Introducing Pip Filter & Pip LFO by ALM


video upload by ALM TV

"The 'Pip Filter' is a compact 4HP voltage controlled 2 pole low-pass filter with resonance and built in VCA. Here we take a look at all the features of the module.

The filter cutoff is controlled via both knob control and dual CV inputs with a built in attenuverter. Resonance is manually controlled and will reach into self oscillation with rough V/Oct tracking. A trigger input allows the filter to be pinged for percussive plucked type sounds. Finally, a built in VCA (normalled open) allows for additional independent amplitude control of the filtered signal.

The “Pip Filter’ provides a classic lowpass filter sound in a small form factor with many useful features for sound sculpting."

Introducing Pip LFO

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'Pip LFO' is a compact 4HP all analogue low frequency oscillator with a wide frequency range, voltage control, numerous outputs, reset input and a VCO mode. Here we take a look at all the features of the module.

The frequency of the Pip LFO is set via a manual control and voltage control input. The module features a unipolar square wave output along with both bipolar and uni-polar triangle, saw and sine waveform outputs. When VCO mode is activated, the frequency jumps to audio range and will track V/Oct for approx 5 octaves. A reset input allows the LFO waveform cycle to be reset and produces hard sync functionality in VCO mode.

The Pip LFO’s compact design makes it easy to add a modulation source and an analogue voice into any system."

CANON: NEW EURORACK MODULE by LARIX ELEKTRO


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

LARIX ELEKTRO CANON, Eurorack module OVERVIEW

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"New Eurorack module:
Add a musical canon into your setup !
Clocked delay for CV and GATE.

Delay events from 1 to 16 steps.
LOOP mode.

Of course, as usual, with CV and trigger controle of all parameters.

Module available now, here: www.larix-elektro.com"



"WHAT'S THAT THING ?
The CANON, is, as its name suggests, a module to create a canon effect (!) between 2 voices.

Wikipédia: Canon_(music)
A theme that is repeated and imitated and built upon by other instruments with a time delay, creating a layered effect.

In the modular world, it's Simply a delay for CV and GATE.
But unlike an audio delay (that records audio at 'audio rate') the CANON records data only according to a clock signal.
With the CANON module, you can delay until 16 steps.

The CANON can delay one GATE and one CV
(+1 CV with an extension).
Of course with CV controle of the number of steps. With the unique knob: Nb Steps.

To be more playable, there are two more functions:
Reset (RST), to clear the memory, that can be useful to not let the sequence running if you don't want that.
Enable (EN). In this case, the input is ignored. The module will works like a small sequence memory of 16 steps.
The Nb Steps knobs will controle the duration of the loop.

To resume, The module needs a Clock signal (CLK)
A CV and a GATE input.
And you will have the same things as the input, shifted !
Then a Reset button + Jack to clear the memory. (RST)
And a Enable button + Jack to freeze the memory. (EN)

With an external module, like the Mult., you can delay one more CV.

Typical use:
Building musical canon.
Save and play with the sequence in the memory.
creative re-construction of sequence."

Crossing the threshold: New Systems Instruments’ “discrete map”


video upload by Electrum Modular

"New Systems Instruments sent me their new module, Discrete Map. It’s a deep module, with lots of potential uses, so I’ll be dedicating the next few videos to it. This first, introductory video uses it as a generative sequencer, extracting an evolving melody from a Lorenz chaos trajectory."



"Novum! New Systems Instruments has created a unique and innovative approach to generating sequences with Discrete Map.

New Systems Instruments consistently surprises with innovative designs! Discrete Map fits right in, taking a simple concept and turning it on its head. At its core, it’s an 8-step sequencer that can output a traditional step-by-step sequence. The pitch values are set using the eight upper faders, but what makes it truly special are the eight lower faders, which determine which step is played at any given moment.

The sequencer’s X input accepts any signal, a clock, an LFO, or even another sequence. The lower faders set threshold values, and the switches below them define whether they react to a rising or falling edge. This means the sequence jumps to different steps based on the incoming signal, creating a highly controllable form of randomness! The results are striking! Complex rhythms and surprising melodies that become even more dynamic when paired with the expander for voltage-controlled step selection.

