Getting Started: Modifying CV with attenuators and offset modules

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Control voltage doesn't always need to be used exactly as it's generated. Sometimes, making small adjustments to a CV signal is the key to getting the sound you're after.

This video is part of our Getting Started blog post:
https://noiseengineering.us/blogs/loq...

One of the most common ways to modify CV is with attenuation.

Here, an LFO is modulating one of the Blendex inputs on Toros. At full strength, the modulation is dramatic. By attenuating the LFO signal using a module like Lapsus Os, we reduce its voltage range, creating a much more subtle effect.

Next, we’ll switch Lapsus Os into bipolar mode with a flip of the channel’s switch.

And then there's offset.

Here, we're using Sinc Pr avus to add an offset to the same LFO. The modulation keeps its shape, but its entire voltage range shifts, changing where it begins and how it interacts.

Whether you're using Lapsus Os to fine-tune modulation or Sinc Pravus to shift it into a different range, modifying your control voltage gives you more expressive and precise control over your patches.

The Filternator from Kanawha Music & Art - vintage-inspired resonator

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We look at the Filternator from Kanawha Music and Art, a Eurorack module designed to recreate the sound and behavior of vintage high-Q filters or resonators, like those found in instruments like the Solovox. It's circuit is based on capacitors and inductors, which can be switched on and off to change the frequency and resonance of the module. It is also passive and doesn't require any power.

We take a close look at its behavior with a controlled oscillator signal from our trusty Arturia MiniBrute 2, including CV-based mix modulation. We then try it out with an electronic organ sound from our Cherry Audio Blue3.

New Make Noise 208hp 7U 4 Zone CV Bus Case and CV Big Bus!

Press release follows:

Make Noise is proud to announce our new 208hp 7U 4 Zone CV Bus Case and CV Big Bus!

The 208hp 7U 4 Zone CV Bus Case arrives ready to be put to use with your modules, patch cables, and inspiration. The powder coated metal construction offers excellent mechanical durability. The mounting rails have been updated to black anodized tapped strips, replacing the sliding nut design of previous versions of the case. The lid is removable and can be closed with the system fully patched. The bus boards now includes 31 shrouded headers for connection to modules. The sleek matte black finish was selected to match our line of Black & Gold modules, and it looks great with just about any module installed. This finish will wear nicely, showing the story of your modular synth's travels over the years.

The Make Noise 4 Zone Power system is a new approach to accommodating the ever growing universe of Eurorack modules. The multi-zone power solution is like having multiple independent power supplies in a single case. This allows for isolating noisy modules from noise sensitive modules. Each Zone features isolated +12 VDC and -12VDC supplies and a dedicated ground return path. Included are 31 power shrouded connectors to help prevent incorrect installation. The total available power available is +12VDC @ 4A, -12VDC @ 2.4A, and +5VDC @ 1A.

The CV Bus is a more functional approach to the “multiple” utility of the modular synthesizer. The CV Big Bus is an evolution of the original CV Bus design from 2013 for Alessandro Cortini's personal Make Noise system. In an effort to accommodate the increased modulation density of the New Universal Synthesizer System, the CV Big Bus doubles the channel count from 4 to 8. These 8 channels are distributed across the center of the system, allowing for quick, clean, and intuitive patching. The numerical indicators are illuminated, providing visual indication of channel number, level, rate and polarity for up to 8 signals to be shared throughout a patch. This distribution method is unlike the typical multiple since the control signals will appear beneath their potential destinations, resulting in less cable mess. The color coding and visual indication makes navigating complex patches easier and more intuitive. Typically, the CV Bus would be used to share the most important control signals in a patch, such as your clock, modulation, sequence, and audio signals - any type of signal the system creates may be shared!

A high quality Stereo Line Driver converts modular synthesizer signal levels to the commonly used Line Level. There are mini-jack inputs for Left or Mono, and Right for Stereo, a single master volume control, as well as a stereo line output pair. The left output doubles as a TRS ⅛” headphone output. These outputs are capable of driving a long cable out to a PA System or a set of Headphones. They are AC coupled with a built-in limiting circuit (with visual indication) that prevents damage to ears and PA system when the patching gets experimental.

Reso Legio: Karplus-Strong voice+resonator on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Reso Legio is a Karplus-Strong physical-modeling voice and resonator that creates plucked strings with different resonant body types.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Let's start with Body. This changes the resonant body between acoustic guitar, violin, and banjo.

