"Here's a lovely trio of wave folding oscillators from Instruo. I have 2 of the new Ts-L 6HP feature packed oscillators and the softer (in terms of it's wave folder sound) Tona. These are great analogue oscillator designs which I'll be covering in their own more in depth videos coming soon. I'm also using the Harmonaig to keep things musical, in key and generating harmonies based on a single sequence coming in."
"The Muta Jovis from Noise Engineering is a simple 4HP utility module for modular synths, with 4 switches that connects inputs to the outputs, giving you the ability to mute 4 channels individually.
The inputs are circularly normalled so a single input can be sent (and muted) to up to four outputs. This module is designed for gates and CV.
You can also use it in passive mode, so without power it works the same, but no LEDs will illuminate.
Soleo Vero demo: Visual strobe tuner for modular synth performances
Published on May 29, 2018
"Soleo Vero is a 3-input strobe tuner packed into 4HP, allowing you to visually tune up to 3 oscillators. Yes, you can tune without having to listen! It only takes a few seconds and can be a life saver during a live gig.

"Last jams of 2017. This is a case I use for deep testing of prototypes and checking out other brands' kit. Oh, and making music :)
"Get ready for the most powerfull & fat analog sounds you ever heard on Korg Minilogue!
Powerfull basses,leads, modular sequences, lush strings & pads, groovy
arpegios & more.
70 inspired sounds made by Nick Klimenko.
For almost every sound - we created a sequence,so push play button!
Also we had programmed unusual modulation with slider to show extended Minilogue possobilities.
"Welcome back to another tutorial, this time for the Mother 32!
In this video, we use the M32's onboard LFO to generate swing, followed by modulating the sequencer's tempo to get interesting rhythms. Combined with other modulation and the step sequencing of the M32, you can add some great evolving rhythmic variation to your sequence to keep it interesting for longer."
"after some requests regarding the Deckard clone, i've made that short video where i'm testing reactions of Global Sustain 1/2 compared to user presets release
pretty interesting, as it shows:
- when adding global sustain, it adds on both vcf/vca
- sustain 1/2 switch is functionning when you add release on your user preset
- release is a bit longer when using the one on user presets (than global release)
i've been using that instrument for 20 years, i'm still amazed by its sound and expressiveness
Ribbon is active on all notes in sustain 2 mode, only on played (not released) notes in sustain mode 1"
"Jonas Rathsman is an integral part of Sweden's house and techno scene. He’s been releasing music since 2013 when he debuted on French Express. He hasn’t stopped since, with releases on Diynamic, Crosstown Rebels, Mobilee and his own ELEMENTS imprint.
Having spent nearly all his life around Sweden's second city, Gothenburg, Rathsman decided to build his own studio complex in an abandoned chemistry lab. Obviously, we jumped at the chance to have a full tour."
'Swiss company WaveLicker (http://www.wavelicker.com) designed Thereminator specially for interfacing a theremin to synthesizers. It is a eurorack module that takes the control voltage signal of the theremin’s antennas and convert it into 3 gate and 3 trigger signals. Up to three different tresholds points can be edited and stored. This is great, because you can adjust the distance (= where in space the trig happens) without changing your theremin playing settings.
You can patch it with the pitch or with the volume antenna CV. In this video, i used the volume antenna only because i find it easier to get a musical application with it.
Alain Gillièron - the boss of WaveLicker - created Thereminator on my request. He made an external gate for my theremin about a year ago. It boosted my creativity and totally changed my solo theremin performance : i am not using any playback nor computer device on stage anymore. I can play synth and my theremin simulteanously.
So, we decided to improve this device and develop a eurorack module, so that other people can have access to this "augmented" theremin playing.
I am totally addicted to this module! I am very thankful to Alain Gillièron, all the energy and time he dedicated to this project.
I've been testing the prototype for a 3 months and I made 5 patch to show different ideas.
00:51 Patch#1 - drums playing
01:08 Patch#2 - shoot & freeze sample
01:43 Patch#3 - it rings
03:23 Patch#4 - step by step
04:20 Patch#5 - percussive ADSR
Thereminator is pretty simple to use. A calibration is requested before using it, to assure full compatibility with your theremin. After that, it is just a matter of pratice : theremin playing is very subtle and sensitive, so using Thereminator accurately also require some training.
