RYK Modular Envy Machine// First Test (with the Cloud Terrarium & Polygogo (in two parts)


video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

A quick first test with the ‪@RYKModular‬ Envy Machine modulating the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium and the E-RM Polygogo modules."

Budapeszt Prototype in Action!


video upload by Xaoc Devices

"We have been bombarded with requests for a more extensive demonstration of Budapeszt's capabilities. Apparently, the Superbooth sneak peek has piqued your interest :-) Here's 14 minutes of various Budapeszt patches with minimal external influence - simple sound sources (or no sound sources at all!), no other effects (except Samarkanda in a couple of patches; but no reverb!), rarely any external modulation.

It is not a tutorial, nor an in-depth demo, just a way of making sure you know what you're missing in your case and what to look out for :-)

And now we get back to work to finalize the module and start production!"
