Lodewijk Vos (LØ): Modular Synthesis as Sonic Storytelling

Step into the luminous fog of modular synthesis with Lodewijk Vos (LØ), a composer whose hands sculpt soundtracks for film and television. In this immersive exploration, LØ reveals why modular synths are more than tangled cables—they are portals to new musical worlds, offering endless possibility and tactile discovery. Through his poetic lens, we witness modular’s power to shape not just sound, but narrative, emotion, and the very texture of music itself. Prepare to drift through nebula drones, magnetic resonance, and the secret life of noise, as modular becomes both muse and instrument. Some mysteries, of course, are best experienced in

Make Noise Spectraphon: Spectral Bouncing Balls and Echoes in the Array

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of modular mischief, return with a deep dive into their Spectraphon module—a spectral amplitude modulation powerhouse designed for the adventurous Eurorack explorer. In this video, they demonstrate how echoes, dynamic controls, and oscillator mixing can be harnessed to sculpt complex, evolving soundscapes. Expect a patch-oriented walkthrough that doesn’t just show off features, but reveals how Spectraphon’s unique approach to arrays and modulation can transform your rack into a playground of spectral textures. If you’re after nuanced sonic layering and creative modulation, this one’s for you.

Chunky Orbits and Stepped Realities: Make Noise Explores MultiMod’s Shaping Power

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of modular mischief, return with a deep dive into MultiMod’s more eccentric read shapes. This official walkthrough eschews the usual smooth LFO fare, instead focusing on staircase, ramp, and randomised orbits—each offering a different flavour of discontinuity. The video methodically demonstrates how these shapes can be harnessed for everything from stepped modulations to unpredictable gate streams, all while keeping the patching practical and the metaphors suitably crunchy. For those interested in sound design that’s more coleslaw than consommé, this is a must-watch.

Make Noise Spectraphon: Reimagining Resynthesis in Eurorack

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of modular experimentation, take us on a deep dive into the Spectraphon—a resynthesizer module that promises to redefine how we sculpt and manipulate sound in Eurorack. In this inaugural ‘ReSynthesizer Patch of the Week,’ the Make Noise team unpacks the Spectraphon’s unique approach to resynthesis, contrasting it with their Morphagene and highlighting the creative possibilities unlocked by spectral amplitude modulation. Expect a patch-oriented exploration brimming with harmonic sleights of hand, filtering tricks, and a workflow that invites both precision and happy accidents.

MAKEN0ISE: Oscillators as Modulators – Phase Shaving for the Adventurous Patchhead

What if, instead of simply layering slightly detuned oscillators, you turned them loose as modulators for one another? In this latest video from MAKEN0ISE, the Asheville-based champions of experimental Eurorack, we’re treated to a deep dive into phase relationships, detuning, and the peculiar magic that happens when oscillators interact in less-than-obvious ways. The patch on show doesn’t just sum signals—it explores how phase drift and subtle tuning shifts can carve out new sonic terrain, with a healthy dose of frequency modulation and feedback thrown in for good measure. If you’re after inspiration for wrangling more from your VCOs than just
