"Comprising initially of 6 modules, based on transistors and Vactrols for sound manipulation to create an analog and organic sound. Inspired by the rhythms of traditional Zulu drums from South Africa, the series promises a variety of drum sounds, including deep bass percussion and lively rhythms. Although a total of 9 modules are planned, the first 6 modules, including the Bass Drum, will be released initially, while the remaining 3 modules will be available later.

"'GLUT UND ASCHE' ist ein Doppelröhren-LOW-Pass-Filter mit einstellbarer Verzerrung der Filterresonanz. Jede Röhre verfügt über ein Differentialpotentiometer, das den Rückkopplungspfad zu der dazugehörigen Röhre spezifisch beeinflusst.
Die Schaltung basiert konsequent auf zwei Röhren und bietet echten und unverfälschten Röhrensound. Verwendet werden zwei ECF 80. Auf Transistoren, IC´s und SMD-Komponenten wurde zugunsten der Wahrhaftigkeit verzichtet.
'GLUT UND ASCHE' ist ein 'real thing' und so hört es sich auch an. Wild Entschlossen das durch den Signaleingang eingespeiste Audiomaterial drastisch und energisch zu zerrütten.
Selbstverständlich sind auch herrlich organisch anmutende Verläufe möglich, sofern man das Filter solide und gradlinig betreiben möchte."

"'GLUT UND ASCHE' is a double tube LOW-pass filter with adjustable distortion of the filter resonance. Each tube has a differential potentiometer that specifically influences the feedback path to the associated tube.
The circuit is consistently based on two tubes and offers real and unadulterated tube sound. Two ECF 80 are used. Transistors, ICs and SMD components have been omitted in favor of truthfulness.
'GLUT UND ASCHE' is a 'real thing' and it sounds like that. Wildly determined to drastically and energetically disrupt the audio material fed in through the signal input.
Of course, wonderfully organic gradients are also possible, provided you want to operate the filter in a solid and straightforward manner. "
"Das erste Modul aus der kommenden Voodoo Drum Serie ist die BD.
Zum Einsatz kommen zwei Russische Militärröhren vom Typ 6SH1P, die einen einzigartigen Röhrensound entstehen lassen. Die 4 Parameter ATTACK, DECAY, FREQ.C.1 und FREQ.C.2 beeinflussen den Klang multilateral und stehen in Interaktion untereinander. Um die uneingeschränkte Ausnutzung des Parameterumfangs zu gewährleisten, fahren die Potentiometer ihre Einstellwerte in absolute Grenzbereiche und über sie hinaus. Beim Einstellen ist also etwas Behutsamkeit erforderlich. Der Trigger-Eingang reagiert dynamisch um akzentuierte Schritte zu ermöglichen. Akzeptiert werden Trigger-Signale von 0-10 Volt. Der Gate-Eingang reagiert konventionell. Die BD wird ab 2021 erhältlich sein… http://www.orpho.de/voodoo-drum-series/"

"Mit seinen sechs frei dimensionierbaren Oszillatoren lassen sich multiplexe Metall-Sounds generieren. In Kombination mit einer Hüllkurve etc. werden individuelle Cymbals, Rides und Hi-Hat´s möglich. Auch für intergalaktische Klangteppiche ist der „metal noise designer“ wie geschaffen. Jeder Oszillator hat einen Frequenzbereich von:
120 Hz bis 55 kHz.
Alle Oszillatoren werden am Ausgang zusammengemischt.

"The D / 8 diode filter is a distinctive 12 dB / octave multimode filter that is used as a resonant low-pass filter, high-pass filter or band-pass filter.
When used fine, the filter behaves rather softly and smoothly, but with increasing resonance it can sound quite hearty and aggressive. Self-oscillation is possible.
There are separate inputs for high-pass filters, low-pass filters and bandpass filters. For example, Filter and bundle three different signals at the same time.
The BOOST controller passionately potentiates the maximum final modulation.
The signal applied to the input is timed by the TIME CONTROLLER (echo threshold). The echo threshold is strongly dependent on the characteristics of the sound and the level of the reflections. The REPEAT control determines the repetition rate.
In certain controller positions it is even possible to "freeze" the signal. We get wonderful feedback loops and space-like sounds as if we had received them directly from space.
Four time coordinates are available on the Echoscope ad hoc.
TIME
REPEAT
REPULSE - regulates the Hall ratio
REFLECTION - regulates the relationship between input and output.
"In addition to the new design, the second version of the kick drum now also has a CV input. http://www.orpho.de/kick-drum2/"
"Depending on your preference, various kick sounds can be generated. The sound generation of the Orpho Kick Drum is thanks to a sophisticated T-drum oscillator, which is divided into two areas. Each area is assigned to a controller. The sound character can be influenced in many ways by the two scope controls, even self-oscillation is possible!"
"In the OUROBOROS, the ECF 80 triode pentode is used in duplicate. It was originally intended as a TV and radio tube, but was also used in power amplifiers. Now we have revived them for the Eurorack. Even if a tube oscillator consumes a lot of electricity and its habit is always somewhat extravagant, it is worth starting up. Unique sounds are available for noises research.
Due to the 'curved' characteristics of the tube oscillator, the module does not have an exactly defined control characteristic (e.g. V / octave). The inevitable tolerances of the tube oscillator will also cause each module to sound a little different.
Connections:
2 x CV input for frequency control with attenuator.
IN - signal input / sync with attenuator.
Out - signal output. Scope frequency range high / low
3U high, 12HP wide, 30mm deep. Caution! Outstanding module! 42mm from front panel.
The Orpho "Fullrush" is a combination of Tube-VCO and Noise Generator. It is a non-standard VCO module designed primarily as a noise generator. Two Russian military tubes (6SH1P) are used. The noise can be mixed in with a scope controller. When the noise component increases, the frequency of the oscillator varies until it is completely full. If you reduce the noise completely, the pure VCO signal is left over. Due to the "curved" characteristics of the tube oscillator, the module does not have a precisely defined control characteristic (e.g., V / octave). The inevitable tolerances of the tube oscillator will also make each module sound a little different. The tubes can also be replaced by two EF95 or similar. be exchanged, which then sound different again. By applying a control voltage to the CV input, e.g. LFO, sequencer, etc. can be varied in the usual way the sound varied.
