Glasgow Make Some Noise! Introduces The Pure Modular Concept Desktop Eurorack System
This in via GMSN!: "I'm writing from Glasgow Make Some Noise! a small company based in Glasgow UK. We have just released the pure modular - a sleek modular system with a focus on understanding sound synthesis. We've stripped back the bells and whistles so this is a great product for those looking to understand modular systems. The Pure Modular is available as a boxed unit or as separate modules. We hand make everything from the panels to the box in our Glasgow studio. (except the pcbs!)"
"The idea behind the GMSN! Pure Modular is to provide beginners with the fundamental building blocks of modular synthesis. There are loads of modules on the market today with a whole host of functionality packed into a very small space, which are really cool, however it makes it difficult to understand what is actually happening underneath. It’s easy to purchase a modular rig and end up twiddling knobs, but without a solid foundation it’s impossible to progress to deeper patch strategies. Each module in the range performs a simple function, either sound source, filter, volume shaper, etc. This makes it very easy to learn the principles of subtractive synthesis and also provides extremely powerful tools to explore non-traditional forms of music and sound design."

VCF Low-Pass Filter Shootout - Korg Minilogue, DSI Mopho, Korg DSS-1
Published on Jul 2, 2016 CarillonAudioVid
"I wanted to get a slightly more scientific view of how the filters are compare on my three hardware analog synths.
I ran my Korg DSS-1 through its own filter first, then through the filter in the Korg Minilogue and then the Dave Smith Mopho.
Just by looking at the 3 tracks you can see how they compare.
For each filter I did a sweep. Durin the first few seconds you see a screenshot of all the clips. No EQ or volume correction has been added. Clips 1-4 for each track are sweeps at 0% resonance, 50% resonance, 75% resonance, and 100% resonance of the 24dB filter. Clip 5-8 for each track are sweeps at 0% resonance, 50% resonance, 75% resonance, and 100% resonance of the 12dB filter. You can see how some filters make the signal quieter, while others make the signal louder.
0:07 is the raw sound
0:12 Korg DSS-1 24dB filter sweeps
1:04 Korg DSS-1 12dB filter sweeps
2:01 Korg Minilogue 24dB filter sweeps
2:52 Korg Minilogue 12dB filter sweeps
3:49 Dave Smith 24dB filter sweeps
4:39 Dave Smith 12dB filter sweeps
My take is that the filters all have different qualities that make them unique. The DSS-1 isn't as resonant as the others and it gets quieter when the filter is applied, even with max resonance. The Minilogue gets a little bit dirty, doesn't seem to sweep as low in frequency, has less bass to it than others and the 12dB filter signal is a little "hotter" than the 24dB filter. The Mopho adds volume when in 24dB mode and the resonance is up, which is unlike the other two. It's resonance sweeps super low and is slightly more bass heavy. Watch the peak of the spectrum as it sweeps during the 24dB 100 resonance sweep. At 4:27 the peak is about +6dB, but it increases as it gets lower in frequency. At 4:32 it is about +18db, so it resonates more at low frequencies and is not quite linear across the spectrum. The Mopho 12dB filter has less character though.
Basically 12dB Minilogue is my favorite "dirty" sound, the DSS-1 12dB is my favorite "clean" filter for pads and mid-range sounds, 24dB Mopho is my favorite for bass type sounds."
