Percussa SSP Makes a Comeback
via Percussa
"Bert here, founder of Percussa. Our SSP eurorack module sold out a while ago, in the middle of the global supply chain crisis and chip shortage, which affected a lot of other eurorack brands, sadly.
Since then we've had to pause production of the SSP, due to the shortage of chips and the insane rise of component and manufacturing costs. Things now seem to have improved, and we are now planning another production run of the SSP.
We are organizing a pre-sale! One of our dealers, Perfect Circuit, is participating in the pre-sale event. So if you want an SSP, get your order in! Once the units are sold out, it will be a while before we do another run. You can place your order for an SSP through our website at https://www.percussa.com/pricing, or through Perfect Circuit's website at https://www.perfectcircuit.com/percussa-ssp.html"
MiniMod 6U Full System 'Berlin School' style performance - Melodic Eurorack Modular - AJH Synth
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"2-Voice 'Berlin school'-style performance, and first of a few videos featuring the same module lineup from the new MiniMod 6U Full System, now available to purchase from https://ajhsynth.com/Minimod.html, pre-installed in a powered case. This is an example of what is possible using just single, modest-sized case, packed with an incredibly flexible, vintage-voiced, fully analogue, Eurorack modular synthesizer.
Here the synth is configured as two operate voices - a 2 VCO drone synth, and a single VCO with 2 sub oscillators lead synth. It uses all the modules from the Minimoog-based part of the system, along with the Gemini 2412 SEM-based dual VCF, and the indispensable Ring SM mixer, sub-bass generator and ring modulator.
There's a patch sheet/diagram at the end of the video, along with patch notes and link to the patch PDF at the bottom of this description.
The AJH SYNTH Eurorack range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.

"Outer space in a briefcase. That is the gist of the legendary Synthi series. The Synthi is capable of soft drifting lead lines, abstract snarling modulation, clean warm textures and anything in between. This is the real deal. Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Stereolab, Yes, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Jean-Michel Jarre, Astral Projection, Vince Clarke, The Who, Todd Rundgren, Recoil, Freddy Fresh and Ultravox are some artist known for using the Synthi series just to name a few."

"I programmed my synthesisers to play The Veronicas - 4Ever. Most of the work is done by the Korg MS20, The Erica Synths fusion Vco, the Mother 32 as the melody and main clock source with the percussion from the DFAM ran through a tape machine.

Adrian Enescu - Funky Synthesizer
video upload by Iancu Popa
"Piesa care da titlul acestui prim disc de muzica electronica (in epoca, se mai purta si numele de electro-acustica)."
Googlish:
"The song that gives the title to this first disc of electronic music (at the time, it was also called electro-acoustic)."
via Wikipedia:
"Adrian-Floru Enescu (31 March 1948 – 19 August 2016) was a Romanian composer of film soundtracks and contemporary music.
As an individual musician, he also pioneered the local electronic scene during the 1970s and 1980s. He graduated from the 'Ciprian Porumbescu' Music Conservatory in Bucharest, following the composition class of Aurel Stroe and Alexandru Pascanu in harmony.
Among his list of accomplishments are music for ballet in Italy, China and Australia, music for theater in Romania, Holland, Belgium, Japan, Australia, Canada, Colombia, and Costa Rica."

Arps and acid with Midicake ARP, Arturia Minifreak, TT-303, Dreadbox Erebus, Roland TR-06, Meris LVX
video upload by Jay Hosking
"A live, semi-improvised synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.
Important note: Midicake sent me over the ARP for free. I rarely get free gear, though I'm very grateful when it happens. There was no expectation for me to put it in a video, and no request from Midicake other than to share my thoughts with them. That said, I really enjoyed using it and I'll be keeping it around, as it strikes a nice balance between the "plug-and-pretty" of the NDLR and the "depth and detail" of a traditional sequencer. I've still got plenty to explore with it. Thanks, Chris!
I started with the ARP, because I wanted to see what it could do. I didn't want to overload the table at first, so I took out the Minifreak, which has voices to spare. Very quickly I was creating arpeggios and sequencing lines I really liked, and easily able to customize the lines to what I was looking for, from rhythms to polymetrics to inversions etc. I started with just standard major and minor chords, but it was extremely easy to customize the chords on the eight chord buttons once I wanted some 7ths and 6ths. And to have a chord sequencer built in was extremely helpful, as it reduced the amount of gear I needed on the table.
Once I had the bones of the song structure, I filled out some more parts, with Erebus on bass and the TR-06 on drums. Finally, I felt it needed something a little gnarlier around the interlude, and luckily I'd just picked up the awesome 303 clone from Cyclone Analogic. Once that was in place, it was just a matter of shaping the song through performance parameters. The final result is pretty cool, and adds some tones, timbres, and textures I haven't been getting as much these days.
Thanks for listening.
Midicake ARP - most sequencing (i.e. for Minifreak and Erebus)
Arturia Minifreak - three synth lines
Dreadbox Erebus - bass synth
Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot TT-303 - acid bass (using its own sequence)
Meris LVX - drive and delay for TT-303
