BUTTERS (pre-lit version) / a subtractive synth jam / having a go at Berlin School sequencing
video upload by BRiES
"I had a go at what I think is the 'Berlin School' of sequencing a patch. Did I miss the point entirely or is this considered canon in the Berlin School lore?"

Mutable (ST)RINGS | Modular Composing | Open Sequencing
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"I guess it's much cheaper to find new use to existing modules instead of getting more modules that don't really add anything new. We all know Mutable Rings, it's our modular guitar. So how about trying to play it like a guitar? In this video, I'll use a static arp, like the strings on a guitar, tuned to whatever you like (like Fripp's New Standard Tuning) and then move the individual notes around like a fretboard. It's like a note-by-note transpose. Do you know any sequencer that can do this? Sure! Five12 Vector has chance operations and subsequencers. Westlicht has note ranges and you can use Track B to transpose track A. But you can't transpose the indivual notes in an ARP with their own subsequences. I've been working on this idea because it's a cool addition to our stochastic generative dice controlled compositions. I'd like to all it 'open sequencing' as a tribute to 'open composers' from the 50's and 60's. People like John Cage and Hans Otte, but also people like Robert Fripp (tuning of fifths) and Hans Zimmer (double harmonic dune scale).
It's even cooler to use a module that allows you to build what doesn't exist yet, lke Monome Teletype. I wrote a script you can load in your module, but Teletype is also part of the VCV free module collection. I bet you'd never use it without some help. So here's a script you can cut, paste in a .TXT and load it into the 'active script' of Teletype."

"SOLAR 42f is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music.
The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music. The instrument was inspired by early electronic musical instruments of the 1920s and 1950s, notably Leo Theremin's «Harmonium» instrument, as well as science fiction film soundtracks."

"I modified my Arp Explorer for external oscillator and filter CV and S-trig so I could sequence it. I'd also just repaired an Arp 1601 sequencer so I though it might be a cool demo to test them out together."
E-mu Drumulator stock kit VS Linn Drum kit
video upload by ohm_studi_ohm
"Here you have a comparision between 2 e-mu Drumulator units, one that has stock eprom sounds and the second one that was fitted with Linn Drum LM1 sounds.
I play all the patterns available in the units, which are factory ones except for a few programmed ones. As a bonus I added a comparision of the stock Drumulator and the custom kit I use, which is basically the stock kit with Kick, Clap and Hi Hats replaced by the Linn Drum ones.
Also by having both units side by side I discover something funny, I let you find it in the video..."
