Cwejman MX-4S, MMF-4, PH-4, PlanB, Doepfer, and Harvestman


YouTube via dkimcg
"I really liked the trapazoid generator in the last video, but it didn't quite fit my current workflow. So I replaced it with the PH-4 and a few other modules. The Cwejman PH-4 is a beautiful 4 phase LFO, it outputs 4 phases of one LFO at 90 degree invervals. It's excellent for panning. Here I'm testing out some stereo panning tricks with the PH-4. It and the Doepfer 143-1 Complex Envelope Generator/LFO are modulating the filters and the 143-1 is controlling one of the gates in the M13 Dual Timbral Gate. The Model 10 Polyphonic Envelope Generator controls the other gate. In addition to the Cwejman MMF-4, the PlanB Model 11 Evil Twin and Harvestman Polivoks filters are used. MFB Seq-01 sequences. and triggers the 143-1, Model 10, and Jomox MBase01 for the kick.

The MMF-4 is one sweet module for panning and VC for filters.

I thought the last video I uploaded was just too dorky sounding. I tried to make this one sound "cool". Put on yer sunglasses kinda cool."

Cwejman MMF-1 Reso Beats

"This has to be one of the greatest eurorack modular filters available. There is such a beautiful clarity to it, rich and versatile. This is just resonance, it's sort of annoying but you get a since of the massive tone the MMF-1 is capable of. Multimode indeed! Dual bandpass kicks......well you get it. Did you know the Machinedrum can send gate pulses? Yep. That's what's controlling the envelope generator. Cool. Flashing lights courtesy of Dr.Bleep's Thingamagoop."

Vangelis "Spiral" cover


YouTube via mik300z. Update: stereo version embedded.
"Juno 6 and 106 hard at work here! Just some background info for this cover version. Because I needed almost every sound to come from the analogue juno 6 which does not have patch memory and impossible to sync the arpeggiator clock to the ESQ sequencer, I had to make the track in 2 stages. First, I recorded the Juno 6 alone in the arp. part the whole way through, manually adjusting the PWM and envelope through the chords. Then played it back through the mixer while adding some percussion and bringing in the 106 for the sequenced bass and try and sync the 2 tracks . This time I was adjusting the juno6's parameters in real time to flick between the slow attack chords and fast attack melodyline. It sounds too heavy in the melodyline I know, I just wish I had 3 or 4 more Junos in my setup to assign each one for the different patches. So as you see some of the music and video sometimes sounds out of sync, it was the only way i could do it. This was one of those times I would love a huge studio with real drums and percussion instruments and just go crazy lol! Also thanks to my 9 year old daughter Hannah who did the video, she's getting pretty handy with the camera!"

Elka EK 22



via this auction

"The ELKA EK22 was released in 1986 as one of the last synthesizer models from the ELKA synthesizer factory, and for that also one of the last Italian analogs, ending a great legacy that included the mighty Elka Synthex. What we have here is the usual 6 voice analog 2 oscillator synth with some exotic modulation, sync routings and multi stage envelope generators. Not quite an Oberheim Matrix 6 in its synth modulation capabilities but coming close and on some fronts even superior. A broad range of sounds is possible and its all there; haunting strings, eerie pads, deep monophonic portamento moog basses and leads, fine harps, metallic stuff, low-end brass etc. All with a very good character, tight and compact...a good punch but also enough warmth..Actually this synth sounds pretty darn excellent! I am pretty sure its got faster envelopes then a Matrix 6 and also sounds less gritty/grainy/plasticy. Its an often overlooked synthesizer, proberly not many were built and programming goes with the typical 80ies numerical interface. It also comes with a Rom cartridge containing an extra 89 preset sounds."

Jump 69 Song on RS7000 Ghost Hands


YouTube via zamisers7k.
"Which is the right hand?
Works best with extra loud systems sets that can handle mastred prime youtube codeishes that most extra loudness systems cant handle otherwise, thank you.
Seeing if Matrixsynth picks this up because it is kind of cool, and he rarely features RS7000 (the coolest groove production synth ever by Yamaha no less!)
I tell you turn it up extra extra loud and then sum! This is the RS FNshiteola!
Youtube sonic synthesizer special!
Not really but have fun anyway with your hundred grand system and youtube.
