Getting Started: Types of Switches in Eurorack


video upload by Noise Engineering

"Switches are one of the most powerful utility modules in Eurorack. They let you change signal routing on the fly, opening up all kinds of possibilities in your patch.

Switches reroute signals. That could mean sending one source to different destinations, or swapping between multiple signal sources.

Electronica with Toy Piano and Fading Harmonies | Ephemeral Tones 2026-06-09 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece built around toy piano sounds and quietly fading harmonies.

This work features KAWAI toy piano, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88.

The toy piano is recorded with an NT-4 microphone. Delay is applied through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, with layered micro loops adding additional texture.

On the CP-88, Rhodes sounds are performed with a subtle delay effect.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads provide the harmonic foundation. Additional reverb and granular processing are applied through the ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM.

"Live analog jam on the Korg MS-20 with the KR-55B drum machine.
Short, energetic, and raw voltage boost."

BLIPPOO BOX LEGACY EURORACK - PROCESING RADIO INPUT


video upload by biyiblip

"The Blippoo Box Legacy processes external audio
through its Twin Peak Filter.

In this patch,
a radio signal is sent into the audio input
and transformed by the resonant filter section.

Originally designed by Rob Hordijk, the Blippoo Box is a living instrument of interaction, instability, resonance and discovery.

The Blippoo Box Legacy Eurorack is not an imitation, not a replica and not a copy.

It is the continuation of Rob Hordijk’s official legacy through Biyiblip.

A musical language carried forward with respect, care and deep connection to its origin.

A circuit that reacts.
A sound that keeps changing.
A living form of musical chaos inside your modular system.

Each unit is handmade one by one in Mallorca by Biyiblip.

No mass production.
No generic module.
Just a living instrument with a soul."

Happiness is a warm chip | 8-bit Nintendo EP


video upload by Jay Hosking

Additional HapiNES posts

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Five chip tunes made with the limitations of the original NES.

00:00 - Stage 1
02:41 - Underworld
05:07 - Cutscene into battle
08:07 - Peace and war
09:55 - Overworld

I grew up on video game music, and it's probably a large part of why I love synthesizers today. What impresses me most about those old soundtracks is how much they can achieve with such a limited voice count and, to a lesser extent, sound palette. (I actually adore the sounds, so I don't see them as limiting.) The Nintendo Entertainment System had two mono synth square waves, one extremely chunky triangle wave mono for bass, and then a noise oscillator for percussion. There was also an extremely low-resolution sampler ("Blades of Steel!") but I chose not to reproduce that here.

For a while, I had been thinking about working within the limitations of the original NES. I could do that on any modern groovebox or synth, of course, but I wanted the limitations forced on me, and I wanted something that got me close to the original sound without a lot of work. Thanks to my Patreon community, I was able to pick up the Twisted Electrons hapiNES L, which emulates the old NES chip sounds, right down to the mono (not stereo!) out.

Once I had the sounds in place, I wanted a way to quickly write and structure songs. The Teenage Engineering OP-XY proved a good choice, because it's quick, has two octaves to play on, has a smart and creative transposition tool, and has an excellent song mode for structuring longer compositions. I also wanted to use some other sequencing tools, so I pulled out the Oxi One Mk2 for the final song. I didn't find it was quite as effective for the song-mode sequencing, but its new Chord Palettes mode led me in some extremely interesting musical directions.

I could have kept going, but five days seemed like a good haul of NES music for now, and proof to myself that I could do it again in the future. I know the music here might not be to everyone's tastes, but it satisfies the kid in me and makes me wish I had an 8-bit game to write a soundtrack for.

Thanks for listening.

Ring Mod & Folding is a KILLER combo // FIRST PATCH with Modrwy from Dwyfor Tech


video upload by DivKid

"I've always really liked the combination of ring modulation & wavefodling. So I was happy to get the chance to try out Modrwy from Dwyfor Tech. Dan at Dwyfor Tech continues to develop from interesting rare circuit designs and unique twists on creating design combinations and ideas that do things a bit differently. Modrwy combines a ring modulator with a softer, 2 stage (I believe) wave folder that allows you to take two inputs and create something interesting from them. In this case a pair of oscillators. Full patch notes are documented exclusively on / divkid

The Eerie Sound Of A Train Acoustics Device


video upload by HAINBACH

"Many of you have asked where I get all the obscure gear I feature here. One of the answers is: road trips. I noticed three very unique pieces of gear on classifieds (Kleinanzeigen) that peaked my interest, and got into a conversation with the seller. I travelled to Halle, and got a look into a beautiful collection. Turns out, her late uncle was an engineer at the Reichsbahn, the east German railway form before the unification of Germany. He worked on a measurement wagon for the Versuchs-u. Entwicklungstelle. In this video I will cover the absolutely massive RFT TZF Terzfilter that he used for measurements, and I now for music.

Buchla Sparkle | Music Easel

"Buchla Modular Synth Sample Pack
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

An inquiry into timbre shaped by the circuitry of a singular electronic instrument
A system built for exploration
Don Buchla’s electronic instruments can be understood as musical tools and as environments for exploration. They allow performers to play in a physical and expressive way, yet they also invite a method of working that resembles research into the behavior of voltage and timbre.
Buchla did not follow the conventions of keyboard based instruments. Instead he created systems in which sound could be shaped through touch sensitive controls, complex modulation, and freely arranged signal paths. As a result, each patch becomes both a performance setup and a place to investigate how tones, noise sources, control voltages and modulation can interact within an electronic space.

This sample pack carries that spirit forward through recordings made with the Buchla Music Easel Modern. It offers a survey of sonic behavior, inviting listeners to study the subtle warmth that emerges when complex oscillators interact. It highlights the characteristic percussive transients of low pass gates. It captures broadband noise shaped by minute spectral movements. It presents drones formed by slow feedback interactions and microscopic frequency shifts. The goal is to provide raw material for creators who wish to work closely with the textures that define this family of instruments."
