"The Folktek Conduit is a symbiotic touch-based drone synthesizer based on a delay which then travels to a filter. Creating swells of oscillation that can delve into eternal noisy feedback territory as one desires. Connect to a sequencer to control the time/pitch and pull forth some powerful synthesis. The touch panel is also a CV keyboard, generating 0-5v in .5v increments.
Discontinued and Rare. Comes with Original Folktek Booklet, and Power Adapter.
Local Pick Up. No Returns.
Features:
Touch pads; 8 polyphonic notes + noise + pitch: all sensitive to touch. These are synchronous with the delay, meaning delay time = oscillator pitch. All notes are tuned with one another so the pitch is a master control.
Oscillation and/or incoming audio sent through on-board filter: for further manipulation.
"What is the best mixer for live hardware based electronic music performances? Do I need preamps if I am only using synthesizers and drum machines? Can I use the WMD Performance Mixer with synths instead of eurorack modules? Do I need to have Eurorack modules to use the WMD Performance Mixer?
If you are asking yourself these questions, take a few minutes and check out this video!
The WMD Performance Mixer is an 8 channel Mixer for the Eurorack modular synthesizer format. It includes two auxiliary sends, a master insert section, six Mono channels and two true stereo channels. In addition to being the end all solution to mixing audio in the eurorack system, it works wonderfully with hardware instruments such as synthesizers and guitar pedals.
In this video Alex answers the question above and works through mixing four different hardware sound sources, the Roland TR-8 and JU-06, the Arturia Microbrute, as well as a vocal channel using two guitar effects pedals to create an interesting loop of sonic textures.
Alex also uses both auxiliary send and return channels with guitar pedals for external effects. The Zoom MS-70CDR and the WMD Geiger Counter help fill out the mix and make the sound more unique with some pretty traditional sound sources.
808s, 909s, Juno 106, Polysix, they all work awesome with the Performance Mixer.
The Performance Mixer is great for mixing both Eurorack and Non-Eurorack signals together so you can use what you have currently to make the music you love."
"We headed over to Berlin to chat to Rebekah, a techno DJ and producer originally hailing from Birmingham, UK. Having a music career that stems over 20 years, we wanted to find out a little more about her production techniques, how she recovers from creative blocks and how Peak now fits into her setup.
"Sound design experiments using the Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus built in oscillators and dual 8 bit delays as the only sound source.
The purpose of “TEST SERIES” is to focus on the sound design possibilities of various gear combinations. This series is not musical nor does it serve as an instructional video. It is all about sound potential.

"Notes in CC. Get patch file and support me - https://www.patreon.com/vcvrackideas
At this time I use only Mutable Instruments modules (Audible instruments in VCV Rack) to make this patch from scratch! Only one instance of module per patch!
I got some meditative ambient result in the end. Mutables have some mystic character especially when they make a gathering...hope you will like it! And please don't forget turn on Youtube subtitles to see the patch notes.

"In this first of a two-part series on the Serge Random Source Variable Slope Voltage Controlled Filter, we build the module from the ground up. If you are interested in building this module as a DIY kit rather than purchasing it pre-built, then this is the video for you. We go through the entire build process, discussing soldering techniques, showing general tips and tricks, as well as aspects of this specific module. We get into testing the module, using oscilloscopes, function generators, and bench power supplies, and even what to do when something goes wrong.
If you want to hear the module in action and have a tutorial on how it works, then watch part two:

The Serge Random Source Variable Slope VCF Part 2 - Listening | Tutorial
Published on Jan 18, 2019 Under the Big Tree
"In this second of a two-part series on the Serge Random Source Variable Slope Voltage Controlled Filter, we listen to the fruits of our labors. We put a sawtooth wave and some white noise into the audio inputs, add some control voltages, and magic ensues! We go through every knob on the unit in detail, listening to the lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filter outputs.
By the time we are done, you may very well put this fantastic-sounding Eurorack module on your short list. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"Hi Folks.
I have a new movie from Primary Oscillator from Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers.
This time it's the quieter side of this oscillator with the sequencer used to pick up and lower the melodies.
The amazing structure allows you to get very harmonic sounds, also timbre are important for sound, it allows you to discover a new music region using Fragments, Timbre, Shape or a special function called Blade. Incredible effects especially on low key tones. With this VCO, they become very organic and rounded by using these functions. Check it out yourself, for me it's a great, very powerful VCO for new sounds."
