"No clock Tuesday. I tried to stay out of time on this one, it's shockingly hard for me to play off the grid slowly. Too many years of trying so hard to stay locked into a tempo. I hope you enjoy.

ELECTRIX Filter Queen Vintage Stereo Filter (1999) Analog Filter - No Talking Demo

video upload by Nacho Marty Meyer

"Welcome to this very boring test (always the same sound) of the ELECTRIX Filter Queen Vintage Stereo Filter from 1999. It's Stereo, but I used the Matrix-1000 which has mono output :) It's great to combine with some reverb, beautiful harmonics appear, ideal for ambient I think.

"It's the summer holidays in the Antipodes and I was feeling guilty about my gear that hadn't been recorded in a while, so I added some effects and hit play on a MIDI composition from earlier in the year."

Ambient jam with the Sequential Prophet Rev2, Eurorack, Sloër, and Soma Cosmos

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jayhosking
A live, semi-improvised synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I went to the store to try out the Sequential Prophet Rev2 for fun, but they didn't have it set up on the floor.

"You should just take it home," the rep said. "Bring it back within 30 days if you don't want it."

So here we are, with the Prophet Rev2 at home. I love having so many voices that so easily can be panned into a binaural sound. The keybed and layout are fantastic and I just like playing it. The sound is great except when it isn't; something about the full-open filter or resonance is displeasing in a mix, though I often don't mind it on its own. Here, I made a binaural patch, with the same synth sound hard panned to left and right sides, but slight variation in the DCOs and "slop" (terrible word) leading to a very rich stereo feeling. One of those rare beautiful things you can do with only some polysynths (and software, of course).

In short, the Prophet Rev2 is a wonderful synth to explore with something of a frumpy sound, for better and for worse.

I was noodling on some chords and wanted accompaniment, so I started with the Cosmos (for some asymmetrical looping), and then took out my melodic eurorack skiff. It's been a while since I had it on the table, so it was nice just to hear these sounds again. Eurorack just leads me to places and sounds I might not otherwise find.

Ultimately, this jam came together in a day, and I'm always a little worried about those ones, because you might not like them as much the next day. So far, though, I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks for listening.

Self Playing Eurorack Pipe Organ Patch

video upload by John L Rice

"A relatively simple and mostly self playing eurorack patch that sounds somewhat like a church pipe organ performance? A single Synth Tech Circuit Bent VCO "played" by the Vermona meloDICER pattern generator sequencer with the Strymon Megneto delay in the Pitch Shift setting giving it size and magic as I manually adjust the Wet and Repeats knobs. Additional modules used: Erica Synths Octasource LFO, Happy Nerding MMM VCF, Klavis Quadigy EG, Xaoc Devices Praga VCA/mixer, Circuit Abbey Unify mixer, ADDAC ADDAC812A meter.

Sherman Filterbank - No Input, Wild Output Workout.

video upload by Signal Sounds

"Watch and listen as Michael Manning, highly experienced video game sound designer and composer, generates a wild palette of sounds and tones from the Sherman Filterbank using.....only the Filterbank with nothing plugged into it! It's magic.

Because we like so, there's also a free Soundpack of samples that Michael created during the video which is available right here, right now:

Polyend Play: Diving into Randomize as idea generator

video upload by Paul Schilling

"One of the funnest features of this little magic machine are the Randomize and Chance functions.

In this video I apply different levels of Randomize to a classic TR-808 pattern and a well-known 70s groove and see what new musical and rhythmic ideas come out.

Really impressed with the Play+, the great sound quality, the carefully considered design decisions, and the overall feel of using it…the playfulness it invites. I’m barely scratching the surface of what this thing is capable of, but you have to start somewhere!"
