Serge Filter Tour | Serge Modular | Episode 07 | Res EQ, VCF2, Siegfried, VCFS, VCFX, VCFQ


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"There are currently 1601 filters on ModularGrid. It may be impossible to pick the right one for your case. If we check out the modular pioneers, we'd see Moog's legendary ladder. Buchla only made a rare triple bandpass, Roland and Korg refined far eastcoast synthesis and there are a few exotics like the Wasp and the Polivoks. In this video I want to focus on the Serge filters (eurorack format) which I rediscovered last year. He has five designs with distinct differences. There's the RES EQ fixed filter bank, the VCF2 variable bandwidth with no resonance (?), the VCFS with a variable slope (?) and the highly appreciated VCFQ with variable resonance. A few weeks ago Serge released the VCFX with a 'new gate' on a single panel. It's a simple utility filter on its own, but combined with the gate we'll have a patch programmable LPG. Or a bandpass gate.

I'll be using the Schlappi THREE-BODY as a triple sawtooth voice making a chord. It's a big and nasty sound that could use a filter. It inevitably turned out to be a long video because I had the pleasure to go through five different filters. I tried to keep it fresh and entertaining. Who doesn't love playing the cut-off :)."

Ambient w/ Lyra-8, KORG MS-20, reface DX | Alpine Crescendo 2025-03-02 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@somasynths‬ Lyra-8, ‪@KORG_INC‬ MS-20, and YAMAHA Reface DX. It's ambient music where a melody and looper sequence melt into a drone.

For the Lyra-8, after some tuning, I set it to HOLD the sound so it resembles chords. Its output is processed with reverb using ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS.

The MS-20 is run through ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb, and I occasionally open and close the filter to change its timbre.

The Reface DX loops phrases with its looper while applying filter and reverb via ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY. At the beginning and end of the track, I reduce the dry signal and modulate the filter to blur the sound."

Comparison: Yamaha FB01 vs EssenceFM


video upload by j bowman

"In this sound test video, we compare two iconic FM synthesizers: the Kodamo EssenceFM and the Yamaha FB01. Whether you're a seasoned sound designer or just starting out with FM synthesis, this video offers an in-depth exploration of their unique tones and characteristics. We dive into the FM sound engines of both synthesizers, examining how the Kodamo EssenceFM's advanced features stack up against the more classic approach of the Yamaha FB01.

Discover the power of FM synthesis as we demonstrate how each synthesizer shapes sound through frequency modulation. If you're passionate about synth music and sound design, you'll appreciate this side-by-side comparison of two powerful machines. We’ll showcase a variety of sounds to help you decide which FM synth fits your creative needs.

This video is perfect for musicians, producers, and sound designers who are into FM synths, exploring new FM synthesis gear, or learning how to use the Kodamo EssenceFM and Yamaha FB01 to shape their music."

"Check out POB's dark and ethereal modular synth set putting the Manis voice into Desmodus Versio. After patching through Nive Grad to change levels, our angry signal gets to Batverb, our stereo tail generator.

Voice 1: Manis Iteritas Alia, sequenced by Gamut Repetitor generative sequencer, going through Desmodus Versio, before being sent through Nive Grad to Batverb.

Voice 2: Debel Iteritas Alia, through Roucha Legio stereo filter, then through Fala Versio, which is being LFO-modulated by Opp Ned.

Voice 3: Basimilus Iteritas Alia, being sequenced by Bin Seq.

Clocked with Horologic Solum.

If you’re a fan of our Eurorack products, you may notice some similarities between Batverb and Desmodus Versio. And it’s true: they share some similarly named controls, and a lot of their respective inspiration came from the same place. However, Batverb shares none of its code with Desmodus. It was completely written from the ground up as an entirely new product.

All the details on Batverb: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Batverb blog post: https://noiseengineering.us/blogs/loq...

We’re close to Desmodus’s five-year anniversary, and in that time we’ve learned a lot about reverb. Desmodus is still one of our favorite products we’ve ever released, but the knowledge we’ve gained allowed us to design Batverb to work particularly well with dynamic, polyphonic instruments like guitars as well as synths and the occasional saxophone. One of the first tests we did in early Batverb R&D was to plug a guitar into Desmodus Versio. It sounded nice, but, just like Desmodus was designed to play off of Eurorack’s strengths, we knew we wanted things to be different for a guitar-focussed product.

One major change between the products is that Batverb uses no delay-line modulation, resulting in a sound that’s more transparent – if you want it to be. Timbre shaping is done with five parameters: Hi Pass and Lo Pass allow you to filter the reverb tail into whatever space you’d like it to fill, Doom and Shimmer add low- and high-end content, and Grit makes things as clean or crunchy as you’d like.
