Nonlinearcircuits MACRAME | LOGORRHEA | VCF 1
video upload by cirtcele
"Macrame is a 6 channel mixer with voltage controlled level and panning. It uses two SSI2190 chips to do all the work.
You can use the SET pots to operate the level and pan manually, or use CV to get things moving around and up and down.
It has two synth level outputs, two line level ¼” jack outputs and a stereo line output (which works fine with most headphones too).
For some reason, probably because I was slightly askew on post-op painkillers when designing this, the panel is 21HP. I guess this means I need to release more odd HP modules to avoid gaps in cases."
LOGORRHEA
video upload by cirtcele
"Logorrhea is kind of a vocal filter; basically it is the back half of a vocoder crammed into 8HP. There are two inputs, 10 filter channels, a white noise channel and a thru channel, to feed thru the original signal(s). It uses two SSI2190 chips to do all the work.
There are no knobs.
To use, patch in one or two audio signals. Ones with lots of harmonics sound best, pulses, squares or wave-folder outputs, not sinewaves.
Patch in a bunch of CVs to set up your sounds, it expects 0-5V CV signals.
OUT is all channels mixed together.
OUT A is thru, LP (low pass), BP2, BP4, BP6 and BP8 (BP = bandpass).
OUT B is noise, BP1, BP3, BP5, BP7 and HP (high pass).
Using OUT A and OUT B in a stereo mixer (such as NLC Macramé) is nice with panning to move the sounds around."
FAST AND BULBOUS VCF
video upload by cirtcele
"This module uses the SSI2140 chip which is based on the SSM2040 VCF, tho with a few updates.
My first thought when I read the datasheets was that it would be great to design a module that could switch between a phaser and a VCF. Looking back at old SSM2040 designs, it seems most of the usual suspects (T. Henry, J. Blacet, C. Anderton et al) had much the same idea.
This module is based on Anderton’s design in Device 1-6 (yes, I spotted the error) with modifications to suit the SSI2140 and Eurorack.
There are 4 switches, one for each OTA stage, to select between (all pass (phaser) and low pass filter mode. You can have quite a lot of fun with 2-3 switches in one mode and 1-2 in the other.
There is a dry mix pot to mix the incoming signals into the OUT signal, which is taken from the 4th OTA stage. This is probably more commonly used in Phaser mode, but there are no rules, so do whatever you like.
POLES is a weighted mix of the outputs of each pole, it is a bit shy when all switches are turned to Low Pass but perks up very nicely when one or more switches turned to Phaser.
The SSI chip is a bit tight to solder, have your bottle of flux ready, otherwise it is a pretty easy build."

ORBITAL RECON STATION DELTA / large spaceship ambience & distant voices / binaural delta wave
video upload by BRiES
"The ORS Delta has been orbiting this moon for weeks now. The ship's bending and twisting due to the tidal pull of the nearby gas giant. It's designed to withstand these conditions but still... the constant creaking sends shivers down my spine. Micro-meteorites are hitting the hull relentlessly. It's weird to find so many of them close to a moon. I guess there's rings around this planet? With the outdoor sensors being offline it's hard to tell really. Air-conditioning and heating systems seem to be fully operational. There's people on board somewhere but I can't seem to locate them. Where's this music coming from?
Headphones are required for the full experience.
There's a bit of information about this patch in this video (somewhere):"

"Are two Microfreaks better than just one? Well I would say yes with the Stereo Freak effect and 8 notes of polyphony even without effects the result is guaranteed"
Roland TR606 - Korg KMX8
video upload by Ticco Ross
"I finally got to try a Korg KMX8 from 1983. It has some of the best harmonic distortion I've ever heard. Mixing in red is a delight. The Master EQ on it is awesome. Until now I had always used the Boss BX series but this Korg mixer gives an incredible sound to whatever you put into it.

How to Produce Music in Different Genres at the Same Time
video upload by Dylan Ferno
"How to Produce in 'Every' Genre at the Same Time. Or at least many different genres at once. This can help find the right vibe for the track or add variation in a DAWless live set. I am using the Novation Circuit Groovebox/synth/drum machine, but really any synth and drum machine/sampler combo would work
Basically a genre bending type tutorial without a computer.

Moog Prodigy, Habit, Tempest Drum Machine

"Quick jam doing some textured delay sounds with the Moog Prodigy into the Chase Bliss Habit. Drums on the Dave Smith Tempest, pads UDO Super 6, reverb Strymon Bigsky Mx."
Sonicware LIVEN Ambient Ø | First try [no talking]
video upload by Le Code
"I just received the LIVEN Ambient Ø from Sonicware, and tested it with an improvised track.
The synth separates into 4 distinct tracks: I've sequenced the Drone and Pad layers, and play with the Atmos and Noise. I've deliberately chosen to play with low and medium frequencies to make it a melodic track, but less atmospheric than my usual sounds."