Discrete Map also includes an onboard oscillator. A switch toggles between a slow and fast frequency range. When slow, it functions as a standard step sequencer. Another switch changes from Position mode (explained above) to Length mode, where the lower faders control step duration. When switched to the fast mode tho, it becomes a graphic oscillator that tracks V/Oct.

To round out the package, Discrete Map includes additional utilities for better integration with other modules. The precision adder for example allows an external voltage to transpose the entire sequence.

The A/B/C Expander further enhances functionality, adding three assignable groups for the steps. Each group gains CV-controllable threshold values and dedicated gate outputs for active steps. And because that´s not enough there's also a sequential switch. Several discrete maps and A/B/C expanders can be linked together!

Overall, an incredibly well-thought-out and entirely fresh approach to sequence generation!

Features:

8-step sequencer for a single track
Generates sequences based on any input signal
8 lower faders to position steps in time
8 upper faders to set step values
One-shot mode
Oscillator mode with V/Oct tracking
Adjustable output voltage range (-5V to 5V / 0V to 5V / 0V to 2.5V)
Precision adder for transposing sequences
Gate output
Ramp output for internal clock signal"

And an overview from DivKid:

Bend & Twist Time with Voltage Addressed Sequencing // Discrete Map from New Systems Instruments
video upload by DivKid

"Here’s the new Discrete Map and expander from New Systems Instruments. Deeply routed in influence from the Buchla MARF & a Serge Modular style approach to sequencing, coupled with a heady mix of physics and electronics (as New Systems Instruments do so well) the Discrete Map allows you to use voltages to bend and manipulate a time map across 8 stages of voltages. From basic to more advanced sequencing, unique time and rhythm creation to some bonkers graphic VCO applications there’s a lot we get into in the video."

Synthetic Sound Labs Releases Model 1015 Lowpass Gate Module in MU Format



Synthetic Sound Labs has just released its new 1 MU width 1015 Lowpass Gate module.

The SSL 1015 Lowpass Gate is a modern "Vactrol" VCA / VCF module inspired by Don Buchla's original 292C. Depending on the selected mode, a lowpass gate can act as a VCA, 2-pole lowpass filter, or VCA/VCF combination which is well known for creating organic plucky sounds. When in filter mode, the 1015 adds a unique resonance feedback which allows a variety of controlled percussive sounds and wild oscillations.

Previous lowpass gate designs used cadmium-sulfide photocells (CdS) which are currently banned in the EU and possibly several other nations. The SSL 1015 may be one of the first to utilize a Vactrol design that replaces the CdS photocells with a newer technology - helping protect our environment and is therefore welcomed Worldwide.

An option for the CdS version is available at additional charge by direct factory request for USA based shipments only.

SSL uses quality fiberglass-epoxy printed circuit boards, precision automated robotics and meticulous hand-crafted assembly assure years of trouble-free service.

Synthetic Sound Labs has been in the analog synthesizer business since 1973. The 1015 is yet another in SSL’s growing line of new synthesizer modules. Proudly made in the USA.

Pricing is $275 US - available directly from SSL and through distributors worldwide.

Clever Mutating Melodic Patterns with Patience // PROTEUS from Seaside Modular (Generative Eurorack)


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the fantastically musical, generative Eurorack pattern maker PROTEUS. It’s the first module from Seaside Modular and is an impressive melody maker with lots of controls to go from simple rhythmic riffs and hooks through to complex melodies. With unique parameters like sleep and patience Proteus offers lots of ways to make, store, recall and vary patterns. Proteus has been fun as a smart band mate (that doesn’t turn up late and hungover) and as the centrepiece and main element on a patch or in a more supporting role. Loads of patches, loads of music, ace!"



Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Priced at $325.00

"Proteus is an algorithmic sequencer with a short attention span.

Proteus creates a melody, then repeats that melody over and over again. Each time the melody is played, there’s some chance that Proteus will get bored and scrap the melody in favor of a brand new one. How fast it gets bored is up to you, and depends upon the PATIENCE parameter.

Proteus’s melodies aren’t simply random; they are generated by an algorithm designed to make sequences that are more humanlike and musical. You can save and recall melodies that you like using the Pattern Bank.

