Modular+Eventide Space

Playing around with the prototype of the 2015 Tau edition by Random*Source - built with 10 super-matched, low noise THAT300 transistor arrays. The build is an (early) attempt of a +/-12V adaption, but was run mostly on +/-15V during recording(!) with messy preliminary wiring and not really calibrated, so it may sound/behave different from a properly built +/-15V (or correctly modified 12V version). Anyway, I hope it still gives an idea of what 20 poles sound like ...

Haible Tau (20 Pole) phaser / flanger (R*S version 2015)

Exploring the resonant side of the Serge Resonant EQ (R*S edition for Eurorack, layering 2 live recordings, each basically using nothing but the EQ:
- Perc track was made by running a pulse from a DUSG into Input 1 and each 4th of those pulses (using a Pulse Divider) into Input 2 and playing with the 10 bands and the Feedback knob / Phase switch
- Drone track uses the normal (triangle) out for Input 1 and the Gate out from the same DUSG (running in Cycle mode as an oscillator) - again only playing with the bands and feedback.

Listen on good speakers at high volume :-)

Some raw waveforms run through the amazing Wave Multipliers (VCM)- licensed Eurorack version by Random*Source - exploring all 3 sections (individually, i.e. only one section used at a time).

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

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.
