Monotrail Tech Talk Eurorack Sound Design Sessions - Noise & Transients

Can NOISE make you sound better!? – Eurorack Sound design sessions

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"Noise is a common ingredient in synthesis. But many stand alone synths have limited ways to use it. In this video I explore some ways to patch and use noise in modular patches. Not just the classic white noise. But also sampled and self made noise!

My sounds changed when I discovered transients! – Eurorack sound design ep2

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"A transient - or the short start of a sound - has a lot of impact on how a sound is perceived. Yet a lot of synths and patches don’t explore transients very well. With a modular system, there are many ways to create and sculpt transients in detail, so in this video we take a closer look at some options!

MeloDICER/MEX3: Jam with PERfourMER MKII and DRM1 MKIV

video upload by vermonagear

"In our latest video, we demonstrate a live setup with two meloDICER-MEX3 eurorack module combinations and randomRHYTHM as sequencer.

The modules sequence four channels of the DRM1 MKIV and all four channels of the PERfourMER MKII.

Pinging the VCF - 90 Second Patch Tips

video upload by Morphor

"The Morphor VCF is pingable! Sending short triggers or gates to the input and setting up the cut-off frequency and resonance just right can create some really awesome oscillations. Because our VCF is mutli-mode, you can layer the the Low Pass and High Pass outputs for interesting interactions. Adding modulations to the cut-off via it's CV input can enhance the sound even more. Happy Morphing!

00:08 Short triggers
00:09 Adjust the resonance for sustain
00:16 Add a short envelope to reduce trigger lengths
00:22 Add the High Pass output for more interactions
00:37 Add modulation to the cut-off CV input
00:57 Add another envelope with VCA for more control of the modulation
01:17 Reduce the LFO level for more subtle modulation
01:27 Happy Morphing!"

Multi Output Flexible Wobbly Modulation // Expert Sleepers Otterley (Eurorack LFO Demo)

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the latest in the line of analogue Eurorack modules from Expert Sleepers ... Otterley. It's a multi output (5 to be specific) LFO with a flexible feature set for varied modulation across your patches.

The first 4 outputs can be sines or squares and feature global controls and modulation for speed (frequency) and also the spread of rates between the LFOs. You can scale these from -10V to 0V, -5V to +5V or 0V to +10V outputs. There's then a final fifth LFO that's individually speed controlled and always a sine wave."

Liquid Sky D-Vices - V4CO + Expander

video upload by NOISEBUG

"This is the Liquid Sky D-Vices V4CO, a truly crazy sounding 8-bit dual wavetable oscillator.

dual 8 bit wavetable oscillator, each with separate subbass
- hard sync
- 16 x 16 x 4 Waveforms - different for each OSC
- Each module has a base (16 x 6) set and the rest is an uUNIQUE set of waveforms
- Single outputs for each OSC / SUBOSC and mix output (w/o SUBOSC)
- Analog VCA for each oscillator
- Analog overdrive controllable via VCA
- Audio / LFO Mode for each OSC
- Waveform shuffle
- REAL 8 BIT Sound
- Detuning Function
- 8 Oktaven
- incl. Quantizer (Chromatic)
- complex Waveform-LFO

V4CO is a bad ass unique 8bit wavetable oscillator plus subbass plus overdrive plus vca
The Glitch expander, or Glithc Expender eneables:
MIDI implementation:
Switching the waves/banks
Switching the modes for LFO, TRP and V/OKT
MIDI notes, pitch bend and vibrato on CC1
Random selection of two wavetables from the active bank.
The MIDI interface is placed on GLITHc and works exclusively with
the V4CO"

Wine Country Sequential Is Winding Down

This the end of an era. Wine Country Sequential was formed by ex Sequential Circuits employees when the original Sequential Circuits went under. They specialized in servicing and providing parts for vintage Sequential Circuits synths. I actually own a Wine Country "Perfect Prophet-5" myself.

via Wine Country Sequential:

"The Long & Winding Road Ends..Soon

It's been 46 years since musicians experienced the polyphonic sounds of a Prophet-5, and 41 years since the Prophet 600 introduced MIDI to the world. Sequential Circuits Prophets have made significant contributions to music, film, & theatre for decades. Since 1987 keeping the Prophet sound alive has always been the goal of Wine Country Sequential, and it's been a long and interesting ride. The ride is now over, Wine Country Sequential repair services for Sequential Circuits Prophets ended in December 2023. However, Wine Country Sequential remains open for business as the liquidation of original Sequential Circuits parts & manuals in order to help vintage Prophets survive in the decades to come.

Liquidation of Sequential Circuits parts, manuals & archival documentation continues. Original Operation & Technical Manuals, Printed Circuit Boards, custom IC's, sound programs, Diagnostic ROMs and various other parts are available for most Sequential Circuits instruments. Wine Country Sequential will remain open for business in 2024 until the parts are gone.

Visit WineCountrySequential.com and SequentialCircuits.com for updates reflecting current availability of parts as the liquidation continues.

The Last Restored & Warranted Prophet 600 for sale by Wine Country with a 30 Day Parts & Labor Warranty is currently posted on SequentialCircuits.com at https://sequentialcircuits.com/prophet600forsale.html

Coming soon to SequentialCircuits.com is a Collector's Corner page offering original manuals, memorabilia, brochures, and even complete original engineering fabrication drawing packages for Sequential Circuits Prophets, drum machines, & other synths.

Thank you for your previous interest, and best of luck with your music.

Kind regards from California,

Bach Prelude and Fugue in C Minor (Book 1) - Julian "J3PO" Pollack - Oberheim OB-X8

video upload by J3PO

"I love Bach and I love synths. The C minor prelude and fugue from Book 1 of J.S. Bach's 48 Preludes and Fugues is a standard for keyboardists, and is a lot of fun to play. In this video, I perform the piece on an Oberheim OB-X8, with original presets designed by myself. If you dig this, check out my performance of Bach's Prelude and Fugue in C sharp Major (Book 1), performed on a Prophet 10: [posted here]"
