audio and CV mixing • Voltage-controlled constant power panning
• Two-quadrant linear VCA
• Four-quadrant VCA (Ring modulation)
• Final stage stereo VCA
• Signal crossfading
• Individual channel outputs with normalling options • On-board limiting
• Back jack connectivity for expansion
