Cereal Instruments RESOLUTION

video upload by Cereal Instruments

"RESOLUTION is four precision faders that can be used to send out or attenuate voltages.

CONTROLS:

Knob - For each of the faders, use the knob to set the level of attenuation when the fader is on full. To do so, put the fader fully open then adjust the knob until the module is sending out the most voltage that you would like. Now the fader will act only from zero to this point.
Fader - The faders attenuate the voltage signal for each channel, allowing voltage up to the maximum set by the knob above.

INS/OUTS:

Inputs - Are normalled together as a buffered mult from left to right. So you can plug in one cv signal and get up to four outputs with different attenuation. The first input is also normalled to a +5v offset (this is provided by a 5v regulator and does not require power from the 5v rail).
Outputs - As you would expect.

TECH SPECS:

10hp
21mm depth
17ma at +12v
14mA at -12v"

Cereal Instruments RAZE

video upload by Cereal Instruments

"RAZE is a simple but unique sounding 4hp distortion module, capable of destroying sound completely.

CONTROLS:

Raze - Controls how destructive the distortion is, from subtle hard clipping to totally broken fuzz. When the control passes the halfway point, the signal will get slowly more destroyed over time and will regenerate when the control is put back before this point.
Volume - Sets the output level of the effect. Can boost or attenuate the signal. This is particularly useful when switching the effect in and out. With the raze control on zero and the push on full the volume can push into harsh limiting clipping.
Push - Sets the amount of gain pushing into the distortion circuit.

INS/OUTS:

Input/output - As you'd expect, keeping RAZE small and simple.

TECH SPECS:

4hp
21mm depth
8mA at +12v
8mA at -12v"

Cereal Instruments - 'mesh' (EXPLANATION & DEMO)

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"(TO SKIP PAST EXPLANATION STRAIGHT TO DEMO: 1:27 )
'Mesh' is allows you to passively, mix, mult and attenuate in a small 8hp size.

Available soon on our reverb shop. [find their modules here]

NOTES:
Note 1 - 'mesh' is fully passive. Whilst this means that the mults are not suitable for pitch or sometimes triggers (where a buffered mult is needed), it means that it doesn't take up a power slot, it's skiff friendly, and a very low cost and easy DIY build at just 24 componants.
Note 2 - 'mesh' is suitable for both audio and cv signals.
Note 3 - What colour should production model knobs be? Answer in the comments below."

"Multi Utility Passive Eurorack Routing Solution

'Mesh' allows you to passively, mix, mult and attenuate in a small 8hp size.

At its core, 'mesh' is 6 attenuators. However, each row's set of 3 inputs are normalled together so that it can act as an attenuatable passive mult.
Also, each column has it's top output normalled to the bottom, allowing you to mix the top and bottom rows when nothing is plugged into the top.

This means 'mesh' can be, for example:

6 attenuators // two attenuated three-way mults (that can be mixed or separate) // one three-way mult and three attenuators // two dual input mixers and two attenuators

*to name a few :) *

Additionally, 'mesh' is fully passive. Whilst this means that the mults are not suitable for pitch (where a buffered mult is needed), it means that it doesn't take up a power slot, it's skiff friendly and makes for a great quick or beginner DIY build.

-As it is passive, it is recommended that 'mesh' is only used with professionally produced modules. We cannot be held responsible for any damage to products."

Cereal Instruments THUMP // Vactrol Based LPG & VCA with distortion (Eurorack module)

Note this is the first Cereal Instruments post on the site.

"'thump' is a versatile vactrol LPG & VCA with distortion. 'Thump' allows you to send two signals through a gritty vactrol amp with low pass gate modes & plenty of gain pre & post distortion."

It's also available as a DIY kit. The following is the build video:




And an overview by DivKid:


DivKidVideo

"Here’s the new THUMP Eurorack module from Cereal Instruments. It’s a 6HP Vactrol based LPG / VCA with added distortion and character. A rotary switch let’s you select VCA mode and 3 increasingly steep filtering options. There’s two inputs with a crossfader, CV input for the gate level and a make up gain control. It distorts and adds a quirky character easily but backing off amp CV and gain lets you clean things up.
