video upload by HAINBACH
"A unit with no markings and a hearsay history found its way into my studio. It is unique and wonderful, but shrouded in mystery. I show what it can do, but can you help me uncover it's history? Featuring @HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES aka Jamie Lidell

MiniMod Keyz User Guide - Basics: Patching the modules together, keyboard functions, LFO modulation
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"First part of our User Guide for the MiniMod Keyz - A full Minimoog-based analogue Eurorack modular synth and Cre8audio NiftyKeyz package available from AJH Synth. This part covers the basics for someone who may be new to the world of modular - how to patch the modules together to produce a typical monosynth sound, and the most important functions of the keyboard you'll need to understand so that you can start your musical journey. Later videos will go into more details about the modules and some of the other controller features.
This is a complete ready-to-go Eurorack synthesizer system, with additional Moog CP-3-style mixer, dual sub-bass/sub-octave generator, 3 input analog ring modulator based on the EMS Synthi/VCS3, voltage-controlled high pass filter, and a powerful multi-function, clockable LFO complete with random modes. Couple these high-end, vintage-voiced, and generously-featured modules with the extensive capabilities of the Nifty Keyz, and you've got one powerful monosynth."

Johnny Perkons joins the Marines
video upload by Richard DeHove
"The Perkons drum machine doesn't always have to pound out crazed gabber or hard techno. This piece started as an exercise to create a classic retro drum machine kit: bass drum, low tom, crispy snare and cymbal. Then I wanted to make a single pattern that could sustain itself for several minutes without sounding like a simple loop. So the tracks are running at different speeds, use ratchets, parameter locking, a little LFO and the "odds" feature where steps only sound every 2, 4 or 8 bars. Add to that a little live muting, one kit change, and some samples.
The movie clips and samples are all from the 1957 movie 'The D.I.'
Routing setup is: Voice 1 bass drum straight out to the DAW. Voice 2 low tom out to the Canyon delay then to the DAW. Voices 3 snare and voice 4 cymbal to the main out and into the Nemesis delay for a tiny touch of stereo delay. There is no sound processing in the DAW.
As usual it was very tempting to do further processing and add in some extra music but I thought it best to leave this as 'pure Perkons'. The samples are there because no one can listen to a three minute drum solo and remain sane.

"Rare italian 'orchestral' polyphonic synthesizer.
Like others in the same kind (Crumar Orchestrator, Siel Orchestra, Farfisa Synthorchestra etc) it combines in one instrument 4 different sections: strings / reeds / piano / brass each with several choice of instruments.
You can combine different sections by pushing 2 or more sections buttons.
Strings sound are really nice and benefit from a BBD triple chorus ensemble effect and a attack / sustain enveloppe.
It also has a nice Brass sound with a low pass filter with control over the attack of the filter (that can be very long) and a vibrato with adjustable speed.
The instrument was serviced and is in fully working condition. Most of the electrolytic caps were replaced.
Also a direct dry string sound output was fitted where the headphone was connected. Thus you can process the dry sound of the string alongside the sound affected by the built in ensemble fx.
The only minor isssue is the built in speakers were removed. But considering the quality of the system it didn't do justice to the quality of the instrument sound and it's not a big lost."
