Elektron Octatrack MkII & Waldorf M jam

video upload by lushlow

"All 4 Waldorf M separate outputs are processed independently by Elektron Octatrack Mk II. OT is also used for playing drums and for live performance twaeking. Lots of fun with this setup.
The genre is kind of an emotional dark synthwave or something :)"

"A lengthy deep dive and demo of the Sili Con Cellosax module. I cover its functions, what it does within the specific patch it was designed for, and then I present an adaptation of the patch and perform with it using a guitar.

More information about the module: https://modularsynthesis.com/mems/298...

See the link above for additional info.

"This module detects musical phrases defined as continuous sound followed by a short period of silence It starts by counting musical phrases 1 to 7. They are indicated by the appropriate LED at the end of the phrase. After the 8th phrase the Go LED indicates and the mode switches to generating a Response pulse, End of Response pulse, and a Delayed End of Response output.

If silence is detected in this mode for approximately 15 seconds the Time Out LED indicates as a warning that this could be the last phrase. If silence continues for approximately another 15 seconds the Last Phrase LED indicates and the Response outputs no longer function.

Any new phrase detected either during a Time Out or Last Phrase reinitiates the Go mode where the cycle repeats. A System Initialize is required to restart the Phrase Counter."

At last: the Krell Patch on a Frap Tools modular system!

video upload by Frap Tools

"It's time to confront ourselves with a pinnacle of modular synth techniques: Todd Barton's Krell Patch.

Inspired by Bebe and Louis Barron's soundtrack for the 1956 sci-fi film "Forbidden Planet", this patch revolves around a 'modulation feedback': a single LFO drives the whole patch and triggers many S&H circuits that generate random voltages, which, in turn, constantly modulate the LFO speed and shape.

Patch Tuesday | Compare 2 | Comparing Sequences

video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"Welcome back to Patch Tuesday, a video series where we demonstrate the endless possibilities of the Joranalogue system!

Have you ever wanted to accent specific notes in your pitch sequence? This week, Frits explains how to easily do so with Compare 2.

Mult your pitch CV sequence, send one copy to your VCO and another to Compare 2's input. When the pitch CV is within your chosen window, a gate is generated. You can use this gate to, for example, open an extra VCA. This way you can create a send/return effect path that's enabled whenever the target note is hit."

Hello there!
I have been waiting for this giant beast for such a long time that I couldn't resist going in straight away with a video, on the first day I received the module.
So here you are my first three patches with it, on top of a basic oversview of how the module work."

Elastic Melody "Midi Update" 1.1 Session featuring King of Digital & Bleass Megalit

video upload by Oliver Greschke

"This video is showcasing Elastic Melody's new Midi features: Elastic Melody is the used only Sequencer, Track 1 triggers a drumkit of King of Digital, Track 2 is playing the main melody and get's doubled with Bleass Megalit Synth (right speaker) to add some additional shiny heights. Additional effects by Bleass Delay & Reverb and Molly Looper."

"Elastic Melody is a standalone iOS application and AUv3 plugin with 3 channels of synthetic sounds, an analog style step sequencer and 4 master effects. Almost all parameters can be automated and thus changed in an „elastic way“. The focus of Elastic Melody is on a fast and intuitive creation of melodies with a basic analog sound. You can use Elastic Melody either as iOS Standalone app or as AUv3 plugin."

Exploring the Korg Polysix: Vintage Synth Magic

video upload by Ian Dixon

"The Korg Polysix, a 6-voice poly synth launched in 1981 for £899 / $1095, aimed to deliver an affordable polyphonic analog synthesizer experience. Featuring the DDM2044 4-pole VCF, also found in the Mono/Poly and Trident, its filter was used in notable synths like the PPG Wave 2.2/2.3, Emu Emulator, and early Fairlight models. With a single oscillator per voice, offering Saw, Pulse, Pulse Width, and a sub-oscillator, the Polysix's sonic palette is rich.

Noteworthy are the single ADSR envelope for the filter and amplifier, and the VCA's gate mode. Modulation features for the VCO, VCF, and VCA, along with a delightful delay on the MG (Korg's LFO), contribute to its unique sound. The Ensemble and Chorus effects add movement, creating a timeless sonic experience. While pre-MIDI, it boasts CV/Gate and an arpeggiator. Save your patches via the cassette interface with 32 memory slots.

If you're eyeing a Polysix, beware of potential circuit damage from leaked batteries. Experience it virtually through the Korg Collection.

The Polysix's influence extends to modern synths like the Korg Modwave and Wavestate, both featuring Polysix-modeled filters. The Modwave excels at creating Polysix-type sounds (grab my free Polysix collection for the Modave).

Used by Tears for Fears, Geoff Downes, Eat Static, Astral Projection, Jimi Tenor, Global Communications, Kitaro, Robert Rich, and Keith Emerson, the Polysix shines in synthwave and retro synth music.

Dive into my videos covering classic hardware synths (TX7, Korg Karma, MS2000) and explore my virtual collection, including the Wavestation and M1. Don't miss the journey into the sonic history of these iconic instruments!
