Cwejman S1 MKII – Percussive Synthesis Study


video upload by verstaerker

"This track focuses on the percussive side of the Cwejman S1.
FM, ring mod, noise and audio-rate modulation drive fast envelopes
to form drums, textures and tonal elements.
Drum sounds are sampled and sequenced on an MPC.
All sound sources come exclusively from the S1.
The strength of the S1 lies in its precision:
extreme settings remain controlled, tight and dynamic.

Soft Synths, Warped Drums, and Lo-Fi Tape Textures | Wave and Cradle 2026-02-01 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using ‪@SONICWARE‬ AmbientØ, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and tape loops. Soft synth tones drenched in reverb blend with warped drum patterns and lo-fi tape textures, forming an ambient electronica composition.

On AmbientØ, harmonic sequences and single-note patterns are played, with additional synth parts performed live. Built-in reverb is applied, followed by further reverb processing via ‪@strymon‬ blueSky on the output.

The OP-1 field loops sampled drum sounds using the ENDLESS sequencer.

A ‪@WeAreRewind1‬ cassette player plays a tape loop containing a recorded piano performance. The sound is recorded through ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM, with reversed layers added using the PHRASE LOOPER."

The "Easel" Spirit in 3U - A West Coast Eurorack Deep Dive


video upload by Sean Graves

The following is in via Sean Graves, who had the following to say:

"The piece, 'The 'Easel' Spirit in 3U: Rebuilding a Buchla Soul in Eurorack,' documents my five-year journey to replicate the specific workflow and 'soul' of the Buchla Music Easel using a curated Eurorack system."

"This post explores the creative power of 5-step sequencing (the 'migrating downbeat'), the 'origami' of wavefolding via the Verbos Complex Oscillator, and the organic harmonic dampening of vactrol-based Low Pass Gates. It’s a technical yet accessible look at why the West Coast workflow remains the 'holy grail' for performance - based synthesis."

The full write-up follows, with a demonstration of the system in the video above.


The “Easel” Spirit in 3U: Rebuilding a Buchla Soul in Eurorack

The Buchla Music Easel is legendary. It isn’t just a synthesizer. It’s a self-contained performance ecosystem. For many of us, the “Easel” workflow is the holy grail of synthesis. However, instead of chasing original hardware, I’ve spent the past five years rebuilding its specific soul within the Eurorack format. Because everyone deserves a hobby, right?

The Chef vs. The Sculptor
Most East Coast synthesizers work like a sculptor. You start with a massive block of harmonic noise (Sawtooth or Square waves) and carve it away with a filter. The Buchla workflow is different. It’s like being a chef in your own Hell’s Kitchen. You start with basic, “bland” ingredients (sine waves) and spice them up with Frequency Modulation (FM), Amplitude Modulation (AM), your choice, and then fold until the sound sizzles.

My current rig recreates this spirit by focusing on three pillars: Uncertainty, Complex Oscillation, and the iconic Sequential Voltage Source.

Part One: The Modulators (The Brain)
In a true Easel style setup, the Tokyo Tape Music Center 5-Step Sequencer acts as the brain. While most modern sequencers favor 4-8-16-32 steps, the 5-step limitation is actually a creative superpower.
