Hey Mylar, Doc Sketchy here, designer of Korgasmatron and Dr. Octature. Another excellent demo! However, I notice that your Doc Oc is oscillating when the Q pot is about halfway. There is a trimmer on the board which allows you to place the point of self-oscillation more or less wherever you want on the Q pot. It's called QTRIM. So, just put the Q knob where you want self-oscillation to start (I prefer about 3:00), and then adjust the QTRIM trimmer until it just starts to self-oscillate. Voila!

The A-103 was my favorite of this shootout. Awesome video, I love module shootout videos like this so much because it gives you a great comparison in a controlled environment.

Thanks for cranking up the knobs :-) I also much appreciate that you don't use annoying sequences, like many others do, to demo the sound.

The best eurorack demos on KZfaq. Was looking for a decent demo of the octature for a while, until this came along and first time showed the pure filtering it can make. Thank you Mylar

I love my ms 20 but I really love the expansion options or a modular synth. I'm that guy that takes 30 mins to make a character in a video game

I want an MS-20 and now they are quite affordable plus you can patch them to modular gear too!

Great stuff Mylar!!! I realize there is only so much time you have with each video, but the Harvestman Polivoks Filter, Mannequins Three Sisters and Manhattan Analog Discrete SVVCF filters are some of my personal favs. SO much great stuff out there right now. Keep up the FANTASTIC work!!!

As a beginner and in the process to build my first Eurorack. This helped me lots in the way to decide what kind of filter/filters I could add. I am a huge fan of the MS-20 but had no idea what filter to get and most of all what filter that sounds most accurate. Thank you very much for both explaining and showing the differences between the filters you have in your Eurorack! Thumbs up!

Excellent demo of filters! I can really tell which one I need.

Nice selection of sweeps, very helpful

Alex could talk about anything and you would be fascinated. Zen gardening, contemporary art, bread baking, Norwegian politics, Forgotten card games, lost kittens, sappy novels and yellow earplugs.

Doepfer A106-5 SEM with full level and resonance, makes my toes curl!! ❤

25:15 Regarding recap, hearing them all together I really like the Octature, SEM, & Post Lawsuit.. probably in that order.

When I started in synthesis, I just thought that the components were simple, but when put together, make something beautiful. But in the past few months, I've realized: if I want a modular, there is no such thing as a 'basic' lpf or 'basic' oscillator! Everything has its own flavor, which, in turn, create a beautiful dish of a synthesizer!

love this video .... again !! thanks Mylar

The Doepfer VCO is great if you want that old tone. Cheap and has vibe. Choose wisely with the VCF, a mixer that can drive and vintage type VCA and you can get some great classic sounds. Your right in mentioning not to over look Doepfer.

Dude, Great video. You never see this type of explanation side-by-side . Bravo thanks 👍😎

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Has given me some direction that I needed!

"I'm gonna' buy this now. I'm gonna buy it..." Haha!

excelent demo, thanks!

Your "american - southern" accent at 5:40 "from the sublime to the ridiculous" is hilarious. You could do some amazing voice acting, cause your delivery and regular accent/voice is also Ace!!!!

Awesome video, I've been trying to decide between a.com and or euro rack set up. Love the thoroughness of your video if you offered a class on analog synthesizers I would take it! Cheers!

Ha, Prophei... friend of mine. We use to work together years ago at M-Audio. Love your videos by the way; my favorite is the Intellijel Metropolis video you did... and this one of course, excellent!

Great work Alex! :)

P.S. DivKid is my next patron guy thanks 2 you both ! No Divmas for me but much love!

Great video as always - you couldn't wrestle the Korgasmatron II and Dr. Octature II from my cold dead hands.

zz240 tiptop prophet 5 filter my fav by far a very clean organic sounding beast . cheap too ! and a vca

oh hey! ahah love your videos!!! more please!!!

great it would be awesome to hear more sweeps. it would be cool to have a site full of sweeps using the same VCO at the same frequency.

Like! Great comparison on some great classic synth filters. I suggest more of this: Polivoks-filter (from e.g. Ericasynth), ladder filter (Moog themselves put it in a Eurorack-format) etc.

Love the Doc Ock, I got the v1 tho, is the v2 worth it?

Thank you for this wonderful video. Would the Behringer ARP 2600 be able to get that same sound as Post-Lawsuit LPF?

Another top-notch video Mylar. Or "Ace", as you'd put it. :)

Mylar what are your thoughts on the new Morgasmatron and Bifold from Intellijel? Are they still ace? I am loving the Quadrax and expander.

the doepfer a-106-6 xpander filter is also so much bang for the buck. probably one of my doepfer favs besides the wasp and 303 type. but all the doepfers are so cheap and sound so good.

Hey just a quick one what was that album? I didn't catch the name of it in the video?

My goodness, this one must be one from a little back! your case has so many "opportunities" between your modules. I haven't seen it where it isn't jam packed full of little buddies !

A great test for my new in ear momentum by senheiser phones 😍😍😍😍😍

Any mellower filters out there? Really looking to find one.

