Mutuca Pro from Arthur Joly, sounds and demo

"A quick look at some of the features in the Mutuca Pro, a hand-build monophonic analogue synth from Brazil developed by Arthur Joly. Only 13 were built and this is No.2."

Sovage Engineering - Le Brasier and L'Ecorcheur compared

video upload by John Schussler

"I've had L'Ecorcheur for a while and been very happy with it, so figured I should get a Brasier as well to keep L'Ecorcheur company.

They're similar, but different enough that I understand why they both exist. They have distinctive sounds, and different controls, so it seemed worthwhile to record them back to back.

And apparently their distortion is so meaty they manage to take the camera off angle (without me noticing). That takes some serious gronk.

Have Yourself A Merry Little GXmas

video upload by sequentix

"A little bit of festive cheer on the Yamaha GX-1 - the first true analogue polysynth.
Retrofitting the GX with MIDI and resolving some major voice board reliability issues has been a long-term side project here, but will be complete in early 2024. More video to come...
Thanks to Leona for the lovely performance."

Serge GTS (eurorack) goes FM

video upload by Serge Modular | Random*Source

"ow does a slope generator sound? Here two Serge GTS are used as VCO(s), mixer, envelope generator, filter and finally for FM (with an added VCFS), controlled via 1V/Oct and Midi / keyboard.

The Serge GTS is a complete redesign of the famous Serge Dual Universal Slope Generator (DUSG) by Serge himself - with a new core, optimized for speed and tracking. Like some of the clones it can be used for CV, but provides exceptional audio performance: transient rise times as fast as 12µs and a maximum cycle speed of 28kHz."

Flip your arps! Generating complex arpeggios with soft sync

video upload by Electrum Modular

"To begin phasing out my Behringer Neutron (the first piece of electronic gear I ever bought, back in 2018), I’ve just acquired two new oscillators: Intellijel’s Dixie II+ and Shakmat’s Banshee Reach. Both feature a 'soft sync' option, whereas Neutron has only hard sync. Oscillator sync is generally touted for its distinctive timbral effects. I’ve never seen any discussion of its use at lower (sub-audio) frequencies. But looking at its effect on the waveform, I reckoned soft sync might generate some interesting arpeggios. Here are the results of my experiments!

NOTE: the folded shape of these arpeggios led me to also experiment with using a wavefolder (Intellijel’s Bifold). This worked – and has the advantage of preserving the period/frequency of the arpeggio, and thus the time signature. But as you increase the fold, the arpeggio begins to sound too chaotic. I guess there is a sweet spot (or range) between a bog-standard arpeggio and a formless sequence of notes.
