Metasonix - RK2 XS-VCA

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"Here is a quick look at the Metasonix RK2 XS-VCA module - a tube-based VCA module with that Metasonix DNA. At gentle, soft settings the module is able to behave like a pretty normal VCA with some tube distortion but with rising gain the clipping distortion gets more and more. Turn up the Feedback and all hell is breaking loose. Sounds great right!"

"The ultimate vacuum tube VCA which can be more, for instance a pre-amp with 30dB gain, an amplifier for stereo and signal-cancelling effects and/or an extreme distortion effect. It can be gentle with a moderate bit of tube distortion but on the other hand it can tenderize a piece of meat with its raw power.

At gentle, soft settings the module is able to behave like a pretty normal VCA with some tube distortion but with rising gain the clipping distortion gets more and more. Turn up the Feedback and all hell is breaking loose.

In Metasonix' own words: 'What does it sound like? Imagine a slightly tubby tube amplifier, suddenly turning into a screaming chainsaw. And flying around the room to break your sappy bleeps and bloops. A bulldozer on fire crushing your nads. Strange tentacles of doom rise up from the bottom of the ocean and slap your sister's asscrack.'
Nothing to add."

NEW!! Ambient Explorations pt.38 (FabFilter Twin 3)

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

Thanks for watching!
The FabFilter Twin 3 Synthesizer plugin came out today, so I wanted to take the advantage of it and make an ambient piece as soon as possible. All the sounds you hear were created from the Twin 3, I am also using Fab Filters Q-3. MB, C-2, and L-2 for mixing this track, as well as some Valhalla Shimmer for the long-release goodness, which is quite vital in this genre.
Enjoy!

"Unit is for sale here.

Here is a demo of the Roland DC-50 with a Juno 106.
I use a footswitch to turn the effect on/off and also compare it to the built in Juno chorus to give you an idea how they differ.
Main difference is the DC-50 is mono of course, but it can do echo. Also chorus effect is much more pronouced than the Juno one and depth can be adjusted.
Recorded straight with no treatment nor eq."

Mood jam w/ Oxi One, MiniFreak, MicroMonsta 2, Model D, Tetra, Polymoon, Echosystem, and eurorack

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live, semi-improvised synth jam performed entirely on hardware.

Big thanks to Michael at Capra Design for making custom stands for so many of these pieces of hardware. Go check them out!: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CapraDesign...

I picked up the Oxi One not so long ago and have been excited to finally get it on the table. It didn't disappoint! Here, I'm using four different types of sequencing (monophonic, polyphonic, generative, and chord) for the four different synth instruments, all on the same sequencer. On top of that, the Oxi One's diatonic transposition (called "HARMON" scale mode) has the chord sequencer controlling the transposition of two of the other sequencers, so that the bass and melody play along with the chords. It's a fast and fun sequencer that also feels physically sturdy and great (except for the larger pad buttons for me). Plus it's battery powered! Definitely a sequencer that works for me.

A few other notes on gear here:

The MiniFreak and MicroMonsta 2 continue to be great, and can play a few types of roles in a setup while also being compact.

I got the Tetra in a trade, because I was curious, and I actually think it'll be a great multi-timbral solution for setups with the Octatrack or other sequencers. More with it soon, hopefully!

The Endorphin.es Ghost is really working for me. Moments after I recorded this video, they released a firmware update that greatly improves the filter, plus adds signal-rate- and bit- reduction, which sound great and are super useful. It's a great all-in-one effects unit.

Oxi One - Melodic Sequencing
Arturia MiniFreak (using only its internal effects) - pad
Audiothingies Micromonsta 2 (using only its internal effects) - generative plucks
Blackout Model D through Meris Polymoon - bass
Sequential Tetra through Empress Echosystem - melody
Kenton Audio Thru - MIDI thru box
Eurorack drums:
- Intellijel Steppy 1U - drum sequencing
- Mystic Circuits IDUM - extra drum sequencing colour
- Prok Kick, Tiptop 808 Snare, Prok Hats, WMD Fracture - drum voices
- Intellijel Mixup - mixer
- Intellijel FSR 1U - performance pad for extending perc decay
- Endorphin.es Ghost - filter, delay, reverb, compression

Performed and recorded live, with some additional EQ, compression, and limiting, primarily on the master.

Thanks for listening.

Prism Circuits Synthesizer. Serge Paperface Inspired. DIY Synth With Modifications.

"The effects section of my Allen and Heath Mixer actually sounds great. I wonder if it's the karaoke digital BBD MN300X series. It's doing most of the heavy lifting here. The higher pitched 'note' is the single fifth gate opening up a section of the BI-DI router which is connecting the Osc sync of one oscillator to another."
