Buchla & Friends: VERMONA Eurorack Demo Setup

video upload by vermonagear

"Join us as we showcase our Eurorack setup at the *2025 Buchla & Friends event in Los Angeles on January 25 and 26*. This setup features most of our current modules, including the meloDICER and our latest addition, BASS|DRUM.

For this demonstration, we patched a simple subtractive voice using the uniCYCLE oscillator, twinVCFilter, and twinVCAmp. Two channels of fourMative CONTOURS create an Attack-Decay envelope to modulate the filter and VCA. A second uniCYCLE serves as the modulation source, controlling the frequency of the first oscillator.

No surprises here: the BASS|DRUM module delivers powerful bass drum sounds.

The twinCUSSION+ module handles additional percussion duties. Its first channel is used for various percussive elements, while the second acts as a snare drum. We also use its noise generator, combined with the second channels of twinVCFilter and twinVCAmp, to produce hi-hat sounds.

All sequencing is handled by the meloDICER for melodies and the randomRHYTHM module for rhythm parts. We added effects using Logic Pro for an extra layer of depth.

Zaturn "Old Piano"

"Creating a, sort of, old defective piano sound, adds some more parts, and then morph the piano sound into a bell sound :)
All sounds, except for the noise sound, is made using the ladder filers.
Hope that you will enjoy.
