Dark DB-01 drones with 100% resonance (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"This began as a lengthy blather and demo of the Boss RT-2 ensemble pedal. That's the pedal designed as a Leslie effect emulation promising gorgeous swooshes and modulation. But as Bilbo Baggins warned (if I recall the quote correctly): "It's a dangerous business Frodo, switching on your synth. You play a single note, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

So here all that remains of my sumptuous and detailed RT-2 demo is a rather dark, dirty, and meandering resonant dronefest. I blame the RT-2 of course. I was testing the effect on a poly synth and I was horrified that it seemed to be sucking all the bottom end away. Surely that couldn't be right I thought. So, purely as a test, I plugged in the trusty DB-01. That's all it took. The RT-2's tube saturation was engaged, the DB-01 resonance cranked, and beautiful harmonics cascaded out.

As usual there is absolutely no DAW processing on the DB-01 sound. The vocal samples were obviously added afterwards with some Valhalla delay. DB-01 delay is from the Boss SDE-3.

"quick demo to showcase the Zoom ER-200 analog BBD delay and spring reverb currently for sale.
Unit was slightly modded to double the original delay max time.
Synth used is the Realistic Concermate MG-1 by Moog"

via this Reverb listing

"rare made in Japan analog BBD and spring reverb. It was also sold as Deki or Cosmic AE-7000 and is quite similar to the Evans Echopet 250 / Rolling Rec 4.

The EQ (tone) is applied to the preamp too so can be used to shape the sound of the input source even without effect, and the delay sound passes through the reverb tank, so even when echo volume is down but if there are some repeats, the delay sound will pass throuhg the reverb. This can give some nice results.

Quite lo-fi sounding, bit noisy but great on synths, check the demo I made.

The unit was modded to double the max delay time.

Everything is working as it should. Input gain is quite sensitive, even in instrument input so you'd better lower the output volume of your source to get the best S/N ratio without clipping."

BOUCAN as Wavefolder & Waveshaper | Eurorack Demo Test

video upload by SOVAGE ENGINEERING

"A quick one-take video showing BOUCAN, being used as an odd wavefolder / waveshaper instead of its noise generator usual duties.
No editing, no cuts, just raw sound exploration.
If you like this format, let me know in the comments! It’ll motivate me to upgrade my video gear and make a lot more demos like that one with different modules."
