SUBTLE TO SAVAGE! // ST Font by NANO Modules (Eurorack Stereo Multimode Filter & Saturating VCA)
video upload by DivKid
"Hello and welcome to this video on the ST Font Eurorack multimode, saturating, wild resonating filter demo! ST Font is made by NANO Modules and builds on their ‘liquid filter’ design from Font and makes it stereo and adds a load of new features. This demo goes from the raw sound and features through more basic patching, expanding things from mono into stereo, working with stereo and a variety of sources through to more advanced synthesis and modulation options. Patches all below, skip around as you like!"

With a dual filter core (one for each channel), it offers a massive liquid sound with smooth resonance, adding warmth and depth to any audio signal.
Dual-core Stereo Filtering
Independent filter cores for left and right channels with Low Pass, Band Pass, and High Pass modes, plus seamless crossfading between filter outputs.
Integrated Stereo VCA
Built-in stereo VCA with soft clipping, adding warmth and harmonic richness to your sound. From clean amplification to heavy saturation, enhancing tone before it reaches the filter stage.
Dynamic Resonance Modes
MILD keeps the resonance smooth and musical, ideal for classic filtering effects, while WILD pushes the resonance to its limits, delivering intense, aggressive sounds with heavy distortion that brings an extra edge to your signal.
Stereo Span Controls
Dedicated FREQ Span, RES Span, and MODE Span knobs allow you to create a wide, immersive stereo field by adjusting the spread of Frequency, Resonance and Mode across both channels."

PATCH BETTER! with Dual Slopes & Function Generators // with ARC from NANO Modules
video upload by DivKid
"Join me for this video packed to the brim with patches that you can apply to LOTS of modules (some of which you may already have) on the use and importance of slopes and function generators. Learning how to use them and the range of things they can do allows them be the backbone of a modular system that will bend into your ideas and provide way more than the simple interface may suggest.
This is also a demo of the new 'ARC' from NANO Modules. A dual slope/function generator with added bipolar VCAs and logic that as you'll see in the video and timing index below - is highly capable of many things!"
via NANO Modules


Each channel can function as an Envelope generator (AD/ASR), an Audio & Low-frequency oscillator (VCO/LFO), a Slew limiter, and a Waveform Modulator (VCA/Polarizer), with specific trigger and signal inputs.
Envelope Generator AD/ASR
Use the Rise and Fall controls to create simple AD envelopes for punchy and percussive sounds.
For ASR envelopes, turn on the Sustain switch! The envelope will rise to the peak and hold there while the Gate is active.
Audio & Low Frequency Oscillator
ARC features RISE & FALL frequency adjusts and a SPEED switch with three positions (slow, mid, fast) to cover all possible needs.
Turn on the LOOP switch to convert the function generator into an oscillator.
ARC can generate a huge range of frequencies, from 10 minutes cycle to 1000Hz for producing both audio-rate signals for pitched sounds and ultra slow waveforms for modulation purposes. Slew Limiter & Waveform Modulation
Slew Limiter. Smooth out abrupt changes in CV & audio signals to create filtering and portamento effects.
Waveform Modulation. Adjust Rise and Fall shapes to create logarithmic, linear, or exponential shapes over your input signal.
VCA & Signal Inversion (POL)
The VCA/POL adjusts the volume of the signal, acting as a traditional VCA for dynamic level control. Additionally, the POL function modifies the polarity, enabling both positive and negative modulation for more complex sound shaping.
The OFFSET function can add or subtract a voltage from -5 to 5V to match the required signal range.
Logic Section
ARC includes a X > Y gate logic output, which compares the two function signals and outputs a gate when X is greater than Y.
Additionally, the module provides the SUM of X and Y functions, as well as OR and AND logic functions."

