kNoB technology ηCarinae 2 Eurorack VCO Full Review and Demonstration

video upload by kNoB Technology

"kNoB technology presents an updated and improved Eurorack VCO module ηCarinae 2
Our second ray of light during a dark time

The ηCarinae 2 is a fully analog tzfm oscillator (tri-based).
The concept behind the creation of ηCarinae was to develop a generator with multi-level wave shaping and transformation, allowing not only smooth selection of the base waveform but also modification of the waveform itself in order to expand the available timbres.
7-level waveforming= simple form + form shaping + sub osc + "sine+" + FM + selfpatching + Ring mod
5 basic waves (Tri, Sine, Saw, Double saw, Square PWM) and white noise with vactrol LP filter
Wave folding for sine and triangle waves
SAW and Double SAW, both with Smooth saw ramp shaper (Rise to Fall)
Two SUB OSC f/2 + f/4 with CV level control in main mix
Hard and Soft sync
2x LFO modes
SINE+ mode for mixing simple waveforms with a folding sine wave
Pure analog design in every part of the module
LIN, EXP, TZFM, TZPM, RING modulation possibilities

Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Evoke: Ashen

video upload by SONICWARE

"LIVEN Evoke | Acoustronic Synthesizer with Granular Effect
https://sonicware.jp/pages/liven-evoke

Ashen

Today I just jammed with the arpeggiator function on the LIVEN Evoke.
The piano part combines the chord function with the arpeggiator to create a simple loop.
Using the HarmonicWave parameter, I subtly added upper harmonics with a shimmer-like effect that catches nicely in the reverb.
In the middle section, I layered a Peruvian flute to bring some organic texture to the chordal atmosphere, using breathy tones rich in fine noise.
For the low end, I used an electric guitar waveform—slightly wah-like and a bit distorted—adding a unique, wavering texture to the mix.

今日は、LIVEN Evokeのアルペジエーター機能を使ってJamってみました。
ピアノはコード機能とアルペジエーターを併用し、シンプルなループを構築。
そこにHarmonicWaveパラメータで、シマー系の効果が得られる高域の倍音をほんの少しだけ重ね、リバーブに心地よく引っかかるようにしています。
中盤からはペルーフルートを重ね、微細なノイズを含む息遣いでコード感に有機的な陰影をプラス。
低域にはエレキギター波形を使用し、少しワウっぽく、歪んだようなユニークな質感で、独特のうねりを添えました。

Demo - Brutal Techno - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by Yves Big City

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"This isn’t polite techno. This is teeth-grinding, chest-pounding, warehouse-breaking sound design—built specifically for the Novation Circuit.

With Brutal Techno, we push the synth engine into overdrive: distorted hoovers, snarling acid, rolling kick synths, haunting pads, and searing leads. And it’s all built around a one-finger technique—press a single note and unleash full-scale rave sequences without menu diving or finger gymnastics.

Drawing from the energy of AK Sports, Trym, and Amelie Lens, this pack captures the chaotic pulse of fast techno and rave culture—engineered for aggressive live sets and fearless sound explorers.

What’s Inside:

128 Presets – including hoover leads, fat synth kicks, acid basslines, distorted pads, and sequenced riffs
64 Samples – punchy one-shots for drums and FX to bring grit and drive to every beat
32 Demo Sessions – instant rave templates to perform or remix on the fly
One-Finger Techno – play a single note to trigger full sequences and wild patterns
Fully tagged, performance-optimized, and ready to overload your dancefloor
This is for the producers who want to destroy comfort zones. Whether you’re crafting brutal drops, relentless groove loops, or jacking live jams, Brutal Techno gives you the tools to be loud, fast, and unapologetically raw.

