20 voice UDO Super 8+ // How to Upgrade Your Super 8

video upload by Starsky Carr

"4 extra voices for your UDO SUPER 8 to bring the total count to 20 voices, or 10 binaural voices to give it the same as the SUPER GEMINI It's a simple procedure if you follow the instructions:

Undo the crews at the back,
Under the front lip and
All but one at the sides (leaving one as a hinge),
Then a couple from the bottom.

Open the lid, and pop in the boards - just like memory boards in a PC. Then screw everything back together.

Upload the latest firmware
Calibrate the new voices

then you're good to go."

Experimental Beats w/ Nord Lead, Modular Synth, Grandmother | Broken step 2025-06-20

video upload by atnr

"A track built with ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, a modular synth, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother—IDM driven by wildly shifting beats and modulation-rich stabs.

Modular drums: Two Mutable Instruments Plaits, an ‪@instruo‬ Instruō Cs-L, and a Basimilus Iteritas form the beat architecture.

Sequencing comes from a monome Grid and White Whale, with extra trigger multiplication/division via a 4ms Quad Clock Distributor (QCD).

Kick: Plaits through a ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ QPAS filter, shaped by a Function envelope.
Metallic percussion: Another Plaits voice.
Tom-like hits: Layered Cs-L and Basimilus Iteritas.

Nord Lead: Heavily modulated to create metallic stabs, processed with reverb from a ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus."

TWO EKO RHYTHMAKER DRUM MACHINES GO TO BATTLE

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"EKO RHYTHMAKER - BIX BOX MODEL VS REGULAR SIZE - One is big - one is small - which one sounds the best?

1970 - the Rhythmaker is an analog drum machine from Italy's EKO, originally makers of guitars and amps. The Rhythmaker was one of their earlier attempts at drum machines that would later result in the legendary EKO ComputeRhythm, used by all the real synth pros of the 1970s - or at least those who could get their hands on one.

These are two different versions of the same model Eko Rhythmaker analog vintage drum machine - with identical features and preset rhythms - but they sound quite different.

Both front panels has 16 push buttons for rhythms of standard fare : Jazz, Mambo, Rock etc. These could potentially be engaged all at the same time, giving you a cacophony of poly rhythms.

On both units we find 3 potentiometers : Volume, Tempo and Sustain, the last one is a bit of a mystery since it only seems to change the pitch of a few sounds.

Quite a novelty at the time, and the reason we like the Rhythmaker so much, is the individual volume control of each of the 7 drum sounds.
Here the bigger version offers longer sliders, to more precisely dial in the volume desired.

The smaller guy is a bit punchier and warmer sounding maybe?

Light up the comment section and let us hear your thoughts."

Ancient Passage

video upload by davidryle

"This basis of this project was between the new Synthetic Sound Labs 1655 Geo-Gruvn euclidean sequencer and a few different Low Pass Filter modules. The new SSL 1015 LPG with the cadmium sulfide CdS element, the Mega Ohm Audio CdS VCF/A module and the Cyndustries Quad Low Pass Gates module. The Cyndustries module was enhanced by Phil from Mega Ohm Audio to be much more responsive. A big change and very useful.

The Geo-Gruvn module from SSL is an adaption of the Hagiwo board and was also enhanced to provide a more efficient response all the way to audio rate clocking.

The main orchestration automation module in this piece was with the synthesizers.com Q170 Midi Gates module. The use of eight channels of midi gate streams from Cubase were the way each section were enabled on and off. My hands-on modulation was simplified to allow me to change timbre, filter settings and delay rates with ease.

The center section featured the Dove Mu-Seq D900 sequencer for a pattern which began by me running the sequencer in reverse and recording the track to Cubase, then reversing it back into the mix. I started with the Woven Spirits (MI Plaits) at a higher octave and drew it down until it matched the timbre for the rest of the midsection.

The last part was the dual Matrix run into a pair of quantizer modules in which I timed the pitch voltage outputs with the Geo-Gruvn gate outs. These voices were the Dotcom Q206 and Q206A modules through the Frequency Central X Series Low Pass Filter and an Empress Reverb pedal.

Other delays included the Modcan 73B dual delay with loads of modulation, and the SSL 1310 Digital Delay.

The opening drone is a feedback from the TipTop Audio Z-DSP VC-Digital Signal Processor with the Halls of Valhalla chipset in Plate Reverb mode. This drone also arose in the center section.

A pair of frequency shifter modules (Encore Electronics and Behringer Bode Clone) were used for the Snare and Hi Hats enhancement. The kit drums were the LDB-2E Analog Drums from Delptronics and the TipTop SD808. They were sequenced from the Mutable Instruments Grids module and a pair of Turing Machines and an MI Marbles module."

Shadows of Saturn Dual / Paraphonic VCO From Recovery Effects

video upload by recoverysounds

"Shadows of Saturn is a dual oscillator module with a paraphonic twist. Each oscillator can operate independently or together using a single CV source. This allows for intuitive interval tuning, perfect fifths, octaves, subtle detuning, and more, unlocking rich melodic textures and sound design possibilities.

Each channel offers four selectable waveforms (triangle, saw, sine, and square), navigated via a dedicated scroll button. It is housed in a compact 10HP format ideal for space-conscious Eurorack systems.

Whether you need a reliable pair of oscillators or are venturing into paraphonic synthesis with individual outputs, Shadows of Saturn brings flexibility, depth, and character to any modular setup.

Designed and assembled in Seattle, Washington. Includes a one-year limited warranty if registered within 30 days of delivery.

