Part 1 here

"Hello there!
Back on the 296t with part 2 of the basic overview. It's hard to call this one basic as it's pretty damn crazy, but I'm going to show you what kind of stuff can done with the envelope follower part of the module. Brace yourself, let's dive into spectral madness. Have fun!"

Make Noise Function demo

video upload by Stazma

"Today I'll show some (there's more!) things the Function can do. It can do like it's half a Maths even if it is a bit less... it's also a bit more. I had one a while back and took the plunge on that superb looking new black panel version. First because I had some space for it in my Make Noise system and also because you can always use another function generator in a modular system., especialy when it is as flexible as this one.

So I'll show you around some of the MANY things this module can do, and also show you some "advanced pro tips" with it. You can try all these patch with your own function generator if you don't have this one.

Have fun!"

Volume & Panning | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by

"Episode 7 for Schlappy Patching!
Today we talk volume. Might seem boring but changing the volume of a sound over time result in dynamic, and it is actualy quite awesome! Also if you can change the level of something on one side of the stereo field, you get "panning" effect, without the need of a pan pot on a stereo mixer (you need two VCAs instead). Anyway we'll explore things volume related, using a drum mahcine and some sounds generated by the Three Body, mostly using Nibbler for stepped modulations.

Have fun watching!"

Befaco Pony VCF Demo

video upload by Stazma

"Today I'll show you some fun patches with the new, small HP, all analog VFC by Befaco: the Pony VCF Don't be fooled by it's size, this little thing is a strong sounding 24dB/oct lowpass filter, but also a 3 channels mixer and VCA.
Great at both clean and dirty things."

Befaco's Octaves VCO Demo

"It's a very playful and 'retro' sounding oscillator in the sens that it's only square waves, so it will scream chiptune anthem instantly.

Have fun!"

Talking Filters | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 6 for Schlappy Patching!
Do you know how to make filters talk? It’s fun and one of my favorite patches to do with modular synthesizer, because of the amount of control you can have on the talking.

In this new episode of Schlappy Patching I’ll give it a go with the 100 Grit and Angle Grinder, the two filters of the Schlappi Engineering echo system.

Do you have a favorite talking filter?
Have fun watching!"

Noodling on homemade eurorack polysynth

video upload by Stazma

"Here is a full video from a short improvisation I had on a first iteration of a four voice polyphonic patch built around the Vostok Instruments modules, with some help from the 810 Mk2 from System80 and a Fusion Modulator from Erica Synth.
Mostly playing with the arpeggiator speed and pitchbend here tho."

Nibbler Bassline | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 5 for Schlappy Patching!
In this one I'm going to show you how to use the "clock divider" patch from the Nibbler manual, but at audio rate, to generate some funky basslines that are always in tune with your main VCO!
I'm also going to patch a big fat kick drum and a sidechain circuit using Interstellar Radio, 100 Grit and a few Boundary to go with these basslines.


It's going to be fun!"

Home Made Intellijel Cascadia

video upload by Stazma

"Today I'm going to talk to you about my Intellijel system. It's been with me for a loooong time this one. I don't change it much because I find it very well laid out and powerfull as it is. When the Cascadia came out it gave a GAS crisis but I realized I had somewhat of the same thing in an interface I designed myself with this set of modules.
This is why I'm going to show you it can be a Roland SH-101 as well as a Buchla 'Music Easel' (actually more a 208 'Stored Program Sound Source" module).
It's also kind of a love letter to Intellijel in general for being awesome. No sponsor of any kind here as I bought all the Intellijel modules and case myself and they did not asked me to a video on this either.

Have fun watching!"

Schlappi LowPass Gate | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 4 for Schlappy Patching!
In this one I'm going to explain to you what a Low Pass Gate is with a little bit of history and show how we can sort of fake one using Schlappi Engineering modules. We'ill talk about the Tiptop Audio & Buchla 292t for reference and we will also use the Make Noise LxD to guide us in our experiments. It's going to be fun!

"Today let's have some fun with the monster module that is the CUNSA by the Frap Tools.
It's a multi mode filter module, with four independant VCF core with addional VCA & EG per channel and a mixer to get it all going nicely.

Have fun!"

"Episode 3 for Schlappy Patching!
I just got a new 6U, 98HP case to make a proper Schlappi System (with some additional modules from other brands) and this is the celebration of that, my very patch on it, a first dialog with the 'machine'.
Not the most musical but quite a fun journey."

Quad Multimode Filter & Morphing Scanner Bank // Atlas by Vostok Instruments

video upload by DivKid

"I really love the approach of Vostok Instruments where they’re building out modules that not only sound great, but that offer multiple channels of the same functions. In modular you often need more, and not particularly more variety, but more of the same functions to push creativity and deeper levels of patching.

Atlas is a set of 4 multimode filters (low pass, high pass, band pass), with clever normalisations, dual modulation inputs per channel, a ‘classic synths of Japan in the 80s’ inspired sound PLUS you get an interpolating scanner bank that will morph between the four filter outputs. It’s an impressive thing that’s been a delight to play and patch with.

As always I hope the video provides you patches to explore Atlas and other filters and functions in your own systems."

Update: new video from Stazma:

Atlas Eurorack Module Demo | Gear Talk w/ Vostok Instruments

18:14 Drum machine patch
21:34 End talk



Mini press release follows:

"Atlas is the latest addition to our range of multi-channel modules, a fully analog, four-channel multimode filter.

The cores are a modern approach to the gain-cell-based filters included in many of the classic Japanese synths of the 80s, with a vastly improved dynamic range, a super-accurate resonance compensation circuit, and a clean self-oscillation. It is perfect for recreating iconic TR-drum sounds by pinging the filters with fast envelopes or triggers.

In addition to the four filters, the module counts with a dedicated Interpolating Scanning Circuit that morphs between all the filter outputs to create new shapes and timbres."

User Manual

Additional details via Vostok Instruments:

When we talk about the sound signature of synths, filters are probably one of the first topics appearing.

On Atlas, we dive into the sound of the 80s Japanese classics with four gain-cell-based multimode filters that keep the silky and creamy sound of those legendary machines along with some technical improvements like a better noise floor, an accurate resonance compensation, and a daisy-chain input implementation that makes some patching techniques like parallel filtering a lot easier.

The filter cores have been carefully designed and tweaked to be pristine without losing character. With three filter modes available per channel, 4p-LP, 2p-HP, and 4p-BP, Atlas can cover almost any filtering technique, from superb filter sweeps to multi-slope resonant patches.

Thanks to its precise resonance circuit, each core creates a clean sine wave when self-oscillating. Excite the inputs with fast trigger or gate signals, and you will get TR-like drum sounds, from deep kickdrums to nice toms and congas.

In addition, the module counts with a CV-controlled Interpolating Scanner circuit that morphs softly between each filter output, creating new shapes and timbres as it fades between the channels.

Features
Four analog multimode, gain-cell-based VCF circuits.
Three modes per channel: 4p-LP, 2p-HP, and 4p-BP.
Resonance compensation circuit.
Daisy-chained audio and Freq inputs.
Secondary CV input, selectable between Frequency or Resonance.
CV-controlled Interpolating Scanner circuit.

FX Boy eurorack demo | Befaco in Stazma's Gear Talk

video upload by Stazma

"Today i'll be showing you one of the most crazy eurorack module made last year: FX Boy by Befaco.
I'll be using it as an extension of the Doepfer Basic System 3, with it's little friend Voltio on as a sidekick, and I'll process EVERYTHING throught it, in order to create materials to then organise a little session in Ableton Live.

Have fun!"
