Meska’s Filter Bunker: Erica Synths Resonant FB Gets the Rave Lab Treatment

If you think filter banks are just for polite EQ-ing, think again. Meska of the statik collective runs the Erica Synths Resonant Filter Bank through its paces, turning what could be a clean lab tool into a filthy, feedback-laden party starter. With a sharp eye for experimental tricks and a taste for techno chaos, Meska digs into the module’s quirks, clocked oddities, and digital wizardry. This isn’t just a demo—it’s a guided tour through the underbelly of a modern filter bank, where presets morph and white noise becomes a playground for sonic mischief. Don’t expect hand-holding—do expect some heavy inspiration.

The Unperson’s Braids Banger: Mutable’s Macro Monster Still Slaps

Mutable Instruments Braids: the digital macro oscillator that rewrote the Eurorack rulebook and still kicks like a drunken horse. The Unperson dives into his favourite Braids engines, showing off filthy chords, crunchy wavetables, and the kind of modulation tricks that’ll make your rack sweat. No hand-holding, no endless menu-diving—just straight-up patch action and hard-won opinions. If you think Plaits is the only game in town, think again. This is a rave bunker tour of Braids’ dirtiest, most musical sides, with enough patch ideas to keep your modular rig up all night.

Metamyther Unleashes Industrial Mayhem: Four Bricks Rook vs Mystic Circuits IDUM

Ready for a proper sonic punch-up? Metamyther drags the Shakmat Four Bricks Rook and Mystic Circuits IDUM into the ring for a session of industrial IDM chaos. Forget polite, predictable beats—this is all about glitchy, unpredictable mayhem, the sort of racket that’d have your nan calling the council. Metamyther’s cinematic-industrial approach meets raw modular grit, and the results are as filthy as a Camden pavement after a Saturday night. If you’re after clean, safe techno, jog on. But if you want to see modular gear pushed to the edge of a nervous breakdown, this is your jam.

Frap Tools, the Italian maestros of modular design, take centre stage with a deep-dive into building and performing a true polyphonic modular synth—one that can be played with a keyboard and sequenced simultaneously. In this video, Francesco Gennari reconstructs his track ‘Studio No.7’ from the ground up, revealing not just the patching intricacies but also the creative decisions behind each voice. Expect a blend of classic Frap Tools elegance, clever routing, and a healthy dose of formant oscillator wizardry, all aimed at those who see their modular as more than just a wall of drones.