What if VCV Rack was real? // VCV Random by NANO Modules
video upload by DivKid
"In an interesting full circle turn of events, VCV Rack that emulates Eurorack hardware how now come to life as Eurorack hardware in the new VCV Random module from NANO Modules.
VCV Random is a Eurorack hardware version of the VCV Rack Random software module. It's a flexible and modulate-able multi output random generator with some novel features, namely, a step shape control that adds increasing numbers of steps between random values and a 'RND' crossfade control that crossfades the sampling of internal noise and the output. The latter resulting in a unique way to control voltage changes per step and one that can modulate over time.

via this auction
"Unique synthesizer / Sequencer. This is an incredible piece of Musical Technology. It's call the Lorre-Mill Double Knot V2. Comes with 7 Banana Cables (good quality ones too), Original Box, Power Adapter, Printed Manual & Unit. Start using right out of the box. If you never owned one of these before, then your in for a Sonic Shock as you Patch & tweak the 2 Sequencers on board.
You may be asking what is this?
Well the Double Knot is a Semi-Modular synthesizer/Sequencer & is a collection of some analog blocks and simple digital logic blocks to construct Electronic sound patterns. The interface is made up of knobs, switches, and banana plugs for patching. Inside the Double Knot synthesizer there are two voices.
Each voice consists of a Triangle/Square wave oscillator, a shift register sequencer, an enveloper and a voltage controlled amplifier. To set the tempo of the shift registers there is a clock. Functional blocks associated with the clock are an XOR gate and a binary counter. One of the aims of this design is to provide the most flexibility while still having some shape to the piece. The envelopers are triggered by the shift registers unless the trigger inputs are used. The triangle outputs of the oscillators are fed to voltage controlled amplifiers. This makes the Double Knot semi-modular. This system can be used to make complex textural sounds and FM Drones, or Techno Drums at Polyrhythmic Intervals.
This is the V2 version which has enhanced and newer features such as newer enveloper design with mode switch to set trigger mode, loop mode or off. wide range cv input can nearly halt envelope mid-decay for sample/hold type output. trigger input in lieu of the fill input from the previous model.
The shift registers on this unit are CD4015 with 4 bit R2R DAC on the first four stages and logic outputs on the last four stages
Also to add to the percussive effect we can shape the envelopers by feeding the outputs back to the CV inputs and then tweaking the knobs to get the shape to a more dramatic slope. ● Lengthen the decay by turning the decay knob counter-clockwise and add positive modulation by turning the CV level knob clockwise. Now you are bouncing.
One amazing Feature on this unit is the FM Modulation. The FM section allows easy modulation of one oscillator to the other or both at the same time. with a knob for FM amount, a CV in jack that allows control of FM index and a toggle switch to set the modulation routing
This is indeed an amazing piece of Technology. I truly enjoyed this and will miss it a lot. I have a few Youtube Videos so feel free to browse my more recent Videos. just go to youtube and type in the search engine rhampton1914 and my latest is there. An open box Video is on this link."

NANO Modules ALT // basic to advanced patch techniques AM synthesis, auto panning, sidechain + more!
Published on Jan 14, 2020 DivKidVideo
"Here’s ALT from NANO Modules. A quad VCA module in an 8hp Eurorack format. Three channels features both manual gain (level, bias or offset) as well as CV inputs with CV attenuversion (attenuation and inversion) which gives lots of control and opens up the module to sidechain and ducking like FX as well as easily making auto pan FX too. The fourth channel is a more basic VCA with input, CV input and output. This is normalised open until you plug in a signal which is useful for the onboard mixing. ALT is also a mixer, either for basic mixing of audio or CV, for CV mixing, for cascaded mixing (2x 2 input mixers, 1x 3 input mixer + a VCA …). This video aims to go through the basics to more advanced patching answering the age old modular questions “WHY YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH VCAS!” Going from basic amplitude control to full on AM synthesis and patching up other FX and dynamic modulations of modulation. For those comfortable with how VCAs work skip ahead with the timing index below to get right to the patch tips.
