Matrix VCA - 4MS Eurorack module Demos

Matrix VCA - 4MS Eurorack module - Demo 2

Published on May 12, 2012 by DJjondent

"The inputs on the left receive:
A: CV from AutoBot (AcidLab)
B: LFO (Doepfer)
c: LFo (Pittsburgh VILFO)
D: CV from MakeNoise WoggleBug

Outputs from Matrix go to the VC 303 Bass Synth.
(Its a TB 303 clone in Eurorack modular form).
A: Pitch
B: VCF
C: VCF
D: Slide

Its Great fun to play my "matrix connections".
I think that it would probably be better to install this module flat ... next to a keyboard or ribbon controller.

The 16 control jacks allow modulation of the output signals with CV."

VCA Matrix - 4MS - Demo 1 (modulates Gotharman Yamaha CS)

Published on May 11, 2012 by DJjondent

"A friend once said to me that you can never have enough VCAs or envelope generators.

Well with the 4MS VCA matrix I now have 16 new VCAs.

First demo is keeping things as basic as I can
to demonstrate how to get started.
Here I'm just using it as a CV mixer with 1 VCO, 1 filter, 1 sequencer, and 2 LFOs.

Inputs are on the left (y-axis).
outputs are on the top - horizontal axis.

Input 1 :Cv from Modcan touch sequencer
Input 2: LFO (square wave) Doepfer A145
Input 3: VILFO (saw) Pittsburgh modular
Input 4: Gate from Modcan touch sequencer - Doepfer A140 ADSR (envelope Generator).

Output 1: CV out to VCO (Doepfer A110).
Output 2: cv to's mod 1 input
output 3: Cv to Gotharman-Yamaha CS filter's mod 2 input

Please excuse my odd camera angles as I move around the modular."

Matrix VCA - 4 MS - Demo 3 - CV modulation of VCAs

Published on May 12, 2012 by DJjondent

"this is the 3rd CV Matrix demo for the 4MS eurorack module.

Is this arty experimental music or just noise??
It can be a pretty wild beast.
Some of the raw sounds are very good ... so maybe it's time to sample.

For the record.
4 VCOs input on the left (channels A-D)
the audio exits from the top (Channels 1-4) into a mixer.

Sequencer: Autobot_AcidLabs
Some of the modulation inputs I've left un-used.
into others I've plugged LFOs, noise, the WoggleBug, Snazzy FX dreamboat, etc etc.
Modulating just 1 or 2 chanels with CV and leaving the rest untouched might work out better.

It's a great module nonetheless.
Well done 4MS."
