The last Eurorack sequencer you might ever buy: DROID Moto Kit Demo

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Imagine you could buy an uber-hands-on 4-track performance sequencer with haptic motorised faders, but you could modify or totally redesign how it works - as your interests change? The "DROID Moto Kit" (running the included Motor Fader Performer Sequencer patch) is that thing. It's 'done', and powerful...AND it can be changed. In this video I'll introduce the DROID system, explain basic track creation 5:41, and then jam from 14:57 onwards.

Thanks for Der Mann mit Der Maschine for hiring me to demo the Moto Kit. Given that this was designed by someone who actually plays live, you might expect that my next step is to try this as my live case sequencer."

18:41 Genetics

"A walkthrough of the LEGEND HZ from Synapse Audio. It sounds great and has some lovely presets that demo some lovely Hans Zimmer cinematic effects.. check them out at @10:43 which led me to realise the unique aspect of this is the amount of access the modulation matrix give you to all the parameters.

If this was sold as a virtual modular system there would be patch points and cables all over the place.. and an awful lot of confusion! But it somehow gets the flexibility without the complexity. Having even the effects and filter bank parameters as modulation destinations really opens things up.

You can go from super simple to suyper complex in minutes. The MSEG envelopes/LFOs are so easy to use but really drive you into sound design and experimentation."

Groc Synth - Pre-Superbooth Patch Tour

video upload by oddment audio

"We are flying to Berlin today for Superbooth 24! Come and see us at table Z064.

We just announced a pre-order list for a small, refundable fee, so no reason to wait...order your Groc now and it will ship in 2025! @c1sao3nbvzbvdohqm6thci5coji5ml

Groc is still in development which means the list of parameters available is growing and changing over time. With a touch screen we can keep iterating on the most intuitive ways to offer these secondary parameters. In this video I take a tour and play with some patches I made with the current set of parameters and modulators. We have also made a lot of progress on offering multiple layers. We plan to offer four that can be used as a multi-timbral synth, a multi-track looper and all kinds of other combinations."

Waldorf M - QCOMP Board Demo

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"This showcases some sounds of my Waldorf M with a passband level loss modification board for the analogue VCF. This simple board reduces some of the level drop on higher resonance settings and accentuates the coloration of the oscillator MW1 Mode. More info here: https://maffez.com/?page_id=4003"

Spectral Processors - 296t vs Sputnik vs Fumana vs Bark Filter

video upload by Stazma

"This is a BIG one. I will try to compare the four main big Buchla inspired "Spectral Processor" modules:
The Buchla & Tiptop 296t, the Sputnik Spectral Processor, the Verbos Electronics Bark Filter and the Frap Tools Fumana.
You will see they all sound and behave quite diferently and this is why I guess this video might of some interest.

Have fun!"
