Beyond Phaser: Djupviks The Qu's Wild Sonic Mutation

video upload by Lesjamusic

"Welcome to the semi-official guide for Djupviks The Qu — a Eurorack modular phaser inspired by the legendary Lovetone Doppelganger but expanded for deep audio experimentation.

✅ Optical Phaser Technology: Organic, throbbing modulation via LEDs and light-dependent resistors (LDRs).
✅ Dual CV Inputs: Easy stereo modulation or complex, independent control.
✅ Distorted Output: Diode clipping adds gritty, wavefolded textures.
✅ Dry Signal Bypass: Switch from phaser to vibrato and glitchy experimental textures.
✅ "The Qu" Mode: Inspired by an obsolete telephone tracking chip (LM567), it creates chaotic, unpredictable soundscapes, blurring modulation and synthesis.

Named after the alien species from C. M. Kosemen’s speculative evolution book, All Tomorrows, The Qu module embodies radical audio transformation—visually enhanced by Kosemen's own front-panel artwork."
