Today we take an extended (and 18 month late) look at the pros and cons of Moog's modestly priced Mother 32 semi-modular synthesizer, and try to help you figure out if it's a good launch pad for a journey into modular synthesis.

I wanted to keep this under the 5 minute mark, but it would be doing the Control Forge a major injustice. I feel like it would take a feature film to entirely explore the capabilities of this module.

I had lost power for a bit due to Irma and once I got bored with restringing my guitars, I decided to make a Eurorack module featuring the AI wonders of Alexa. It crashes when you ask it the weather, and to my disappointment, due to most of Alexa's features being server-side, I was unable to get her to trigger gates or CV via the board's GPIO. So this is what I was left with. I'd put a tutorial up, but honestly with the Echo Dot costing $40 on sale and having a 3.5mm jack, you'd probably spend more on parts if you DIY'd it.

Today we're checking out VCV Rack.

Today we look at what I believe to be, by far, the best reverb pedal in existence, and show you why I believe it. Includes guitar, percussive instrument, and synth tests along with a breakdown of every algorithm.

Today I'm testing out, with quite a bit of criticism, what I still believe to be the best reverb on the market for under $200.

A few of my Deepmind 12 patches accompanied by some archived stock footage.

Today is the first of hopefully many guides explaining, from the ground up, how a type of synthesis, technique, or effect works. Feel free to play along with me for free using Dexed!

Let's play around with one of my favorite synthesizers. Its unique design, sequencers, and patch capability make it a true gem, even 15 years after its conception.

Let's clone an instrument's timbre using nothing but sine waves and mathematics on our first plunge into the deep, powerful world of additive synthesis.

Alpha Forever is a node-based modular synth environment that runs as a VSTi. I will attempt to show you it before catching up on much needed sleep.

The TEC USB MIDI Breath And Bite Controller 2

Behringer, nor seemingly anyone properly documented how to use the Deepmind with CV or Gate. So I figured I'd take a stab at it.

I was listening to this for a few hours in the background and decided to share.

I reference Reaktor a whole bunch on my channel, so I figured with it being 50% off ($99.99 USD) until November 30th, I would do a general overview of what it's capable of and how I've used it over the years.

Today we quickly make a laser audio transmitter, laser microphone, invisible laser microphone, and a...underwater CV laser modulator.

I'm a huge fan of the Axoloti Core development board. The reason it took this long to do a video is because I simply don't know where to start!
