MakeNoise MMG x 2 | Dual Multi-Mode Gate

video by Cinematic Laboratory

Update: the Arturia labeled Beatstep Pro turns into Behringer label Beatstep Pro at 2:34. Screengrabs below. Thanks to anonymous in the comments!

"In this session I powered up my 'Shared Museum' for some mindless jamming. I am still missing a QMMG (who doesn't), but I recently got a second MMG which forms a DMMG (dual multimode gate) so I wanted to try and use some stereo filter sweeps and a percussive patch full of vactrol strikes. Optomix and Moddemix can handle the VCA/LPG modes and it's pretty obvious this combo has been a better choice compared to the four LPG's/VCA's of the QMMG (because they're standard issue in the Shared System). However, they can't do the self oscillating feedback that gives the QMMG that unique raw squelch. This is where the MMG comes in. MMG can be seen as one full QMMG channel but with lots of extra knobs, CV control and three vactrols for mode, frequency and resonance (Q), including two strike inputs for frequency and resonance."

How to connect a modular synth to your body with the ADDAC 303 Muscle Sensing Module

video by Bertolt Meyer

"The ADDAC303 Muscle Sensing module brings EMG muscle sensing to the eurorack format. It allows you to control a modular synthesizer with muscle signals that the module picks up with medical electrodes that you can stick to any muscle. I used two of those in my last generative ambient piece [posted here]. I felt that the module doesn't get enough love on YT, so I followed up with an introduction to this quirky module. I explain the overall principle, the best way for electrode placement, and the optimal settings for getting a clean signal."

Runningonair - Lunar Lander (Music Video)

video by Runningonair

"Like many people of my generation, I grew up in a world where I genuinely thought the moon would be inhabited and it would be possible for anyone to visit by now. This has proved to be a complete pipe dream, but one which I can’t completely give up on. When I found these videos online, it rekindled my optimism, and I felt the need to set them to music. In a world that seems to be increasingly saturated by stupidity and greed, I hope we continue to find room to appreciate imagination and ingenuity.
