XPO Tutorials | Episode 04 | Exotic woodwind & pipes
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"This video is about XPO and Maths, but it may work with any VCO that supports a bit of waveshaping and linear FM. Maths plays a crucial role, so without Maths (or equivalent) it's near impossible to pull this off.
It's always fun to make a new video, but this one was more than fun. I've been patching a bit yesterday, no goal in mind, and suddenly came up with a sound that reminded me of a bagpipe. I explored it this morning, googled the typical scale used and recorded in one go. It felt great to make some 'traditional' music on the modular instead of the usual weird bleeps and bloops.
LIN-FM
The 'secret' of this video is a) using the XPO's LIN-FM input while overriding the default sub oscillator with something more subtle like the sine or the triangle and b) creatively using the Maths channels to 'sculpt' pitch movement, attenuate it so it's really modest, and then patch the sum of all modulation into the LIN-FM. It's not difficult, but it will take time to find something convincing. However, it will be easy to find something really exotic, weird and fun."

Bocuma´s Esquivel State Variable VCF!
video upload by Quincas Moreira Music
"This is my first review of a mexican made module! Bocuma is the first Eurorack company based in Mexico. Directly from Guadalajara, this filter, inspired by the great Mexican composer Juan Garcia Esquivel, sounds great, plays nice and has useful features for a budding system.

"Esquivel is our homage to the master of space-age pop. We designed this filter around a diode ladder topology in a 14HP package, with the capability of switching between the three classic filter states: low pass, band pass and high pass.
To expand control options we added 2 CV inputs for complex cutoff modulations and a 3 input mixing to combine different signals allowing for enriched harmonics and a tastier resonance exploration."
Don't Use The Compressor For Ducking.. Do This Instead
video upload by EZBOT
"In this video I share how I do sidechain ducking on the Digitakt and most Elektron machines. This is a simple and incredibly powerful rhythm and sound shaping tool essential for multiple genres. This video is meant to teach you an alternative to using the Master Compressor on the Digitakt for side-chain ducking, in this example we will be exploring the LFO and working on a per-step basis."
