SEM vs SEM - November 2023 edition

video upload by John Schussler

"The G-Storm Electro SEM VCF arrived the other day, and I figured I'd give it a listen in comparison to what, up to this point, I think is the best SEM eurorack module: the Studio Electronics SEM VCF.

(Spoiler alert: The G-Storm gives the SE a serious run for its money)

I've also thrown in the Bubblesound SEM20 and an AMSynths Obie XA. The Bubblesound is mostly SEM, but with some MS-10 bits grafted on that makes it more aggro. The Obie XA isn't a SEM at all, different chip, but is also modeled after an Oberheim filter so I figured I'd toss it in for contrast.

VCO is a Befaco Pony, first on saw then on square. Sequencer is a Clank Chaos. Envelope is Zadar.

Be forewarned: a lot of this video is me going back, and forth, and back, and forth, and back and forth between modules. Don't get seasick.

HWJ Extra - ’Noisevember' 01 2023

video upload by SynthAddict

"Osmose and RC-505
A long start to 'Noisevember' but I got carried away. :-)
The mix does evolve as it gets going.
Future ones will be much shorter I hope.

This was recorded before midnight on Nov 1, but I fell asleep during the render before uploading it. :-P"

THE PLASMA VOICE by GAMECHANGER AUDIO Now Available

video upload by Gamechanger Audio

See the dealers on the right for availability.

"The PLASMA Voice is a monophonic Eurorack synthesizer module that takes Gamechanger Audio's signature PLASMA sound engine to the next level by turning the current transformer and tube driver circuit into a new type of analog high-voltage oscillator.

Its core sound is produced by sending precisely controlled electrical discharges between two electrodes within a xenon-filled gas tube.

The electromagnetic energy emitted by the discharges is then transformed into audio signal through a specially designed inductor and audio rectifier circuit. The result is a diverse range of electrifying tones that vividly capture the character and intensity of a vibrant blue electrical arc.

All sounds in the video are produced by the PLASMA Voice.

Unlike previous PLASMA products, the PLASMA Voice operates autonomously without relying on an external audio source, thus serving as a fully independent PLASMA synthesizer voice with a built-in analog VCA, VCF, EQ and DRIVE section."

Tech Thursday | Folding LFOs with Fold 6

video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"It's Tech Thursday! In these concise videos, we bring up some overlooked and advanced features of our modules.

Today is all about wavefolding. There's a chance that you've used a wavefolder on audio signals, but they take a lot more than that. In this patch, an LFO is being folded, yielding interesting results

Happy patching!"

"By now, everyone knows the sound of the Juno-6/60. From the mixable Sawtooth and Square wave shapes on the Oscillator, all the way through to lush stereo chorus at the end of the signal chain. Junos may not be the most complex synthesizers out there but they are almost impossible to get a bad sound out of. Basses, pads, leads, arpeggios, it can do it all. This Juno 6 may not have preset recall or a DCB port like the 60, but sounds exactly the same.

This synthesizer is in great shape over all showing some average cosmetic wear. Sounds wonderful and performs as expected."

"This listing is for one original Korg Synthepedal standalone analog filter. It works great and has been fully recapped and even has new vactrols. The pedal is essentially an envelope follower with a similar filter that is found on Korg's earliest analog synthesizers."
