JP6K Synthesizer by Adam Szabo (No Talking)

video upload by Elektronick Musick

JP6K made its first appearance on the site back in 2011.

https://www.adamszabo.com/vstplugins/...

"JP6K is a virtual synthesizer dedicated to emulating the famous Super Saw sound, first found in the Roland JP-8000 synthesizer in 1997. It aims to capture the essence of the sound and the behavior of the original oscillator. Even after decades, the Super Saw is still an important tool for producers and musicians all around the world, and is a crucial part of many kinds of electronic music!

Features
32 Voice Polyphony
2 Super Saw oscillators with Panning
1 Noise oscillator
Resizeable GUI
3 Filter modes: Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass with -12 & -24 dB/Oct
3 independent LFOs controlling the Filter, Amp and Pitch
Pitch envelope
Glide (Portamento) / MIDI pitch-wheel support
Built in Delay and Equalizer
114 presets, which includes presets from CFA-Sound, MASCHINENBAUERMUSIC, Mikey O’Hare and Grzegorz"

Creative & Musical Uses of Precision Adders, Offset Voltages & Transposing // BEFACO VOLTIO

video upload by DivKid

"In this video we explore creative and musical uses of offset voltages and precision adders. Using the Befaco Voltio we explore creating chord intervals both statically and with offsetting musical sequences, we get creative with adding asymmetrical behaviours to waveshapers, we lock in FM ratios with analogue VCOs and plenty more.

The Befaco Voltio is a musical voltage source with 0-10V or -5/+5V octave offsets alongside semitone offsets, perfect for dealing in chord intervals. It features 2mm banana outputs that work with probes and it is a very accurate voltage that they designed for testing, building and calibrating modules. As well as generating voltages it's features a sum input, allowing this to work as a precision adder for adding or subtracting CV offset values from both sub audio CV signals and from audio sources."

Tech Thursday | Enhance 2 Audio Rate Modulation

video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"Welcome back to Tech Thursday—headphones are recommended this week! Enhance 2 is a great module to expand your sonic palette. Our stereophonic enhancer provides unparalleled hands-on control over your stereo mix. But, as with all of our modules, there are a lot of modulation possibilities to explore as well.

Take it a step further with audio rate modulation and you can end up with expansive and unique stereo soundscapes!"

Drone Music | Maths + Morphagene + DPO = Motor Synth

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I saw the Gamechanger Audio Motor Synth MK II on the Erica booth at Dutch Modular Fest and I was intrigued by the sound and the mechanics of eight precision drone engines. Unfortunately I can't justify a purchase due to price and my focus on Eurorack. But that sound... So I was inspired to try to make something similar with a clever envelope, a complex oscillator and a drone engine sample. I am using Maths, DPO and Morphagene, but any combo of an ADSR, growling VCO and sample player with pitch CV would work.

This video basically covers the fun of combining a VCO with a Sample and mult pitch to both of them. It will open up a weatlh of new sounds you've never heard before, but offer a new level of complexity and awe.

I guess you can see this as Shared System Tutorials episode 45 too. So the series goes on, but the thumbnails are no longer directly tied to the series."

Granular Guitar

video upload by Instruō

"làrachd is utilised as an input stage for the guitar.
The output from làrachd is patched to the Onset Input of arbhar.

When an onset signal is detected, arbhar begins recording the guitar. Once the buffer is full, we can use the Spray Knob and Scan Knob to explore which part of the recording we would like to hear.

The guitar signal normals to làrachd's envelope follower.

The Positive Envelope Output of the làrachd is used to modulate arbhars Intensity. As a result, when a loud input signal is present, fewer grains are triggered from the arbhars Continuous Granular Engine.

The Negative Envelope Output is offset using a vincâ and used to duck arbhar's internal reverb as well as adjust the Dry/Wet Mix when an input signal is present.

arbhar’s Pitch Deviation Knob is positioned fully clockwise meaning grains are transposed up and down octaves.

Finally, the left and right outputs of the arbhar are patched to the cuïr, which is used for gain staging and final signal output."

09- The Pittsburgh Modular Taiga- Echoes

video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the "echoes" function found on the Pittsburgh Modular Taiga.

To see how the theme was created, watch the theme video in this series. It is comprised of several patches created on the Taiga over drums created with a Korg Triton Studio.
