Lunchbox Sequencer self patch - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular
video upload by LowGainElectronics
"Quick self patching of the Lunchbox Sequencer before packing it up for KnobCon 2023!!"
Lights Visualizer by Vaski.nl
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"I picked up two Light Visualizers on Dutch Modular Fest last saturday. They are made by Amsterdam based Veski Modular. For me, personally, they add a lot of value to my case. The spectral visualizer is really useful if you own a Spectraphon , but it also provides a valuable tuner and tons of metering options. Highly recommended for 'pimping your ride'."
Vaski Lights is a graphical display for your sound in 2 HP.
Also available in silver.
Led display that responds accurately to sound and CV signals. Stereo input and multiple visualization modes let you monitor and design the music you play in a new way! The narrow module fits anywhere: place it next to a synth voice, or on your master output. Keep your levels in check and see the spectral content of the audio stream.
The second jack can be reconfigured as a pass-through output for a mono input signal."
ST Modular - SPREAD MIXER
video upload by Stefan Tretau
"SPM is a 3-Channel Mono Mixer with three volume potentiometers. The gain per channel can be adjusted with trimmers on the board, making this mixer suitable for line and Eurorack levels.
In addition, you can pan channel 1 and 2 with the SPREAD potentiometer and thus spread both channels in the stereo field to the left and right in opposite directions. In the centre position, all channels are panned to the centre. If you turn the potentiometer to the left, channel 1 is panned to the left and channel 2 to the right and vice versa.
This is very useful to quickly clean up a mix and widen the sound spectrum in the stereo field."

The caverns of hell | Prophet 08 soundscape
video upload by MIDERA
"I think the Prophet 08 is the one of the best DSI synths (my opinion is incoming). It's better than the REV2 for sure, which seems to share a hardness with the Prophet 12. A stiffness? I don't know. It has something I just don't like. The Prophet 08 and Poly Evolver seem to have been saved of this strange sensation. However, the Poly Evolver, specifically MY Poly Evolver, has been a bit problematic since I got it. First, the encoders were bad, so I needed to use deoxit on them. After 4 months, I needed to do it again. However, I decided to replace all of the encoders with 'clicky' detented encoders, the correct ones as described by Sequential via email, since they no longer had the potentiometer edition boards available. I spent about 10 hours replacing all of the encoders. What I learned was that the encoders actually take 2-4 clicks to make a change. This is frustrating because I don't think it is the correct encoders (DSI has not admitted this to me, stating that these are correct). Either they have different number of detents or something about the specifications are wrong - or it's right and they never fixed how the OS views the detents. Either way - it annoys me, making the interface frustrating.
As for the REV2 and Prophet 12, I just never got or never get tones like these. Audio Mod acts very differently in the P12 than the P08 and PE. I don't know why, but they are very different.
Anyway, I do wish I had the regular PE edition of the Poly Evolver... but I'm tempted to just sell it, because I'm too annoyed with myself and the amount of work I did to make it almost as frustrating as before and the Prophet 08 is a joy to use. I could sit in front of this thing for hours and play it. It just does a lot of things right. I wonder who on the team was working there when the P08 came out, and if they left afterwards. I thought the next thing out was the Prophet 12... I don't know.
Strymon Volante and Eventide Blackhole VST used in this track."

"I'm way too obsessed with stereo-heavy chorusy synth arps. I guess there could be worse obsessions in life."
Bastl 1983 & Synthstrom Deluge

"I'm jamming with a semi random setup using the Bastl 1983 and the Synthstrom Deluge.
I explain how I have everything connected and then go on to jam for a bit.
If you're only here for the music got to around 4:00"
A-V-P Synth RITMOBOX // DRUM SYNTHESIZER with 5 VOICES // NO FX // Part 2
video upload by LESINDES
"AVP SYNTH's RITMOBOX unboxed.
Hacking thru the instrument for the first time.
Limited tweaking but very pleasant analog sound of all instruments.
Unfortunatley as you can see was the sturdy RITMOBOX damaged on transport due to back packaging. The shaft of the volume pot was bent. Fortunately the RITMOBOX is a solid beast with its pots screwed to the surface. Otherwise the pot would have broken out of the board. As a result of the shock 4 multipurpose button caps fell off their sockets. A hefty violent shaking is necessary that they leave their positions."