Play with Proteus to explore the balance between repetition and variation, to inspire you and accompany you in your own musical improvisations."

soft clipping limiter circuit;"


Update: press release follows:

"Clatters Machines announces availability of Sonora spectral mixing output module as ultimate sound stage for Eurorack setups

SAN BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO, ITALY: small town lovers of music and electronic instruments Clatters Machines is proud to announce availability of its Sonora spectral mixing output module — aimed at acting as the ultimate sound stage for Eurorack setups by being marketed as a place where all of a user’s mixes meet to find a stereophonic solution for the final track, thanks to 12 fixed panning inputs that allow each track to breathe in its own space while also determining its importance in the stereo field — as of May 23…

Translated to generally meaning sound (in English), sonora is actually an Italian feminine adjective that stands for loud, resonant, ringing, and sonic — depending on the context in which it is used; however, in the context of Sonora being aimed at acting as the ultimate sound stage for Eurorack setups as Clatters Machines’ latest module, who better, then, to introduce it than company Co-founder, engineer, designer Michelangelo Nasso. “A compact, final sound stage module was an obvious — and needed — choice for us,” he begins, before briefly detailing how it came into being: “As musicians, we’ve always struggled with headphone/output/mixing modules. Most modules in this field take up way too much space inside a case — space that we’d prefer to fill with other effects, sound sources, and utilities. And although some other output
modules are super-small, which is nice, they usually lack features, so we tried to solve this problem with what we think is the
perfect combination of what’s already out there.”

Think 12 pre-panned audio inputs — including two hard-left inputs, two hard-right inputs, two mid-left inputs, two mid-right inputs, one low-left input, one low-right input, and two mono inputs. “So Sonora has 12 pre-panned audio inputs, which is great if you’re composing with multiple sound sources,” says Michelangelo Nasso, continuing: “We came up with the idea of additionally assigning a fixed panning space to each input, so the possibility of creating a perfectly stereo balanced final track is pretty straightforward.”

Further features abound, as Michelangelo Nasso notes: “Once we created what is basically a spectral 12-input summing mixer, we decided to go all in and added all the features we think are a must for an end-of-chain module, such as a 3.5mm stereo HEADPHONES socket, with dedicated volume control and stereo LED loudness indicators; 3.5mm pro LINE outputs; stereo LED meter, with a 0dB reference indicator; and a soft clipping limiter circuit, which we believe is always handy, both to protect your gear and spice things up!”

And as if that is not an exciting enough prospect in itself, all those features fit neatly into a 6HP-wide module with an anodised brush aluminium front panel that is available in either black or silver, so standing out from the sound of the crowd with what is surely the ultimate sound stage for a Eurorack setup also applies to what a Sonora purchaser prefers that proposition to look like.

Sonora is available worldwide — with a choice of silver- or black-coloured aluminium front panels — from Clatters Machines’ growing global network of retailers (https://clattersmachines.com/retailers-3/) or directly via its online Store (https://clattersmachines.com/shop/) for €245.00 EUR (plus VAT).

Glitchy High Speed Switch || Turbocharger by Hakai Labs


video upload by Robots Are Red

"Turbocharger is a 6hp high speed switch between two signals. By default one signal is 5v and the other is 0v. There is an internal oscillator to act as the switching clock. The oscillator also has PWM control. CV control over all parameters. And the 'Do Not Touch' knob... well you'll just have to watch to see it's glitchy goodness.

Special thanks to Hakai Labs for providing the module for this video."



"Turbocharger is finally here!

Turbocharger at its core, is just a simple super high-speed switch (not a VCA) between 2 inputs. This sounds boring, but the switch is run by a CMOS switch IC capable of switching at extremely high speeds. This, paired with its internal oscillator, with PWM controls, makes for some fun experimentation. The best part is you don’t even have to use the internal oscillator. There is an external clock input that you can patch in your own pulse wave to control the switch.

Turbocharger is an idea that I (Scott Danesi) have had for some time now. After watching a presentation by Jon Sonnenberg (artoftravelogue.blogspot.com) back in the day at one of the early Knobcon conventions in Chicago on Wave Replacement Synthesis, I thought, I could do that in one module but make it crazier. So, what started out as a simple “Turbo” gate for the NT Controller module, now turned into this monstrosity.

The front panel art was created by the talented Aurich Lawson.
