Seofon Introduction: What Sounds Can It Create?


video upload by Sonic Seed

"Mad Kid Empire's first synth: Seofon - After a year of design and production, the Seofon is finally here.

It produces a sound that sounds like a water droplet, or perhaps the next moment it will be generating a noise as intense as sawing wood.

Seofon

At the heart of the Seofon is a noise generating circuit consisting of seven groups of nodes in the centre, with direct outputs as noise, which are self-wired to form self-oscillations, or can be interfered with by inputting signals to the nodes to generate fixed frequency rhythms.

"Mad Kid Empire's first synth: Seofon - After a year of design and production, the Seofon is finally here.

It produces a sound that sounds like a water droplet, or perhaps the next moment it will be generating a noise as intense as sawing wood.

At the heart of Seofon is an organic noise generation circuit consisting of seven nodes in the centre, which outputs noise directly and generates rhythms by feeding signals to the nodes to interfere with them. Seofon itself provides three sets of pulse oscillators to adjust the pulse width of each set, and positive and negative phase outputs. Different sound events are generated by extracting information from the nodes into the filter. All sounds originate from the interference and extraction of noise signals from the seven sets of nodes. The synthesiser package and circuitry was designed by Mad Kids Empire synthesiser designer xamynot; the painted artwork on the back of the synthesiser was drawn from artist Yu Zhi.

Seofon

At the heart of the Seofon is a noise generating circuit consisting of seven groups of nodes in the centre, with direct outputs as noise, which are self-wired to form self-oscillations, or can be interfered with by inputting signals to the nodes to generate fixed frequency rhythms.

Seofon itself provides three sets of pulse oscillators, each of which can be adjusted for pulse width, and a forward and reverse phase output. Different sound events are generated by extracting information from the nodes into the filter.
All sound comes from interfering with and extracting noise signals from the seven sets of nodes.

The contacts make it possible for Seofon to be virtuosic, by touching different contacts in combination to quickly generate instant sound events, which generate a series of linked influences like a butterfly effect.

The Seofon lit version is without metal contacts and comes with stereo outputs.
Seofon standard version is with metal contacts, two left and right mono channels and one stereo output."

Anachronistic Ritualism (Eurorack Polygogo, XPO, Harmonic Oscillator)


video upload by PanicGirlVids

"These are some of my favorite oscillator modules at the moment, as I feel you can get very interesting sounds out of them: the Harmonic Oscillator from Verbos Electronics, The XPO from Make Noise and the Polygogo from E-RM.

You can hear the first synth voice at around 30 seconds, I added some metallic sounds and voices in my DAW for this moody piece to begin with.

The big challenge for me is to not get lost in all the sonic possibilities that the Eurorack System offers, but to create something interesting, but still 'musical' if you know what I mean.

I originally started with the bassy sound that you can hear around 1.20 minutes and immediately had to think of the album 'A Saucerful Of Secrets' by Pink Floyd, or more specifically of the track 'Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun'. What a fantastic album, don't you think?

Thanks for listening!"

MSW-810 FREAKOUT

"This is a simple clip of my modded MSW-810 synth, an awesome recreation of a Roland classic. What you hear is the MSW only (with a little reverb added), though my unit is modded quite substantially. More info: https://maffez.com/?page_id=3404"

Having fun with a mini Acid oriented eurorack system!


video upload by Stazma

"Today I'll show you my "Infinite Acid Box", a small eurorack system made out of System80's 810 Mk2 and 860, all driven by the amazing toolbox that is Pamela's Pro Workout, from ALM Busy Circuit.
It's a system I use live but this how I like to use in the studio to come up with cool sequences on the fly, very much in the Turing Machine spirit. The System80 stuff is here for what it does best: sounding awesome.

Have fun!"

I like them all.
Hope you like too
Thank you for your time"

Roland System 8 soundscape - when next we meet


video upload by MIDERA

"I think for two nights I tried to get my Jupiter 6 to replicate a patch from my JX-3P. It couldn't be done. It got 'close' but it was always lacking something. Finally I got too frustrated and put away the Jupiter 6 and got out the System 8. To my surprise, it was a perfect match. I shouldn't be too surprised because I was using the JX-3P plug out, but I don't find it's a perfect match usually. Well, this patch was perfect... of course, what you're hearing isn't the patch I was working on. I was just going through and really liked this patch I'd made on the System 8. Realizing I just have a lot of fun playing this synth I decided to make this soundscape and record it.

I also listed my JX-3P for sale. I know the System 8 is a digital recreation, but I have, for the past 3 or more years, had more enjoyment out of the System 8 than the JX-3P, and I kind of think that's what matters.

No external FX used."

Serge Modular | Episode 01 | Introduction


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I really thought I'd be immune to that modular virus by now. I was wondering what the fuzz is about with Serge Modular. And here we are.

In this series, I am not going to show off my extensive knowledge of Serge systems and patching techniques because I am a blank sheet of paper.

I know nothing. In episode 1, I'll start with celebrating 50 years of Serge with a Paperface 50 reissue walkthrough. The paper-panel kits Serge made for his students back in CalArt 1970's. Then I'll try to translate the sections to contemporary Eurorack Serge modules. I am trying to borrow a Paperface from Random*Source to dive deeper and make this adventure more tangible.

Eventually, this series will cover all Serge modules I own, and hopefully I'll be able to explain how they work, and how to get music out of them.

My knowledge comes from Maths, which was inspired by the Serge DUSG Dual Universal Slope Generator (signal ins), the Buchla 281 quad function generator (trigger ins) and the 257 voltage math (SUM, INV, OR, center attenuators). And while this knowledge is very useful, I had no idea the DUSG would be so different and SO powerful. Even with four years of near full-time patching experience, I still know nothing. Except one thing. Serge represents completely unexplored territory for me. Considering the low amount of Serge videos on YT, I may not be the only one.

Today I extended my case with the DUSG and the RES EQ from someone who sold his entire modular rig. These modules were the last to go. So many people either don't like them, don't know them, or don't know how they work. I am from category 2 and 3. Serge is often considered 'low level', like he's turning his modules inside out, exposing circuitry that's usually hidden behind the panel. He provides total freedom. Let's find out if we can handle that."
