Cherry Audio Voltage Modular Jamuary - New Modules, Bundles, and Updates!
video upload by Cherry Audio
"The Season Spectacular may be over, but #VoltageModular #synthesizer developers continue a winter storm of inventive new releases, updates, and bargains! Preview them and get the details in our latest post at https://bit.ly/vm-jam. Music by @waverleyinstruments"
Oora | Every Story Begins | The Mavis EP
video upload by Moog Music Inc
"Composer and synth enthusiast Federico Chiesa (Oora) reminds us there is beauty in simplicity with his new ambient release: 'The Mavis EP.'
The album features Mavis as the foundational sound of all seven modular compositions.
As Oora, the artist embraces a minimalistic approach to creating lush soundscapes with a defined set of tools. Inviting spontaneity into his music by way of fully improvised live performances and single-take recordings for albums like 'The Mavis EP,' Oora consistently finds inspiration in exploring new instruments and effects.

If the Krell had a Waldorf Iridium.......
video upload by Crybo Synth Sounds
"A generative patch I created. This patch is a single layer, no sequencer or arp used. Just loads of modulation coming from the LFOs, Komplex & looping envelopes.
Sounds for the Iridium, Peak & Minilogue available at:

Sound & Vision (Walker & Tony)
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"I revisited the conversation between Walker and Tony from MakeNoise and really enjoyed Walker trying to recreate one of the album patches for their 'Tales of two Systems' endeavour [posted here and here]. Whatever they do, it never sounds the same to me. His patch involved two alternating sequences, but the Shared System doesn't have a sequential switch and a basic Rene sequence can have 16 notes. His vision has 2x16 x2 playing after each other. So he had to use clock divisions from Tempi, sequence Rene state changes and clock automated Morphagene dubbing. It's a super interesting concept, but Walker clearly showed it's not an easy patch to direct/orchestrate/arrange. I tried this concept on the Westlicht Performer with Noise Engineering VCO's and the Morphagene. And I had a great time with it."
MARBLE Colortracking (Musikraken & FRMS Granular Syntesizer)
video upload by Perplex On
"#jamuary2023 day 24: Another take on colortracking using #musikraken app. Here the position of the marble is converted into midi cc values which control sample offset and grain density parameter in #FRMS app. So basically x position scrubs through the waveform from left to right while y position determines the amount of grains from high (top) to low (bottom). You can see what the tracking is doing in the screenrecording of FRMS @ImaginandoPt . Having the unpredictability where the marble would stop and the uneven carvings of the underground makes this really surprising and playful. Definitely have to try it with more sonic material."

Gliss Dev Diaries: Physical Models
video upload by Bela Platform
Gliss Dev Diaries
"In this dev diary we look at Gliss controlling Rings by Mutable Instruments. This is not the original Rings but rather a Pure Data implementation running on our Pepper module. We love Mutable Instruments and take great inspiration from their open source ethos, design philosophy and incredible synthesiser modules. We will miss them!
Gliss is the perfect counterpart for complex synthesis models as you have two dimensions of highly sensitive and high resolution control literally under your fingertips, position and touch size. In the video above we are using touch size to control the Damping and Brightness parameters of the voltage-controlled resonator. The touch position on the other hand is used to control the speed at which the excitation signal is repeated. You'll hear more about Mutable Instruments and Pepper in coming weeks but for now here's a snippet for you to enjoy.
Help bring Gliss into the world and be one of the first to get this module by backing us on Crowd Supply: https://www.crowdsupply.com/augmented..."

Neutral Labs: Pip clocked cv generator
video upload by John Schussler
"Along with Nijel (see previous vid), Martin at Neutral Labs sent along a kit for Pip, his new clocked CV generator. Its main selling point is the synchronization between the two channels: channel A can run at a multiple or fraction of channel B, and both are clocked so they'll stay in sync with the beat.
You can get some interesting rhythmic sounds out of your modules that have two cv inputs by using contrasting waves and different ratios (there are 16 'pages' of waves, each with two waves that can be morphed to make new waves).
The most interesting part, however, is when you self-modulate it. You get the benefit of the synchronized channels, clocked, plus interesting little additions that bring the whole thing to life (Spoiler alert! Skip to 23m22s for my favorite bit).
VCO: Chainsaw. Sequencer: Stochastic IG
00:00 Intro
00:20 Encephalo Adjuster
05:35 Nijel
07:08 Scrat
11:13 Pizza
13:09 Siren
16:10 Self-modulation"
