I Forgot how Fun this Synth is! +Free Patches video upload by Ricky Tinez
"Today we'll be exploring Arturias new 2.0 firmware update for the Minifreak! Its big addition are Wavetables. Wavetables are easily one of my favorite types of oscillators because of their flexibility and ability to morph quickly or slowly across chords, pads, basses, etc. So today I want to show some of my favorite modulation techniques that really spice up your synth patches.
"Playing around with VCF feedback to VCO control params on the Zoxnoxious synth. Showing that the Zonxoxious synth is beyond obnoxious and can route outputs to create control/feedback loops."
"A simple turorial on how to make granular synthesis like patches as well as generative sequences on the Korg Volca FM2.
Granular Description:
1 Set the BPM to its max (600)
2. Adjust the arpeggiator speed to your liking (up to 12 faster than 600 BPM)
3. The maximum BPM is technically 7,200
4. Add lots of reverb
Generative Description:
1. Put the Arpeggiator in Rand1, 2 or 3 mode
2. Rand3 is the most random (notes can play randomly in 3 octaves above or below the root note)
3. In Rand3 mode, the chance of a 16 note pattern repeating is less than 1 in 30 trillion.
"The Battering Ram is a bass drum synthesizer based on an original design by Marc Nostromo. This module offers precise control over various parameters, including decay, tuning, depth, click amount, and drive. These controls have been thoughtfully mapped to provide sweet spots at every combination of potentiometer settings. The drive section can seamlessly transition between two distinct wave-shaping modes, ranging from smooth drive/compression to hard-clipping distortion for core music lovers. For smooth modular integration, there's an additional output that mirrors the amplitude envelope or its inverted shape.
The module also boasts other convenient features, such as storing and recalling potentiometer settings, a 3-pole high-pass filter, and the option to use gates instead of triggers. Despite its compact size, the Battering Ram delivers a diverse range of bass drum sounds, from long sub-bass drums to aggressive techno kicks.

"Can't find a Serge Modular system to create a self-generating Cybersynthesis patch on? No worries! Just put this video on in the background (in full-screen mode), and have the next best thing 😁
In this background piece, I’m using a 1970s Paperface system with some Loudest Warning Serge clone modules to help with the AI composition process (top panel)
The usual VCO / VCF / ENV things are set up, being triggered from a combination of Positive Slew, 73 EG and the mysterious Fenetre module (a Window Comparator designed by Charlie at Loudest Warning, inspired by a tiny bit of the Destiny+ Czochralski Cells thing - Google it), which takes a CV-variable input and sends out staggered pulses, all CV-able. Some of these go to a 4-input AND module which is combined with the other clocks to give varying rhythm to the piece. The pitches are being generated from the Gated Comparator (Ken Stone design, Mk2) which is being altered as the piece develops by various interrelated CVs from the other modules and the vintage Programmer, set to 4 steps on a very slow clock, again related to the main clock via an 8-way divider, then into a 2HP Tune quantiser, which I supplanted into a spare hole in the cab. The Programmer also has its other outputs slowly changing things, such as timbre and LFO of the main oscillator. The reverb is from the Serge spring units (stereo) and there is a tiny bit of Boss SE70 delay in there (all being mixed via one of the Serge Universal Audio Processors)
The general idea is that its one great big interrelated cybersynthesis patch, and the sequence changes slightly each rotation. I think if you listen through to the end, you will hear a very satisfying melodic development, one that I was not expecting to happen. I had no idea how the melody would evolve, and for the first time in my patching life I was genuinely surprised by the melodic resolution this self-generating Serge patch produced"
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.
