"In this sound design example we show off the resonant low pass filter and how to make an inverted modulation connection."

Sequential Prophet Rev2, Elektron Octatrack and effects // Interstellar

video upload by Django

"I was experimenting with binaural patching and came to a sound that made me think of the organ used in the Interstellar score. Naturally I’m no Hans Zimmer but I decided to create a simple sequence based on the score.

The setup is similar to last week where I’m using the Octatrack to sequence the Rev2. I added the BigSky and Mood MK2 for reverb and texture.

Due to the nature of binaural patching there is some voice stealing since my Rev2 only has 8 voices, might need to upgrade that later on.

Use headphones for the best experience."

Frequency Central feat. Gnatophilidae Oxfordii, EDP Gnat style VCF with LP, BP, HP, Notch responses

video upload by Frequency Central

"If EDP had produced Eurorack modules, they would have been quirky, garish and killer. This is my homage. An expanded Gnat VCF with Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass and Notch Reject responses as well as Drive and Clip options. The LFO is based on the ‘Enhance LFO’ from the Gnat, again its been expanded with multiple waveshape options. Yes, at 20HP it is twice as wide as it needs to be – you do you.

https://frequencycentral.co.uk/

In September 2023 I was lucky enough to acquire an EDP Gnat synthesiser after questing for one for many years. I’m already the owner of an EDP Wasp, and had always wondered about the Gnat, which is a smaller version of the Wasp in many ways, but with a character all of it’s own. After decades lying unloved in an attic for decades, my Gnat required a little love to get it in full working order, so I set to work on it, after looking up the schematic. The Gnat came to life, and we fell deeply in love with each other.

There have been a few remakes of the Wasp VCF, but never one of the Gnat to my knowledge, so with an original on hand I set out to remedy this sorry situation. The original is strictly lowpass, but it’s easy enough to add bandpass, highpass and notch reject – so that’s what I did. The Gnat VCF uses 3 gates from a CD4049, leaving 3 unused gates, so I used them to create an LFO based on the enhance LFO of the Gnat, which was used exclusively for a fixed rate PWM of the Gnat’s DCO. The LFO is expanded to offer multiple waveforms via it’s SHAPE control as well as it’s two outputs – saw/tri/ramp and pulse/square.

The Gnat was 9V battery powered, to get close to this in Eurorack I’ve given Gnatophilidae Oxfordii it’s own onboard +/-5V power rails. This helps keep it’s character close to the original. Gnatophildae Oxfordii is big and garish, a little whacky and a little leftfield. That’s it’s joy.

DRIVE: The two audio inputs pass through the DRIVE knob before hitting the filter itself. Higher levels of drive will clip the input waveforms to the filter, as well as reducing the available resonance.

CLIP: There’s a little circuit post-filter which will simultaneously amplify and clip the filtered signal.

The combination of pre-filter DRIVE and post-filter CLIP can get you into some pretty gnarly territory! Yes, at 20HP it is twice as wide as it needs to be – you do you."

Two Sequencers and a Gate Math Walk Into a Bar... | Modular Synthesizer Tutorial

video upload by synthesizersdotcom

"In modular synthesizers, sequencers and gate math modules work together to create intricate and dynamic musical patterns. Sequencers generate a series of control voltages and gate signals that dictate the pitch, timing, and duration of notes. These signals can then be sent to oscillators, filters, and other sound-modifying modules. Gate math modules, on the other hand, manipulate these gate signals, enabling complex rhythmic patterns through functions like multiplication, division, logic operations, and more. By combining the precise control of sequencers with the rhythmic flexibility of gate math modules, musicians can craft highly dynamic and evolving soundscapes that are both rhythmically and melodically rich.
