Silent demo: sqsl Tactile by Michal Macura (iPad Midi Controller) modulating Fundamental2 Synth

video upload by Gavinski’s Tutorials

"sqsl Tactile is a gorgeous-looking and satisfying-to-use multitouch midi controller for iPad that was designed to control VCV Rack but can also be used to control anything that accepts CC messages on Channels 1 and 2. Sqsl is the dev of other apps I’ve reviewed on this channel like sqsl Latch and sqsl Lottery. Note: normally I would post a short, silent video like this as a YouTube Short, but in this case I didn’t, as this app only uses landscape mode, not portrait mode, but Shorts must be in portrait mode. Fundamental 2, the synth I’m using it to control, also does not resize properly in portrait mode.

Here I’m using Tactile to control the gain levels of the oscillators in Fundamental2 synth loaded inside AUM on my iPad. If you look at the video, you can see these 8 sliders on the right side of the Fundamental2 UI moving—they’re being controlled by Tactile. I am sending midi from Tactile out on Channel 1, which means (see below for more info) that the distances between my fingers and the dots on the Tactile UI is the thing that is setting the depth of modulation. Although here I’m modulating gain, you could of course route Tactile to control all kinds of things like filter cutoff, and so on. Note that sqsl Tactile is not an AUv3 app, it’s standalone only, but that midi can, of course, be routed to other apps and hosts, like I am doing here. Be sure to read the Appstore description below to see the limitations of the app, users should also have a basic understanding of Midi CC to know how to set things up, but it is very simple to operate if you do."

05.22.25 Blade Runner for fun - Take 1

video upload by batchas

"Like with the precedent video, this one is to me therapeutic. And of course it's far to be comparable to Vangelis' masterpiece. I like synth sounds and I like the exercice of spending one hour a day per session.
It took only three sessions to get there, which makes me think that in two or three more sessions there'd be enough room to make a really cool song. If and only if I decide to spend more time on this piece. This I don't know. Time will tell!
Audio sources: Mos-Lab 2500, muSonics Minimoog, Roland Juno 60, Oberheim Matrix 1000, Waldorf Q.
Effects: Audiothingies Doctor A, Hologram Microcosm (very tiny bit of this one on one 2500 voice).
One take. Direct out to stereo."

Fusebox X | Dreamy Sequence with Patternator & Isolated Oscillator 3 Melody

video upload by rezfilter

"A smooth, dreamlike sequence unfolds on the Analogue Solutions Fusebox X. The Patternator is used to create precise filter movements that evolve over time, shaping the sound with elegance and control. Oscillator 3 is patched separately to carry the lead melody, while Oscillators 1 and 2 provide the rhythmic foundation. Everything is performed live—no multitracking, just the raw power of analogue synthesis.

This video wasn't recorded with HQ audio, but was filmed just to document the capability for a fellow Fusebox X owner."

5/21/25 Hewlett-Packard 3310A & 241A + Landscape Noon + Paia 6740 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"5/21/25 Hewlett-Packard 3310A & 241A + Landscape Noon + Paia 6740 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

We only hear the Landscape Noon passive drum synthesizer, activated by voltages from the Hewlett-Packard function generators and oscillator. The Hewlett-Packard 241A is just providing a certain rasp through channel 8 on the Noon. The left Hewlett-Packard 3310A sync output runs to channel 2, and its high output runs to channel 1, which together create the bass pulse (panned center). The right 3310A high output runs to channel 4 (panned a little left), and the 3310A range switch is played in patterns to create something like a melody. There is a gated reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II on both signals, and spring reverb from the Paia 6740 only on the one signal generated by the right 3310A."
