Minimoog-style Lead Sounds - Inspired by Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, & the sounds of the seventies

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"These are just sound examples, but I am not a keyboardist, so please don't expect any Rick Wakeman/Keith Emerson keyboard wizardry. The intention is just to illustrate the kind of tones that can be created with the basic MiniMod voice in Minimoog configuration (Glide, 3 VCO's, Ladder Filter, etc), along with some overdrive/distortion from driving the audio levels hard.

Generally, input levels significantly beyond 12 O'clock (50%) on the Ladder Filter or Discrete Cascaded VCA should start to apply more overdrive to the audio from the VCO's or other Eurorack level signals. This will noticeably change the character of the sound at extreme settings.

The GAIN SWITCH module is also used a couple of times here, as it conveniently activates the high-gain mode featured on both the Transistor Ladder Filter & Discrete Cascaded VCA modules, which is otherwise set by jumpers on the rear of the modules. Using the Gain Switch just means you don't need to pop the module out to enable/disable the feature. Audio-rate modulation of VCO3 from VCO1 is added at a couple of points... just because it sounds good, not necessarily because it was commonly used in famous lead sounds.

Rick Wakeman has famously used the Minimoog throughout his career, whereas Keith Emerson is equally associated with the Moog modular system that preceded it. Since the AJH Synth MiniMod system is directly based on the early, more desirable R.A.Moog version of the Minimoog, whilst also being fully modular, this makes it an excellent choice for recreating the sounds of those original, iconic instruments, and going way beyond it in the world of Eurorack.

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #124: Wersi MK1 - Song 3

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with the Wersi MK1. It's a 12 voice synthesizer from 1986 using a kind of additiv synthesis based on complex volume and pitch envelopes for up to 32 digitally generated harmonic's. In addition it has a single analog filter (in my version it's an SSM2045 filter chip) for all voices (paraphonic use).

I used for the recording the following FX chain: MK1 - Pigtronix Envelop Phaser - Zoom MS-70CDR - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)

COSMIC LANE, Pt. 2 (live sessions #6 - analog sequencing - headphone suggested)

video upload by KurtzMindfields

Part 1 here

"'Cosmic lane, Pt.2' is an original title extanded from my SynthR4 demo works, but connecting Big Ancestor Moog NRSynth & SynthR3, played lives:

- Live session 1 sequencing (Center and bottom left) : SynthR4 stéréo master step sequencer (ARP & JP6) + SynthR3 (ARP & SEM) + Big Ancestor Moog (55 model ispired), M300 TC effects.

(pan effects, LFOs & pedal sustain, wheels controls) ... so about 10 analog oscillators from 32' to 4' range :=). - Live sessions 2/3/4 (mixed, Center bottom) : Hansy Mister M Mellotrons Strings/Brass, SynthR4 Paraphonic & Noise snares, ARP Pro Soloist Flûte solo 1, Big Ancestor Solo 2, SynthR3 Arpeggiator, Moog Sub37 + MXR disto/Flanger/Delay solo 3.

- live session 5 (right bottom) : Big Ancestor Bassy sounds, Winds & S&H effects.
- Live session 6 final : Arturia V3 piano.

Thanks to Rémy Wasselin and Stephen Ingrand.

Vaemi Shift Register

"Shift Register essentially stores the data in binary form, and it shifting the data in accordance with a clock signal reference. In fact, thanks to this feature, it is used for storing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing data in a computer. Multiplication and dividing are actually the results of the shifting process.

Shift Register is a module that is designed for Eurorack systems, and it can run between 0V-+5V. It runs with a clock signal. This way, all the data entered through data input is synchronized with the starting and ending times of the clock signal. This module is a dual and 4bit Shift Register module. It can be accepted as a 4-step sequencer. The jack on the module that types data is input.Even if you enter a CV signal or gate signal, the signal you will get from the outputs is a 5V gate signal. The first output, on the other hand, gives out exactly the same pattern you entered in the data signal, only a better-synced version with the clock,while synchronizing with the clock signal, it shifting the written patten to another output as the clock arrives. In fact, as a result, when you enter 16-note clock signals, you get a 16-note delayed version of the patten you typed from each output. If you use this module in the audio rate range, you can run it like an oscillator with clock signals that are hearable for human ears. In this way, while patching with square waves in Logic, you primarily get different phase degrees of the data (square wave) you entered.

The module also has a reset input. If you send a trigger or a gate to this input, Shift Register will delete all the data in its memory.

When you record data in the data input in the momentary flow and stop the clock signal, you will see that 4 steps, which is actually 4 bits of data stay frozen inside the module. At this point, if you redirect one of the outputs to the Shift Register's data input, and if you give the clock signal back again, the pattern will enter a 2-3-4 step loop according to the output that you use. This pattern will go on like this forever if you follow these steps.The pattern you recorded is probably out of phase in comparison to the clock signal; however, you can also select the phase of the pattern by starting the Shift Register at different times.

Another method is that you can enter the same clock signals in the second Shift Register because it is a 2-channeled Shift Register module. If you direct the 4th output of the 1st Shift Register to the data input of the 2nd Shift Register, you can extend the Shift Register up to 7 bits."
