Gm Xe Introduces AuraTie 4U Digital Effects Module


AuraTie 4U reverb vibrate delay Walk through video upload by Gm Xe

"The official announcement of the Auratie 4U stereo module.

AURATIE is a stereo digital effects module designed in Buchla voltage format, featuring dual-channel stereo output. It employs a Tini transfer switch that supports automatic switching between mono and stereo inputs. AURATIE aims to explore the extension of single tones into the stereo realm. It transforms simple sounds into expansive and reshaped experiences, making it particularly effective for designing drone soundscapes. The interaction between vibrate and delay creates unique feedback with different delays and frequency changes across the left and right channels. The reverb’s gritty design, combined with the vibrate interaction, allows for intriguing experimentation, enabling users to switch the positions of the two parts for further exploration."

"Two fuzz channels based on the fuzz face circuit with a built-in pickup simulator.

Gnarly is a 7 knob beast that will destroy whatever you throw at it. It has many dead zones in the pots that will adjust based on the position of other pots. It's all about finding the sweet spots and living on those fine edges. The transistor pairs on this section are replaceable.

Oomph is a 5 knob bass friendly take on the fuzz face and compliments the upper harmonics of the Gnarly section. Pickup simulator - Fuzz circuits offer unique sound when paired with the inductance of the pickup coils in a guitar. This why it is often suggested to have fuzz pedals as your first in a pedal chain. So we've built-in a coil to simulate your eurorack signal being emitted by a guitar pickup. We've also included a pickup simulator output so you can use it to interface with other fuzz instruments (pedals, modules, etc.). As an added oddness - you can also input your guitar into the pickup sim output (just don't plug anything into the normal input). This will still get you Eurorack level output. Please don't input Eurorack levels into the pickup sim output.

Tips - Experiment with the pickup simulator and buffered signal. Use the PS.Level to keep the signal low, borderline on cutting out. You find lots of joy in the gnarly section by keeping this level at the edge."

Der Mann mit der Maschine Introduces DROID P8S8 - Slider and Switch Controller



"The P8S8 controller is for those who love those little sliders. The sliders behave like regular pots, so we named the module P8S8 (the "S" stands for the switches).

The P8S8 has eight Alpha sliders with a range of 20 mm. As a speciality the sliders contain LEDs. Their brightness can be controlled and used for any purpose. As long as you don’t use the LED registers, the brightness of the LEDs reflect the current slider positions. At the bottom the P8S8 has eight 3-way toggle switches.

As always in the DROID universe, it can be patched as whatever comes to mind, but looking at this module, it's almost imposing to be used as modulation sequencer or ADSR controller.

Shipping includes a short ribbon cable for connecting the controller to the master or to the previous controller. If you want to place the controller further away from the master, you can purchaser longer ribbon cables here in the shop."

SERGE Medusa Comes to Eurorack


video upload by Serge Modular | Random*Source

"Teo takes the Medusa for Eurorack for a (long) spin, here's the full recording used for the IG teaser ... #sergemodular"




Press release follows:

Introducing the Serge MEDUSA Subharmonic Oscillator for Eurorack: Unleashing New Depths in Modular Synthesis

Frankfurt, 1 November 2024 — Serge Modular proudly announces the launch of the Serge Medusa Subharmonic Oscillator for the Eurorack modular synthesizer format. This groundbreaking module designed by Serge Tcherepnin brings orchestral clusters, coveted undertones and rich harmonic complexity to the Eurorack format.

A Revolution in Sound Design

The Subharmonic Oscillator is one of Serge’s latest inventions and one of his most extraordinary designs. 7 accurate analog VCOs tied at the waist—in unison, yet their frequencies can open like a fan, creating complex clusters. Each voice generates a pulse wave. It is temperature compensated and follows exceptional 1V/Octave tracking. 
In addition, each voice provides (voltage controlled) pulse width modulation or subharmonic division as well as an individual output. By producing mathematically related lower frequencies, it enables the creation of complex and evolving soundscapes that were previously difficult to achieve within the Eurorack environment.
The precision of these voices in combination with a global Spread control and various FM inputs opens an enormous sonic range from massive unisono sounds to dissonant, orchestra-style textures. The ODD and EVEN outputs enable the use as a stereo oscillator.

Key Features:

• Original Serge 2023 design
• 100% analog
• Seven simultaneous subharmonic VCOs with individual Outputs, PWM and variable divisions
• Wide Range Frequency Control: Precisely dial in frequencies from deep bass to soaring highs, all synchronized to the master oscillator.
• Voltage-Controlled Parameters: Extensive CV inputs allow for modulation of pulse width and frequency divisions, enabling expressive performance potential.
• Odd and Even outputs for independent processing / Stereo use.
• Global Spread Control (manual and VC)
• Linear and Exponential FM
• Eurorack format (3U), 42 hp
• Power consumption: 220mA @ +12V, 200mA @ -12V
• Skiff-friendly: depth less than 25mm (1")

“This is my version of a cluster generator. Clusters are part of the contemporary music arsenal of effects. The Subharmonic Oscillator has a total, tracking, V/octave range that is the same as all our VCOs, however, it outputs only pulse waves. Pulse-width operates from instantaneous -> square wave > 1st sub-harmonic > 2nd sub-harmonic ...> Nth sub-harmonic. You guessed it, this is one VCO that sounds like a symphony orchestra playing Atmosphères by György Ligeti.”
Serge Tcherepnin, 18 October 2023

Unmatched Versatility

Designed for both traditional musicians and experimental artists, the Serge Subharmonic Oscillator excels in a variety of applications:

• Bass Enhancement: Generate powerful sub-bass frequencies to add weight to your mixes.
• Polyphonic Textures: Create rich, chord-like structures from a single note input.
• Rhythmic Modulation: Utilize subharmonics to produce complex rhythmic patterns and sequences.
• Sound Exploration: Dive into uncharted sonic territories with modulations and cross-patching.

