"All* Roland Boutiques patches 👉 https://www.albaecstasy.ro
Layering three Roland JX-08 custom patches and playing a fourth through the Hologram Microcosm.
Using the Mosaic - MicroLoop effect mode and the Phrase Looper.

Endless fun and possibilities with this 'Granular Looper & Glitch Pedal'.

WERSI WERSIMATIC II

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"It's still here and we love it - so here we go again with new music :
The Wersimatic II - the previous generation of the Wersimatic 24 auto-accompaniment machine and probably familiar to fans of the Elgam Carousel, Böhm Solist 78, Elka Wilgamat and Godwin Drummaker 45 units.

The Wersimatic II has 4 sections on board:
Bass line tone generator
Drum machine with individual mute options
Various chord sounds
Various Arpeggiator sounds (same sounds as chords but with busier patterns)

The bass sounds great - very nice and analog.
Drum sounds are very analog - this is sound generation in its infancy - the hi-hats scare me :)
The chord and arpeggiator sounds were processed through the Digitech Synth Wah - a relatively cheap envelope follower pedal that’s a great bang for the buck.

The sounds and controls are across the board identical to the Wersimatic 24 unit as far as we can tell but the difference being the Wersimatic II was never made as a stand-alone unit - it was part of a large, double manual organ called Wersi Helios.
This particular one is unique : it has been transplanted from that organ into a smaller box with a twelve buttons acting as chord control instead of the two bottom octaves of the organ.

Special thanks to Organfairy for the rare schematics that were necessary to complete the repair : dude you f-ing rock

Vintage Audio Institute is a gear vendor and recording studio in the hills of Florence"

Cadence Demos

video upload by DecadeBridge

"Cadence consists of 4 square wave oscillators and can be used in a variety of ways.

https://www.etsy.com/uk/DecadeBridge/

This video demonstrates a few different things that can be achieved with Cadence. Jump to the timestamps below.

00:00 Pam's new workout is replacing oscillator A and B. All other oscillators are switched to cascade sync. Oscillators A, B and C are used as triggers to the Prok drum modules. Oscillator D is providing the tones while the filter is modulated by pam's pro workout.
01:19 Cadence creating drones and ronal rhythms using the internal oscillators.
03:04 Using all of Cadence's oscillators as gates to trigger samples in Square Instruments Sample.
04:03 Replacing oscillators A and B with external gates from Pam's pro workout then sending these through "COUNT" and out to trigger drum hits. Relaxing oscillator C with an external oscillator to then divide the signal with "COUNT". Cadence's filter being controlled by an envelope generator.
05:18 Oscillators A - C triggering drum samples in cascade sync with each other. Oscillator D clocking the Turing machine - Plaits' V/Oct
06:47 Oscillator A replaced with external gate. All sync switches on creating rhythmic tones within the beats.
07:42 More standalone drones
08:41 Cadence triggering Samples in Rample. Using the built in LDR and candles to change the rate of the gates."

Oktavision - How soon is now (The Smiths cover)

video upload by OktaVision

"Here's a favorite cover from our first LP with footage from Manchester and much more, you've got to spot some trivia in the script (for the avid Smithsheads out there)"

Note this is a supporting member post.

"The song was build in a patch I've made on the Virus TI, it's a bassline based on a wavetable which index is heavily modulated by the velocity of the virus arp, there are many modular patches running in the background as well, creating a somewhat wall of sound doubled with guitars and bass for impact and tonality."

The Qun mk2 by Nunomo - Building Sounds & Sequences

video upload by Signal Path

"The Qun mk2 is one of the most incredibly feature-packed pocket synthesizers on the market. Featuring a vast array of features ranging from standard oscillator control, filter & LFO control, a full-featured sequencer, granular engine and more!

The Qun mk2 is an affordable and incredible sounding solution for anyone who wants to explore the world of synthesis or just expand their rig with a compact and feature-packed option.

In this video we explore the basics of the sounds available with the oscillator engine and explore building and manipulating a sequence using the sequence editor and modifiers to create ever-changing grooves and melodies."

RK006 Polychaining: PolyMUX

video upload by Retrokits

"Here a small configuration demo for setting the RK-006 into polychaining MIDI Devices or MIDI Channels.

Shown here on a Digitakt but you can apply this on other MIDI devices as well of course. In this case samples are set to the same sound but if you're in the mood; of course you can experiment with polymuxing all kinds of different sounds :-)"

Expert Sleepers Aloysius - envelope/function generator

video upload by Expert Sleepers



"'Aloysius' is an envelope with an unusual AHDW (attack/hold/decay/wait) confguration, sometimes referred to as a trapezoid generator. CV control of all envelope times is provided. The envelope can be set to auto-trigger, turning it into a complex voltage-controlled LFO.

The shape of the attack and decay sections can be independently and continuously adjusted from exponential, through linear, to logarithmic.

The module is constructed entirely from analogue parts and discrete logic. There is no microcontroller or digital-to-analogue conversion involved and therefore no quantization of voltage levels or of the response time."
