video upload by Braintree56 - Music With Synthesizers

"This video shows how to make a pad that utilizes some of the idiosyncrasies and features that make the Moog Matriarch such a unique instrument. It’s pad with a generative quality to it - a drone underneath and a sparkly sequence like shimmer on top.

This video details a handful of useful patching ideas as well as explanations for how they work.

The video covers:
VCA modes
Paraphonic Modes
The Stereo Delay Patchpoints
Filter Patchpoints
Sample/Hold
Frequency Sync
And a whole bunch of modulation and playing ideas."

Plaits 1.2 Firmware | The Mutable Universe ends with a Big Bang

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"There's already tons of videos about Plaits 1.2 on YT, so I am a bit late to the party. But it's a party indeed! Eight new modes with over a 100 new presets. How's that? Because mode 03, 04 and 05 each have 32. You can find the firmware on the Mutable Forum.

Dear Emilie, thanks for this incredible heritage of great modules! You are legendary."

IMAVAI #2 / 3 eurorack patches suggested by viewers

video upload by BRiES

"In this IMAVAI episode I try to patch a polyrhythm using clockdividers and function generators. I have a go with the Walsh bank on JENA as a source for triggers and audio for the LPGs on AGOGO. Finally I make a patch where I use the sine output of GENERATE 3 for audio and use the other outputs to module parameters on a wavefolder and a filter."

Yamaha Synth Space History | VL1 | Dom Sigalas

video upload by Yamaha Synths Official

"Come along as Dom Sigalas walks us through the ins and outs of the groundbreaking Yamaha VL1 virtual acoustic synthesizer.

The VL1 was the world's first musical instrument to use physical modelling. It was first released in 1994 and included 49 keys with aftertouch, 128 programs (voices), a breath controller jack, and much more. This duophonic synthesizer simulates the complex vibrations, resonances, reflections and other acoustic phenomena that occur in reed and wind instruments – a completely new approach to synthesis.

Synth Space History features demos of historic Yamaha Synths and Stage instruments."
