TB303 Day. Acid house with Kaleidoscope


video upload by Vadjuse

"Patch notes.
Track 1 is a classic acid bass. A saw with an opening filter. And a bit of glide.

Track 2 is a kick drum—a triangle wave with pitch modulation.

This is where the magic begins.

The bass volume envelope on Track 1 modulates the decay of the kick drum on Track 2. The louder the bass, the faster the kick drum rolls in.

The kick drum volume envelope (which the bass modulates, don't forget) on Track 2 modulates the modulation depth of the volume envelope, which modulates the opening of Track 1's filter. This is what makes the bass sound so unique.

You won't be able to get this sound on a TB303 or other high-end grooveboxes. Because their modulations can only exist within a track and don't extend beyond it. In this video, the sounds of both instruments are closely linked and influence each other.

Joranalogue Audio Design | full system acid jam | 3-03 DAY


video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"For this patch I tried recreating the classic tb acid sound, as well as mimicking the iconic sequencer with glides and accents. As a bonus I used Warp 1 for distorting the bass sound into wonderful resonant grunge. The drums should be somewhat reminiscent of the sounds of the same era classic tr drumcomputer. I had a lot of fun trying to create this acid patch on a full Joranalogue Audio Design system. I can't wait for 8-08 day... —Simon :)"

Minimal Bass: PPG 1002 Dark. Raw. Uncompromising.


video upload by Cornel Hecht

"There’s a darker side to analog.
In this trailer, the PPG 1002 dives deep into minimal bass territory — heavy, hypnotic, relentless.
A single voice. Massive presence.
Every pulse alive. Every filter movement breathing.
Turn it up. www.ppgsynth.com"

Knif BBD In Session


video upload by GSF AGENCY

"Thanks Pete Min @lucysmeatmarket

A stereophonic, analog bucket-brigade tube delay with a fully analog signal chain and clock generation.

1200 ms of delay.
Four NOS Special Quality pentode vacuum tubes.
Continuously variable tube distortion.
Self-adapting anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters for the widest possible frequency response.

Put a source in.
Get magic out.

With 1200 ms on tap, you’ll have your second great idea ready before the first one even comes back around.

Analog. Alive. Unapologetic.

KNIF BBD: Source in, magic out.

As for the riffs, Siouxsie, Dead Can Dance, & Cocteau Twins? What do they remind you of?

Mad Science Lab - Tom's Big O's


video upload by Mad Science Lab

"This Oberheim was custom built for Ronnie Montrose around 1980 and used by him until the early 1990's. This synthesizer has some great sounding Synthesizer Expander Modules. In this video, the two sequencers are driving all four SEM units. I am stepping through the sequencer steps with a foot switch plugged into the step input on the patch panel A. Recorded direct off mixer no effects, compression or eq.