Not for everyone. Perfect for the right ones

Made for Novation Circuit Tracks but compatible with OG circuit.

via this Reverb listing

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"The Oberheim Matrix-12, released in 1985, is a legendary analog synthesizer known for its deep modulation capabilities and lush, complex sounds. It was essentially two Oberheim Xpander modules combined into one keyboard unit, offering 12-voice polyphony with dual oscillators per voice and extensive matrix modulation routing. Designed during the peak of Oberheim's innovation period, the Matrix-12 marked the end of the company's original era before Tom Oberheim's departure. Despite being released just before digital synthesis took over the market, it remains a revered instrument for its rich analog tone and flexibility.

This synth is in fantastic shape for it's age, minor cosmetic blemishes throughout. Includes a newer flight case by Clydesdale as shown.

The recent servicing ensures that all voice cards, filters, envelopes, and modulation routings are fully operational, with cleaned contacts, calibrated tuning, and updated components as needed for optimal performance. (Serial no. P63707)

Service notes:

FIRMWARE V 1.1
-Recapped and refurbished power supply

via this eBay listing, also on Reverb

"Up for grabs is this sweet Korg 770 monosynth. I believe it was one of Korgs first synthesizers and is the precursor to the legendary linage of killer synths like the 700s, maxikorg, and the MS20 etc. I have owned (or still own) them all and i do say that this little beast is the most unique and aggressive synth by way of tone. The filter can be sweet and smooth or gnarly and wild. The ring modulator and noise generator are unlike any other. It all its a great package... in a little package. Nothing else sounds like it."

Bad Gear - The Monster

Redshift 6 - Melodic Techno Demo

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"In this Melodic Techno demo, the Redshift 6 is playing four live parts multitimbrally:

Part 1: Polyphonic arpeggio line
Part 2: Stereo unison bass line
Part 3: 5-note paraphonic chord pad
Part 4: Monophonic 303-style bass line

All parts were recorded to separate tracks using Redshift 6’s six individual outputs.Drums and FX were added in post-production in the DAW.

With Redshift 6, multitimbrality is always at your fingertips. Its user interface is built from the ground up to enable a seamless workflow between mono- and multitimbral setups.

Under the hood, Redshift 6 is always multitimbral—there’s no need to switch to a specific multitimbral mode. A new multitimbral synth part can be activated with just the push of a button. Voice allocation, polyphony/paraphony, group settings, and other parameters are easily configured in the Parts view.

Multitimbrality allows Redshift 6 to function as multiple independent synthesizers. Each part can be polyphonic, paraphonic, or monophonic, and each can have its own unique character."

RIFT - Modular Percussion #10 // Arbhar, Prism, Subharmonicon, Mojave, Matriarch

video upload by David Falcon

"/rɪft/
noun
1. a crack, split, or break in something.
2. a serious break in friendly relations.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
El objetivo de este tema era hacer un patch percusivo con el modular. En el Arbhar tengo un sample de estática de la radio que paso por el filtro del Qu-bit Prism. Con un sample and hold desde PAM's lo modulo rítmicamente creando el patrón rítmico más agudo.
Despuén en el Moog Subharmonicon tengo un patch de Bombo que paso a través del Qu-Bit Mojave, y así lograr unos golpes que recuerdan a toms haciendo el beat algo más complejo.

Esa capa base quedó grabada durante un par de semanas sin que tuviera opción de añadirle nada más e iba a subirla así, pero decidí crear una linea de bajo con el Analog Four, un arpegio y una textura con el OP-1 y por último un lead/textura con el Matriarch.

The objective of this song was to make a percussive patch with the modular. In the Arbhar I have a sample of radio static that I pass through the Qu-bit Prism filter. With a sample and hold from PAM's I modulate it rhythmically creating the rhythmic pattern.
Later on the Moog Subharmonicon I made a Bass Drum patch that I pass through the Qu-Bit Mojave, and thus achieve some hits that are reminiscent of toms making the beat somewhat more complex.

That base layer was recorded for a couple of weeks without me having the chance to add anything else to it. I was going to upload it like this, but I decided to create a bass line with the Analog Four, an arpeggio and a texture with the OP-1 and finally a lead/texture with the Matriarch."
