Late night abstract acid modular jam
“Late night abstract acid modular jam using the MakeNoise rene, brains, and 4 pressure points. Everything clocked to 1 plan-B mini ELF lfo. Trying to make squelchy acid bass lines with the WMD Gamma Wave Source – Dual WaveTable VCO.”
Note: the audio was recorded into my ZoomH4n, no computers or drum machines used here.
Sportmodular in action
In this video you will find (among other things a Doepfer A 143-1 – Complex envelope generator comprising of four paralell AD-envelopes. They can be chained in order to form a complex multistage envelope and are output at a common mix output. You can decide at which point of the recent envelope´s decay phase the next envelope is going to be fired. Each envelope can be mixed positively or inverted to the summing output.

Analogue Modular in sync with Reaktor Space Drone
Heavy stuff I must say, enjoy
Dark Ambience theme made mainly with the A-100 Analog Modular System. for some harmonic elements i included a layer from Reaktor Space Drone and 2 samples from Novation X-Station. The beat at the end comes from Roland MC-909.
On a journey with the Moon Modular
The M 551 is a module, which transforms an attached Midi signal into a couple of analogue control voltages. Thereby modular synthesizers can be integrated into a Midi-network and controlled by Midi-master-keyboards or Midi-hardware- or software-sequencers/DAWs.
The M 551 derives the following six control voltages from the fed Midi-messages:
– Keyboard CV (from Midi-note-number) Depending on the ‘Priority’ switch, the lowest, highest or last received note-on message is getting transformed. Voltage range: 0-10,53 V
– Gate (from the current Midi note-on/note-off commands)
– Velocity (transforms the key velocity [note-on velocity] of the current note-on message) Voltage range: 0-10 V
– Mod. Wheel (derives a control voltage from Midi-modula- tion messages [Controller 1]. Voltage range: 0-10 V
– Pitch Wheel (control voltage from the Midi pitch bend commands, bipolar) Voltage range: ±5 V (If “Add Bend CV” is active, a pitch bend voltage of ±0,5 V is added internally to the keyboard control voltage).
– Controller (transforms a selectable Midi controller into a control voltage [0-10 V])
Available are: – After touch – Breath controller (CC 2) – Foot pedal (CC 4) – Sustain pedal (CC 64) – Panorama (CC 10) – Main volume (CC 7), – the unspecified parameters CC 20, CC 21, CC 22.
The functions of the three toggle switches are:
– Add Bend CV
In ‘on’-position the Midi Pitch bend voltage (attenuated to ±0.5 V) is added internally to the keyboard voltage to ease pitchbending the oscillator
– Priority
Keyboard control voltage/gate signal/velocity voltage are derived from the hightes/lowest/last received note-on message
– Keyboard Mode
Retrig triggers a new keyboard control voltage/gate signal combination at any struck key
Legato starts a new event not before all keys are released
To select the Midi-Channel: Dial the rotary switch to the„Channel Select” position and initiate a MIDI-channel message (e. g. strike a note on a keyboard); the module sets itself to the most recently received MIDI channel (this setting is saved even if the unit is switched off).

Barking Spiders – modular synth improvization
Modular being fed by 2 voices from Numerology software. MOTM 650 MIDI-CV converter and 440 filter, Hordijk Dual Phaser (featured heavily, lower right), Modcan VCDO and DDL, Moon Modular 563 trigger sequencer, DIY switcher, STG Wavefolder, Encore UEG, and Synthesizers.com 107 filter, slew limiter, 2 EG’s, 2 osc (one as LFO) and mixer. All sounds originate from the Modcan VCDO and one synthesizers.com Q106 oscillator into a Suit and Tie Guy wavefolder. I’m using the wonderful Hordijk Dual Phaser in lowpass mode more than phaser mode as I find the sounds a lot more interesting. This uses a microtonal scale: 3-LattA whatever that means!
Attack of the quads
A-148 as an ASR
The two S&H of the A-148 are cascaded. The first one keep it’s state slightly longer than the second one thanks to a trigger delay (here the end of Attack of a quad ADSR A-143-2).
Enjoy this mega synth drum test
Here’s a demo of some drum sequences using a new analog/digital DIY modular synth. A lot of the rhythmic control is coming from electric Druids tap tempo LFO. It’s an amazing chip. read about it here:

Powerful modular system in operation
Here is a quick video of the MacBeth Mk1 ‘Majestic 12’ System in operation. It’s basically four Analogue Syntrhesizers in one! Each synth features 3 x VCOs/1 x Mixer/1 x 24dB/Octave Transistor Ladder Filter/1 x 12dB/Octave State Variable Filter and 2 x Dual Envelope Generators with built in output VCAs.
This was recorded directly into the Canon 60D that I use- and on edit- as scene fades into scene- the sounds overlap a bit.
The sequencer here is an ensoniq ASR-10- a fantastically easy sequencer to use. Also used is a four channel MIDI to CV converter- a Kenton Pro4.
It’s a short vid- shot in HD, hence the size!
Concussor modular synth and Oberkorn step sequencer
Quick demo of Concussor modular synth and Oberkorn step sequencer
The trigger input has a range of about 5 to 12V. A trigger pulse of around 1mS is recommended, although the gate output of a synth can be used. A larger trigger pulse will increase the level of the sound (accent the notes). When the accent socket is used, the trigger input socket only triggers the sound and the level of the sound is controlled by the voltage of the CV at the accent socket. The accent voltage can be from another trigger pulse generator, or from an LFO or Envelope. When using for example an LFO, you can have the level changing with the LFO sweep.
