4MS Meta Module: Demo & Explorations

video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"In this video I share a walkthrough and demo of Meta Module made by 4MS. MetaModule is a Eurorack module that can act as a virtual modular synth, letting you swap out different modules and build virtual patches that you can interact with using the front panel knobs.

I'll start with an overview of what Meta Module is and how it works, then I'll walk through two different ways of building patches using Meta Module (directly on the module itself and using VCV Rack on your computer), and I'll share multiple different use cases for which Meta Module can be especially helpful. I'll also share lots of demos, patches, and sounds along the way!"

Benge - Self-Playing Patches

video upload by Memetune Studio

"A new album of experimental modular synthesiser music by Benge

'This series of studies explores an idea that Benge has been working on over the past year or so, namely that of Cybersynthesis. This involves programming self-contained patches on various modular systems which, once set in motion, will produce dynamic, evolving soundscapes, sometimes purely abstract in nature, at other times veering towards the more melodious

Many different methods were deployed in the patches, depending on the system being used, but normally multiple sequencer and switching devices were combined to give varying degrees of control over long time periods, often without repetition

Other things like random control signals and semi-random events were combined with the sequencers and switching units to bring variation to the performances the machines were making'

"Reach for the Light" by Lisa Bella Donna | Moog Muse and "Mothership" Modular Mother-32 System

video upload by Moog Music

"Step into this fully immersive performance from master synthesist ‪@LisaBellaDonnaMusic‬, blending sounds from the Moog Muse with her expansive “Mothership” modular system. In “Reach for the Light,” Lisa translates themes of challenge, change, and transformation into sound—weaving live sequences, modulation, and cosmic textures into this inspiring piece of music.

Learn more about the Moog Mother Ecosystem: https://www.moogmusic.com/synthesizer...

From Lisa:

'Reach for the Light' is a piece that I hope will inspire you to be creative in times of challenge and change. This was performed live on the Moog Muse and my “Mothership” while modulating the piece manually with a Moog Mother-32 bass sequence and percussion provided by a DFAM and Spectravox. The Spectravox is being triggered by a series of selected gates and envelopes. A series of other Mother-32 modules ornament the piece with contrapuntal stereo sequences and celestial FX. The Mother-32s also provide a wealth of voltage skew and attenuation to bring life and realism to envelopes, filters, and amplifiers of other components within the system.

Live effects include a Hologram Microcosm and studio effects include a Moog Delay, ClusterFlux Chorus, Moog Phaser, and Valhalla Reverb plugins.

Stay creative everyone!
~ Lisa Bella Donna"

Tonverk - FX Presentation

"The effects on Tonverk are both varied and awesome on the ears. And they can be tweaked, routed and sequenced to the max. Risa T expertly takes us through some of the delicious-sounding newcomers, and hints at what you can do with them."

Antonus 2600 DIY - Test Drive

video upload by Tumeni Knobs

"This is my Antonus 2600 - I just completed building it from the synthCube.com full DIY kit. It is a huge project! Working on it in my free time, it took six months for me to complete. But I'm sure a full-time builder could do it in a couple of weeks. I actually love that it took me this long. :-)

Anyway, since I first powered it up I have been testing, calibrating and starting to understand how it works, and yes, it deserves it's reputation as an awesome sounding and very flexible synthesizer.

This video is just me noodling on it using the Arturia KeyStep Pro with a sound/patch I really like. This is actually just one of its three oscillators, but I have the saw and square waves patched in. The other two oscillators are in LFO mode. The oscillator is using the ADSR envelope and the filter is using the AR envelope plus an LFO to modulate it - makes some interesting accents.

Effects are courtesy of the Fractal Audio VP4, which is an incredible pedal.

I thought adding some drums would give this more of a musical context, so I force-fit some patterns from EZ Drummer.

The opening groove is definitely reminiscent of Bluetech's Laika, from the Spacehop Chronicles album. It's intentional. :-) I really like his stuff! Go buy some at Bandcamp.

This signal path for this recording goes like this: 2600 into VP4 into iRig into iPhone. I then applied a little EQ in Studio One, just to trim out the extreme highs and lows - I did not use any compression on this.

Can't wait to make some "proper" music with this amazing synth.

Cheers!"

Brussels School Diaries, Day 5 : "Icy Nucleus" | original electronic music jam

video upload by No Lake

"This is the penultimate 'live' jam recorded for the incoming album. The other songs are already written as well, but they will be revealed on the final album. I will now start the long mix and mastering process and hope to release the album at the beginning of 2026, basically one year after my latest album “Speaking of Analog” that you welcomed in an incredible way!

So, what's the philosophy of this story compared to the previous one? Well, the idea is to step outside the 'ambient' framework to bring a slightly more "electro" touch, but without betraying my vision of electro-ambient. It won’t be EDM. An alternation of long, intoxicating pieces with shorter, more rhythmic ones like this one.
But in the end, all of this is just the continuation of a story that has brought me here with you."
