Plankton Nutone dual tube VCA 1/2: demo + explained (LMS EE)

Published on Oct 9, 2019 Learning Modular

"The Plankton Nutone is a dual tube VCA based on the Korg Nutube: compact fluorescent displays re-engineered to act as micro vacuum triode tubes. Its easy-to-use interface include controls for each stage to be fed back into itself, as well as for each stage to be fed to the other one. It can be used as normal VCA with minimal distortion, as a tube VCA with distortion only on the envelope peaks, or as a saturation device. At high feedback levels, it will self-oscillate and generally freak out in interesting ways.

In this movie, I give a no-talking demo of using the Nutone, and then look at how it changes the incoming sound:

00:00 demo
01:53 overview
02:46 setting up
03:50 triangle/sawtooth variations
06:24 using as a VCA vs. saturator

The other movie demonstrates the Nutone in use as a VCA, as a saturation device, and as the two put together – including performance control. It is exclusive to those who have access to the Learning Modular Eurorack Expansion course (https://learningmodular.com/register/...), including Learning Modular Patreon supporters at the +5v level and above (https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular). Patreon supporters also have access to supplemental posts for both movies in this series."

The Kickstarter goal has been met at $48,787 pledged of $47,131 goal!

NUTONE, SPICEVCF, ENVF and ANTS

Published on Apr 1, 2019 Plankton Electronics

"Complex paching with the 4 units + MFOS VCF, The Jellyfish, Eloquencer, and a guitar reverb pedal. 2 oscillators of the Ants made the pad which is filtered by the SPICE VCF and drived to the Nutone CH1, which is CVd with the Envf and the Kickdrum. The other 2 Ants oscillators are seuqnced with the Eloquencer, filtered with the MFOS VCF, then to the Jellyfish delay and to the Nutone Ch2. The Kick drum is generated with the Ants filter resonance."

3 tracks on the Ants synth + Nutone, SpiceVCF and ENVF

Published on Mar 31, 2019 Plankton Electronics

"3 Ants tracks sequenced with the Eloquencer going directly to the Nutone. Playing one of the tracks through the SpiceVCF with a stepped LFO. Bass drum is driving the EnvF which modulates the Nutone channel 1 drive."

BTW, the Spice Kickstarter has only 4 days to go. They are currently at $43,338 pledged of the $47,132 goal. That's up from the $17,810 when first posted here.

Stereo Patch on the Ants - Nutone - SpiceVCF and EnvF

Published on Mar 29, 2019 Plankton Electronics

"Complex patching using 2 oscillators, the Ants VCF and the SPICEVCF, 1 Ants VCA and one Nutone channel as a VCA. The other nutone channel is adding subtle distortion. The envelope follower is triggered by a 4/4 drum doing some sidechain effects."

Plankton Electronics SPICE *prototype sounds & patches*

Published on Mar 24, 2019 DivKidVideo

"I don't even really tell you what SPICE is, check it out here - http://bit.ly/spicekick - this is just a prototype unit I borrowed to check out the unit and support the Kickstarter. Selfishly (booooo selfish me) I'd love one of the final units in my own set up so by spreading the word and sharing this video I hope the campaign is successful so everyone has the chance to get hold of this killer little box. 3 filters, envelope follower, NuTube VCA and multi distortion, tonnes of CV control, feedback section. I like! Very nice!

"SPECIFICATIONS

Rackable (38HP eurorack) modular desktop unit.

8 CV inputs with led level indicators.

6 main functions: Prefilter / Digital / Analog / Mixer / Envelope Follower / Feedback

Prefilter: High Pass and Low Pass filters to shape the sound before being processed. Both controlable via fader + CV input.

Digital: 12 bit Bit Crusher + Sample Rate reducer. Both controlable via potentiometer and CV inputs. It also offer an analog input control with led clip indicator and a low pass filter to smooth the output signal. All the code will be Open Source

Analog: 7 analog distortion circuits selectable with a rotary encoder + a sweet resonant state variable filter. Drive and Cutoff parameters are controlable via potentiometer and CV inputs. 2 of the circuits use the new Korg NU-TUBE.

Plankton Electronics Ants Patch #03 Arps & Waves

Published on Feb 15, 2019 dænkrø_ ElectriXity_

"All unnatural sounds come from the Plankton Electronics Ants. It is a constantly interrupted arpeggio patch with some white noise which comes and goes in waves, matching the sounds of the ocean.
In order to minimize time, I kept it simple this time. Just a patch and some footage from my favourite recreational place. Sorry if it`s all too cliché for you. I kinda like it.
Enjoy"

New SPICE Saturator Unit from Plankton Electronics Coming to Kickstarter

"SPICE is a saturator unit capable of a huge variety of sounds and colors. From a subtle high frequency enchance to a hardcore fuzz with feedback.

.Standalone and eurorack.

.6 main functions: 1. Pre filter with high and low pass filters; 2. Digital section with bit distortion and sample rate reduction; 3. Analog section with 7 analog circuits + a 3 state variable filter with resonance; 4. Mixer with dry / wet controls; 5. Envelope follower; 6. Feedback section with 3 independent feedback chanels.

.Use of a Nu-tube in 2 of the analog circuits.

.All the functions (minus the feedback section) are accessible independently from each other via de I/O section.

.8 CV inputs. All the 8 parameters have a led to show the current state (the Bit Rate part has a 7 segment display). This way you can hear and see how the voltages are affeting the different functions.

.Available soon via Kickstarter. Demos to come, stay tunned!

Large custom knobs.

"Somewhat discounted due to occasional noise in the moment of engaging the button that switches between hi and lo pass filter outputs. It's in great shape otherwise, having only left the non-smoking studio once to appear in the video above."
