"Let's Take a 20 Megaton Surface Burst" - a DB-01 solo

video upload by Richard DeHove

"How many parts can a mono synth play in one pass? Here I think the DB-01 does a good job simulating three or four tracks and yet this is all just one live take, plus vocal samples on top for color. Music-wise there are no edits, no automation, no DAW EQ or any other effects. Everything is exactly as you see it.

The DB-01 runs into the Darkglass B3K, then to the Zen delay, and is then output in stereo to the Boss SL-2 Slicer. You'll notice the DB-01's resonance is at 100% with 50% drive. The Zen delay's input is being overdriven slightly and there is again about 50% drive there as well. Filter is set to highpass.

It's always tempting to start adding extra layers to these pieces, especially drums, but I like the simplicity and 'purity' of a DB-01 on its own. Hopefully that also makes it more useful as a demo of the DB-01 and effects.

Quotes and video are from the 1982 documentary 'The Atomic Cafe', an excellent movie which is a compilation of old newsreels and military training clips set to music and news commentary of the times.

Introducing: Touch Bass!

video upload by Synthux Academy

"Touch Bass is part of the Simple Touch family. Touch Bass is a powerhouse polyphonic subtractive synthesizer packed with features! Built-in arpeggiator, Euclidean rhythms, internal modulations, reverb, and more. In this video, I attempt to play three units simultaneously to create a stereo-rhythmic sound experience! Tune in to see if I succeed or if it's just a cacophony of chaos. Spoiler: it's going to be epic either way!"

Quick, Fun & Musical! Triple Eurorack Filter with Snapshots // Etna by Patching Panda

video upload by DivKid

"Here's Etna, an advanced morphing self animating and sequenced triple multimode analogue filter from Patching Panda. While Etna has all your standard filter controls and modulation inputs it comes with a simple to use, quick and fun ... and musical! ... snapshot control. It's always capturing and saving your slider movements ready to recall or sequence through with clocks or CV control."

**THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY PATCHING PANDA** they have funded the creation of this demo video.

"Etna is an advanced triple control analog multimode morphing filter, meticulously designed for precise and dynamic sound shaping. It allows for rapid or smooth transitions between diverse filter settings, known as snapshots.

Each snapshot comprehensively defines all of the filter’s parameters, which can be adjusted either swiftly or gradually. These transitions are controlled through an applied voltage or clock and triggers, with the flexibility to use up to eight distinct stages for creating complex filtering effects in a variety of audio applications.

In addition to its morphing capabilities, Etna incorporates analog controls that enable real-time, expressive modifications to the parameters of each saved snapshot. This enhancement not only enriches the morphing process but also provides a tactile, live experience that adds significant depth and nuance to the audio output, making it a powerful tool for both studio and live performance settings."

"SVC-350 in great condition with original rack ears and front grab/protection rails.

In fantastic condition, the slider caps are cracked but original (not often you see that, most units replaced them for new types which are very slightly different profile) and the only "fault" is the output level slider has lost its clicks between L M H (still switches between the 3 modes so no loss of functionality). I have 2x spare 3-way switches for this unit I will include with the sale - I meant to get round to replacing this but other things took over in life! If you absolutely have to have this changed for the sale I can replace this part for you (I run an electronics company Myrk- Instruments, and over 20 years experience fixing musical equipment)."

"Classic and legendary Prophet VS Synth in great working condition. So many synths and synth designers have taken bits and pieces from this design but nothing beats the original.. nothing sounds as bold and awesome as the original. The sonic possibilities are endless and the filters are classic Sequential. Good solid functional condition and good cosmetics as well. The only thing to note in full disclosure.. The chorus section is a but noisy. No worries tho, if it bothers you, there is a Chorus Bypass buttons right on the top panel.. i always bypassed it and used a Strymon, Eventide or Lexicon for stellar results. It was serviced by the best.. Wine Country a few years ago and still providing years of sonic bliss!"
