Ornament & Crime (O_C) | Episode 01 | CopierMaschine

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Here's episode 01 of my new O_C/Hemisphere series. I suspect there will be a lot of episodes coming because this thing is deep. Please note I'll use this series myself to learn how to use it so I'll probably make stupid errors along the way - like spelling 'aeolian' wrong. In this episode I'll start with the CopierMaschine, a quantized sample & hold shift register using four shifted outputs. I hope you'll find it useful and inspiring."

Suiko ST-20 & Strymon BigSky // Dreamy Japanese Sound (short sound demo + jam)

video upload by Dexba

"I am always been fascinated by Asian instruments, and in fact, I even own and play an original koto.
So, when I found out these Suiko things existed, I immediately felt the need of owning one.
It came from Japan, it's vintage (seems like they where produced in small number during the 80s) and it sounds kinda awful without reverb, to be honest.
The koto sound is quite harsh, and it doesn't really sound like a real koto, since it has no polyphony, no way to 'prepare' the pitch bend, no velocity sensitivity, and the overall sound is quite poor.
Then there is the flute, quite a nice one, and a very screaming organ that gets annoying pretty soon.
But, as soon as you add a reverb, possibly a good one, you get back some sort of polyphony, you iron out the roughness, and even the limitations can become useful tools!
Enjoy! ✨"

Kinematic and Hydrasynth

video upload by ProckGnosis

"Just some playing around using one of the Hydrasynth's CV outputs to control the Kinematic's filter cutoff frequency, which in turn nicely warms up the oscillators of the Hydrasynth. IMO, the pedal and synth sound their absolute coolest on a mono patch with some compression, distortion, and filter cutoff control all nicely beefing up the Hydrasynth's core tone (as demoed after 17:00).

00:00 - Intro music and beer plug
01:44 - What's covered in the video and how it was set up
03:54 - Demoing CV control of the Kinematic filter cutoff
11:40 - Paraphonic polyphony and "drive" distortion
13:49 - Playing with the Kinematic's "Auto Wah" mode
16:15 - Switching on the compressor with distortion and filtering

The opening theme arrangement (in the quite dance-able time signature of 11/8) was composed with EVERYthing running through the Kinematic, including a track of the Arturia Drumbrute Impact and 4 or 5 tracks of the Hydrasynth."

Ritual Electronics Miasma: Testing diode variations on a drum-loop

video upload by cellrok

"With this module you get a few extra diodes and resistors to replace manually on the circuit board, without soldering. It changes the sound of the high-gain distortion and feedback. Sometimes subtle, somtimes extreme. Overall this module sounds great."

Custom Micromoog Synthesizer with Extra Oscillator in Moog Lyra Concept Housing

Curious how many of those cases exist.

You can find a mini Lyra in this post. The Lyra was part of the Constellation system which was to consist of the Lyra Solo Synthesizr, Apollo Polyphonic Synthesizer, and Taurus Bass Synthesizer. This case is rare.

Some notes from the listing:

"Hasn't been powered up in 20+ years.

Will require a thorough cleaning, calibration and repair (Broken 'Release' slide switch - see pics).

Additional MicroMoog Oscillator circuit is built on Vero Board.

Housing was purchased from Moog Music.

The Synth housing is an early Engineering design concept of the Moog Lyra

modified and adapted to house the MicroMoog main pc assembly,

extra MicroMoog Oscillator Circuit, Sonic VI [49 key] keyboard Subassembly and Power Supply."

Prism Circuits - Canvas System vs Pulsar 23

video upload by Prism Circuits

"Cross patching the Canvas System to the SOMA Pulsar 23 to get some deep modulation being sent from both units and routed to multiple destinations. Creating feedback is one of my favorite ways to use the Canvas System within the system itself and externally."

From the vault - Jupiter-8 song and patterns

video upload by SynthMania

"I found this old theme that I made in 2011 in my archives. This piece was all done with a Jupiter-8 (all parts other than the drum loop). At the end there are also a JP-8 arpeggio and string patch demo taken from the same session

0:00 Jupiter-8 song
6:57 Jupiter-8 arpeggio
8:36 Jupiter-8 strings"
