Intro to Eurorack Modular by @Flux302

Ken Flux Pierce (@Flux302) had been getting a lot of questions about getting into eurorack, so he did an article and a video on what he has found so far.

The full article can be found at http://fluxwithit.com/intro-to-eurorack-modular/

He will be updating the article and adding to it with both videos and written chapters.

Here is the first video:

MusikMesse 2014 Alex4 Booth with Dieter Doepfer

Once again, SonicState has made a nice video from the MusikMesse booth of European Distributor of analog synths and Eurorack modules Alex4.

The Alex4 Distribution booth with the big tagline "...you like Synths?" included MFB, KOMA, Doepfer, and Meeblip anodes, amongst other smaller (European) brands.

The SonicState booth-tours are almost an annual ritual, often with owner Andreas Schneider (from SchneidersBuero /SchneidersLaden) showing the whole booth and some of the new goodies...
This time Dieter Doepfer shows the new stuff, focussing on the Dark Flow, the stand-alone version of the A-157 Trigger Sequencer (Mini Schaltwerk) and some of the OEM/DIY products.

SiteTip: Modular Sub-Reddit

In case you didn't know already:

The Modular Sub-Reddit is an extremely valuable source of all kinds of (Eurorack and other) modular news, videos, tips and tricks...
Besides that it is also a nice discussion platform that can always use more participants.

Find it at http://www.reddit.com/r/modular/

The community doesn't seem very talkative so far (which is strange for modular lovers), so please subscribe, vote articles up or down, join the discussions and add your own links...

Thank you in advance for your help and input!

Random Video: Epoch Modular 'Benjolin' with Doepfer A-143-9 and A-135-1 by isvisible

Another nice Eurorack video by isvisible popped up on Vimeo today:

Video: Epoch Modular 'Benjolin' with Doepfer A-143-9 and A-135-1

Epoch Modular 'Benjolin' with Doepfer A-143-9 and A-135-1 from isvisible on Vimeo.
" I wanted to make a video showing off the many facets of the Benjolin, but got carried away with it and only covered a little bit.
There were only three modules used... an Epoch Modular version of the Benjolin (originally designed by Rob Hordijk), and two Doepfer modules, an A-143-9 Quadrature LFO which is modulating the VCA's in the A-135-1 Quad VCA / VC Mixer.
The A-143-9 is in turn being modulated by the Rungler out on the Benjolin.

Four audio channels were taken from the Benjolin and into the Quad VCA.
1 - LPF.
2 - XOR.
3 - HPF
4 - PWM
There was slight panning of the four channels in my mixer (Output 1 slight left, to output 4 slight right) then recorded with no external effects or any additional modulation."
