Empathy for Xils Oxium
"Empathy is a set of 30 sounds exploring the broad capabilities of Xils Lab's gorgeous analog emulation - Oxium.
The sounds are mainly warm, ambient, wonky, evolving, dusty and rich with a Boards of Canada and Ulrich Schnauss feel. A few more random additions sneaked in just because I came across a few cool sounds during the sound design process and wanted to include them.

Klavis Twin Waves Dual Oscillator
Published on Aug 24, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio
"For this patch, the Malekko Voltage Block is the main pitch sequencing brain, with the QCD as the main rhythmic sequencing brain. Two QCD clocks are being sent to trigger both channels of Maths, which then control the volumes of Oscillator 1 and 2 of the Twin Waves via Tangle Quartet. The Parameter CV inputs for both Oscillator 1 and 2 are coming from independently LFOs produced by two Intellijel DixieII+s. Oscillator 1 is providing the melody, with Oscillator 2 providing the bassline. There is an extra kick, made by the Doepfer Thru-Zero VCO, and a Snare, made by Mutable Instruments Braids. The whole mix is then split and sent as an FX send through the Belgrad filter from XAOC, and the Alright Devices Chronoblob delay. In the third patch, the bassline is sent through the MiniMod VCF to demonstrate how filters can respond to its high harmonic content.

You can modify any of the included 'preset' expressions (which emulate a range of 'bread and butter' as well as unusual/unique sounds) or define your own expressions from scratch, so there's plenty of scope for sonic experimentation and discovery.

Eurorack Improv no2
Published on Aug 23, 2017 Richard Lacy
"A fun patch with Sarah Mac, which were enjoying playing with enough to share…
This started as an ambient idea with Rings, but it got out of hand! Mixed straight to stereo, no overdubs or fiddling afterwards. The only computer involvement was to record the stereo audio from the little Mackie mixer.
Geek notes below.
Main clock is the Doepfer Dark Time Sequencer.
1. DarkTime - Rings (pitch, strum and structure from the Dark Time) - AQA Dual SVS in band pass - Z-DSP (valhalla).
Modulation: Maths Ch1 - Rings Position. Maths Ch 4 - Z-DSP reverb time.
A-145 LFO - Z-DSP wet/dry mix.
2. Bass: Korg MS20. Pitch CV from Analogue Solutions SQ8. Gate from 4MS RCD
3. Bass Drum: Atlantis triggered from an SQ8
4. Descending ambient line: Metropolis - A-110 VCO (saw) - Dave Smith Curtis Filter
5. Radio Music Voice: Turing Machine - RadioMusic - A-120 VCF
6. Radio Music frozen in Clouds. Triggered from a clock divider as a percussive element.
7. Low warbly sound: 4MS RCD - AS EG - A-110 pitch CV - (saw) Shapeshifter pitch input - AM Snowfall VCF. Not sure how the Shapeshifter was configured, but it was a nutty little sound on its own!)
8. 4MS SMR - 4MS DLD. The SMR is receiving modulation from Tides and a Moog CP-251
9. 80s-style synth line. This one is a bit nuts… The Stepper Acid - (pitch) two A-110 VCOs - AS Unity Mixer - A-106 VCF (LP) - Veils VCA. Then…
Stepper Acid gate - A-143-1 Complex EG. Ch 1 - Veils. CH2 and Ch3 are firing in series and modulating the filter.
There's a second chain here, starting with the inverted output of the AS Unity Mixer - A-105 SSM VCF.
Stepper Acid accent output - A-143-2 Quad ADSR. Three channels, firing in series, feeding the three CV inputs on the filter. The overall effect of this makes a nice complex sound for a simple synth sequence.
All the audio went into a little Mackie desk. 2 FX sends:
Aux 1: Deeper Spring Reverb
Aux 2: Moogerfooger Clusterflux.
We could have done more with this patch to refine it, but really it’s just a Jam!
Thanks for watching."

We’re now on our way to Stretch goal #2: Module Group #1. If we reach Stretch goal #2 all backers will receive 5 extra modules:

Module Group #1 consists of 2 advanced modules and 3 simple modules:
advanced modules (2)
sampler module with time stretching: allows you to load a WAV file and play it back looped or one shot, with the ability to change the sample’s pitch or length without affecting the other.
granular processor: an advanced granular processer module with support for different kinds of windows, with control over the spread of the grains, grain length, grain speed, grain pitch, offset, etc.
simple modules (3)
simple delay: a simple delay line to delay signals, mostly useful for signals that are used as control (modulation) signals.
bit crusher: a module to reduce the resolution of signals, for example from 32 bit to 8 bit.
physical modeling membrane: allows you to feed a signal trough a membrane implemented using physical modeling."

Audio Damage Re-Releases AD041 914 MK 2 FIXED FILTER BANK
via Chris Randall, of Audio Damage:
"Due to popular request (okay, really due to the fact that Junkie XL keeps flogging it in his YouTube channel) we are returning our venerable 914 Fixed Filterbank plugin, first released in late 2005, to our catalog.
If you're not familiar with it, 914 is a clone of the Moog 914 Fixed Filter Bank module, with some moderate context-specific extensions. This update to Mk 2 adds AAX and VST3 formats, as well as a resizable vector-based GUI, a cross-platform preset manager, and an extra control called 'OFFSET,' that will move the center frequencies of all the bands up or down 10% of their base frequency. We've also extensively reworked the summing network, and added some soft clipping here and there, as a problem with the original was the ludicrous amount of gain it could add. This was a challenge to less-experienced producers, so we've basically added some idiot-proofing."

"This was the hardest song to arrange. I changed my mind several times in the process, wanting to make sure that I captured not only the emotional resonance of the original, but in a way that really connected with me. In the end, I opted for a slower arrangement. One that might not follow the exact flow of the original, but still attempts to capture all of the moments and emotions. I hope you like it. I put a ton of work into making this exactly how I wanted it, and I hope it shows."

Korg iPolysix - "Magique" (Drum and Bass) DJ Galactic
Published on Aug 23, 2017 DJ Galactic
"'Magique' by DJ Galactic (Drum and Bass / DnB / Jungle) on Korg iPolysix with iPad. Made this track while on the train, and used 7 different patterns that I mixed through the song mode to make the "Magique" track. Those apps on iPad looks like a toy, but they are quite powerful and you can make many things with it if you know what you want to achieve."

KORG MS-10 + SQ-1 ~ Will They Pair? Ep.25
Published on Aug 23, 2017 once upon a synth
"In this video I pair the Korg MS-10 with the Korg SQ-1. The MS-10 is a vintage analog monophonic synthesizer made by Korg in the 80s. The SQ-1 is a modern CV and MIDI sequencer which is a nod to the classic SQ-10 which was a companion of the MS family. In this video I use the CV outputs of the SQ-1 to control both the notes and some CV parameters of the MS-10. I hope you enjoy this combination of old and new gear. Throughout the video I'll sometimes process the sound through a ValhallaDSP Room reverb plugin. Finally, towards the end I include a Maxon AD-900 vintage delay pedal."
