I love these little 'vignettes' on the SV-1b. Is everything done on that little unit, or is there some help from your other modules?

The Lifeforms SV-1b is a fully patchable synthesizer module, designed to be the heart and soul of any modular system. It features two independent, full-range analog oscillators. Each one generating beefy, organic waveforms perfect for dynamic and inspired performances. Did we mention the filter?  Rich and thick, the sound of the revered Pittsburgh Modular Filter is unmistakable, dripping with harmonic character over the entire voltage controlled frequency range. In addition to the flexible oscillators and buttery filter, we rounded the SV-1b out with a staggering feature set designed to fuel the creative fire.

Nick decided we needed to put out a compilation to help further cement our kudzu-esque rise as purveyors of pervertry. Once the smoke cleared and we got all the blood out we were left with these ten tracks. We love you.

Sunday Evening Jam

A collaborative effort between myself and SERTAVE ( https://soundcloud.com/sertavednb ).  140bpm, strongly influenced by UK Dubstep and 80s Industrial.  This song was bounced around between Maschine, Reaper and Fruity Loops, with many sounds being re-sampled from a Circuit Mono Station, a Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms SV-1, and original ensembles created in NI Reaktor Blocks, and subsequently granulized before arrangement.  The track's been kicking back and forth between us for a while now - this is version 52 of the song, and that's not even counting the original recordings that kicked it off.

Runner - Super Sleuth - Out Now on Faction Digital Recordings FDR

The VRL plays another guitar-ish solo, with drop-thumb bassline built-in - that's all just emerging from the generative patch I built.  Other than a little reverb, there's no editing, layering, compression or other effects.  The richness of the tone that comes straight out of the VRL is really amazing. as is the twangy timbral profile.  I thought I'd have to get a physical modeling synth to get into this kind of terrain, but the VRL goes there.  I love it more and more.

The original Lifeforms SV-1 eurorack format synthesizer module is legendary for its deep, analog sounds capable of pumping out everything from roaring bass and cutting leads to absolute chaos. The SV-1b shares this same bold, powerful core while fine tuning the details. We have made a countless number of small tweaks and adjustments to the original SV-1 synthesis engine to improve the stability and functionality of the SV-1b. The sound is what matters, and this is still the East Coast analog monster to beat.