Availability

The Serge Subharmonic Oscillator will be available starting November 1st, 2024 through Serge Modular / Random*Source and authorized dealers worldwide.

The Story behind Medusa

“I was sitting on a bench recovering from a bike ride at the edge of Fontainebleau forest, when a swarm of crows - some 30-40 of them, suddenly erupted in the sky above the large forest trees facing me.  They swirled in a large arc, emitting a few caws-caws, disappearing and reappearing wildly in the sky in front of me.  
And here is what this made me realize about my electronics: Drones have been part of my musical consciousness from the very beginning, thanks to LaMonte Young and the many examples of drones in Indian classical music.  One of my first electronic circuits was a 3 oscillator 9V operated shruti box. Maryanne Amacher, Eliane Radigue, Charlemagne Palestine, are drone masters I helped and fostered.  Charlemagne still uses the console of ultra stable drone oscillators that I designed for him more than 50 years ago.   
Drones and clusters, in fact.  Clusters, thanks to the marvelous composer Henry Cowell who coined the word for music. The fruit of all this, was me deciding on designing electronics for the creation of drones and clusters.   MEDUSA is the result of this project.

But what do a swarm of crows swirling in the sky above a forest have to do with drones and clusters??

EVERYTHING

MEDUSA is the perfect module for letting fly a swarm of semi independent musical notes, swirling in and out of unison, clusters, or chords, capable to scaling the entire range of frequencies, from sub-sonic to inaudible. MEDUSA gives wings to drones :)”

orb former & Volt Glider: New Eurorack Modules by Orpho – CV Recorder & Euclidean Sequencer Tested!


video upload by HOX808



"First Test of Orpho’s New Prototypes: the Orb Former and Volt Glider CV Recorder modules—two intriguing tools expanding rhythmic and modulation possibilities in Eurorack setups.
Orb Former – Euclidean Rhythm Module

The Orb Former generates two independent Euclidean rhythm sequences, evenly distributing beats across a set number of steps. These sequences are displayed on a clear OLED screen, allowing for up to 16 steps per sequence. Potentiometers adjust both beat and step count, enabling a range of polyrhythmic patterns. Dedicated buttons allow start and pause control for each sequence, while reset and interrupt options provide additional rhythm management. LEDs signal each beat, giving visual feedback. For instance, setting 16 steps with 3 beats on one channel and 13 steps with 5 beats on the other creates a complex pattern that only synchronizes every 208 steps—ideal for those looking to experiment with rhythmic depth. Currently in the prototype phase, the Orb Former offers promising features for rhythm creation. Volt Glider CV Recorder – Touch-Based CV Modulation

The Volt Glider CV Recorder captures touch gestures as CV signals and enables playback via a touch-sensitive interface. With adjustable sampling rate and gain, this module provides smooth modulation effects at high sampling rates and more segmented, rhythmic patterns at lower rates. Playback can be triggered by a button or an external trigger, allowing flexible integration within modular systems. Also a prototype, the Volt Glider allows for intuitive, interactive modulation.

These first tests of Orpho’s prototypes show promising approaches for new explorations in rhythm and modulation. For more information, visit the product pages:

"Scrooge is a sequenced malfunction generator, available as a 42 HP Eurorack module or semi-modular desktop synth. While you can convince it to deliver boomy kick drum sounds, clicky hi-hats or metallic snares, it would much rather be making glitchy artifacts, hollow crackles and horribly distorted growls. It contains a sophisticated and performance-oriented step sequencer with parameter locking and the possibility to control all steps across multiple tracks at once. Its 5 distinct and fully analog voices are made up of special circuits that work without dedicated power supplies, scrounging power from the sequencer control signals instead, which gives them an organic and unstable quality. As a bonus, it means you won’t have to power the unit itself if you sequence it from external gear.

5 distinct analog voices
device can work passively without a power supply if sequenced from external gear
each voice can be routed to either of 2 main outputs (headphone compatible)
individual voice outputs
individual voice CV inputs that respond well to audio signals
2 modulation tracks, individually routable to voices
2 modulation CV inputs
onboard step sequencer

Schlappi Engineering Introduces BTFLD


BTFLD Overview video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"The BTFLD (pronounced Bit Fold) can be used as a unique wavefolder or a hands on logic module for generating rhythms from LFOs or envelopes."

Hello BTFLD - 4-Bit audio / cv mangler - Schlappi Engineering

video upload by Stazma

'Today I'll show you some stuff with the new module by Schlappi Engineering, the BTFLD! It's the new member of the 4-Bit logic family by Schlappi Engineering but this one is the most audio oriented as it's main use are wavefolding, fuzz and distortion. It's small but hell it sounds BIG. It can also make weird things to CV and gates, and even be used to convert any signal into 4-Bit so you can use it to modulate / feed your other 4-Bit modules (Nibbler / BTMX)."



BTFLD (Bit Fold) is a distortion, wavefolder, and four bit asynchronous analog to digital converter. The folding output at audio rate provides a hard sync like timbre in a unique sawtooth wavefolder circuit.

The stepped output is a type of bit crushed effect and the square wave outputs provide different frequency multiplications or distortions.

Rhythms can also be generated by putting envelopes or LFOs into the input and using the bit outputs as gates.

It can also be paired with the rest of our four bit binary system (Nibbler, BTMX) for experiments in four bit computing and unusual logic based patching.

Features

6 related outputs
Unique wavefolding circuit
Switched range for bipolar audio signals or unipolar modulation signals
Acts as distortion/wavefolder or rhythm generator depending on input
4 bit binary output interfaces with other logic modules
LED indication for every input and output
