Trace | Interpolating CV and Audio Scanner | by DivKid and Vostok Instruments
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"As a 4HP utility module, the Trace isn't that special. It's basically four inputs and one output, with a slider to crossfade between the inputs. But still. If you'd want to do something similar, you would need to patch precise CV to smoothly scan through these inputs with a mixer that supports crossfading. Buchla's Voltage Math (Tiptop 257T) has two crossfaders on board, and you may have a MakeNoise XPAN nearby. I also think it would be possible with a big mixer and a Mutable Tides to slowly fade in/out. The vintage and discontinued MakeNoise RxMx was all about scanned mixing and offered six channels. But I don't think there's anything that can do this in 4 HP. DivKid has a talent to identify the things we're missing in our cases and the Vostok/Divkid Trace is a valuable addition to any patch that involves a VCO with multiple outputs or lots of CV. Highly recommended and lots of fun."

THE PLUGIN REWIRED --- WALDORF MICROWAVE 1, Rev. A vs. MICROWAVE 1 Plugin - PART B
video upload by LESINDES
Part A here
"This is a comparision of the WALDORF MICROWAVE 1, Rev. A with WALDORF MICROWAVE 1, Plugin. Considering a proposal to rewire the PLUGIN this is to record the soundcard output into the DAW again to obtain more comarability.
MW 1 hardware sounds are directly recorded in DAW. Plugin sounds are recordedfrom the out of UFX into inputof UFX using the same pair of cables engaged for the signals of the Hardware unit."

video upload by Signal Sounds
"The Unperson returns to the channel to check out the Melbourne Instruments Delia - a bi-timbral polysynth inspired by the motorised control panel and voice architecture of the original Melbourne Instruments Nina.
Delia introduces a 49-key velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard, new multi-mode analogue filters, high pass and low pass resonance control, 3-stage overdrive, and even more modulation possibilities. Paired with Rotary Recall technology, Delia opens the door to the sounds and direction of tomorrow.

Syntrx II: First patch
video upload by Richard DeHove
"A few years back almost all my hardware was modular gear. A beautiful 15u all-black monster. A wondrous thing it was with a most fetching array of clock-synced lights. Problem was I never made any music with it. It was lots of fun arranging the modules though. I still have about 80hp left of a few favorites I couldn't part with: Interstellar Radio, the Erica LFOs and some utilities.
I mention this because the Syntrx II is often described as a modular system in a box. Sections are "patched" via the matrix. I've had the Syntrx for an embarrassingly long time and never done anything with it other than admire its good looks. In fact I sold my OB-6 to help pay for it. Yet somehow it just hasn't called.
So here's my first attempt at coherent sound. It took a day to get going. Figuring how to clear the matrix and patch anything took several hours. A couple of hours after that and we have this. It's not much. I tried to get a stereo field happening - and succeeded briefly - then somehow lost it. I was also getting excellent low rubber resonance swells but somehow lost them as well by the time I was ready to record. I battled for quite a while to stop overloading the filter and that seems to have worked.
So I certainly wouldn't say it's easy to get going. Of course that's just me. So far there's nothing here that other reasonably deep synths couldn't do. I know the Syntrx can go way deeper, but I don't want to just make random complex noise. Perhaps the question is how complex can you get while staying somewhat musical? And where is your own subjective boundary of music?
I wasn't going to upload this as I wasn't very happy with it, but then I thought its value is as an example of a 'first try' with a complex machine.
As usual there is no processing or effects other than what you see - the Syntrx itself. The only other element are the vocal samples which are taken from one of my favorite B-grade sci-fi movies: The Time Travellers (1964). It has an excellent score btw.
Many thanks to my kind patrons who keep this channel ad-free