Have you tried a manhattan SVVCF ? I’d love to hear your thought on it. Seems to be an uncontained squelchy beast and was wondering how unique that is?

what's that weird fish bone looking appendage on the right of the wasp filter?

Prophei taught me through the first couple years of eurorack

Ok whats your fav. SEM filter? as a patron I ask ? several months now so not a gold member but its time I ask an opinion ?

people need to listen to this on headphones, how many times did my eyes start to cross on the filter sweeps? I now have major GAS for filters and creating a list to buy next

I love them all especially the...actually just all of them! No Moog clone?

Brilliant!

What is that 1hp patch cable organiser? Seems genius

nice one!

Great vid, I particularly enjoy the manic laughter when you hit a great tone. I have the wasp and love it but are there any other really unique filters I could also look at?

Hey thanks so much for your videos! I've been messing around with monosynths for about two years now and that video you made of the Metropolis really got me excited about jumping into modular. I just love the idea of infinite soundscaping potential. Would you mind telling me what VCO you used in this video? Are there any VCOs you'd recommend for someone who's just getting started?

them doepfer filters are ace

Hi Mylar, have you ever got a chance to compare the Korgasmatron to the Dual Borg in filter mode? In terms of functions I know they are a lot different, but I was wondering if they were any similar in terms of tone... The Borg seems a little less clean though.

i don't know about the *doepfer 106* (SEM). it sounded fairly standard in this video whereas the *bubblesound SEM20* sounded juicier and more rubbery in another video. it's really hard to compare between videos, but the 106 just didn't jump out as unique & exciting in this video like the 124 WASP does. it'd be interesting to see a same vs same clone shootout eg. all SEMs, WASPs, MS20s or polivoks etc. the WASP was the real standount here. so far, the "best" filters i've heard, besides the aforementioned 124 WASP & bubblesound SEM20 are the intellijel polaris because it covers so much territory (wet, grungy, fat & vocal) and the synthesis technology E440 which sounds extra juicy (more like what i think of as an ARP2600 sound than the "meh" post lawsuit filter in this demo) and MAYBE the erica synths polivoks based on the "cheesy" (in a good way) sound of their complete polivoks synth clone, but i wonder if maybe polivoks & WASP filters are more alike than different.

17:40 straight up gear porn :) this was great!

I too wanted an MS20 but realized it was the filter I wanted and that I could buy one based on the MS20, and costumize the rest of the synth as I wanted. I guess you'd have to pay some 100 euros more for a complete eurorack synth, but still worth it, though. Depending on how you work and what you know about synths, I should add.

"Ouchie!"

Mad props for mentioning John Carpenter👌👍 my favorite director of all-time! the score he did for "BIG trouble little China" and "Prince of Darkness" is the shit!🎹🎧💫💀😵👌👍

great video and overview. I heard the epoch modular twin peak recently and really love what it can do..have you come across one? All the best

1:22 was absolutely beautiful could you explain that patch please ?

When you say 'tuned' at 3:06 it sounds just like a cartoon race car driving past.

Do you have the Doepfer VCO patched into something else before going into the filters? Totally new to modular (and pretty new to synthesis in general!) Absolute loving your videos - clear, informative, entertaining and inspiring. Thanks! *EDIT* I bloody LOVE that Wasp!

Best part of video 'screw that'

'damn, that's it!'

1:45 his voice goes full Kermit for a second there

when i eventually build a modular ... there will be a SEM filter ...

4:43 5:04 holy moments

Dr Oct for the win....but budget-friendly sem will do nicely.

Filters are magic

what vca you are using?

So.... are all (or most) filters modeled after prior art ? (old synths) ?? What filters are "new", using modern chips or modern transistors ? I realize there is a desire to clone classic synths.....but..... The Threeler ?......Sisters ?

5:30 sounds like the filter on the volca keys

After 4:00 you can see the bass shaking the camera, I believe.

the wasp is so aptly named. sounds like a swarm of the little bastards at times :) i want 2 :)

the MEANEST synth, hands down, has to be the the metasonix ALL TUBE S-1000 wretch machine. NOTHING sounds like that

Send in the clones, there has to be clones. :)

I was laughing along with you, that wasp is FILTHY!

Prophei?

I have one filter module - the monotron

Lovely video, but could someone tell me who at STG decided it would be a good idea to waste about 4 hp on ONE JACK????? Just put it on the left with all the rest for the gods' sakes!!

R2D2 right at 10:38

American accent: DOPE-fer. British accent: DERP-fer.

speak to my hand

post lawsuit lpf? what the fuck

...You fried your A-109, didn't you?

get Kshmr or madeon or oliver or avicii

that unusual?

:-)

I've been in Euro a year. Got a Wasp as my first and only filter for a while because of your other demo. I seem to be becoming a filter junkie. This video isn't helping.

Future Music... If u interview zedd I will give you 20,000 dolars

people saying how amazing analog is.....constant buzz sound under all audio.,.....cool bro
