Bastl Kastle 2 FX WIZARD #6 / "Wizard goes into oscillation!"


video upload by alloutofsync

"The FX Wizard goes into oscillation. I’m using the ARP just for converting patch cables to stereo and for grounding. It’s not powered. In post, I added a touch of reverb and delay.

0:12 Patch note

Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Thanks."

any sub - self-powered sub oscillator module


video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"Here are a shoddy "proof this exists" video of a dual suboscillator (-1 octave, -2octaves times two) that can be used as a hand held device or a 8HP Eurorack module (where you get a total of four sub oscs) for use with modular synths or semi-modular synths with a patch bay. These sub oscillator modules are only powered by the waveform you send into them, so they do not require a conventional power supply.

I call this an EDI module because it's intended to be free but linked to a donation to the Women's Audio Mission and/or The Trevor Project, i.e. if you make one of these for yourself, I expect you to donate a little bit to either or both of these institutions, and if you want to make commercial use of it, you have to donate in proportion to how many modules you sell.

Why you do or don’t need 3 oscillators


video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"A three-oscillator setup seems to be the high-end standard in the land of synths. That benchmark has a lot to do with some of the first synths available to a wide public, like the Minimoog model D, EMS VCS 3, and ARP 2600. All 3 oscillator synths. But modern classics like the Pro 3, or even poly synths like the Hydrasynth, or Peak also have a 3-oscillator setup. So… should you have a triple oscillator bank in you modular?"

L-1 Sallen Key Filters. Mutant Cure VCF vs. DS VCF.


video upload by Aleksei Laman

"L-1 Synthesizer makes two Sallen-Key filters.

Mutant Cure VCF is optical, based on vactrols.
DS VCF is solid-state, based on original L-1 discrete gain cells.

In this video I split input waves and modulations between these filters.
I play them by one and both together.

Mutant Cure VCF has correct Sallen-Key LP mode. HP mode is mutant-ish, it has not so nice timbre as it must be and no selfocillation.

So I play this filter only in LP mode.

DS VCF has correct Sallen-Key LP, BP, HP modes. It switches between LP, BP, HP topologies using sophisticated switching system with 12 electronic switches.

Also it has voltage control on resonance and Drive knob which adds gain to the input.

Mutant Cure VCF sounds more blurry. It's not a flaw, it's a feature of vactrols, for that we love them.
DS VCF sounds cleaner and faster, especially on trebles. Also it has more convex resonance.
