90s Modular Synthesizer: Analogue Systems RS-8000 Sequence #Shorts

video by Elliott Liu

"Analogue Systems started in 1995 with Bob Williams starting production of a modular system. Unaware at the time, it was similar in size and power specification to the now standard Eurorack format.

Here I'm MIDI sequencing a 3 voices independently and controlling the balance of each of them."

Short one, but you don't see demos of the RS8000 often. Analogue Systems was part of the birth of the modular resurgance back when only a handful of manufacturers existed. AS and Doepfer were the first to produce 3U modules, although with different power schemes. Doepfer eventually became the standard and the eurorack format as we know it today was born.

Doboz TSNM - Touch Sensing Note Memory MKII Eurorack Module

"Touch Sensing Note Memory MKII is the second incarnation of TSNM in Eurorack format. Transposition plates have been replaced by illuminated pushbuttons, thereby freeing up some space for two more note plates. The module does not require external 5V power source anymore, and the footprint for the MPR121 breakout board now accepts the ones made by Adafruit also. The panel got narrower by 2hp, now comes with matte black finish and gold plated holes over the LED display for better visibility.

Firmware v4.0 introduces some new features:
– new internal structure (keyboard > arp > sequencer > quantiser > portamento > vibrato)
– internal clock
– individual clock multiplication/division for arp and sequencer
– pressure controlled transposition
– improved arpeggiator algorithm
– rhythm sequencer for arpeggiator
– gate types per step (ratcheting) for note sequencer
– new and improved recording mode for note sequencer with overdubbing
– pressure output can act like a proper AD, ASR or looping AD envelope generator
– internal modulation options for various parameters of envelope generator
– a second voltage sequencer available at pressure output
– 8 user editable scales for quantiser
– portamento (gliding) shapes
– vibrato with pressure controlled depth and 4 waveforms
– 2 note polyphony (please keep in mind that the pressure CV output has only 12-bit resolution, don’t expect the same precision as for the note CV output)

TSNM is a performance oriented monophonic keyboard controller featuring 12 note plates (tuneable over 6 octaves) and two transposition buttons (variable transposition distance from -36 to +36 semitones). Highly accurate pitch (V/oct) output is guaranteed by a precision 16-bit DAC. Pressure sensing capability of note plates gives maximum human control through the dedicated CV output. On-board arpeggiator, sequencer, quantiser (with user editable scales), pressure CV recorder, envelope generator, random voltage generator, slew limiter, vibrato. The module can save 17 presets including keyboard layout, sequence and all the options under settings."

Mutable Instruments Beads ‘texture synthesiser’ // ULTIMATE GUIDE to Clouds v2!

video by DivKidVideo

"Welcome to my ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEADS a Eurorack module from Mutable Instruments. In this video I’ll be taking you through all the settings and controls with technical run downs, raw sounds and LOTS of musical patches and applications. I always aim to pack demos full of ideas and use cases both technically and musically so I hope you enjoy the video and learn a few things.

My Beads Patch Cookbook outlining every patch in this video in detail is exclusively available for Patreon supporters. Head to https://www.patreon.com/divkid to get a copy.

Beads is the follow up to the discontinued Clouds module from Mutable Instruments. It’s labelled as a ‘texture synthesiser’ and it’s core function is real time granular synthesis. It can also be a delay, media emulator (tape), beat slicer, pitch shifter and it has a built in reverb. When you’re not processing external sounds or frozen sounds you’ve locked into the audio buffer it will load wavetables giving you a bonus wavetable oscillator that still goes through the granular processing and reverb. Compared to Clouds it’s far higher quality, has more features, better control layout with no menus and less button press/hold functions."

iPhilicorda - Vintage Organ for iOS & Mac

video by Fingerlab

"iPhilicorda is an emulation of a vintage organ from the sixties, the Philicorda, created by the Dutch company Philips.
If you search a warm and precise organ sound, iPhilicorda is for you.
By using the 3 octave registers and the 5 Vox sound, you will be able to create a wide palette of sounds.
Plus, the embedded spring reverb and vibrato will brings depth and character to your songs.

At Fingerlab, we used Philicorda since now 15 years in our musics, and we always had this dream of make an app with it, to be able to do music tour with a simple iOS device rather than with a nice but bulky organ.
So we recreated faithfully the original Philicorda sounds, and created a nice and graphic interface so you can get the same feelings than with a real Philicorda organ.
We also added so new features that expand possibilities, such as AudioUnit, ADSR envelope editor, 4 FXs and a Farfisa-like Bright mode.

iPhilicorda is an universal purchases, meaning once you bought it, you got it for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

In iPhilicorda free version, you will get only 3 factory presets and some features are locked (see * in features list).

Nord Lead 1 & Korg NTS1 Synth Pads (Are Nice!) - Nostalgia Waves - Ambient Music

video by ChrisLody

"This lazy Sunday ambient jam was inspired by a conversation I had with my wife Esme. During less challenging times she likes nothing more than to go to a Skegness arcade and play on the 2 penny coin push machines, something that I have to say I find pretty boring, normally. It occurred to me while we were talking that currently I'd absolutely love to do that, a day out like that would be amazing. It's moments of realisation like that that make me think just how much the world has changed and how it's kind of crept up on me.

The MiniDisc recording therefore is taken from one of those trips to Skegness and was recorded on a crowded beach full of families and children during the an unseasonably warm summers day. I've got quite a lot of these recordings from the era when MiniDisc (A Sony MZ-N710) was still one of the best portable recording options, and the sounds from them always take me right back to when they were recorded with a strong sense of nostalgia. Possibly because I'm anosmic (google it) I think sound is a stronger trigger for memory than for you 'normals' ;)

The Nord Lead (revised original model with 12 voices and memory card slot) and Korg NTS-1 pairing is something I've been meaning to try for a while and I think it's fair to say they are a good match. The Nord Lead has no effects built in, the NTS-1 has the best effects built in! I'm running it through the Space reverb and some Tape Delay with additional reverb added to the Nord and MiniDisc with my Zoom 1201 set to Ambience 8. I did consider adding another layer, but I like the way it's allowed to breath so I left it alone like this."

Moog - Micromoog improv - mostly drones.

video by Tim Mantle / Psalm37patches

"Sorry bout the aspect ratio, I get confused between Instagram and YouTube.
Nothing was planned in this improv, just messing around with this amazing piece of kit. I've had so many synths over the years, old and new. This one is a keeper, it can be brutal and it can be smooth."
