New Uses for Old Circuits 02: Sources Of Inversion

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

New Uses for Old Circuits Series

"New Uses for Old Circuits is a series looking at linear and nonlinear processes in the modular system.

In this video we go through every module in the Serge synthesizer to discover which circuits create an inversion at the output. As a result, we create perhaps the most boring synthesizer video on YouTube, but we also lay some important groundwork for the future - creating a conceptual map of the Serge that will be very helpful in feedback patching.

Apologies about the periodic focusing issues - I'm still working on it :)"

Modular dream /Art of analog sequencing: 9VCOs, 4LFOs, 4Noises, 4Filters #modularsynth #analogsynth

video upload by KurtzMindfields

"I present to you a demo of synthesizers made by French luthiers, for whom I develop and explore musical possibilities. Whether they are Moog clones or modern analog instruments, the idea is to rediscover the possibilities of the old modular synthesizers, the sound, and the pleasure.
The Ancestor Moog NRsynth is extremely sensitive and features the original VCOs (3), filters (1 Moog + 1 Steiner Parker), VCAs, and mixers. It also has 2 LFOs + 1 noise generator.
The SynthR 4 is a semi-modular multi-tasker, equipped here with a Moog Ladder filter and the famous 4012 ARP (Moog clone). 3 LFOs + 2 noises... it also has 4 VCOs and 2 SUB VCOs.
The whole thing is controlled in real time through the powerful SynthR4 sequencing software.

synth_nyc Introduces Surface32 – Bidirectional Synthesizer Editing Control Surface Solution

via synth_nyc

"Surface32 is a groundbreaking, multitimbral control surface ecosystem that completely removes the friction between tactile hardware sound design and modern digital workflows. By seamlessly fusing a premium physical controller with a suite of synchronized software clients, Surface32 brings total bidirectional editing to the electronic musician's studio.

Surface32 is the system's brain. Featuring 36 continuous rotary encoders paired with 36 dedicated OLED screens, it holds up to 16 complete hardware synthesizer parameter sets (Instrument Definitions) in its memory at any given time. It bidirectionally updates your synthesizers and your software clients screens instantly, allowing you to work exactly how you want.

Surface32 operates on a dual-tier communication network. It talks to your hardware synthesizers using pure MIDI CC, NRPN, or SYSEX, while simultaneously communicating with the software clients using high-speed NRPN and SYSEX. If you turn a knob on the hardware, the software fader moves. If you move a software fader, the hardware OLED updates. All with zero feedback loops.

You can find the full technical specifications, architecture diagrams, and the different DAW/DAW-less workflows on synth_nyc here.

Introducing Liminal Sound Devices (っ'-') Burg

video upload by electro sportive magnitude

via https://markusr.de/burg.html

"Burg is a great way to start with modular synthesis and plugging in patchcables ;) It provides you with all necessary tools to start your modular journey now. It is a standalone synth voice, complex multi FX processor, controller for external gear or all at once. The perfect companion to any setup, if you already have modular stuff, wanna connect with instruments or other gear. It can work for many different musical approaches and creative processes, it bridges between the analog modular world and external gear. The unique combination of circuits let you customize your desired sound in all analogue ways.

18 individual and characterful modules allow you to explore beautiful and weird interactions. You can easily create dynamic melodies, harmonic drones, weird noises and outer space sound effects. If you plug-in an instrument, a microphone, your favorite tunes or the internal sounds, it is easy to modulate any signal with a crispy filter (wasp-style), a wavefolder, some heavy distortion and a double delay to glitch your mind away. With 55 patching points in total, possible combinations are almost endless. The intuitive touchpad interface gives easy control over multiple CV and gate signals at the same time and is the main modulation source of the Burg system.

Two light dependent controllers guarantee a unique behavior and can be modified easily according to your needs or for experiments. Also other modules can be modified by exchanging components on the back plate, so customizing the frequency range of the oscillators/LFOs or shaping your individual clipping distortion with different types of diodes is possible.

There are two power bus connectors on the backplate so Burg can be used as a power supply for other eurorack modules as well. The internal power supply can be powered with USB-C (barrel jack) from 9V to 18V (center positive) and can work as a power supply for small modular racks using a flying bus cable."

Tonverk: Subtractive Synthesis Explained

video upload by EZBOT

"The Tonverk isn't just a sampler or multi-sampler, it's a synthesizer that can play single cycle waveforms polyphonically. This coupled with wavefolding, distortion, rectification, and modulators.. you have a very powerful synthesizer. Let me explain.."

Roland Juno-60 with Tubbutec Ju-66 upgrade and Juno-66 controller #rolandjuno60 #tubbutec

video upload by analogia pl

"Tubbutec Ju-66 upgrade is so much more than just MIDI. I’m doing a couple of thing in the video. For starters, internal sequencer (coming with the upgrade) plays a monophonic structure but since the notes have long release, final effect is polyphonic. Then I’m using the (available separately from Tubbutec) Juno-66 controller to introduce oscillator detune, additional filter LFO modulation and additional filter envelope. All of these features are available without the controller, of course.

With Tubbutec, any Juno 6 or 60 is such a beast now."

If only the Juno-66 label section was a lid that opened for two mini mini controllers like on the Yamaha CS80 & CS60. And if they had mini mini mini controller sections ad infinitum.

Noise. Lots of it. Heavy glitch with Hikari Monos and Hikari Duos

Hikari Duos

No effects

A noise and glitch jam. They are synced by using CV clock from the Duos into the CV filter of the Monos.

This is noisy but it was needed.

Gets quite funky at 1:48
