Taiga Keyz from Pittsburgh Modular // It Makes Some Rather Nice Sounds

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Sounds ONLY demo here of the Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Keyz. These patches were too nice to hide in a talky review/demo so i thought i'd put the sounds up front and centre in the heart of the action.. it's what its all about after all.

There are 4 tracks in total.. trying out different patching ideas from simple non-patched using the internal semi-modular internal patching to duophonic mode using an additional VCA to split the oscillators into 2 groups - 2 osc going through the filter and 1 osc going through the Low Pass Gate.

I've used the arp, the sync'd LFO to modulate the waveshapes for a pseudo filtering effect, the mod tool to control the filter cuttoff and I think on one of these I might have been using the random mod tool to add some randomness to the BBD for a lofi chorus effect - if not try it anyway! Once you start you cant help exploring :)"

Time Travel: Playing a 1967 Moog on your modern Arturia MicroFreak

video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is part five of a six-part demonstration of the placement and use of samples from a 1967 Moog 900 Series modular on the incredibly versatile Arturia MicroFreak!

The instruments in the theme music (including some drums) were created entirely with samples of the 1967 Moog 900 Series modular played on the Arturia MicroFreak, and multitracked."

Mystic Circuits ANA 2 - the ultimate analog logic module

video upload by Mystic Circuits

"ANA 2 is a cross modulation powerhouse that derives nine different analog logic operations in tandem from two input signals. Each input channel features a processing section that attenuverts, adds, or multiplies up to six inputs before being sent to the cross modulation circuits. ANA 2 performs a wide variety of functions including mixing, boolean logic, rectifying, cross-fading, voltage sampling, ring modulating, gate converting, bizarre wave shaping and much more. While you may have seen these functions in individual modules before, ANA 2 combines them all into one place with all of these functions available simultaneously to give you a Swiss army knife utility that is capable of happy accidents.‍"

Bad Gear - The Dark Knight

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. We can all agree that Roland created a few quite respectable drum machine like the Roland TR-808 , Roland TR-909 , Roland TR-606 and Roland TR-707 . However, since then their target demographic has dwindled: analog enjoyers have joined the Cult of Uli, people willing to RTFM are using next-generation Scandinavian abaci like Elektron Digitakt or Elektron Octatrack and real musicians switched to computers decades ago.

Today we are going to talk about Roland TR-8s. This 2018 flagship rhythm performer not only boasts a design language that clearly focuses on inner beauty - it also combines the played-out sounds of the 80s with the workflow of a 90s ROMpler.

8 Bit Super Computer | Midicake ARP

video upload by midicake

Fun video. How many games can you identify?

"👾I've been experimenting with #8Bit Computer Game Music and #MidicakeARP. 🕹️

I made a long video but failed to record one of the MIDI channels, so I need to re-record it. Anyway, here's a little snippet.

Using the fantastic #SuperAudioBoy for #NativeInstruments #Kontact."

Make Noise Function demo

video upload by Stazma

"Today I'll show some (there's more!) things the Function can do. It can do like it's half a Maths even if it is a bit less... it's also a bit more. I had one a while back and took the plunge on that superb looking new black panel version. First because I had some space for it in my Make Noise system and also because you can always use another function generator in a modular system., especialy when it is as flexible as this one.

So I'll show you around some of the MANY things this module can do, and also show you some "advanced pro tips" with it. You can try all these patch with your own function generator if you don't have this one.

Have fun!"

PATCH EXPERIMENT / a few ways to create random gates that are on the grid

video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"I always call them 'random gates' in my videos - but what I'm in almost all cases mean are just clocks with a probability setting of less than 100%. There's specialized modules that do the work for you, but with some clever patching you can create them yourself from some kind of clock and a chaotic or random voltage.

In this video I explore how to use ORBIT 3 and the AND logic output of COMPARE 2 to create on grid randomness. I have a go at using STEP 8 for the same goal as well.

PS: in some cases you can use a vca as a boolean logic AND gate, so if you don't have a COMPARE 2 you should still be able to figure out how to use the first technique in the video."
