Instruō - cnōc Overview

The Instruō cruïnn is an analogue stereo oscillator that utilises through-zero phase modulation to create deep, animated textures.

On top of its single sawtooth oscillator core, cruïnn produces five additional parallel phase-displaced sawtooth variants – each controlled by their own discrete internal triangle waveform LFO. With both on-board and external control over the LFO rates and modulation depths, cruïnn effortlessly creates, super-super-super-super-super saws, lush pads, phasey basses, and chaotic effects.

With cruïnn’s included passive 4 HP Expander, access to all six waveforms are available. Add to that the ability to individually displace the phase of each waveform via CV and cruïnn becomes an amorphous swarm of harmonically rich sawtooths.

• Stereo and summed outputs
• Six phase-displaced sawtooth variants
• Five internal triangle waveform LFOs
• Global rate and depth modulation controls
• Built-in stereo VCA
• Linear and exponential frequency modulation
• LFO functionality
• Includes 4 HP passive waveform and CV expansion module

Cruinn-Expander

The Instruō cnōc is a fully analogue voltage-controlled two stage function generator. This style of function generator was pioneered by the West-coast mindset of sound synthesis and goes far beyond the functionality of a traditional envelope generator. With AR, ASR, and Looping modes, as well as its unipolar positive and bipolar outputs, cnōc finds its home in any patch.

Whether you need a general envelope generator, LFO, delayed gate signal, or a slew limiter to add portamento to your pitch sequences, cnōc fits the bill.

• AR, ASR, and Looping envelope modes
• External control over Attack and Release stages
• Unipolar positive and bipolar outputs
• Assignable gate output
• Manual trigger button
• Slew limiting functionality
• Two response curve settings

Arbhar Advanced | Supersynths, Beats & Polyphony

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The Instruo Arbhar has been a top 5 personal favorite module since I got it two years ago. I read the manual back then, went through all the features, developed a handy workflow and forgot most of the features again. Well, you can't use the things you don't know, so I've been limiting Arbhar's creative potential in my patches for way too long. This video started with the idea of just watching Jason Lim's 01:47:00 video and make notes about things I forgot, didn't know or brought me to new ideas. I must say I completely rediscovered the module as a polyphonic synthesizer. If you have an Arbhar in your rack, you may be in for a treat :)."

Instruō Introduces cuïr and làrachd Eurororack Modules

Instruō - cuïr Overview video upload by Instruō

"cuïr is a highly compact module designed to provide optimised output signals for interfacing a modular system with professional and consumer audio equipment.

In addition to the pair of balanced TRS outputs there is a high quality headphone driver with its own independent level control.

The stereo balanced outputs feature high quality low impedance differential line drivers. These are designed to drive long cable lengths and operate equally well with balanced transformer or transformerless inputs.

A pair of high quality balanced 1/4" cables are included with the cuïr. These cables are braided, 150cm long, shielded and feature gold plated TRS contacts. Using these cables (or any quality balanced TRS cable) the cuïr can be used to connect modular systems directly to mixing consoles, microphone preamps or any other pieces of professional outboard audio equipment.

• Stereo modular level to 1/4” balanced line output
• High quality 150cm balanced cables included
• Dedicated headphone driver"

Batman Cave-Inspired Suspense-Driven Eurorack Piece (Instruo Modular, Make Noise, Qu-Bit)

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
Recently rewatched Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy, which was composed by Hans Zimmer, and was heavily inspired to make this piece by the eerie sensation of inside the Batman's Cave, surrounded by bats, water, and fear itself. This modular piece is the calmer, yet eerie interpretation of what I felt while watching it. Using a combination of Instruo Modules, and Make Noise Modules, and most importantly using self-oscillating filters of the Qu-Bit Tone, for the purity and different sound than a standard oscillator. Detailed patch notes on Patreon, as usual. Cheers!

Performance // Granular [Tetra] Grid // Instruōctional Patching

video upload by Instruō

"This patch is broken down in depth in my next Instruōctional Patching video which will be live premiering on Sunday 20th February at 6PM GMT.

This is a performance recording of a patch I created while experimenting with The Tetragrid from Manifold Research Centre.
There are several patching techniques used that I have been experimenting with lately that lend themselves well to harmonic patching as well as much more experimental compositions.