Decay controls how long the string rings out, taking you from short, tight plucks to long, sustained tones.

Brightness shapes the high-frequency character of the string.

Then there's Chorus. Choose between off, medium, and deep settings to add movement and dimension to the voice.

And since Pitch tracks 1 volt per octave, you can sequence Reso just like any other melodic voice.

The Excite inputs let you bring in external audio and send it through Reso's resonator, turning other sounds into string-like textures.

Reso is just one of many free firmwares available for Legio. When you're ready to trade physical modeling for something else, connect over USB and your Legio can become a whole new module.

Moog Micromoog & Modular w/ AJH/MiniMod, Hermod+ analog synth jam

video upload by DreamsOfWires

"Testing my faulty Micromoog with some helpful modules from AJH Synth: My poor old Moog isn't scaling/tracking correctly, so the V-Scale module is being used to modify the 1V/Oct output of the sequencer to produce the correct notes. Video guide to how this was achieved: • Correcting Vintage Synths with V-SCALE - T... [below]

Normally the Micromoog follows a 0.95V/Oct voltage to pitch scale, but mine can no longer even be calibrated to this with it's internal trimmers, so until it can be serviced (probably with some new components), the V-Scale at least makes it useable with external controllers and sequencers.

Sequenced by the Squarp Hermod+, the synth's faulty tracking is then corrected using AJH Synth's V-Scale module, gates coverted by the AMSynths AM997 Gate to S-Trig converter.

Micromoog filter modulated by AJH Tap Tempo VC-LFO, random gate skip by AJH CHance Delay.

Drone is 3 AJH MiniMod VCOs into Matrix VCF.

Mixed in the Cosmotronic Cosmix Pro, reverb from FX Aid, delay from 2HP DLY, final mix recorded on the Disting Mk4."

Correcting Vintage Synths with V-SCALE - Tackling Tracking & Tuning Problems #ajhsynth

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Using V-SCALE to compensate for the tuning/tracking problems on one of my Vintage Synthesizers, this time a Moog Micromoog from the late 70's. Also, showing how PRECISION VOLTAGES can also be helpful, and bringing the TAP TEMPO VC-LFO, CHANCE DELAY, and the MATRIX VCF into a short performance demo - FULL performance video by ‪@DreamsOfWires‬ can be found here: • Moog Micromoog & Modular w/ AJH/MiniMod, H... [above]

V-SCALE at its simplest will function as a highly accurate buffered multiple, but four of its five outputs are adjustable by way of multi-turn trimmers. These allow for very gradual adjustments to outgoing CV signals, so that they can be made viable for synths or VCOs that are not scaling properly.

Here I'm adjusting/modifying a 1V/Oct signal from a sequencer so that it controls my old Micromoog correctly, but it could also be used with incoming signals other than 1V/Oct, or even to correct am incoming signal which itself isn't scaling correctly or as desired. Each trimmer has an adjustment range of +/- 5%.

My Micromoog's tracking is so far off that it cannot even be corrected using the internal trimmers on the synth, so I'm using the Keyboard Output (KBD) as the CV input, instead. of the intended OSC input. This method bypasses the keyboard, so the keyboard voltage isn't added to incoming control voltages, and so doesn't interfere with it. The only drawback is that the root key will have to be changed to match the notes on a keyboard. That's where the PRECISION VOLTAGES comes in - it can accurately offset an incoming control voltage by semitones and octaves, either up or down."

Klang Legio: Crazy drum with zappy percussion on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Klang Legio is a wacky midrange percussion voice based on the Basimilus engine, built for zaps, hits, and all sorts of wild drum sounds.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Let's start with Decay. This takes your hits from short and snappy, into ringing percussion.

Impact changes the character and punch of every hit.

The Harm switch changes the harmonic structure of the voice, while Spread changes how those harmonics are distributed.

And of course, you can sequence or modulate Pitch, quickly turning those percussive hits into zaps, drops, and other melodic weirdness.

And a press of the Pitch encoder gives you a quick mute.

You can also bring in other sounds into the audio inputs, mixing them right into Klang's output.

Klang turns Legio into a pretty unusual percussion voice, but that's only one possibility. Swap the firmware over USB and your Legio can become a different drum, synth voice, effect, or processor.
