All direct outs. No external effects.
Reverb = new DIY module built in Buchla's ModuleModule format.

BugBrand Modular & Buchla & Serge - March 11, 2015

Testing the SYNC input on the (THAT300 based) prototype of the upcoming Jürgen Haible Living VCOs module by Random*Source, using the SINE, TRIANGLE and SAW outputs of a single Living VCO, a Serge Sequencer driving the pitch and a Serge DUSG Gate out serving as the SYNC source.

Download for best audio quality (24Bit 96kHz)

The Living VCOs will soon be available (again and as the only legit version) on http://jhaible.com

JHaible Living VCOs by Random*Source - SYNC Demo

Testing the prototype board of the upcoming Jürgen Haible Living VCOs module - some raw, unfiltered textures and loops using only 1 or 2 VCOs (not calibrated yet!) plus the new mixer + Haible VCA / distortion section. Looks like this is the ultimate drone panel (and much more) ...

More sounds of the Serge 2016 NTO by Random*Source. Waveshaper used  to modulate external sine wave (internal frequency initially set way above audio range)+ VC controlled FM and Portamento ...

iNTO the darkness

Another one-knob patch I ran into testing the prototype of the Serge New Timbral Oscillator (NTO): 
NTO sequenced by a Serge 4-stage programmer, frequency turned up to >100kHz(!), static wave from a PCO into (exponential) FM input, playing with the FM knob. Recorded through Random*Source Stereo Mixer 1.1 (from DONKs) with some overdrive.  
Part 1: sine in, (new) square out of the NTO 
Part 2: sine out used, saw in (also far above audio rates), 
Part 3: Variable wave run through Serge Variable Slope Filter. 
Use good speakers and turn up the volume to get the insane bass ...

iNTO the light - Serge NTO >100kHz FM

Exploring the wild side of the incredible Haible Tau Pipe phaser - taking you right back to Sci-Fi movies of the 70s and beyond ... R*S version for eurorack ... built with the resonance modification to allow for self-oscillation.  So this is to show some abuses I felt worth recording - sound source is a Serge NTO for eurorack (VARIABLE OUT or PULSE OUT). No filtering or additional processing except for some reverb ...

Haible Tau "The Pipe" Phaser

Some sound snippets recorded when testing the Dual WASP build for eurorack - using a single sound source (Serge Noise or Serge PCO) and CV from a SEQ8 and a Serge DSG.

A test of my Polyfusion Modular. A simple Sequence. Just checking things out. I'll probably use parts of this for a future tune.

Polyfusion Sequence

Some cinematic sounds made with a Serge NTO for Eurorack driven by logic and a Microbrute (CV / GATE out). NTO run through a Serge VCFQ into a Random*Source Stereo Mixer. Slopes courtesy of Serge DSG mk2. Recorded with a Metric Lio 8. Cut and layered in logic. And yes, reverb was added ;-)

Soundcloud compression seems to have quite a negative impact here, download 24 bit/96 kHz files to get the full sound.

Exploring MANTRA - Complex drones. Only a single Serge MANTRA panel by Random*Source used ... and lots of reverb ...
