Analogue session 1 : analogue solutions - Red Square V2

Quick demo of the possibilities of the red square for bass and lead + some drones.

The main beat comes from the filter (resonance in self oscillation). Not a conventional beat but hypnotic.

It's a raw demo with no fx so it's loud and static.

Mixed in logic with some sidechain compression (mode ducking, no gain). And a little touch of exciter and EQ on the main output.

it's not perfect ...but it's a good synth.

The VCA shit, the VCF too (resonance). The EG's aren't fast. There isn't sync on the second vco and on the LFO. BUT the first VCO is great (3 waves available simultanously). RM is great, S+H too. Now i have a Cwejman S1... RS is fatter but S1 a lot more versatile. Telemark is better build but not as fat !

@ArkOdd And og course...all the input and output are great to emphase the system... A mooger 101 to help the VCF, A moog CP 10 for tools...

If you want a versatile and a great sounding modular. Please check Dotcom (if you live in USA) and Mos-Lab (Europe). Mos-lab sounds amazing... the VCO (FAT, FAT, FAT) the VCF sings (resonance is beautiful) and the VCA do his job.

wow, that impresses even me!

Good job!

Sounds awesome... much better than the synth noodling around with the camera mics...

@Knr911 Oh but the filter is what makes it a special synth! If you want a Moog LPF or 12db SVF on every synth you have well... but, the Red Square's filter is unique. It makes it irreplaceable. One of the very few synths I want more than one of, so I can have double the patching. :o

Hi

I'm in the porocess of purchasing a Red Square to someone but I definitely hesitate. I hear bad things here and there about it, about its filter having shitty resonance, its VCO being weak and poor, telemark being better, etc...

Would you recommend this synth?

Plz help

This is a monster!! i Want one NOW!

@FatSynthDude

It's probably that....

Example of it in action: gearslutz[dot]com/board/attach­ments/electronic-music-instrum­ents-electronic-music-producti­on/131650d1250030454-future-re­tro-xs-lfo-stepping-frxslfotom­odular[dot]wav

Best possible explanation I've gotten: "One thing that occurred to me; if the LFO won't naturally oscillate slowly enough, as described, then it may be jumping phase for each MIDI clock input. Maybe you could try at faster clock input, and check for stepping? Just a thought anyway."

@ArkOdd I think my comment got lost in YT's maint. yesterday. Anyway, it's not really "bad" news. It's kind of a neat effect if you just work with it. The really slow stepped sine sounds wicked as a pitch modulator on the Red Square.

Hi

Thanks for that "bad" news...
