Nice demo fo the Tinysizer
demosong for the TINYSIZER from anywhere instruments. All sounds except the kickdrum are from the tinysizer. sequenced and recorded with ableton live.
the TINYSIZER is an analog modular synthesizer where you can patch everything
with little patch cords and the total size of the synth is like a little laptop.
Its got MIDI to CV build in, so you can sequence with MIDI or CV.
Modular noodles
Trauma Duo Ambient Noodle
Just patching around and less tweeking on different analog machines…sorry the bad sound- and Videoquality…the computer is only used for recording…
Used stuff:
Korg SQ-10, Korg MS-20, Korg Delta, Roland Jupiter 4, Modular Mixer from HealthClub-Music (with white & pink Noise from Korg MS-50), MFB Kraftzwerg, Klerk Teknik DN-50 Springhall, Kaosspad II”
Making bitcrushing effects
This episode shows how to create a bitcrushing effect using a Sample and Hold module of a modular synthesizer. By clocking the sampling with a VCO you get into audio frequencies. Results with vary a little depending on your sample and hold module but hey -it’s analog!
Semi-modular software synthesizer for Mac OS X
Madrona Labs introduced Aalto – a semi-modular software synthesizer for Mac OS X with a patchable UI, distinctive sounds, and “a charming personality”.
Aalto’s sound engine lets you create sounds that have been difficult or impossible to make with softsynths before now. The heart of Aalto is a Buchla-inspired complex oscillator, with FM, timbre and waveshape controls that enable a wide range of expressive sounds. These sounds are uniquely malleable and alive, in part because they are made with dynamic calculation, not static wavetables.
Aalto is designed as much for sequencing patterns as for playing individual notes. Each voice has a separate, built-in sequencer with a patchable, independently controllable rate and offset that make it easy to achieve evolving, chaotic textures.
Each voice also includes a lowpass gate module with a vactrol emulation in the control path. The vactrol equation slows down the response to incoming control signals through a complex nonlinear filter. You can turn the vactrol response down to instantaneous, or up to a pronounced ring.
Following the lowpass gate is a patchable waveguide / delay module with a waveshaper and a peaking EQ built into the feedback loop. Because it has such short and controllable delay times, unlike a typical analog delay, it can be used as an additional oscillator or waveguide.
Aalto’s filter is a state-variable topology with mixable simultaneous outputs, tuned to have a similar range to an Oberheim SEM filter. (Though I couldn’t resist turning up the resonance just a little more.)
Subjectively speaking, Aalto can make a wide range of sounds, from lush to edgy, including some very complicated ones, without sounding too thick in a mix. Aalto’s sounds are not hyped or confined, they are wide-range, open and natural. We hope our approach will appeal to experienced sound designers who have their own favorite EQs and limiters. And for those just getting into synthesis, Aalto is an accurate and honest tool for learning. We have tried to make Aalto a deep instrument that will reward lasting engagement.
Dubstep using the Modular
Brandon Daniel has posted this video where his making a dubstep song using the modular
Dubstep track I’m working on, getting the big modular synth involved. The bass tone is actually Nord Modular G2, but being processed through the modular, drums are 808 + some other stuff… hopefully will finish the track in the next couple weeks.

Modular synthesis in Germany
Some impressions of the Modular Synthesizer Meeting 21 – 23.5.2010 in Germany.
All sounds without external effects.”
Demos: Cwejman, Doepfer, events, Featured, Fonitronik, Kyma, Livewire, Malekko, MFB, synthesizers.com, theiss, TipTop Audio, Video, Wiard, EMS SYNTHI E and Logik (pt 2), Doepfer.
Part 2:
Signals with four oscillators
Intended to create incredibly intricate and lush pad sounds, Signals utilizes four oscillators (each with their own signal path) in conjunction with two powerful LFOs (30 possible destinations, 5 waveforms) and an LFO-modulated global delay with filter cutoff. Each oscillator has its own waveform selector (5 shapes), tuning control, lowpass filter, modulation depth control and volume envelope. If you’re looking for a synth that can effortlessly mix warm, analog pads with celestial modulation or grinding glitch *and* switch into mono mode to use the same tone-shaping tools to meet another end, look no further.
Feature List:
-30 presets
-Four oscillators (five waveform choices) with their own full channels with tuning, filtration and amplitude shaping
-Two sound / tone shaping LFO’s (five shapes) with a total of 30 possible destinations
-Master section with independent lowpass filter / volume envelope
-Independent, LFO modulated delay section with frequency cutoff.
-Optional Mono mode
Changes in this version:
*10 brand new presets as well as the original 20 re-envisioned
*Streamlined sound engine for improved CPU and functionality
*10 new presets along with updated old presets
*Cutoff filter for the global delay
*LFO destinations refined and now labeled
*Mono mode added
*Improved interface
Miscellaneous: Demo is 100% fully functional and unlimited.

How to use a Moog to control a modular synthesizer
YouTube user Paul Durso demonstrates how to use a Moog Minimoog Voyager to control a massive modular synthesizer.
While the video may leave most viewers with a bad case of synth envy, it does make clear the benefits of the Voyager’s VX-351 Voyager CV Expander module.

Phase modulation
The brainchild of Plogue Art et Technologie is a cross-platform application that is gaining recognition world-wide as the new standard in modular music software.
Bidule is used by thousands of musicians worldwide Bidulists from the all over the world have gathered on the forums at the Plogue Web site to get their questions about Bidule answered, as well as share their music and Bidule inventions.
Live demo of Bidule to explain the various key shortcuts and important features of the patcher
Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie. This is to show some sounds and waveforms obtained with phase modulation. It has been made with Plogue Bidule Enjoy !
