Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"Moog Opus 3 - Recently serviced and tested, everything is in working order. Classic ensemble synth for the 80's that emulates Strings, Organ, and Brass instruments. Its fully polyphonic and has a quite pretty sounding chorus. There are some different filtering capabilities, but not the typical Moog filter you are used. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just different. It was designed by Moog with collaboration from the legendary Herb Deutsch.

This is a closet clean example, includes original user manual and vintage correct road case!"

Nine legit modular effects in one, with morphing: DNIPRO Radiant Demo

video upload by mylarmelodies

"In this demo I'm exploring every mode in the new DNIPRO Radiant: A Eurorack Modular multi-effects unit with Dub Delay, Phaser, Chord Maker, Distortion/Bitcrusher, Feedback Shifter and Re-trigger (kind of a beat chopper), as well as resonant filter, flip/reverse effect and a huge and lush algorithmic reverb. DSP code is by Sinevibes who make really really nice sounding/elegantly designed plugins as well as algorithms for Korg synths you may have seen or even tried. The ace in the hole here is morphing, letting you morph between three states.

Chapter markers provided so you can skip around and choose parts you are most interested in."

Instruō - Cš-L [Production Behind the Scenes]

video upload by Instruō

"Hello!

I'm uploading this video during that limbo period between Christmas and New Year.
If your seasonal routine is anything like mine then you'll be killing time between larger meals than are necessary!
This was the last test phase of the last production batch of Cš-L of 2024.
It's a sequenced patch routine that tests all the I/O and internal routing configurations.
I have done this many many many times over the past ~7 years...
It's a very familiar pattern of sounds to everyone here in the workshop!

I've thought about setting up a camera and recording processes like this for a while.
I kinda enjoy weird content like this myself... I find it fascinating watching footage of processes.
When something has been done so often it becomes muscle memory. I think there's something quite hypnotic to watching it be done.
There are various stages of the production of modules that are very repetitive. I do quite enjoy having a range of very different tasks that are part of this weird job.
Working through a Cš-L in this stage is very much muscle memory now. And the resulting sounds are so familiar I can QC check them quite efficiently.

Several years ago I had the good fortune to meet and work with the late and great Phill Niblock while I was based in Boston & NYC.
Phill, perhaps being best known for his drone compositions, worked across creative mediums.
During several concerts I was part of as a performer, there were epic projected backdrops of some of his The Movement of People Working film footage.
These films captured people working in rural environments around the world.
The jobs being done are tasks that have clearly been performed many many many times!
So much of it is very necessary work: fishing, farming, weaving, processing of crops, repairing tools.
All very necessary tasks required by small rural communities.
In comparison, I do feel a bit like what I do is quite a silly job!
...I don't really have any point here!
I was just reminded of Phill's video work, and the chances I had to get to know him and work with him a handful of times. And of course how much I've enjoyed his work which was as much about "process" as it is about an end product.

I enjoy behind the scenes content, and Instruō very much began as a behind-the-scenes–documentation of process–focussed creative project.
It's an element I am keen to revisit and explore more.
Where Instruō has grown to over the past 8-9 years is still crazy to me, and I feel extremely fortunate to be able to do this for a living.
And on top of that, being able to work with such a great team that make this company possible.
Thank you all for your continued support.
I'm very excited for 2025!
I hope you have a great new year when it comes.

Cheers!
~Jason"

Leibniz Unleashed | XAOC Leibniz Binary Subsystem | Episode 04

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"It's been six months since episode 03 (The Road to Berlin). This is mainy because I make videos as I go and as I learn. The Leibniz system, by itself is not difficult to use, but in the audio domain it's impossible to bypass the 8-bit sound quality and harsh noise is inevitable. I needed to take many breaks to make this video and I had to get my knowledge from the manuals and the excellent works of Tom Churchil. I never fully realized you need to make loops for best results and I didn't know how important 'reclocking' is. I experimented with external VCO's before I realized Berlin and Poczdam offer their own Leibniz clocks to manipulate and 'reclock' the datastreams.

I had many 'I did not know' moments while making this video, and often I had to reshoot stuff that did not make any sense anymore. I wanted this episode to be a 'Leibniz Unleashed' experience, showing off some amazing patches that have a lot to offer and complement what's already out on YouTube.

I guess a logical followup for Episode 05 is to explore musical applications some more, especially in the audio domain. Leibniz is just great for CV and rhythms, but (at first glance) not so great in the audio domain (unless you fancy glitch, noise and other raw genres, it excels here).

I hope this video will help you get more production value from your Leibniz set, or help you decide if it's something of interest. Modular is too expensive to just do a leap of faith and figure it out later. It can take a year before it starts to make sense. But it's been a great year!