Core Techniques:
• Chaotic cross modulation with magnets (Hail the donut)
• Complex circular FM tones from Cš-L
• Rhythmic gating over index ratios, wavefold depth and signal amplitudes
• Granular/reverberant spatialisation using arbhar
• TZFM as tone generator and processor simultaneously
• Harmonic chord voice using Harmonàig/Saïch

The composition is much more aggressive and textural than my usual. Too much caffeine perhaps… or not enough?
I built the patch to be very hands on and immediate for manipulating the voices. The Tetragrid allows for a wonderfully chaotic interaction between its 6 modulation sources. At times things can stabilise and produce musical ostinatos but simply touching the interface will quickly mix up the patterns.

The algorithms defining the cross modulation in both the instances of audio sources and control generators are circular in nature and with dynamic influence over their ratios. They produce very diverse ranges of complex tones and patterns that can naturally stabilise.

A full written breakdown of the patch and access to the patchnotes can be found on the Learning/Patching page on Instruō website:

Instruō Chordal Ambient Tape Delay Patch // Instruōctional Patching

video upload by Instruō

Performance video here

"Core Techniques:
• Harmonic chord progression using Harmonàig/Saïch
• Cascaded pitch shifting delay
• Sub-harmonic waveshaping with through-zero frequency modulation
• Rhythmic textural "bird noise" by oscillator cross-modulation

This is quite a dense patch with a lot of subtle modulation and some interesting waveshaping techniques involved. Fundamentally it is a patch using 3 parallel voices as audio sources which are mixed via multiple crossfaders.

The primary voice is the harmonic aspect which utilises a Saïch controlled by a Harmonàig to define the chord progression basis of the composition.
The Harmonàig can either be controlled via CV for preprogrammed/randomly self generated progressions, or can be manually played in Performance Mode.
When a new Root note is defined, the GATE output controls the Cèis ADSR which triggers a cascade of events that influence the patch.
The Cèis envelope output (acting as an AR) sounds the chords through a VCA which routs to the Lúbadh, which is configured as a tape delay.

Various gate and trigger signals from the Cèis clock two S&H modules as well as toggling signal routing for variations in parameters such as interval offsets on the Saïch (which introduces tension tones to the chords), input mix of the Saïch voice between the Lúbadh's decks and varies the index ratio of the Cš-L's complex voice.

There is a parallel bass voice which follows the root of the Harmonàig chord progression and is triggered by the primary voice's ADSR envelope (Cèis).
The tone is produced by the trigger output striking/pinging the I-ō47 filter which is tuned to match the Root of the Harmonàig voice. The percussive tone from the Band Pass output is waveshaped via a tanh[3] channel to restrict its amplitude and add a bit of saturation to the timbre. This signal then modulates a neóni configured in TZFM configuration to act as a waveshaper over the tone.

The High Pass output is converted to an aggressive unipolar positive square wave signal via the AND gate of the eãs. This signal is used in parallel to the TZFM waveshaping to soft sync the neóni at the audio rate of the Root note frequency. This clock signal patched to the soft sync input is toggled on and off via a latching switch (tàin) controlled by the release stage gate output of the Cèis.
The result when the soft sync is engaged is a sub-harmonic introduced to the voice.
As the voice is triggered at each segment change of the ADSR this gives a longer rhymic meter that nicely matches the harmonic rhythm of the composition.

Finally, there is a generative textural voice which sits in the higher frequency bandwidth to serve as a chaotic percussive element somewhere between hi-hats and bird noises. This comes from a self modulated Cš-L. The sine wave of oscillator B is used as the sound source. The resulting tone is gated through a VCA by the OR logic result of oscillator A's PWM voice (inverted at the eãs ~ gate) and the clock pulse of the Lúbadh's left deck. The Lùbadh clock is the stable element in this gating signal as the Cš-L is fundamentally unstable due to extreme cross-modulation.

The cross-modulation is exponential on both oscillators and the wavefolder of oscillator B is used to modulate oscillator A which is in LFO range.
The wavefold depth of oscillator B is modulated in addition to the FM depth via the INDEX control.

For final seasoning, an øchd is used to add additional movement to the patch keeping things more dynamic. Vibrato is added to the Saïch voice using the first LFO from the øchd tunes to ~4-5Hz. This vibrato naturally softens the the voice as it is reverberated and echoed in the Lúbadh."
