Hardware Jams Distortion Challenge

video upload by Dj Puzzle

"It starts out pretty nasty. Give it a minute to develop. I have two distortion pedals in this one. A WMD Geiger Counter and a cheap $20 distortion I found on Amazon.

Running the Korg Volca through the cheap distortion and some drums through the Geiger Counter. Threw this together pretty quick."

Modular Jam 2022 Nov 12

video upload by O.Z. Hall

"I'm using the Korg ARP 2600 for the main sequence and clock. I have a secondary sequence on the 5U format Modular.

The lead voice is also on the modular. A few specific modules that I'm using:
Electro-Smith CEM3340 VCO
Electro-Smith SSM-2044 OTA filter (Prophet 5, Rev 3).
a Serge Resonant Equalizer
a wave folder
The looping envelope on the Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP, modulating"

Low Pass Gates Reimagined! // Steady State Gate from Steady State Fate

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new Steady State Gate Eurorack module from Steady State Fate (SSF). It's a deconstructed and expanded take on the classic 'low pass gate'. It breaks out the VCA and VCF elements of a low pass gate, expands the filtering, cleverly models the vactrol envelope response and 'ring' of classic LPGs and applies adjusted versions of those to the VCA and VCF. PLUS you get a whole Timbre section on the input of the module which offers musical wavefolding, saturation and a unique QAOS mode.

I've managed to filter sine waves with this (yes, really, with the QAOS mode), use the SSG as a standalone kick module, create classic Buchla plucks and bongo sounds, add tape like frequency and saturation shaping to feedback loops and lots more."

via Steady State Fate

"The Steady State Gate is a novel and discrete multi-mode Low Pass Gate including an additional stage of timbre modifying circuitries.

Features:

6db/Oct Bandpass, 6dB/Oct Lowpass and 12dB/Oct Lowpass Filter Modes
Manual Frequency Cutoff Control and CV Input
Manual Resonance (Q-FACTOR) Control and CV Input
Three Timbre Modifying Circuits - Manual Control and CV Input.
Wave Folder
Soft Saturation Overdrive
QAOS (Resonance Character Modifier)
Manual and Voltage Controlled Decay Envelope tailored to Vactrol LPG response curve.
Envelope output for self patching and controlling external modules
EXCITE Input conditions gates and triggers and external envelopes to 'pluck' the Low Pass gate
EXCITE is input level sensitive to control the dynamics and emphasis of plucking effects.
Sensitive to Envelope attack up to about 50mS
The Steady State Gate can also be used as a standalone VCF or as a stand alone VCA with high end roll off - typical of most traditional Low pass gates. With or without Timbre modifiers in play."

Modbap TRINITY Overview - Drum Synths, Cycle Modes & Stack Modes

video upload by Modbap Modular

Update: basic operations video added below.

"TRINITY is a 3 channel Digital Drum Synth Array packed into a 20hp eurorack synthesizer. Effectively, Trinity performs as 3 powerful drum voices packaged into one beastly drum module with a few tricks up its sleeve.

In this video we will explore the 4 drum synth algos...

BLOCK (Analog Inspired): Drum synth building blocks featuring sine and triangle core. Great for traditional electronic drum creation.

HEAP (Additive): Additive drum synth with 12 partials. Great for fun natural sounds and pitched percussive sounds (i.e. bells, chimes, steel drums, and wood blocks etc.).

NEON (FM): FM drum synth engine. Great for high quality FM drums, clangorous metallic percussion and more.

ARCADE (Noise): Quirky noise generator synth, reminiscent of classic 1980's arcade games sounds - zaps, crashes, explosions etc. Great for claps, hats, even some vinyl noise approximations, and all sorts of fun percussive and degraded noises.

Modbap TRINITY Overview - Cycle Modes & Stack Modes

video upload by

"In this video we will explore the Modes...

Cycle Modes
The cycle modes can be enabled and disabled per channel.
‘Round Robin’ mode will switch between each drum synth type sequentially with each new trigger to the drum channel.
‘Random’ mode will generate a new random drum sound with each new trigger to the drum channel.

Stack Modes
The stack modes group the channels together allowing 2 or 3 drum channels to be triggered by the primary channel’s trigger and v/oct inputs.
Stacked drums can be spread out similar to unison mode on a traditional synthesizer. Stack modes are inspired by the characteristics of chopped breaks where drums tend to overlap and fan out depending on the content of the chopped source material.

00:46 Cycle Modes: Random
03:23 Cycle Modes: Round Robin
04:58 Stack Modes: 2 Stacks & 3 Stacks"

"This thing is all about the filters and the modulation matrix in combination with the 4-lane sequencer that acts as another set of programmable LFOs, making things pretty crazy."

"Selling my excellent internal and very good external conditioned Memorymoog that has just been serviced with a tune and calibration and new fan replacement. The prior owner must have mounted this memorymoog with some type of screw clamp on each side of the panel. The small screw openings in the side panel wood does not effect the physicality of this unit to me personally. A wood filler could easily be used to mask that.

A Memorymoog Operation and Service guide and Roadcase with Rollers are included with this Memorymoog."

Kloob - Ambient Techno 2022

video upload by - Kloob -

"One of the first 'Ambient Techno / Progressive House' tracks I´ve made this year that is ending.

I came up with an own 'multi patch' on Novation Summit; one part is a nice atmospheric arpeggio sound and second one is a deep pad performed by me in real time.

Drum sounds come from 'Groove Rider GR-16' iPad groovebox.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for your support!
