First Play: CZ-VCO & Strakal Brulu

Published on Oct 21, 2016

"First play with these two modules, also testing whether the camera still works. CZ-VCO'S EASTER EGG IN THE DESCRIPTION.

PATCH NOTES

Clocked and sequenced from Ableton Live using the Arturia MicroBrute as sound source and as CV interface for the CZ-VCO.

The two voices go into the Optomix (used as dual VCA) and on into the Pittsburgh Modular MIX3, which isn't more than a buffered mult to feed the two inputs on the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP.

The Z-DSP is my end-of-chain reverb and running the Valhalla card, obvs.

Maschine and Mutable Instruments Peaks supply the drums (the latter being sequenced from the Beatstep Pro).

Touellskouarn eurorack Strakal Brulu! Fuzz: First test

"Just finished soldering and assembling the Touellskouarn Strakal Brulu! Soviet Germanium Fuzz!
Kit sold by Thonk

Simple broring Sequence: no musical intent... just to test the module

During the test you'll hear some A/B comparison (dry seq/processed seq) and some envelope decay and filter resonance tweaking out of camera.

ALERT: during the video some HIGH resonance and feedback!

Testing Eurorack TB 303 Acid Setup Style

Published on Nov 24, 2017 Sound Provider

"I m testing for a future 'Leonard de Leonard' Live and tracks a Roland Tb303 acid style Modular synth setup.
For this setup in my Doepfer case I use the Metropolis Sequencer from intellijel.

For the sound I use the M303 from acidlab through the crazy Strakal Brulu Fuzz and the Make noise Echophon Delay.

For modulation I use 2 Ornament and crime, One is in Sequins mode to trig the Accent and the slide of the M303 and the other is in Mata -q mode to add 3 octave from the metropolis to the M303.

I use also a 4MS pingable Envelope generator to modulate the M303 filter.

I still have to improve this setup but I already like it a lot, it's very fun to play. If you have proposal or question fell free to say it.

For this video I did a very quick drum line with drum shot from the http://www.sound-provider.eu/ Analog Sound banks

Some world from schneidersladen about the Modular synthesizer is use:

Acidlab - M303:
The M303 is an entire synthesizer voice and to be exact a clone of the TB-303´s analog circuitry in a single Eurorack module. Imagine it as a modular vesion of the Acidlab Bassline without the sequencer but with aditional CV inputs instead.

Intellijel Designs - Metropolis:
Very intuitive eight-step sequencer inspired by the RYK-185 project. It shines with different trigger modes, glide, rest and skip per step, it has swing, a quantizer and a clock generator but the most wicked function is that each step can be repeated before proceeding to the next one. Combined with adjustable length per step you get an instant Techno generator! An awesome machine.

TouellSkouarn - Strakal Brulu Koavonek:
Directly from the Brittany in beautiful France comes the Strakal Brulu, a handmade distortion and fuzz module. The great sound is due to the new-old-stock east-german germanium transistors.

Make Noise - Echophon:
The Echophon flips the script on the trend of software based emulation of analog gear! Tony Rolando from MakeNoise and Tom Erbe from Soundhack prsent the Echophon, a DSP based Echo and Delay module for the Eurorack modular system. It is a digital echo with an unique pitch shifting alogorithm, smooth time modulation, tempo synchronisation and feedbacks with saturation. All parameters can be voltage controlled.

4ms Pingable Envelope Generator:
The Pingable Envelope Generator or PEG is a dual digital envelope generator. The duration of one envelope cycle can be forced-to-fit between two "pings". This means that the envelope will perfectly fit into a rhythmical scheme!

Kea Da Strakal Brulu : Germanium Fuzz
"The Kea Da Strakal Brulu is a versatile transistor germanium fuzz box in an eurorack panel. Specifications are the same (ie input/output levels, impedances) as a boutique germanium fuzz pedal. The module is intended to be used with a guitar input, but can work with line levels too. Or can choose to use a VCA, or an attenuator before or after for more control over the tone and gain.
Features :

8HP / Laser Etched plexiglass, vintage finish
Selected NOS AC 128/125/1256 germanium transistors
Rare NOS French Knob
Eurorack Standard supply, red facing down
Hand-wired, Boutique quality, Made in Plougastel.
10 only ! Numbered limited edition
Stupid Breton name

Operation :
Plug in and out, respect polarity supply, ( RED IS -12, like eurorack standard
red should be down) set gain as needed.
Different sounds can be achieved with the instrument's knob.

Stompboxes & Modules are individually hand-wired with high-quality
discrete components in Plougastel."

TouellSkouarn Strakal Brulu {Re Greñv Eo} Pedal

"The Strakal Brulu {Re Greñv Eo} is a versatile transistor germanium fuzz box.

Features :

Laser Etched red painted Hammond Box
Selected NOS Russian germanium transistors
Input/output volume / Feedback / Fuzz with CV control input (+expession pedal)
Handy Knobs for controlling chaos
9v Standard supply, center pin negative
Hand-wired, Boutique quality, Made in Plougastel-Daoulas.
Stupid Breton name
Operation :

Plug in and out, respect polarity supply, set gain input/output as needed. Different sounds can be achieved with the instrument's big knob in conjuction with the other knobs. Module is instable by nature (germanium transistors) and can produce cv controlled chaotic fuzzes and squeals.

Knobs :

Left --> input volume, set gain as desired
Right --> output volume and High Pass Filter, the more volume
and bass on the left, less volume and less bass on the right.
Middle --> Feedback
Down --> Fuzz control with cv in attenuator, the more fuzz and cv control with the knob on the left, you can plug an expression pedal into it too."

Acidlab M303 Feat 4ms Pingable Envelope Generator (for Eurorack Synth Acid Modulation)

Sound Provider

"One Eurorack combo I use all the time on Live or Studio for Acid tracks since many years is the combination of the Acidlab M303, a clone of the iconic Roland Tb303 with a Sync LFO from my fav Modular Synth Envelope Generator, the 4ms PEG, It add so much musicality , very simple but very effective .
On the video I record the acid part of my future track with Mectoob "Les Pigeons" (https://www.instagram.com/gael_mectoob ) I use the 4ms to module the cutoff of the filter.(this is a Raw Version I think I ll edit a lot before final Version)
What you don t see on the video: I use random "-1oct down" and random "Slide" with the Hermod from Squarp instruments, I also Use the Strakal Brulu from Touellskouarn to overdrive the Acid Sequence.I also did a little mix."
