How to make a GOOD eurorack synth voice – with Nano modules

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"Eurorack modules like oscillators, mixers, filters, envelopes and VCA are almost inevitable when you’re starting with modular or expanding a system. But what things to look for when buying your first modules? In this video I use a compact but powerful synth voice from Nano modules to demonstrate a bunch of things to look for, all with patch ideas of course!"

SPROOM - Multi Effect Engine for Eurorack Synthesizer

video upload by NoisyFruitsLab

"Sproom, half space half room.

It´s based on the FV-1 DSP IC by Spin Semiconductor which got popular with some famous guitar pedal effects and is covering all types of quality reverbs, delays, chorus, flangers, tremolos, or combinations of them.

It´s stereo and operates with 6 MIPS at Fs=48KHz, or in other words excellent audio quality with a clean dry / wet path to adjust the amount of effecting.

It offers 3 banks with each having 8 different algorithms. In total 24 effects.

The input is normalized to R. Means with just plugging a mono source into the left input, the output becomes stereo.

Each algorithm can be controlled with one of the 3 potentiometers, or by conrol voltage.

Capable of -5 / +5V with the dedicated pot at around center position, or 0-10V with the pot fully closed. In other words, the pot acts as offset.

LED indication for clipping and CV ins.

The internal effects are tied to the IC and fixed. Bank 2 & 3 or EXT1 & EXT2 can be exchanged with EEPROMS on the backside.

Check into noisyfruitslab.com for the provided list of algos."

Sovage Engineering - L'Ecorcheur eurorack distortion

video upload by John Schussler

"I did a video a little while back comparing some distortion modules, and included the L'Ecorcheur. At the time I didn't really understand how the Glitchzr knob worked, so the demo was...sub-optimal.

Here's another try, focusing this time just on the L'Ecorcheur. Starting with the Glitchzr knob down, so we get a better comparison of its straight distortion capabilities, then later we turn it up for the full experience.

VCO is a WMD Legion in swarm mode. Envelope: Zadar. Sequencer: Stochastic IG

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - First Contact (with text typos)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Arecibo Answered - The end of the Fermi Paradox (if aliens landed/contacted us) :-)

NI Maschine+ and Moog Theremini (difficult to play with gear interference) Familiar intro to 'famous' aliens, quickly turns dark, as I’m sure plenty of aliens would enjoy some dark/creepy/moody music. :-)

The Arecibo messaage contains a few prime numbers and one semiprime.
semiprime =1679 bits long (210 bytes)
                 = 23x79
23 rows in the transmission
73 columns in the transmission
*for my jam I tripled the 23 to get 69 as my global jam tempo*

Ugh, and I ran out of time to fix my text insert typos and re-render the video... :-("

Bio Instruments - String Filter & Crumar - Per Note Sample Sounds - Mark Steiner

video upload by Mark Steiner

"Demo of layered new sounds (and then brief solos) that are new additions to my Per Note Sample collection for wind synths.

1 of these is an 8 octave per note sample of Analog Saw Waves played through Nyle Steiner's string filter. Ah, and the VCO happens to be from a Steiner Synthesytem Module.

The other 6 are samples per note from a Crumar EVI.

All made for wind synth.

Played on Johan Berglund's wonderful NuEVI."

Getting Started with the ARP Odyssey Full Size Kit

video upload by Korg

See this post for additional details.

"Looking for squelchy bass and shrieking leads? This limited edition ARP Odyssey Full Size Kit is ready to give you the punchy, zappy, edgy, tight sound you need. Korg Product Manager Natalie Chami guides us through the unboxing and build of this classic synth and takes us on some sonic explorations!

The ARP Oyssey Full Size Kit is a complete revival of the legendary duophonic analog synth first released in 1972. It includes all three revisions of the filter with the addition of both a new Drive switch and modern connectivity (USB, MIDI, and Headphone Out). Become a synth architect and join the ARP legacy by building an ARP Odyssey with your own hands!

All parts and tools included; no soldering or previous technical knowledge needed.

The track you hear in this video is by Natalie Chami aka TALsounds www.talsounds.com. All sounds used are from the ARP Odyssey FS Kit.
