The Hydrasynth makes really beautiful pads
video upload by Crybo Synth Sounds
"A really lovely sounding pad on the Hydrasynth. Macros used to control filter, reverb, lofi and oscillator volumes.
Soundpacks available for the Novation Peak, Korg Minilogue XD, Waldorf Iridium, Hydrasynth, Cobalt 8 & UDO Super 6 https://crybosynthsounds.gumroad.com"
LOOPER and SYNTH // How Good Can It Be?
video upload by Woody Piano Shack
"BOSS RC-202 DESKTOP LOOPER combined with ARTURIA ASTROLAB emulations of ROLAND JUNO-6 is a fun combination indeed!
First steps with live looping with a synth, just using one track of the looper pedal today and the built-in cheezy drums that serve as a metronome.

ARP Omni-2 with Aftertouch + S&H Mod

Note this demo is from 7 years ago.
"This video features an ARP Omni 2 synthesizer that has been modified with a custom LFO expander daughterboard. The PCB comes assembled and measures 2.7 x 3.2 cm.
This upgrade is simple to install, and it provides the LFO with 2 additional waveforms. A 3-position toggle switch controls the waveform selection. An adhesive-backed overlay decal is provided with the kit. The switch will allow sine, square, and random LFO waveforms to be selected. Kit includes instructions for expanding the range of Omni 2 VCF so that it can self-oscillate. This modification greatly expands the sonic possibilities of the ARP Omni. This kit will work on ARP Omni 1 as well. It can also be used to add an auxiliary sample and hold waveform to ARP Axxe, Odyssey, and Quadra LFOs."

"The unit has been well maintained and has had the following work/mods done:
Replaced the noisy ARP power supply with a Power One linear supply
Unit was completely recapped in 2015.
All analog ICs and digital ICs were replaced
All sliders removed and restored. All now move smoothly.
Slider caps replaced with new ones.
Pratt Read keyboard bushings replaced in 2015.
Aftertouch added to the keyboard.
Aftertouch amount is routed to the ACC/PEDAL slider. The aftertouch affects the VCF cutoff. Additional waveforms added to the LFO. Originally only had sine LFO. Added square and sample & hold LFO. Sample & hold is the same circuit as ARP Odyssey MK1 S&H. Sounds great. 4075 VCF module recapped and had the cutoff frequency design error corrected. (Originally there was a design error, keeping the cutoff from fully opening up)
The finish on this Omni is not pristine. When I got it, it had been neglected for years after being in storage. Cosmetically, this is a 6/10 as there is evidence of lots of use on the powder coating.
I've attached a video deomonstrating the LFO mod I did to this Omni. The unit in the video is actually this Omni, but I have since removed the LED sliders, since I thought they were annoying."

"Often when starting to explore the sonic possibilities of an instrument sooner or later a picture comes to mind that fits the sounds I’m designing.
This time I was transported to the sea, with tiny sea creatures helping to create the sounds you’re hearing. Do you also see images when you’re creating or exploring sounds?
Thanks for sticking with me!"

Volca Modular - Advanced Tips & Tricks - Waveshaping, 3rd Envelope, 3rd Oscillator, Source Crosstalk
video upload by ChrisLody
"This video includes so tips, tricks, hacks and patch ideas.
"Here's my original Volca Modular tips and tricks video: [below]
Here's my Volca Modular patch sheets: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/32jz5c...
0:00 Intro
1:23 Waveshaping
2:05 Quick and dirty waveshaping
2:55 Source crosstalk (Mod & Fold controls on modulator source oscillator)
4:40 Mini breadboard idea
5:20 Quick and dirty waveshaping method 2
7:00 Modulator source wonkiness
9:18 Func 2 as saw oscillator
(I should have mentioned here that using the lower CV output socket with nothing connected to the CV socket gives different result which may also be useful)
11:50 Func 2 as pulse oscillator
12:32 Ratio fine control
15:38 3rd Envelope"
Volca Modular - How To Make Square Wave PWM Noise - Advanced Tips & Tricks
video upload by ChrisLody
"Here's a bunch of tips to get a bit more out of the Korg Volca Modular. Using the gate input of Function 1 you can create square, pulse and pwm sounds as well as making shapeable noise and use the woggle at audio rate.
Patch cards for the stages along the way are available here and now include a version with an LFO sent to pulse width that uses a smoothed version of the gate as a simple envelope:
