Sir Serge

video upload by Memetune Studio

"A self-generating Cybersysnthesis patch on the mighty Serge Modular

The patch is: 2 cross-modulating VCOs being sequenced by a combination of 2 sequencers set at 8 steps and 27 steps, which feed an 8-step Gated Comparator. This goes into a Quantizer. The clocks are being modded by sequencer outputs and random signals. There's VC delay and reverb too. It all goes into the VC stereo mixer which is being modded by the sequencers to give panning variation. Arise, SIR SERGE!"

"Quick demoing of some distortion patches that can be achieved. Simple FM kick drum patch (fm for more harmonic content) into Filterbank to access harmonic distortion thresholds!! Lots to tweak!"

INORI by SERGE Modular - panel walktrough

video upload by Stazma

"Today we check out the Inori panel by Random*Source aka Serge Modular.
I got this one recently and as there is no proper exploration of it online yet, well I made one!
This is a short demo (no in depth geek stuff) of each sections, each with at least one patch exemple.

Have fun!"

SERGE Mantra II Tantra - 15 Sound Impressions

video upload by Serge Modular | Random*Source

"Serge MANTRA II + TANTRA - is this the ultimate 2 panel Serge combination?

MANTRA II is the latest generation of MANTRA - it combines Sequencing with some of Serge's signature modules in the latest incarnation (6th gen): GTO (successor to the Smooth&Stepped Generator), GTS (successor to the Dual Universal Slope Generator), Variable Q Filter+ (more inputs, processor for resonance).

TANTRA was designed as an ideal companion for MANTRA (II) - Rhythm, the voltage controlled divider (÷N) and the Pulse Divider. A number of utility functions (Mix Pro, Active Pro+ = ring modulation!, Mixer), an additional pair of slopes (GTS), the middle section of the classic Wave Multipliers, the brand new Serge VCFX filter plus an XFader as an additional output module (for stereo output).

Here are 15 patches - using only MANTRA II + TANTRA (and occasionally some reverb) - that aim to show the sonic range:

00:00 INTRO / WHITE LIGHT
04:33 OBLIVION APPEASED
07:31 TOXIC FRIES
09:22 CAPTAIN FUTURE
11:36 A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
12:33 TIME CAPSULE 5
14:44 LBVFJVLEYÖR
17:01 GESANG DER SCHWÄCHLINGE
18:59 NIPPON YUSEI KOSHA
19:50 MILAN TO MARSEILLE
22:19 SUMMER BLISS
25:01 DEATH OF A CHIP
26:25 THE TUNNEL

31:37 BONUS: KERNKRAFT"

video upload by batchas

"I made 2 new walnut cabinets for some of my Serge Modular System panels. Not 100% ready, but at least all panels are mounted. As the panels were unmounted I made all needed repairs that accumulated during the last couple of years and also service work on the Paperface. Yes! Old synths are very capricious! Here's a quick patch I did while testing most of the system once it was mounted back."

"From the Archives: Teo playing Serge's 2022 redesign of the original Serge Paperface system - Helios and Tempo di Roma panels, recorded in March 2023.

The Serge Paperface 50 Anniversary system is a standalone, externally powered, authentic Serge synthesizer that Serge himself ingenuously updated in some key aspects.

Panel 1 (Sequencer):
Serge Gate Sequencer

The Magic World of Analog | Serge Modular | Episode 04

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"In this video, I'll dive into the magic world of analog synthesis with a focus on the Serge Wavemultiplier (folder) and Resonant EQ. They sound great, but many of the Serge modules have secret 'magic' worlds, or less dramatic, they can do things you would not expect.

I also took the opportunity to do a compare with the Ohmicide digital distortion, which is ported from a VST. I don't want to compare digital and analog sonically, because I believe digitally modelled analog sounds just as good as real analog. The differences are revealed when unexpected conditions take place. In real analog, mother nature will determine what happens (cause and effect). In digital, you'd encounter an exception. So let's see what happens when Ohmicide has to process its own output :).

Another difference is that digital modules don't have a secret world beyond the code."

Serge Medusa / Subharmonic Oscillator Impressions

video upload by Serge Modular | Random*Source

"Medusa combines two of Serge's latest inventions - the Subharmonic Oscillator and the new VCFX filter - both designed by Serge in 2023 - to carry you to unchartered sonic territories. The Subharmonic Oscillator comprises 7 voices (pulse waves), each voice providing pulse width modulation or subharmonic division as well as 1V/Octave inputs and an individual output. The precision of these voices (with excellent 1V/Oct tracking and temperature stability) in combination with a global Spread control and various FM inputs opens up an enormous sonic range from massive unisono sounds to dissonant, orchestra-style textures. Here a couple of patches using Medusa as sound source with Edelweiss III and sometimes a MicroFreak as keyboard and/or an SEQ8 sequencer.

Patches:

00:00 Intro / Heart of Darkness
03:30 Time to Move
05:06 Let's Go Up
05:36 String Me Up
07:59 Black Hawk
08:32 World War Z
14:31 Illusory Lightness
15:53 Tsahal and Farther South
19:32 Approaching Panama
20:13 Reliving the Future
21:25 End of Days"

"Just a little xmas noodling with the INORI panel and the infamous Mood Mk2 by Chase Bliss.
I wanted to try the pedal with the best-sounding synth I own, and the result was good enough to post, so here we are! A bit of sparkly pinging, and some good ol' drones (mostly because I don't have another panel, but also because the INORI is so good at producing them)
Enjoy!

20 pole Phaser by Jurgen Haible running 808 track

video upload by VanDaalElectronics

"This is a project built on Jurgen Haible 20 pole phaser board. Cases are custom made by us @Van Daal Electronics.

Assembled units can be purchased from: https://vandaal-electronics.com/

For DIY builds PCBs can be ordered from https://serge-modular.com/haible/tau_..."

Additional details:

Jürgen Haible's legendary redesign of the Tau 'The Pipe' Flanger - actually, a Phaser, using 20 (twenty!) all pass filter stages is back in a slightly modernized version, including some additions and modifications compared to the original Haible board:

Transistor arrays (for the 20 poles): pcb supports super-matched THAT300 (DIP) or BCM847DS (SMT).

Obsolete CA3046 in the 1/x function generator has been replaced by LM3046 (SMT).

MTA-156 power connector for +/-15V added - don't install the onboard-PSU parts if you use +/-15V!!!

MTA-156 power connector can also be used for 10 pin Euro power connectors - please note that +/-12V is experimental, not supported (yet), see below!

LFO: slow mode option has been added (simply connect L* to UP2 or DOWN1 via SPDT switch).
Optional CV mixer/processor has been added (untested!).

Connectors have been moved to the edge of the board to allow connecting component pcbs via pin headers - downside: space may be too tight to use normal headers. Workaround: use (breakable) precision sockets for manual wiring or testing.

pcb size: 6" x 3.4"
