Sound designer Anton Anru shared this video preview of Circuit Maze, a new collection of 50 patches for Moog Labyrinth semi-modular synthesizer.
“I wanted to fully explore Labyrinth’s capabilities, dive deep into its unconventional workflow, and have fun with its distinctive sequencing approach, which is unavailable on other synths,” notes Anru. “The result is a collection of 50 patches designed to inject unique and evolving patterns into any track or performance.”
The soundset is provided as a PDF document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. Anru adds, “If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn a lot about the synth and discover its true depth.”
*Note: Because of the Labyrinth’s generative sequencing features, your sequences will be different from the ones demonstrated in the preview video.
