Reaktor 5: Morphing Effects as Sound Generators using Feedback Matrix

YouTube via Veqtor
"Here's something I've been playing around with recently: using effects in feedback matrices and morphing between presets. I got the idea when playing around with frequency shifted feedback in a Serge modular system. So I created a crude macro that let's you morph between the presets, but intend to improve upon it before releasing it (morphing speed modulation, snapshot lists etc). A lot of effects in Reaktor unfortunatly use non-interpolating parameters, like switches (which is good for saving cpu), thus creating clicks when morphing. I will be creating a set of effects intended for morphing like this which are completely designed for morphing (complete with polarizing mod matrices and such). In this particular setup, grainstates fx, a stereo frequency shifter with a wide range and crossfade between up and down-shift, a spacemaster reverb and an analogic filter box are being mixed using a matrix mixer. This allows for any output to be sent to any input. All of the effects are morphing randomly between presets and so is the matrix mixer. Works quite well as a proof of concept if you ask me!"

ARP Odyssey analogue synthesiser - lead sound with FM

YouTube via buchla300
"ARP Odyssey - A simple lead sound but using the s/h mixer to modulate VCO2 with itself. Also shows the ring modulator and FM of the filter with VCO 2
The odyssey is a superb little synth. In my opinion underrated compared to the Minimoog
It has quite a few functions that are missing on the Minimoog (S&H, Ring Mod, PWM, Duophonic, LFO trigger of the envelopes, initial gain, Hi Pass filter, VCO Sync etc) and is certainly well worth the money they go for. Usually my first suggestion for people looking for a decent analogue synthesizer.
Mine is pretty rare as it has a factory fitted second filter which is superb. It can do lopass, lopass 4 pole, notch, bandpass and vc high pass as well as the inbuilt hipass.
Quite a few different versions of these but I think they all sound good."

Le Plat Pays / Brel / Theremin

YouTube via copperleaves
"This is Belgian singer/songwriter Jacques Brel's anthem about his country. He originally wrote the song in French but recorded it in both French and Dutch. Brel was one of the first popular singers to use the instrument known as the "ondes martenot" in his songs and it was an important part of the special feeling of this song. I do not play the ondes so I have used its sister instrument, the theremin, instead. I first heard this song in the summer of 1963 and fell in love with it. For me, Brel has been an inspiration ever since."

Airbourne AVS04 Modular Synthesizer (FPGA based) Part 1/2

YouTube via Moogulator

"small overview. it's still a prototype but all working. it's 4 voice polyphonic in concept, more see the synth database www.sequencer.de (data)

hardware: fpga inside, a lot of work, all hand made. Martin Hollinger is the man who did it (synthorama synth museum, switzerland). great work."
