Electric Life Form
A self perpetuating generative patch on Quijote Cinemusica’s Yusynth/Mfos home made Modular Synthesizer.
The LFO is being used as clock for the sequencer and for the Sample and hold which is in turn modulating the LFO speed effectively creating a random clock. 4 oscillators modulated by the S&H, 2 of which are also being modulated by the 10 step sequencer. Moog filter on the left, Arp on the right, MFOS minisynth MKII in the middle. Original EH Memory Man analog delay and EH Holy Stain reverb.
The System 1000M modular style synth for Native Instruments Kontakt 5.1.0 – A basic overview
A simple close-up of some of the features in the System1000M. This isn’t meant as an audio demo – just a guide to help learn the layout etc.

– Over 275 presets
– From raucous laboratory experiments, acid house and techno to serene radiophonic bliss-scapes
– Optional new ‘add-on’ banks and presets (coming soon)
– Sampled with vintage valve equipment to quarter inch tape for maximum analogue texture

Audulus 2.0
“New features in Audulus 2.0. Many thanks to the Audulus beta testers for their thorough testing of this release!”
With Audulus, you can build synthesizers, design new sounds, or process audio. All with low latency real-time processing suitable for live performance. Audulus’s user interface is clean, simple, and easy to learn, allowing you to focus on sound.
Key Features:
• Fluid Vector Interface – smooth animated interaction
• MIDI control – use your control surface or MIDI keyboard
• Polyphony – process multiple voices
• Diverse Nodes – from ADSR to ZeroCross
• Patch Browser – quickly flip through your patches
• 32-bit floating-point signal processing
• Fully Enhanced for Retina Display
• Unlimited Undo – full history stored in a patch
• Round-trip workflow with Audulus for Mac
• Virtual MIDI – control Audulus from your favorite MIDI app
• NEW: Audiobus support! – Runs as both an Input and Effect!
• NEW: Sub-Patches – group and reuse nodes!
Here’s what’s new:
- Math Expression node (Math -> Expr). Enter textual math expressions, like “2*x + y +z”. Available as an upgrade, this node has a variety of uses, including: unit conversion, control-signal mapping, wave-shaping or building custom oscillators. It can also be used when doing math with individual nodes is too cumbersome.
- Timing mode (the little stopwatch button below the lock mode button). This shows timings for all the nodes so you can optimize your patch. This is available as an upgrade.
- The Oscillator node now has an amplitude input. If the amplitude is zero, the oscillator takes up much less CPU. Synth patches will see a big performance improvement from driving the Osc amplitude with the ADSR.
- Significant improvement in loading times. Indicate progress while loading.
- No waiting to close a patch. Patches are saved in the background.
- Audio engine optimizations. The audio engine now takes various shortcuts when values aren’t changing.
- Improved responsiveness of the on-screen keyboard.
- Bug fixes.

Verloren – Eurorack synthesizer.
Oliver Chesler has uploaded this Eurorack video:
“Sometimes it’s good to go into the studio with no purpose other than having fun. Verloren is the German word for lost and so I did loose myself in this a bit. Ableton records my Eurorack synthesizer stuff. Hope you enjoy it as I did making it.”
Marienberg Modular
A quick run of Marienberg Modular; 5U format from MusikMesse. Nice sounding modular, with a good selection of modules and a hip “960-style sequencer. Enjoy.
Tinysizer FX “Battle in the Bathtub” (self playing audio effects patch)
Patching an Anyware Tinysizer to play sound effects by itself. This is not “music”. It sounds kind of like old computers fighting under water. Pew pew pew! There is a lot of re-triggering and frequency modulation happening, all based on the three LFOs, which also act as VCA envelopes.
