"6/14/25 ElectroComp EML 200 + SSL 1520 Segwencer IV + Happy Nerding FM AID

This was a test of the 5U version of Happy Nerding FX AID with the ElectroComp EML 200. It’s processing the master sine wave from the upper EML 200, and modulated by the master triangle from the lower EML 200. The upper EMl 200 ring mod and switch are also being used, with the switch getting pulsed by the lower EML 200 master square wave. The Synthetic Sound Labs 1520 Segwencer IV is also being used, modulated by the lower EML 200 master triangle. The spring reverb is from the EML 200."

Liminal Patch 010 : Dark Ambient Modular Exploration : 10 Minutes of Threshold Invocation

video upload by Botched Creative

"AETHERIS NEXUSis a 10-minute descent into modular tension, where structured performance collides with controlled unpredictability. A convergence of control and surrender. Droning analog oscillators stretch across a dark horizon. Sculpted noise writhes in the aether—each exhale a ghost of resonance. Randomized ostinatos emerge like faulty memories. Pulsing bass figures carve a path agnostic to meter—structured, but answerable only to their own internal logic.

Recorded live to multitrack, each voice was captured in real time—a fleeting convergence of structure and volatility. What emerged was part performance, part algorithmic drift: a mesh of voltages and reactive systems colliding in ways that can’t be precisely reentered.
An improvisation encoded in circuitry and instinct. Once aligned—now gone.

Liminal Patch 010 marks the end of Series One. Liminal Patches Series Two will return after a brief hiatus.

Live Set Re-recorded - from Superbooth25, feat AJH SYNTH all-analogue modules

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This is a re-recording of a 20-minute live set by @DreamsOfWires for Superbooth25, and consists of two old tracks from my video back-catalog. It's quite a minimal rig, configured as two all-analogue synth voices - one for melodic patterns, one for pitched drone parts.
The actual performance at the event suffered technical problems as a result of failing cables and a dodgy musician's inability to recover much from it. As a result said musician decided to record a version of it after returning home, demonstrating how it should have sounded.
In my defence, this rig had been on display for 3 days at the AJH Synth booth, demoing modules, being re-patched, fiddled with, then re-patched, etc... but then again, a bad workman always blames their tools :P
I hope this version is more audible.

The Synthetic Sound Labs Dual Slope Generator bipolar output to CGS01 input A. CGS01 output A to .com Q123 to muSonics Multiples to Free State FX Macro Digital Oscillator V/OCT input and to Happy Nerding FM Aid CV input and to .com Q125, with Q125 output to muSonics Wave Folder CV input.

Liminal Patch 008 : Ambient Eurorack Modular Exploration

video upload by Botched Creative

"Creaturae Imaginis is a slow-burning descent into tone, texture, and atmosphere—12 minutes of ambient analog synthesis, layered with subtle generative elements. Recorded live to multitrack, each voice was captured in isolation, allowing for extensive post-processing and detailed mixing. The result is a piece that blurs the line between raw performance and sculpted sound design—a meditation on presence, process, and the strange beauty of voltage in motion.

Sons of the Arpy: Roland SH-2, System-500, Deckard's Voice, FX Aid Pro, Mimeophon, G-Storm Electro

video upload by thesrabbit

"The SH-2 has some kind of power over me. I can't get away from it. Not that I want to!

This is the first time I've tried adding a 3rd oscillator to the SH-2 by running a single Roland System-500 512 square with PWM into the external audio input. I thought this would naturally lead to making a massive 3 detuned osc + sub monosynth sound, but instead I gravitated to something much more melodic, by setting up each oscillator at a different pitch, making chords with nice intervals. With the ability to set the bender to VCO 2 only, I can change the interval of one of the notes easily, either up or down, without disrupting the vibe at all. The T-Rex Replicator tape delay adds some echo and gritty texture, and then the Make Noise Mimeophon delay fans it out into the stereo field. The sequence of notes is a simple 4 note arp that I transpose with the NiftyKeyz. The mod wheel is assigned to tape delay time, and the arp clock output is fed into a 2HP clock divider, which drives the kick, though half a beat behind because that's how clock dividers work I guess. The kick is a simple decay envelope routed to the G-Storm Electro SH-2 VCF with a moderate amount of resonance and saturation. There's an additional percussive element with some noise going to the G-Storm SH-5 VCF, through the LP first and then the dedicated bandpass which is being swept by an LFO.

The Blade Runner-ish lead sound is of course the Black Corporation Deckard's Voice, paired with the Rachael ring modulator, though it's not being used as a ring-mod, but rather a second sawtooth oscillator. 2 saws are essential to the BR sound, and therefore the Rachael is a required addition to Deckard's Voice. The output runs into the Happy Nerding FX Aid Pro set to the Black Cloud reverb algorithm, which completes the sound.

There's just a tiny dash of master reverb in post that serves as the final glue to hold it all together."

Happy Nerding MMM VCF 6HP version

video upload by Happy Nerding

"MMM VCF 6HP version is now available for order"

http://www.happynerding.com/

"MMM VCF (M**g Multi Mode Voltage Controlled Filter) is a dual VCF having common controls for both parts. Thus it can be used as a stereo filter, or patched with different combinations of the available inputs/outputs. And all this functionality is packed in the compact 8 hp wide module.
MMM VCF has the famous transistor ladder core introduced by Bob Moog, but also features the added Band Pass and High Pass modes, not available in the original design. Those extra modes are greatly widen the possible spectral modification of the input sound.
The module was carefully designed to have vanishingly small noise and bleed.

SPECIFICATIONS

FREQ: 20 Hz … 22 kHz – manual frequency range

RES: 35 Hz … 22 kHz – self oscillation range

FM: 0 … 5 V will modulate the whole hearing range at max settings

LP: 24 db/oct Low Pass output

BP: 12 db/oct Band Pass output

HP: 12 db/oct High Pass output

outputs impedance: 500 Ohm
module depth: 4 cm
width: 6 HP
power consumption: +42 mA / -40 mA at +/-12 Vdc"

Wicked Game

Parapolyparty - Retro Jam with DSI Pro-2 in paraphonic mode and Eurorack VCOs

video upload by hypergol

"Follow-up to my demo/tutorial video on setting up a paraphonic patch on the DSI Pro-2, supplementing each of its four digital oscillators with Eurorack VCOs.

I had to do something fun with it besides a basic demo, and the 2 oscillators per note/voice gave the "Filter 1" patch from the previous video some serious 80's analog poly vibes. I shortened the decay and release envelope times to make it punchier. This jam is the natural result of dialing in that sound. I bleed the 80's, haha.

Instruments:
Dave Smith Instruments Pro-2 (main synth)
Oberheim OB-X8 (octave down bass)
Roland JX-3P (sprinkles of majesty)
G-Force Software Oberheim DMX (drums)
Alesis Midiverb II (Gated reverb on snare, bloom reverb on toms)

Modules: Roland System-500 512 VCOs, 530 VCAs, 540 Envelopes, Wavefonix Dual CEM 3340, Doeper dual envelopes, Arcus Audio dual VCA, Pittsburgh Modular Giraffe, Doepfer VCA, Happy Nerding FX Aid Pro (for additional majestic reverb for the majesty)
