"Thanks for watching!
My second tribute to Vangelis's music comes to you in a form of a cover of one of my favorite compositions of his which is Rachel's Song from Blade Runner 1982. I am happy to also share that Yi Ming Sofyia Xue did the vocals for this cover.

Neutral Labs Scrat customizable Steiner-Parker VCF Eurorack module demo

video upload by nyppy

"Available in July 2022 as DIY kit or prebuilt module. See https://neutral-labs.com/scrat

00:00 Intro
00:38 Resonance modes
01:02 Customization (LED)
01:42 Customization (LDR)
01:58 LDR madness
02:33 Preset cards"

Scrat is an aggressive sounding multimode Steiner-Parker filter with a twist: You can change the resonance flavour by plugging in components like diodes, capacitors or resistors (even LEDs and/or light-dependent resistors) directly to the front panel. A set of preset cartridges is also available, which gives you instant access to a variety of filter sounds. You could even make your own. Or go all in and connect some jumper wires to a breadboard for pretty much endless possibilities.

The 2-pole filter (12 dB/octave) supports both high-pass and low-pass mode. Even without external components or cartridges, the resonance behaviour can be changed in various ways via switches on the front panel. Both resonance and cutoff can be fully CV controlled, and the cutoff CV sensitivity can be adjusted as well.

The module contains an adjustable pre-filter drive circuit, which pairs very well with the Steiner-Parker design.

Scrat is available from July 2022 as a full DIY kit from retailers. It's a relatively easy build to complete, with a low component count and no SMD or other tricky parts. A set of 4 preset cards called Nuts (Acorn, Almond, Cashew and Pecan) is also available.

Ambient Explorations pt.35 (Neutral Labs Elmyra) + Moog Subharmonicon and Mother-32

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Decided to make a little top-down shot video with no eurorack this time around. I was using the Neutral Labs Elmyra which I built a few weeks ago, as well as the Moog Subharmonicon for some chords, and the Moog Mother-32 for percussive melody. Hope y'all liked it:)

"In this video build Neutral Labs Nermal which is a great Destructive Distortion Module. Took me about 3 hours in total to build it, but I managed to condense the video down to a little under 30 minutes with some speaking points, and time-lapses in between. Hope this helps with your build!

DIY Build #4: Neutral Labs Elmyra

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Built this organismic noise synth, based on the Lyra 8 by Soma Labs, in around 6 hours or so. Had some trouble during the middle, and kept forgetting to move the build to be in the frame, because I was so invested in not making a mistake on the build. It is not meant to be a guide on how to do it, because I'm not at that level yet, but I guess something for me to look at years from now, and see my growth. The background 'music' was made only on this synth, so it does end up working, and it sounds pretty damn good. I will use it in my ambient videos and some sound design projects.
Cheers!

DIY Build #3: Neutral Labs MEG Eurorack Waveshaper

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

Thanks for watching!
The Neutral Labs MEG kit finally arrived from Thonk from the UK and I was able to find some time and build it. It took me an hour and 47 minutes, and I captured the whole build but managed to condense the video down to 35 minutes. It has some skips and time-lapses, and some hair... I know, I am still getting used to shooting in this format, so I was getting close to the module a few times. Sorry about this. I will pay more attention in the future.

Neutral Labs Meg unique waveshaper Eurorack module demo

video upload by nyppy

"Available in March 2022 as DIY kit or prebuilt module. See https://neutral-labs.com/meg"

"Meg is a unique kind of waveshaper. Instead of folding the wave back in on itself like a common wavefolder, it shifts parts of the wave up or down, with the shifting threshold being adjustable. The resulting 2 half-waves can be flattened one by one, essentially morphing into a half square wave and eventually a full square wave. Essentially, it will add pulse-width modulation (and more) to any kind of wave."

Nermal Eurorack modulated destructive distortion module by Neutral Labs

video by nyppy

Neutral Labs Nermal Eurorack modulated destructive distortion Eurorack module demo

video by nyppy

Prototpy demo posted here

via Neutral Labs

Nermal is a destructive distortion Eurorack module that has some unique sonic qualities. There are 3 levels of distortion ranging from subtle saturation to utter destruction. An integrated modulator can switch or even blend between these modes, with the modulation frequency going well into the audio range, in which case, interesting harmonics and artefacts can be created on top of the incoming audio. Nermal rewards experimentation and unexpected sweetspots can often be discovered along the way. In addition to the onboard modulator, there are external modulation options via control voltages (CV) for the most commonly used parameters. LFOs and envelopes work great, but audio signals are accepted as well and make for the most interesting patches.

Nermal is available from May 2021 as a full DIY kit from retailers. It's fairly easy to complete, with a moderate component count and no SMD or other tricky parts.

Dark Noisy & Glitchy Drone Texture with DIY Neutral Labs Elmyra Synthesizer (Feat Empress Zoia)

video by Sound Provider

"On this small demo I did an Ambient Drone with the Elmyra from Neutral Labs, the Elmyra is a quite noisy but fun and cheap Diy digital/analog hybrid drone synthesizer with a digital delay.

Elmyra is based on the Adafruit ItsyBitsy M0 Express microcontroller. Its 10-bit audio resolution already gives it a wonderfully gritty sound, and this circuit adds some nasty analog distortion to it.

For the video in addition to the delay included in the Synth, I also added a bit of reverb with the Zoia From Empress Effects , the patch I used is the "1978 plate A" from Christopher H. M. Jacques which you can download for free here if you have the Zoia : https://patchstorage.com/1978-plate-a...​

Voila
