Korg opsix- Dream vs Nightmare, external modular processing for a simple organ-like patch

video upload by Friendly Noise

"Modules: Xaoc Tallin, Schlappi Engineering 100 Grit and Angle Grinder, SSF Vortices, Intellijel Quadrax.
No eurorack: Strymon Nightsky

Preset used: 014 Ambi Sines. Internal filter and effects are off. The monophonic output goes into Xaoc Tallin for level raising and then the signal goes to 100 Grit for filtering and distortion. The output from 100 Grit goes into the Angle Grinder, where it gets splitted using the dedicated output for low pass and high pass filtering. The splitted signals go to two mono channels of Vortices. The panning of those two channels is modulated with channels 1 and 2 of Quadrax in LFO mode (but not from the beginning of the video). The idea is similar to what a Leslie does, but not trying to emulate the sound. Channels 3 and 4 of Quadrax are also in LFO mode and modulate the filter frequency of 100 Grit and Angle Grinder. Finally, Nightsky adds some ambient reverb. No sequencing or arpeggio were used, but sometimes the intermodulation of oscillator frequencies and harmonics would let you think there is some sequencing."

Eminent Solina String Ensemble MK1

via this auction

"The most sought after version of the legendary Solina String Ensemble.
Fun fact: the solina owned by « The Cure » was sold a few years back on the internet with the serial number (series 30, No. 0096091). This is not the arp model but rather the one manufactured by B.V. Eminent of Bodegraven, Holland.
This unit for sale has the serial number (series 30, No. 0096061). Means that it was basically standing in the production line 30 units before the one owned by the Cure. Nerd detail ;)."

Analog vs Software Synth - Blindfold Comparison (Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 vs Ableton Analog)

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"In this video I invite you to take a little game. I'm going to play a couple of sounds for you, and you can guess whether it was played by the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 or Ableton's Analog synthesizer.

Sometimes it's fun to do those tests, although you should always be aware that you're just listening to sounds out of context. I'm mostly curious on your opinion and your reports on how you experienced the sound of the examples.

In the end, I'll share a few more thoughts on the subjects and the examples."

2. S-CAT Filter/Phaser

"Roland TR-909 mono out plugged directly into one side of the filter."

3. S-CAT Filter/Phaser demo

"The TR-909 is connected straight into one side of the filter. The MV-30 is sending the synth line directly to the mixer."

Future Retro Vectra Rippin' Sounds

video upload by FutureRetroSynths

"All sounds in this video were recorded directly from the Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer. No additional EQ, Compression, or Effects were used. These sounds contain low frequency content, listen with a subwoofer to appreciate.

It's interesting to note that while the Vectra does not have a built in distortion stage as many of our other products are well known for, the Vectra's oscillators are powerful enough to synthesize many different forms of distortion all by themselves using our one-of-a-kind Phase-Slice modes.

This video highlights quite a few of these more aggressive sounds, most of which will use only one or two oscillators.

Some of the new complex vector synthesis patches sound amazing.

Enjoy!"
