Smart Eurorack Routing & Send/Return Crossfading // 3 Patches with Pivot 2 from Joranalogue


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have a 3 Patches* video with the Pivot 2 from Joranalogue. It's a smart and simple signal router for pivoting between routing to two send outputs and crossfading the 2 return inputs. Patching around that is as simple or complex as you like and it works well for audio and CV. Check out the examples below and skip around."

video upload by Stazma

"Today I’ll show my basic workflow for writing weirdo breakbeat and acid music on the Tracker+, showing you of it's new onboard instruments (synthesizers they call these hehehe). I'm super happy to go back on the Tracker thing.

Have fun!"

video upload by vermonagear

00:00 - Intro
00:10 - Start
00:56 - beat with all instruments

"We used the powerful sequencer of the Elektron Digitakt II to create a new beat for our one beat // different sounds series. We call the first set of sounds the *electronic master kit*. The DRM1 MKIV produces typical analog drum and percussion sounds without any external effects or sound processing.

The beat itself has 32 steps and is played at 83 bpm."

Isobutane - Remember Me (2006)


video upload by Isobutane

"There were times when my only piece of equipment was the Yamaha RM1x. While going through some old floppy discs I’ve came across some really old tracks from around 2005-2007. I was surprised how playful and full of energy these are. Technically and soundwise they are all pretty funky but I was really stunned by the liveliness of these old projects. So I’m like…yeah let’s share em. Maybe some people will even remember some of these from the past live shows. Shees that was ages ago… Ok, let’s go. 6/7

This is called Remember Me and it was made in 2006."

How to make electronic dance music (with drum machine & synth)


video upload by mylarmelodies

"This is an absolute beginner's introduction to making & performing music with a drum machine and a synth, plus setup and gear recommendations. I'm using the very excellent Roland TR-8 drum machine and T-8 "TB-303-style" synth. I'll explain the very basics of how to compose and perform on these machines, explain how they're connected, whether you need a mixer, and suggest other starter gear you might consider if you want to begin exploring computer-free music making."

Krell 2 0


video upload by Todd Barton

"This evening I thought about revisiting my original Krell [posted in 2012 here] and giving it another tweak...
Headphones or studio monitors recommended."

DX5 performing The Human League "The Sound of the Crowd"


video upload by DX5

"A simple but interesting song not much known by the early days of The Human League V2 (when the female vocalists joined). If you don't know the original version, check it out. I found it catchy, specially the chorus. So I decided to pick my two analogues plus the JP8000 and give it a try

Gear used:

Left:
Roland MRS2 Promars: single VCO bass (and extra sub bass on backtrack)
Roland JP8000: Cross Mod lead

Right:
Korg Polysix: Sawtooth lead

Backtrack previously recorded, instrument by instrument, on Pro Tools (just drums and the extra sub bass). Original song composed by Phil Oakey, Ian Burden.

Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara"

Massive Buchla 100 / 200 Based Eurorack System

via this listing

This is a supporting member listing.

"This is a very focused eurorack system that sounds just like Buchla, and allows you to have a huge amount of modules in a small portion of the space a 'real' Buchla system would take up. And for much less money. Although this system contains some extremely rare modules, we’re still pricing it below the MSRP according to Modular Grid. To be safe, we added high shipping (we will refund the difference when it costs less).

Now there are a ton of Low Pass Gates, which is one of the keys to the Buchla sound. There is a dual lowpass filter, and the Sharp cutoff filter that does bandpass or simultaneous high and low passes. I like running sine/saw waves into Tokyo Gate into the Sharp filter into the other channel on the Tokyo gate, while modulating one half the oscillator with the audio output of the other half and vice versa. There are 8 oscillators. The TTMC square waves sound really good. Envelope follower, preamp, CV amp, rare TTMC modules, like inverter, phase shifter. Two different touch pad modules for manual playing or for transposing the sequence. The TTMC and TipTop sequencers also play well together. We also will include two TTMC mults that weren’t in the photographs.

In the photos all of the rack ears have been removed, but we will include them or reattach them if you prefer. We’re hoping a whale comes along and snaps this system up whole. It’s ready to go. Powered, racked, and ready to Bongo. If not, we might itemize it and sell it off individually, or keep it. Who knows."
