Exploring Modular Synths 9 - Explanation of Patch and Performance of Modular Expeditions 22

Published on Jul 8, 2016

"This video explains a somewhat involved patch used in the piece "Modular Expeditions 22" which is available as a separate video without explanation and with better audio quality. If you haven't seen that, you can go watch that first. In this video, after the explanation of the patch, the piece is played through as a shorter version than the other video. This piece is built around a sequence in the Rene that goes out to the Dixie, the Intellijel Shapeshifter, and Braids. Drums from the Ladik Twin Drums module and hi-hats from noise from a Mother 32 accompany. The piece begins and ends with pads from Pressure Points into two Wiard Anti-oscillators and into a 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator complement the piece, played into Clouds. Echophon is used for some DJ-like wiggling effects at times."

1980 KORG TRIDENT MK I SN 330047

via this auction

"This example, serial number 330047 has been fully serviced and is entirely studio-ready. It is currently missing the joytstick top, however, it is otherwise complete. Quite rare, this is a fantastic sounding synth. The Trident is a polyphonic and programmable keyboard with three independent sections - Synthesizer, Brass, and Strings. It features 8 voices of polyphony and two of the instrument sections can be played simultaneously while in Split Keyboard mode.

Each section has its own unique VCO voice architecture, VCF (filter) types, and LFO capabilities. The Brass section's VCF and Envelope Generators are virtually the same as the Synthesizer section, allowing the Brass section to be used for generating additional synth-y sounds as well as faux-brass sounds. The String section has some unique features as well such as a "Bowing" effect. Another unique effect included is a global flanger that can self-oscillate! Flanger controls include Speed, Feedback, Intensity and Manual.

The Trident also features 16 user memory patches. In addition there are three preset memory patches for Piano 1, Piano 2 and Clavi. There is no way of externally playing the Trident with MIDI or CV/Gate without modifications (CV/Gate only controls expression and filter parameters). But the CV/Gate inputs are discrete for each of the three sections. There are also discrete mono outputs for each section and a mix output."

Polivoks LFO MOD

Published on Jul 8, 2016 The Outsider

"The Polivoks is hands down my favorite analog monosynth, even with its eccentricities and laughably horrible keyboard. One of the things that I thought really needed improvement was the LFO, specifically the LFO speed. As you'll see in the video, even at minimum the speed is quite fast. Thanks to my friend Egor, I was able to slow it down considerably by swapping out capacitor 7 on the LFO board with a higher value component. From the factory, C7 is 10uf. I tried out a 100uf cap and got the results shown in the video. Ideally, I should replace the LFO pot as well, as the right combination would give very slow minimum and very fast maximum LFO speeds, but I don't really feel like spending a ton of time trial & error parts matching... This quick fix is good enough for now."