Features:
Four waveforms per oscillator: triangle, saw, sine, square
Independent or paraphonic operation with dual outputs
Bipolar signal operation
Frequency range: 20Hz – 20kHz
1V / octave tracking"

Children/Robert Miles - (Novation Circuits Dream Version)

video upload by Guinan

"Huge thanks to @hansotto8563 for this suggestion. Thanks again to all subscribers for their support. I’ve always loved this track and it remains a favourite to this day.

First released in 1995 this song was originally composed by DJ Robert Miles (real name Roberto Concina) as a ‘wind-down’ track for the end of his DJ sets. Credited as starting the genre of ‘dream house’ it was conceived as a way of reducing the death toll for clubbers returning from Italian clubs and falling asleep at the wheel.

The whole track was programmed and played on just the two machines’ pictured, a Novation Circuit Tracks and Circuit Rhythm. No additional synth or effects were used and the track was recorded straight from the output of the Rhythm (which mixed in the audio input from the Tracks).

I hope you enjoy the end result and check back soon for more tunes.

More details for synth nerds;

I’ve been thinking for a while as to how to cover this. Very much of the 90’s, it used sampled instruments and this made it harder to keep this an all-Circuit track. So much of the track relies on the impact of the piano and guitar samples I needed to reproduce these convincingly. I used my Circuit Rhythm purely as an expander in this case and all the sequences are played from the Circuit Tracks.

The Circuit Rhythm is running purely as a MIDI slave device for channels 3 and 4 only. I plan to detail how to do this in another video – mainly because the title ‘Make Rhythm Your Slave’ popped into my head and seemed too good to waste!

The original piano sound was apparently played on a Kurzweil K2000 and I managed to find a sample of the same sound. The Rhythm is monophonic and the sample is not multisampled but I think (with lot’s of reverb and delay) I managed to get it sounding not too bad.

The patches are self-programmed and I had some fun putting together the thunder and rain ambience effects from free online sample libraries.

The tracks are as follows.
TRACKS
Synth 1 – M1 Organ bass-like patch
Synth 2 – phased detuned sawtooth pad
MIDI 1 – MIDI channel 3 to piano sample track on Rhythm
MIDI 2 – MIDI channel 4 to acoustic guitar sample on Rhythm
Drum 1 – bass drum, 909 sample
Drum 2 – 909 snare sample
Drum 3 – 909 hihat and closed hihat samples.
Drum 4 – ambient samples for thunder, rain etc. (from various free online sample libraries) edited via phaser effect as per original track.
RHYTHM
Track 3 (MIDI channel 3) Kurzweil K2000 sample.
Track 4 (MIDI channel 4) Kawai acoustic guitar sample.

The remaining sample tracks and sequencer on the Rhythm were not used (to reduce the complexity of the track). I based the track on the Dreams version of the song and had to simplify it somewhat to fit in the Tracks. Many of the patterns were played at quarter speed and the notes played unquantized to use micro-steps to squeeze longer squences in. Nonetheless I’ve had to simplify the arrangement but I hope I’ve captured the spirit of this classic.

Thanks once again for watching. Fire away with any questions in the comments and stay tuned"

Thicken Kicks, Bass, and Synths with OCELOT Octaver

video upload by Fuse Audio Labs

Press release follows:

Fuse Audio Labs offers OCELOT Octaver as octave-down weight- and octave-up presence-delivering plugin with precision and ease

DUESSELDORF, GERMANY: truly analog-sounding plugins developer Fuse Audio Labs is proud to announce availability of OCELOT Octaver — offered up as an octave-down weight- and octave-up presence-delivering plugin with precision and ease, duly designed to add deep punch to kicks, extra growl to bass, or subtle enhancements to synth lines as a streamlined tool that reshapes source material in powerful, specific ways with zero latency and minimal CPU (Central Processing Unit) load — as of June 19…

OCELOT Octaver offers full control over the frequency focus of each octave via dedicated TUNE controls — unlike many traditional octave effects, enabling optimal low-end extension and top-end lift to be dialled in with precision as a result of this being so successfully implemented. Its Listen mode, meanwhile, aids in identifying the exact range being enhanced, enabling highly targeted and musical results.

Anchored around a state-of-the-art algorithm, OCELOT Octaver maintains signal integrity throughout. The plugin delivers consistent, phase-stable performances — even on fast transients or harmonically complex sources, contrasting wildly with the warbly, glitch-prone behaviour common to many octavers out there. The outcome is tight, clean octave content that blends naturally into the mix.

OCELOT Octaver’s detailed visual feedback supports confident decision-making at all times. There are separate level meters for each octave, the output signals providing clear level referencing, while the collapsable FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) view reveals the effect’s spectral footprint. Furthermore, octave solo options, smart key shortcuts, and global level control complete a workflow built for flexibility, precision, and speed.

“Octavers are often either too simplistic or too unpredictable to be truly useful in serious productions,” proffers Fuse Audio Labs CEO Reimund Dratwa. “We set out to change that, offering precision tuning, rock-solid tracking, and deep sound-shaping tools in a plugin that feels as creative as it is reliable,” he continues, concluding: “It’s all about inspiring results, without it getting in the way.”

OCELOT Octaver is available at a significantly discounted introductory promo price of only $29.00 USD until July 19, 2025 — rising thereafter to its regular price of $69.00 USD — directly from its dedicated webpage, which includes more in-depth information, here: https://fuseaudiolabs.com/ocelotoctaver_utmpr.html

14-day trial versions of all Fuse Audio Labs plugins without any limitations are available to download from here: https://fuseaudiolabs.com/plugins.html
