Paul Birken has released a free 28 Mb sample library, the Murky Modular Pack:

Behold! The Bugbrand Modular!

Paul has zipped up a handful of about 80 little loops, hits and whistles of the bleepy, R2 variety in his initial explorations into this new synth of his to share with everyone.

Cut em up, cut em loose, show em to your mom. It doesn’t matter what you do with them, but if it sounds fun send it in for everyone to hear!

BugModular Demo – Two VCO FM

This is an official demo of the BugModular modular synthesizer. 

via BugBrand:

 This shows the sounds that two of the SYN2A VCOs can make when cross-modulating one another, first using Triangle waves and then Square waves.

Each oscillator’s output feeds both the Output mixer plus the other osc’s CV input – changing the modulation depth results in varying sound, with total chaos ensuing when both oscs have their FM depths set to maximum.
