Intro to Modular Synthesis – Part 1 of 3: Control Voltage

video upload by Robots Are Red

All parts here

"Looking to get into modular synthesizers, or just curious how they work? Join me in this video where we go back to the basics with an introduction to modular synthesis. In part one of this three part series we will talk about the main building block of modular synthesis, control voltage. Breaking control voltage down to it's most basic 5 types: LFOs, Stepped Voltage, Triggers, Gates, and Envelopes.

Razor (1:1 MI Blades)

video upload by After Later Audio

"The next installation in our MIC line of modules is RAZOR (1:1 Blades) a dual multi-mode filter with a lot of wonderful features. 11/16/22"

"This is an exact hardware replica of the Mutable Instruments Blades module.

Our model uses the original 'hard-to-find' opamps, but we do substitute V2164M with AS2164D. All of our products use AS2164D and there should be no measurable change in behavior."

After Later Audio CLOVERLEAF: Intellijel Case Interface

video upload by After Later Audio

"Cloverleaf is an interface for the case 1/4" jacks in Intelljel cases. The jacks are marked as if they are part of the case, so the jacks marked out, require an input. I know it's confusing, but my brain just may be a little backwards.

The module sports both input and output for either a consumer line level (0.447Vpk) or a professional line level (1.095Vpk). These levels are controllable via jumper on the back of the module. It can also have a single input and output channel switched to pedal level. The case output is fed to the headphone amp that has a corresponding level control. The module otherwise does not have any level control and relies on using a VCA or other module to perform any level controls.

The module can essentially be run in one of three modes:

1) Stereo line level in and out

2) Stereo line level in and out via the left side and mono pedal in and out on the right side. In this mode the stereo line levels leverage TRS on the 1/4" jacks. You can use the included 3.5mm couplers to get TRS on the 3.5mm side.

3) Mono line level in and out via the left side and mono pedal in and out on the right side.

For Palette 64hp users only have two 1/4" jacks. You can choose if you want to use the case jacks as either inputs, outputs, or one input and one output."

See this post for additional details.

Sum+Inv (Sum and Invert)

video upload by After Later Audio

"This video covers using Sum+Inv to create quadrature signals out of Cascades' Sine and Cosine outputs..

About Sum+Inv:
Two identical channels with two inputs and two outputs. For the first output the two inputs are summed (at unity) and the second output the sum (at unity) is inverted.

The second channel is identical to the first channel but it normals channel one summed output to the first input. This enables a 3:1 configuration with both a summed and inverted output.

This is a great companion to the COCO system."

VALLEY: Wavefolder/Tiber Generator and Mixer/Crossfader

video upload by After Later Audio

"Valley is both a mixer/crossfader and wavefolder/timbre generator.

Some key features:
Five stage wavefolder
Input crossfader between the two inputs
Output crossfader between the fundamentals and folded signal
Odd and even harmonics
CV control over all parameters
Tuning and sync controls for connected COCO oscillators"

BROOKS: Thru-Zero VCO/LFO

video upload by After Later Audio

"Brooks - Brooks is a smaller thru-zero 4hp basic VCO that has all the basic waveforms, FM control, sync, and Time Reverse which simply reverses the wave. While it is a fully capable oscillator it works best as a modulation oscillator in the COCO system."

After Later Audio CANYON: Sub-harmonic/Stepped CV Generator

video upload by After Later Audio

"Canyon is a sub-harmonics generator with two sections fed by two different clock sources. The first section offers odd sub harmonics, dividing the clocks by 1, 3, 5, and 7. The second section offers even sub harmonics, dividing the clocks by 2, 4, 6, and 8. These two section outputs are then mixed together via a voltage controlled crossfader. The outputs can either be used in the audio range to create rich sounds or used at slower rates as CV sources, even patched back into one of the oscillators. Each side of Canyon can also be clocked independently, which can lead to some rich tones."

After Later Audio Cascades VCO Overview

cascades 1 video upload by After Later Audio

"This is an overview of the Cascades VCO as a stand-alone module.

Cascades is our most fully featured analog oscillator. Some of the unique features are:

Through zero FM oscillator
Morph output with CV control to morph between TRI, SAW and PUL waves.
Octave switch to simplify tuning
Cosine output - fun for stereo - also for going full analog quadrature with our SUM+INV module.
VCO and LFO ranges
Amplitude modulation built-in with either offset or full wave rectification for the modulating wave.
Switchable mod wave output between morph out and SIN (jumper on back)"

See the announcement post here.

COCO System Part Two: VALLEY

video upload by After Later Audio

"This is an overview of the COCO System with the Valley (Upper-Harmonics Generator) control module used as its center-piece.

With the COCO series the aim is to bring all the goodness of a complex oscillator while aiming to minimize some of the downsides. The main thing that I appreciate about complex oscillators is that you can have a lot of fun without having to patch too much. By default, you can get some very deep sounds that go far beyond the standard bleep and bloop. On the downside, complex oscillators are big and have a fixed set of capabilities.

The COCO series allows you to choose your oscillator features and choose your control module and connect them all together into a complex oscillator. You can then break them down and each module also works as a standalone module as well. So when you need that extra oscillator for your performance case, you can break the system down and use it accordingly."
