RYK Modular ALGO Quad Complex Oscillator Bank Review


video upload by Molten Music Technology

"ALGO is a bank of oscillators that creates complexity through cross-modulation via uncomplicated interaction. In other words, it's four beautiful sine wave oscillators that you can warp, fold and jam into each other for some fabulously easy-going FM timbres. Here's my review.

RYK sent me the module for review, therefore I have to tick the "Paid Promotion" box, but they haven't paid me to do anything with it or have any say in the content."

20 pole Phaser by Jurgen Haible running 808 track


video upload by VanDaalElectronics

"This is a project built on Jurgen Haible 20 pole phaser board. Cases are custom made by us @Van Daal Electronics.

Assembled units can be purchased from: https://vandaal-electronics.com/

For DIY builds PCBs can be ordered from https://serge-modular.com/haible/tau_..."

Additional details:

Jรผrgen Haible's legendary redesign of the Tau 'The Pipe' Flanger - actually, a Phaser, using 20 (twenty!) all pass filter stages is back in a slightly modernized version, including some additions and modifications compared to the original Haible board:

Transistor arrays (for the 20 poles): pcb supports super-matched THAT300 (DIP) or BCM847DS (SMT).

Obsolete CA3046 in the 1/x function generator has been replaced by LM3046 (SMT).

MTA-156 power connector for +/-15V added - don't install the onboard-PSU parts if you use +/-15V!!!

MTA-156 power connector can also be used for 10 pin Euro power connectors - please note that +/-12V is experimental, not supported (yet), see below!

LFO: slow mode option has been added (simply connect L* to UP2 or DOWN1 via SPDT switch).
Optional CV mixer/processor has been added (untested!).

Connectors have been moved to the edge of the board to allow connecting component pcbs via pin headers - downside: space may be too tight to use normal headers. Workaround: use (breakable) precision sockets for manual wiring or testing.

pcb size: 6" x 3.4"

Atlantix: Basic Drum Sounds


video upload by Intellijel

"Did you know: Atlantix can also be powerful drum synthesizer. Matt creates some basic drum sounds to show you how it can sound.

The Atlantix module is a complete synthesizer voice, full of features that push it beyond basic mono-synth patches. What better way to show this than by building a selection of synthesized drum sounds - Kicks, Snares, Hi-Hats, Claps and more. All the sounds that you're hearing in this video are the raw, unprocessed sounds from Atlantix - with a tiny hint of Sealegs for delay & reverb every now and again!"

Cherry Audio Wurlybird 140B - a detailed demo and tutorial

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We take a detailed look at the features and presets in the new Wurlybird 140B from Cherry Audio, a recreation of what some consider the best of the Wurlitzer electric pianos, the model 140B. These are far more elusive than the better known 200 series, but our friends at Cherry Audio were able locate one for extensive sampling and modeling for this version, which sounds great and (as an electric piano enthusiast) is a lot of fun to play."
