The Game-Changing Roland Jupiter 4 Arpeggiator: A Must-Hear Demo
video upload by Andy Whitmore
"Unveiling the Hidden Power of Roland Jupiter 4 Arpeggiator
| HQ DEMO & TUTORIAL
This video demonstrates the sound and features of the Roland Jupiter-4 analog synthesizer. Enjoy!
The audio is DIRECT, 100% DRY, & IN STEREO - You are hearing the raw audio as it comes directly from the synthesizer. NO post processing (Effects, EQ, or Dynamics) whatsoever.
The Roland Jupiter-4 is a very strong, agressive, massive, but also sweet sounding synth. The sound is really incredible for only one VCO with one Sub-VCO. In this this Demo you will listen to this wide range of sounds.
The Roland JP-4 came out 1978, mine is from Nov. 1979 with the later filter board.
The great features of the JP-4 are:
- extremely fast envelopes
- ultra fast LFO and also slow LFO to get FM sounds and very slow filter sweeps as well
- fantastic sounding filter with ultra fat and sweet self resonance
- stereo chorus, not so strong like in the Juno 6/60, but very musical
- nice arpeggiator with triggering by a sequencer or drum machine
- random S/H filter modulation
- fantastic versatile bender board
- you can trim the 4 voices and slightly detune them on the back of the unit to achieve a really fat sound
- polyphonic portamento
Watch me bring that sound back to life!🎹🕺 "
Moo Moo Dual Osc Overview
video upload by Todd Barton
"A brief overview of the landscape of this unique dual oscillator. It's really more than it appears with onboard filtered CV controlled noise (LP, BP & HP), 2 dual mixers also CV controlled, CV controlled octave scanning and Pulsewidth wave shapes."
See the announcement post here.

Popcorn (Gershon Kingsley) -Variation Live on a DIY Analog-Modular System
video upload by Andreas Remshagen
"This is probably the thousandth version of Popcorn, but it's somehow also a must for analog synth freaks like me. It's played live and runs partly via Midi to CV/Gate and partly via analogue sequencer. I described the devices i used in the video. Have fun :)"

"Moo Moo Dual Oscillator is available now!
I’ve been working on analogue designs since I got asthma during pandemic and had to take a break from singing…
This multiple layered dual oscillator produces a wide array of sounds from pure tones to complex noise and has some unique qualities that I’m really happy with. And today, finally ready to release…
There are some module introductions below. Please contact me for more details if you’re interested. Thank you so much for your support!
The Moo Moo Dual Oscillator from Beanie Bunnie features:
2 x Fully featured through zero analogue oscillators.
1 x Analogue Noise source with dedicated analogue state variable filter.
2 x 2 input mixers with inverted outputs for extra wave shaping options, plus CV and manual controls for crossfading between each input.
2 x Octave controls with 5 octave range and CV control.
Each oscillator section features:
Individual outputs for Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square and Pulse wave forms (+/-5V).
1 x Through zero linear frequency modulation (TZ LIN FM) input which is normalled to the output of the opposite mixer/crossfader and a TZ LIN FM amount control.
1 x TZ OFFSET control that offsets the through zero modulation 0 crossing point and also acts as a coarse tune for the oscillator frequency.
1 x Large fine tune control that has a 1 octave range for precise setting of the frequency.
1 x Octave with CV input that has a 5 octave range.
1 x Pulse Width Control and with CV modulation (PWM) input.
1 x Noise amount control that sends the output of the filtered noise section directly into the through zero modulation of the oscillator (this is in parallel with TZ LIN FM input).
1 x Sync control with option of setting both oscillators to hard or soft sync via the mode button.
1 x Exponential Frequency Modulation Input for V/Octave connection from a keyboard. The right input is normalled to the left so both oscillators can follow keyboard pitch with only one connection.
Each mixer section features:
2 x Inputs (A and B) for audio or CV sources.
1 x Crossfader control plus CV input that can also act as a volume control or VCA when only one of the mixer inputs is used.
The noise section features:
1 x Analogue noise source (sent into the filter).
1 x Analogue state variable filter with selectable Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass modes.
1 x Mode select button with hold function to switch the oscillator sync between hard or soft sync.
1 x Filter resonance control.
1 x Filter frequency control.
1 x Filter frequency CV input.
1 x Filtered noise output.
The other modules shown in the video are the Tiny Tot Utility and the Huhu 4 Att-Verter.
The Tiny Tot Utility features:
2 x 2 input mixers with bipolar attenuverters for each input and one input normalled to +5V.
2 x Manual or CV controlled dividers with setting for /2, /4, /8 and /16.
The Huhu 4 Att-Verter features:
4 x Attenuverters with dedicated outputs.
1 x Mixed output for channels 1 and 2.
1 x Mixed output for channels 3 and 4.
1 x Mixed output for all channels.
Channels 2 and 4 are normalled to +5V.

Knobcon cinematic techno modular synth performance by POB
video upload by Patrick POB OBrien
"This was my 76th live performance and the best one yet!
Knobcon performance in the Big Room with a metallic and cinematic all-modular techno set, and I loved every second of it.
Big ups to Mike Cameron for the invite to play this year, to Damon / OSC1Nation and Skyler / KittySpit for being so supportive since the beginning of my modular journey, to Nick / Dub Station Zero for being my hype man, to Brandy / Space Racer for mega support, to the Noise Engineering team for getting me to this con to feature the new Xer Mixa and hang with so many great people at the booth, and to Patrick Leonard for being a constant mentor and inspiration.
Modules in two cases, 2 row 104 HP and 2 row 60 HP.

Gorgeous Suiko VS-1 synthesizer (and free sample pack!)
video upload by Alpha Chrome Yayo
"I adore this synthesizer, built in Ikebukuro in the '80s and originally designed to soundtrack poetry readings
I wanted to share the joy, so here's a free sample pack with all eight voices and some more info about the instrument:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...
If you dig it, I'd love it if you checked me out on Bandcamp - it's the very best way to support me about what I do. And, my full discog is 90% off!
