Abstract Data ADE-60 4:4 Mix Utility & ADE-51 VC AHDSR Tutorial Videos

Published on Dec 5, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Following up from the release of the lovely little ADE-50 3x VCA [video here] here is the ADE-60 4:4 Mix Utility from Abstract Data. It's a great little mixer, attenuator, attenuverter, amplifier, inverter and any mix of all of those at any time depending on how you set it. It's quick simple and incredibly useful!"

Abstract Data ADE-51 VC AHDSR

Published on Dec 12, 2017

"Here's the third new module from Abstract Data and it's another fantastic module this time in the form of a voltage controllable - attack, hold, decay, sustain and release envelope generator. To go alongside the ADE-51 VC AHDSR is the ADE-50 3x VCA and the ADE-60 4:4 Mix Utility. It's a great trio of modules so check out the videos and grab one, or three of each as I want multiple of them to dot around the system."

Abstract Data ADE-50 3x VCA

Published on Nov 9, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's the new ADE-50 3x VCA from Abstract Data. A mega handy, totally discrete, all analogue VCA capable of working with audio and CV. There's examples of using all 3 VCAs to expand a basic audio path, one for CV and another for AM modulation (audio rate amplitude modulation, try it, it's ace!). Timings below should you wish to skip around.

00:30 Intro / features
01:31 Expanding audio patching
04:13 VCAs for CV modulate your modulation!

Abstract Data new modules & prototypes // Synthfest 2017

Published on Oct 16, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Justin from Abstract Data takes us through new modules and prototypes. There's the new AD-50 3x discrete OTA triple VCA, ADE-51 VC AHDSR, ADE-60 4:4 Mix Utility and the new prototype Event Boss and ADE-40 Shaping VCO.

Abstract Data ADE-32 Demo

Published on Dec 14, 2016 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Octocontroller, from Abstract Data, is a complex modulator used as a commanding controller for Eurorack modular systems. It has eight different outputs which can be assigned to 12 different functions from Sample n holds to LFOs and clock dividers. There is a master clock and external clock input to use the Octocontroller as a master or slave clock, as well as a reset input to synchronization. For as jam packed as this module is, there is no menu diving, with all the parameter settings visibly presented by the LEDs. For a compact system, this is the ultimate module for all clocking and modulation needs."

DSI Pro 2 + modular jam (Mother 32, Octocontroller, µVCF)

Published on Jul 11, 2016 Seen From Space

"The legato brassy notes are the modular, the Octocontroller LFOs unpredictably modulating both filters. The performance controls on the Pro 2 alter the oscillator balance and filters to give constant shifts in timbre. Just a touch of breathy choral pad from Omnisphere."

"Baby's first modular patch! A self-playing one, using 4 channels of the Abstract Data Octocontroller to modulate both filter cutoffs (HPF on the Moog, BPF on the Intellijel) and the Moog's LFO rate."

Abstract Data Logic Boss Eurorack Module

"One of the most underrated simple yet imaginative Eurorack modules out there. Along with the inevitable Make Noise Maths this was the module that made me realise the capabilities of a modular system compared to other hardware synths and sequencers. Feed this module a couple of clocks or triggers and have a potential 12 rhythmic trigger/gate combinations to use."

Dorkus-18 Eurorack modular synthesiser patch

Published on Feb 2, 2016 Luke Killen

"This pretty patch sees a Mannequins Mangrove VCO modulated by a Abstrakt Data ADE32 and then filtered through a Sputnik Quad VCF/VCA (in VCF mode) with a Frequency Central X envelope acting as the VCA envelope and as modulation for the VCF. The 'plink' is a Mutable Instruments Rings being modulated from a variety of sources including the Absract Data ADE32 and 4ms PEG. It is being strummed by a SSF Propagate and the 1v/oct melody is from a Make noise Rene. The kick is from a mutable Instruments Peaks, the Snare is from a Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteratus, and the bass drop is from an EG modulated peaks in 'Fold' mode."
