Lunchbox Sampler

Published on Mar 5, 2013 donaldjasoncrunk·21 videos

"Some patches i recorded using the Lunchbox Easel. check out the previous video [posted here] for a guided tour of the instrument. what you're hearing is the lunchbox, a Boss DD5 and Akai Headrush, and a lil vox. enjoy the excellent timpani sound i happen across by accident!

if you're looking for dry demos, check out the 2 tracks on my soundcloud named 'BRECK' and 'ENRIDGE' . life's too short not to loop.

Please remember to visit www.kamagraphrecords.com and check out my new album 'Yankee Notch'. available on digital or cassette!"

Erthenvar / Make Noise Lunchbox Easel [guided tour]

Published on Mar 3, 2013 donaldjasoncrunk·21 videos

"this is a tour of my new "Lunchbox Music Easel" (suggest a better name in the comments, PLEASE!). i try to explain my reasoning behind the module choices, and how it stacks up against the new Buchla Music Easel. i think it does well! this narrative intended for people with modular synthesizer knowledge. non nerds beware

the next video will be some performances with the Lunchbox easel - the sounds you hear in the background of this narrative come from 2 20 minute sets located on my soundcloud, pure lunchbox performances. https://soundcloud.com/donaldcrunk

mfb drum99 ser#1 unboxing and jam

Published on Jan 30, 2013 FSK1138·163 videos

"mfb drum99 ser# 1 (discontinued)

the drum-99 module is an audio-mixer that has been designed for the modules of the mfb-drum series but also for usage with other manufacturer's modules. when using multiple drum-modules in a modular system, the following processing stages like filters or vcas often lack enough audio inputs. to route a complete drum-set through a filter, a separate mixer like the drum-99 comes handy.

drum-99 offers five monaural inputs with individual level control. tiny trim-controls are used to set the channel panorama position for the internal stereo-bus.

a fixed level stereo-input can accommodate the signal of one or more additional drum-99 modules. these inputs can also be used with the drum-06 module (tom tom) that also offers a stereo-output.

all five mono signals and the stereo-input are routed to the stereo-output that can be connected to two vcas, filters or other sound manipulating devices. the output may also be used to connect the drum-99 to a mixing-console or audio-interface.

the stereo-output is designed for a possible summing with additional stereo-outputs.

the module has a width of 60 mm (12ph)"

"MFB seq02 provides cv to monotron -e vco v/oct

Make Noise MATHS controls monotron-e vco vc and vcf cv

two chanels from the MFB seq02 feed the Maths

as well as the LFO from the monotron-e


FX:
delay and reverb from ensoniq dp4

really looking forward to learning the ins and outs of MATHS

it is a must have in any eurorack"

RichyHo's Rack Planner Updates - Nears Beta & Adds New Formats

Published on Oct 15, 2012 by Richard Horsman

"RichyHo's Rack Planner continues to take shape with zoom-to racks."

Richard Horsman wrote in to let us know The Horsman Modular Planner now supports Roland System 100m and erthenvar/ PulpLogic 1U tile modules. A beta version will be going out to beta testers soon. You can find updates on RichyHo's Facebook page here and discussion on Muff's here. When released, the planner will run USD 20 / GBP 12.50.

Erthenvar Patch Chord Details and Specs

"Erthenvar Patch Chord - a bank of 25 "Oscillator Controlled Oscillators", which can be used to generate chords in a Eurorack system.

The Patch Chord continously samples the cycle duration and duty cycle of the input waveform. It outputs 12 semitone steps above the input note, 12 semitone steps below the input note, and the root note itself (available from two output jacks). All outputs are pulse waveforms with continuously variable pulse width.

An oversized tri-color LED spans the color spectrum in each octave, so each note has a unique color! The input jack is passively multipled to an output jack so the visual effects of the LED can be had even if the module is not part of the current patch.

There four modulation types available, each with an input jack and a three-position switch. The switch can turn off the modulation, allow the CV value to control the parameter, or turn on the modulation. The modulation jacks are all DC coupled and respond to audio rate signals, though the tracked waveform has a lower limit of around 20 seconds per cycle.

The SQR modulation forces the tracked duty cycle to 50%, making all of the 25 outputs into square waves
The INT modulation changes the relationship between each output from a semitone step to an integer or harmonic step
The ZERO modulation resets all of the output counters to 0, similar to a sync function
The HOLD modulation stops tracking the input and keeps the last counted cycle duration and duty cycle values

This module requires +5V from the bus board! We offer the freelunch as a +5V solution.

Features

Eurorack power cable and M3 screws are included
A total of 25 oscillator outputs tracked from 1 input
RGB LED with color-per-note functionality
Four "ACV" audio rate CV inputs
C&K switches

Specifications
Eurorack horizontal pitch 22 HP
Depth 60 mm (2.36")
Maximum Input Current (+5V) 65mA
Maximum Input Current (+12V) 65mA
Maximum Input Current (-12V) 65mA
Input Impedance 112kΩ
Input Threshold 600mV
Output Impedance 1.2kΩ
Output Swing +/-5V"

Erthenvar Patch Chord as fake arpeggiator

YouTube Uploaded by siebenjager on Mar 9, 2012

"Terrible audio/video quality, just got a Patch Chord and wanted to show proof of concept on how it could be used as a fake arpeggiator.
PATCH:
4 outputs (+7, +12, -12, -5) going into VCA Matrix and being scanned through by quardrature outputs of Dr Octature. Signal is being run through Doepfer Wasp filter.
Pressure Points gate output is being used to "freeze" Dr Octature via an inverted envelope to 1V/oct in. PP pressure output is slewed then used to open filter.
Also, one of the unused outputs of Dr Oct is going through a comparator then used to step PP when not being played."
