Surgeon’s Knife: The Noise Engineering Loquelic Iteritas

video upload by pitch patch

"This is a demo of the Noise Engineering Loquelic Iteritas digital eurorack VCO. I go through all knobs, explain the algorithms, and show you two patch ideas.

The Loquelic Iteritas is one of the earlier VCOs from Noise Engineering. It has three modes that are based on interpretations of three classic synthesis algorithms (VOSIM, summation synthesis, and phase modulation) involving dual pitch control.

I use 100% raw audio: no preamp, no compression, no effects.

Quadruple Fun With the 1973 Envelope Generator: A Xaoc Zadar Tutorial

video upload by pitch patch

"This is a Xaoc Devices Zadar 1973 quadruple envelope generator tutorial. I go through all knobs and functions and show two patch ideas.

Zadar is a four-channel envelope, modulation, and transient generator. It creates envelopes from hundreds of shapes using vectors that can be stretched, flipped, warped, distorted, delayed, shuffled, repeated, and amplitude modulated in real-time."

Worth the Hype? The Mannequins by Whimsical Raps Mangrove Formant Oscillator

video upload by pitch patch

"This is a demo of the Mannequins by Whimsical Raps Mangrove formant oscillator. I go through all knobs and show you three patch ideas.

Mangrove is an analog formant oscillator that contains a triangle-core with a dedicated square wave output and a shaped impulse-train generator output through an internal VCA and waveshaper.

Many of the brands in the world of Eurorack modular are small businesses that produce in small numbers. To me, it is deliberating that not everything is immediately available all the time and every once in a while there are modules that are on backorder, out of stock, or out of production. With its unconventional and inspiring design, the Mangrove formant oscillator is highly regarded even years after its release. I think it is well worth the hype."

Best Small Digital Eurorack VCO? The ALM Busy Circuits MCO

video upload by pitch patch

"In this video, we are taking a closer look at the ALM Busy Circuits MCO compact digital Eurorack oscillator. I go through all knobs and waveforms and show you three patch ideas.

The MCO features 10 morphing waveforms with a resolution of 16Bit/48kHz (AKM audio codec). It has a morphing wavetable out, additional variable pulse segments out (think Alpha Juno style saw wave PWM), and a sub-square wave out. It is said to have an early 90s slightly crunchy digital type sound (like Ensoniq or Kawaii Kx synths)."

Polyphonic Eurorack? The 4ms Ensemble Oscillator

"If you are interested in the 4ms Ensemble Oscillator or don’t like reading the manual this video is for you. I go through all knobs and functions and show you two patch ideas.

The Ensemble Oscillator was designed by Matthias Puech and 4ms Company and is a polyphonic voice of sixteen sine-based oscillators combining additive, FM, phase-distortion, and wave folding synthesis techniques."

Noise Engineering’s Most Melodic Voice? A Cursus Iteritas Demo

"This is a demo of the Cursus Iteritas by Noise Engineering. I go through all knobs and show two patch ideas.

Cursus Iteritas is a digital eurorack oscillator that uses a dynamically generated wavetable to create a wide variety of harmonic sounds. It gives you spectral-like controls over three different modes based on different conceptualizations of frequency.

Behringer Introduces the UB-1 Spirit for $49

Another mini synth from Behringer. Curious what makes one a Spirit vs. Soul. So far they have introduced the ProVS Soul, the JP-4000 Spirit, the Saturn Soul, and now the UB-1 Spirit. I thought this one was based on the OB-Xa/upcoming UB-Xa, but per below it uses the Matrix-6/1000 CEM 3396/3397. via Wikipiea: "CEM3396 Microprocessor Controllable: Wave-Shaper x2, VCF, VCA. CEM3397 same core design as CEM3396 but with separate external signal (noise/sub/wavetable) input and VCA to mix stage and additional Pan VCA and L/R output stage. Originally labelled MS1215 and designed for Marion Systems MSR-2. Relabeled as PA397 for DSI."

I'm guessing no matrix modulation on the UB-1. It's not a mini Matrix-6/M1000. It just uses the chip.

Details:

"Introducing the UB-1, a Portable Analog Synthesizer with 2 Analog Oscillators, Classic VCF and Arpeggiator.

Uli passionately believes in empowering everyone by providing access to great sounding musical instruments, especially for kids, so they can start a lifelong love affair with electronic music and sound synthesis.

The UB-1 synthesizer is fully developed and once we receive the chips, we’ll be shipping this marvel your way. Don’t be fooled by the size - this is a monster synth in a small package. Best of all the estimated price is only US$ 49.

What’s under the tiny hood?

- Programmable synthesizer with 2 DCOs and classic 4-pole filter

- Legendary 3396/3397 analog chip design, found in the Oberheim Matrix 6/1000*

- 16 touch
-sensitive keys for great playability

- 32 memory presets, expandable via SynthTribe app

- Arpeggiator with 3 patterns and hold function

- Individual envelopes for VCF and VCA for creative sound shaping

- 2 powerful LFOs to control filter and oscillator tuning

- 6 functions buttons and OLED display for easy and immediate parameter editing

- USB Micro connector allows powering via smartphone, power bank or computer

- Comprehensive USB/MIDI implementation (including NRPN/CC control of all parameters and bulk load/save)"

Analog Four, JV-880 & Modular Synths | Live on MIDI Channel 13

video upload by Mamotreco

"The Analog Four synth (out of frame) is pulling double duty, both sequencing the analog modular (pictured) bass sequence as well as playing some additional melodic sequences. The Octatrack is just passing through MIDI coming from the Push 2 grid controller through the RME Fireface UFX (out of frame) onto the Roland JV-880 synth that is right above the modular synth and is responsible for warm synth pads being played live over the modular synth and Analog Four.
