DecadeBridge FOUR - Drone synth/Utility & CV Source

video upload by DecadeBridge

FOUR - CV Source

video upload by DecadeBridge

"FOUR is a 4 oscillator ( surprisingly) drone synth/utility instrument.
The 4 square wave generators are grouped into pairs and routed through 1 of 4 NOR logic gates. The outputs of the logic gates can then be mixed together to create stacked drones and chords.
FOUR can also be used as a CV source or to gate/trigger other equipment.

The Haunted Arcade of the DecadeBridge Triad (Drones, Noises, Glitches and Rhythms)

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The DecadeBridge Triad is a unique little Synth module that generates drones, rhythms, noises and glitches - it sounds, to me at least, like a haunted arcade in the 80s - malfunctioning machines, wailing, whirring and bleeping. It's based on a trio of analog oscillators arranged in a fairly unique, raw and unpredictable arrangement. It works great as part of a drone or noise setup, makes for excellent sample fodder, and thanks to the neat "reset" input it can play along with drum machines and sequencers (especially paired with a little low-pass gate).

Designed by DecadeBridge
TRIAD is a 3 oscillator square wave drone/noise/glitch synth.

The 3 oscillators drive and reset each other in different ways depending upon the switch/button settings. an external trigger, gate or clock can also be used to reset 2 of the 3 oscillators.

Download the manual here.

Knob style and knob/button colour may vary depending on stock.
A connector for a 9 volt battery is included with Triad. Triad can also run off a 9V !!CENTRE POSITIVE!! WALL ADAPTOR.

Designed and built by hand in Cheshire England

Shallow Grave free cascaded filter effect plug-in

video upload by DecadeBridge

"Shallow Grave is a free filter effect for Windows and Mac.
it comes with a small bank of presets to get you started.
I find it works best with arpeggios and sequenced synth lines or full sounding synth chords but it can create a range of sounds including slow moving filter sweeps and glitchy, tripped out almost distorted sounds.

VaCA - 3 x Passive VCA/LPG

video upload by DecadeBridge

"VaCA is a passive eurorack module that features 3, switchable, VCA/LPGs for processing audio or CV signals. CV inputs are normalled so that a single CV signal can be used for all 3 VCAs/LPGs.
Channel 'C' can be switched between it's own CV input or a mix (bias) between CV inputs A and B.

DBMix - 3 Channel attenuator/summing mixer

video upload by DecadeBridge

"DBMix is a 3 channel passive attenuator/summing mixer module for eurorack.

It can be used to attenuate individual CV/audio signals or as a switched mono/stereo summing mixer. When used in stereo each channel's PAN control can be utilised to pan sounds left or right or when used with a CV signal as a type of crossfade to send the signal to two different destinations.

"Jump to the timestamps below.
Ampulla is a contact mic instrument that comes with interchangeable plates and all the hardware required to put together your own noise box. It also features an external input for a contact mic or to use the preamp as a subtle distortion for other equipment.
Ampulla also has a drone voice that can be switched on and off. This is also affected by the onboard contact mic or incoming external signal.
Ampulla's first output is a mix of the contact mic and drone voice. It's second output is solely for the drone voice.

"Quatrain comes with Boost. A dirty pre-amp/distortion effect.

Boost can be used with Quatrain to create a feedback oscillator.
Here I'm using them and two cheap guitar delay pedals to create a variety of drones, noise and texture patches."



via DecadeBridge

Quatrain ships with Boost which is a dirty preamp/distortion effect that can also be used with Quatrain to create a feedback oscillator.

knob style and colour may vary depending on stocks.

Quatrain is a passive 4 x 4 Matrix Mixer that can be used in a eurorack system or standalone. It allows you to mix CV or audio signals together and then adjust the amount sent to the 4 outputs using the 16 pots.

Quatrain is passive and draws no power from your eurorack system.
Eurorack size - 24 HP

Features:-
4 inputs for Audio, CV or feedback paths (4 switched inputs for rows 3 and 4).
4 Outputs to route the input signals to.
4 x Linked attenuators to change the amount of the signal sent to two outputs with a single pot.
16 Attenuators.

Mute switches for inputs and outputs.
Compatible with eurorack dimensions.

When using with a eurorack system the back plate doubles up as a blank panel with some gorgeous artwork from https://www.instagram.com/jack_sl0w/

HAP - Eurorack dual Bernoulli gate logic utility

video upload by DecadeBridge

"In this patch I'm using HAP to trigger 3 Prok drum modules, 4 Rample samples 3 envelope generators and seeding Mutable Instruments Beads. The trigger input is taken from Pam's pro workout through the Coeo passive mult. One of HAP's outputs is also sent through Coeo to gate the doepfer A140 and 1 of Rample's samples.

HAP is a 1 in, 10 out, dual Bernoulli/AND gate logic module for eurorack. When HAP receives a gate or trigger at it's trigger input it randomly selects (based on it's settings) to set one of it's outputs high (2 x 2 Bernoulli gates).

It features probability (1|2) and Skip for both Bernoulli gates and switchable CV inputs for both controls.

It also features 5 AND gates that are set high depending on the state of the Bernoulli outputs and 1 extra random output that is on or off for 50% of the time."
