Moog Minitaur - Ambient Jam


Published on Aug 24, 2015 Joshua Buck Music

"Just me getting some nice sounds out of this 'limited' piece of analog gear - I was fed up with all of the demos showing how nasty/raw it can sound, so here we go. This was my first jam with it, and thought I'd share it.

Theres one pad sound, one bass and one lead. Added some analogue delay and digital reverb to give it that spacious sound."

Practicing Sequencing w/ Novation Circuit


Published on Feb 19, 2018 Fabbri's Midnight Librarians

Playlist:

1. Practicing Sequencing w/ Novation Circuit
Quick practice session. Sequencing a Moog Sub 37 and a Roland System 8 with a Novation Circuit, which also plays drums.
2. Ep 2: How to Sequence Synths with Novation Circuit & JAM
We go over how my gear is setup: Novation Circuit sequences a Roland System 8 and a Moog Sub 37.
We add a final sequence on the onboard System 8 sequencer and then record a final jam.
3. Song #3, "Talking" novation circuit, sub 37, system 8
In our third practice song we swap our analog delay for an MXR Bass Overdrive pedal, taking the output from the Sub 37. Circuit sequences Sub 37 and one of the two Roland System 8 patches. System 8 is in split "performance" mode, using onboard sequencer for upper half.

Watch me replace esq-1 data fader, loose mod wheel, and sticky key that doesn't sound properly.

Background music recorded from ESQ-1 after I fixed it. :-)

Numark PT01 Mini Scratch Turntable With Empress Echosystem and DFAM


Published on May 29, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In this video we used the Numark PT01 mini turntable with a few 7” records run through the Empress Effects Echosystem, the Moog DFAM is keeping a beat underneath the turntablism. The PT01 can play 12” or 7” records and has a built in scratch switch for cutting the sound in and out while scratching. We used a Hawaiian record and an Oren Ambarchi track for the sound sources. The Echosystem is a powerful stereo delay with 12 algorithms which each have multiple modes.

Sammich SID with 2 x SwinSID Installed

via this auction

"Sammich SID music sythesizer with 2 SwinSID chips installed. The chips has a jumper to select between MOS 6581 or Mos 8580.

I don't use arcrylic case anymore. They are soft and fragile, lots of scraches/marks overtime. That's why I am using a new design aluminum case. I've also added a fan next to the regulators. As you know the regulators generate lots of heat and the SID chip is right next to it and they are working at a very high temperature. The heat will damage the SID overtime and causing a broken filter, so a fan next to it will help releasing the heat from the regulator. The rack mount ears is optional. CNC pre-cut all sockets at the bottom of the case, you can remove them easily and plug all midi and audio sockets to the back. Add the rack mount ears and turn the unit to a rack mount unit. Optional rack mount ears will be extra $20 including all midi & ausio sockets for installation. I only have 10 sets of rack mount ears at the moment and they only comes in black."

Eurorack delayed envelope VSL D-ENV self-cycling looping feature demo


Published on May 29, 2018 Vintage Synthlab

1. Jump the GATE IN jack and D-G IN jack with a stackable.
2. Set the DELAY to maximum, and the HOLD to about 50%.
3. Use another cable plugged into the jumper at the D-G IN jack and momentarily connect to the INV OUT jack (this takes advantage of the INV OUT's resting or nominal +8V for a positive trigger feed into the D-G IN jack which in turn feeds the DELAY timer a signal to start the timing process.
4. In less than one second after initially connecting the INV OUT to the trigger cable, move it over to the D-G OUT jack before the HOLD L.E.D. goes out. If you connect before then, you should have a self-cycling D-ENV!

The above procedure is safe to perform on the D-ENV module. Any deviation from this method, including different voltages, different systems, or modifications are not recommended by VSL.

Abecedarians in the Studio w/ a Moog Modular


I picked up Abecedarians reissue of Eureka on vinyl and look at what was inside. The album was released back in 1986.

I'm curious if the image was taken at the recording studio or their own studio as their music isn't really synth heavy (see below). If anyone knows feel free to comment.
