North Coast Synthesis - MSK 013 Middle Path VCO


SchneidersLaden

"We were asked several times if we could shoot a video for this module, now it's ready - our video for the Middle Path VCO. We combined this excellent VCO with the Leapfrog Filter and a Natural Gate - to get some classic lowpass gate sounds from this massive dual VCO.

North Coast's complex VCO is comfortable on a journey to the East or the West. It contains two triangle-core VCOs, each with four waveforms and standard V/octave control.

As basic VCOs running independently these can be the heart of a traditional subtractive East Coast synthesizer. But the Middle Path's oscillators can also be used together, with or without sync, to drive its unique multi-output Gilbert-style sine shaper. The shaper, which can also take external input, offers wave shaping, distortion, folding, phase modulation including through-zero, and imitation stereo. These effects take the sound into West Coast territory.

A very nice complex/dual VCO with a massive sound and very solid build quality."

Moog Semi-Modular Synthesizers: Interconnectivity IV


Moog Music Inc

"Six instruments from the Moog semi-modular family of analog synthesizers (Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32, 2x DFAM, and Subharmonicon) connect together showing their strength as an interconnected system.

In this patch, Subharmonicon serves as a master clock, distributing sync signals to the Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32, and two DFAMs. The patch begins with the Subharmonicon playing a slow-moving chord progression, processed through Grandmother’s spring reverb. The first DFAM plays a dynamic high hat pattern, while the second DFAM provides a kick and snare to anchor the composition. Mother-32 generates a straightforward bass line, while its assignable output randomly controls the depth of envelope modulation routed to its filter. Matriarch provides a pad to fill in the mix, with a touch of vibrato from the modulation section, as well as some analog delay. Finally, Grandmother rounds things out with a simple counter melody to tie the composition together."

Modal COBALT8 MPE noodle


Molten Music Technology

"Testing out the MPE functionality of the Modal Electronics COBALT8. I'll do a proper video on it soon but for now, here's a patch I setup for MPE and a bit of messing about to give you an idea of what it can do.

Slide (forwards/backwards) was mapped to the filter cutoff and Pressure was mapped to the spread on the 2nd algorithm and brings in intervals and octaves."

Cobalt8 - 8 Voice Synthesizer - Full Sonic LAB Review


sonicstate

"For patches and extra video- see our Patreon: https://patreon.com/sonicstate

First thing you notice about the Modal Electronics Cobalt8 is that it's very photogenic, a lovely shade of blue. That and the striking similarity between it and the Argon8 with which it shares the DSP driven 8 voice polyphony, voice spread feature (8 Osc per voice), three effects slots and other common elements such as the sequencer and arpeggiator. It also features the signature Modal Electronics joystick found on the Argon8 and it's other, older high end synths.

We take a longer, more detailed look at the new poly.

Korg SQ-64 Sequencer - first play & review w/ Molten Music Technology


Molten Music Technology

"Here's my first jam on the Korg SQ-64 sequencer. No manuals were opened or tutorials viewed I just got stuck in and made a sequence into my Eurorack. Dead easy to use with some very interesting and playful performance options under the Shift button. This is going to be good! Full review coming soon."
