Cicadas: Nature's Clock Divider?

video by MAKEN0ISE

"As we emerge into the world this spring, so will a gigantic brood of cicadas - for the first time in 17 years. They might even be able to... give us some patch ideas?

Cosmic noise & retro heterodyne: Interstellar Radio

video by Richard DeHove

"If you ever played around with shortwave radio noise as a kid then this is your grownup noise evolution. Schlappi Engineering's 'Interstellar Radio' module wants you to endlessly twiddle and wiggle and enjoy the lack of melody and float away in the squeals and static. With all the controls normalled to produce sound on their own this is also a great module for a small system or someone starting out in Eurorack (assuming you like noise).

Here I go through the basic controls, how to understand a little of what you're doing, and then indulge in lots of wiggling.

AE Modular VACTROL PHASER Audio Demo (no talking) #TTNM

video by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"The tangible waves AE Modular Vactrol Phaser module is an analog phase shifting audio effect for your modular synthesizer. You can add positive or negative feedback, switch between 4 or 8 stages and add internal LFO modulation. Of course external CV modulation is possible too and you get several outputs for the wet signal and individual stages.

Timecodes:
0:00 Square VCO Input
1:49 WAVETABLES Input
2:41 DRONE38 Input
3:50 RBSS Pings

VL synthesis: Can we have it back, please? (Yamaha EX5)

video by Floyd Steinberg

Novation Peak demo after 2:15.

"A short description of what VL / digital waveguide synthesis is, and a look at Yamahas implementation in the EX5 workstation, and a demo using only VL sounds using expressive controllers like an EWI and a MIDI guitar pickup, helped bei the MPC One's autosampler.

Table of contents:

00:00 hello
00:38 very short demo
00:59 brief history of digital waveguide synthesis
01:49 how it works
02:20 short, overly simplified demo of the principle using a delay effect and a filter
03:03 creating a VL patch on the Yamaha EX5: reed
03:30 selecting a model (and some sound demos)
04:17 adjusting the model to our needs
04:50 mapping controls to the VL model (volume, pressure, embouchure, scream, growl)
06:50 creating a concert guitar sound
07:49 using MPC One's autosampler to get polyphony
09:51 demo track using only VL instruments
12:13 bye-bye
