No.1 APEX Eurorack Delays
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"I am not sure if there's an APEX (best of the best) delay in eurorack. If there was, I would never ended up with so many of them. The 'problem' with eurorack is that each manufacturer adds something special. They have to. I guess my 'problem' is the autistic need to make 'one brand' cases instead of a colorful patch blanket. I never fully realized I had so many delays and even though there is no good and bad in euro, I could easily build a subjective top five - in any order - except for number 1. The top spot has been taken for seven years, but is now on the verge of retirement.
I'll be using a stack of Plaits and Rings as a reference sound, so prepare for a 20 minute 'spa'. In the end, there is an APEX delay after all. I'll add chapters later, for now I want you to relax, listen, maybe even do something else, and when you hear something remarkable, check what's playing. Spin FX delays like FX-AID are not included, but mentioned in general because they're not just delays. I also think the karaoke-chip delays (e.g. Bruxa, Lyra-8 FX) are too exotic but APEX in their own field. I also didn't include any analog/BBD delays because I have no experience with them. This is not a competitive review, it's a lab tour.
Please comment if I overlooked a delay that beats everything else, I don't have/know all of them. It's also cool if you'd share your personal favorite!
Cheers,
Robert"

Minimal Ambient w / Tenori-on, OP-1 field, volca fm | Herbal Gathering 2025-04-27 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with the YAMAHA TENORI-ON, @teenageengineering OP-1 field, and @KORG_INC volca fm2. Repeating harmonies are washed in effect-laden electronic tones.
TENORI-ON: A phrase is looped with the RANDOM sequencer, then processed through the @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MK II and GENERATION LOSS MK II.
OP-1 field: I first record a harmony loop, then overdub parts with the internal synth. The output is routed through @strymon NIGHTSKY for modulation, reverb, and filtering.
volca fm2: A slow-attack patch is played and further degraded into lo-fi textures with @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY."
Analogue Solutions AS500-SEQ Driving a Vintage ARP Odyssey | 64-Step CV Sequencer Demo
video upload by rezfilter
"AS500-SEQ connected to a vintage ARP Odyssey.
It’s sending gate and CV to the Odyssey and clock to the Arturia DrumBrute. Tempo and start/stop are controlled directly from the sequencer.
X, Y, and Jump switches are triggered live to modify the sequence. CV is also patched into the Odyssey’s Pedal input for subtle shifts.
Glide from the AS500-SEQ is active throughout.
The DrumBrute’s audio is fed into the Odyssey’s External Input."
Ample Synthesizer: Sweeping Cutoff with Built-In Echo
video upload by rezfilter
"This patch on the Ample Synthesizer features a multi-oscillator sequence running via its onboard sequencer. The resonance is set high to highlight the harmonic character of the filter as I sweep the cutoff frequency. You’ll hear how the onboard echo effect adds depth and movement to the sound. I’m also using the touchpads, each preset to a different cutoff value via its dedicated pot, allowing for quick and expressive tonal changes throughout the sequence."
MidiVolts Desktop | Moog Mavis
video upload by Space Brain Circuits
"A little demo on using the Moog Mavis with the MidiVolts Desktop. The LFO rate CV response is good for only a couple octaves. Nonetheless, you can still get some cool results. Thanks for watching!
