Interview? Demo? BOTH! // 10 years of AJH Synth. (Patreon)

The past, present & future of AJH Synth // Celebrating 10 years of the MiniMod Eurorack range

I recently learnt that AJH Synth were celebrating 10 years since the release of their first modules with the MiniMod Eurorack range. Back then I was immediately taken by the quality of sound, vintage tone and open modular architecture capable of taking things way beyond the classic Moog MiniMoog Model D sound. I've got to know Allan over this past decade and we've worked together loads on modules that utterly nail that lush vintage analogue sound and also modern forward thinking new ideas ... so I jumped at the idea of making a celebration video! This video is a hybrid interview and demo video. Allan joined my at DivKid HQ to answer some questions and share his stories and I've made a load of patches showing off the modules. That's all outlined in the timing index below.

I think that's going to be easiest to navigate if you're looking for something specific. *INTERVIEW* 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:59 Welcoming Allan to DivKid HQ 00:05:36 Who & what is AJH Synth? 00:08:55 Early influences 00:09:48 First electronics builds 00:16:22 Getting into modular synths 00:17:42 From 5U to Eurorack 00:18:42 What’s special about the Model D? 00:26:43 Key parts of the Minimoog 00:28:10 Early MiniMod development 00:33:09 Sonic XV 00:39:30 Ring SM 00:41:51 Better sub oscillators 00:46:46 From vintage clones to new modern ideas 00:47:32 EMS Random Voltage Generator 00:49:14 Multi Burst Envelopes 00:53:49 The RadioPhonic system *PATREON QUESTIONS* 00:54:15 HECKSEVEN // impressive module uses 00:55:12 IZAAKTHEGREAT // making the Lunar Communicator module 00:57:12 JGB // new AJH modules? 00:57:40 DARKLORD // entry level AJH systems 00:58:25 RICHARD QUIRK // phaser developments over the years 01:01:53 When do you know something is done? *PATCHES* 00:01:01 HUGE DUOPHONIC MOOG TONE 00:06:18 THE CLASSIC MINIMOOG SOUND 00:11:26 ADDED GRIT WITH A PWM 3 WAY 00:20:27 3 VOICES FROM 1 MINIMOD SET 00:30:38 VCA CHARACTER - DON’T UNDER ESTIMATE IT! 00:35:53 SONIC XV SOUND DEMO 00:43:35 4 OCTAVES OF SOUND WITH THE RING SM 00:50:11 MUSICAL FADING ACCENTS WITH THE MULTI BURST **THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY AJH SYNTH** they have funded the creation of this video, as always any questions just ask.
