http://www.vimeo.com/2732783 This video is a quick patch tutorial by Elan Hickler. Not mentioned in the video: The envelope controlling the lowpass filter is set with high attack, decay, sustain, and release. The pitch VC to the lowpass filter is inverted but heavily attenuated. No resonance and the notch filter was turned all the way down.
via Big City Music: Here’s a little test patch we made while trying to figure out our NAMM setup. The Cwejman modules sound great! We’re using the VCO-2RM, VM-1, PH-4. MMF-1, NS-4, AP-1, and the MX-4S modules, all temporarily racked in an Analogue Systems rs15 case.
This video offers a demo and overview of the Yamaha CS80 – considered by many to be the most expressive synth ever created.
The Prophet VS is a synthesizer released in 1986 by Dave Smith’s Sequential Circuits. The Prophet VS introduced Vector Synthesis – two dimensional crossfading between waveforms. Sequential folded shortly after the VS was introduced, but many of the ideas from the VS lived on in the Korg Wavestation. The video above, via Retrosound, demos some… Read More Sequential Circuits Prophet VS

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=48438CAC0E45FD4B The Yamaha CS-05 is a single oscillator monophonic synthesizer, released in 1979, that has been described as “an unremarkable synth”: It was a one oscillator job with a single ADSR envelope that controlled both the filter and the final amplifier. A simple LFO was provided for modulation and it also had a noise generator… Read More Yamaha CS5 Analog Monophonic Synthesizer
One of the defining sounds of 60’s electronic music created with the Buchla instruments, the electronic bongo is re-created using modern euro-rack format synthesizer modules such as the Quad Multi-Mode Gate. via Make Noise
Here’s a little something for modular purists via Isotope of Me: These are a couple of cuts from some time playing with a few ideas on the Doepfer. Essentially VCO 1 is frequency Modulating VCO 2 through the linear input. The signal being fed into VCO 2’s FM input is being gated/enveloped via VCA and… Read More Doepfer Unplugged
Puremagnetik has released Modular Patterns – a huge collection of thick basses, resonant leads and “analog data” phrases generated entirely within the analog realm. Employing over 20 unique modules for sound generation and expression, each pattern has been meticulously assembled using 3 analog sequencers for the ultimate in nuanced phrasing and voice morphing. Here’s a look at… Read More Puremagnetik Modular Patterns Sound Library
Overview: The Oxford Synthesiser Company (OSC) OSCar is a vintage mono-synthesizer, first released in 1983. It features two digitally controlled oscillators and twin 12dB filters, which can be configured as lowpass, highpass and bandpass filters. It also featured some early digital capabilities, like patch memory and a basic sequencer. An unusual feature of the Oscar was it’s additive… Read More The OSCar Monosynth
