RF AD Multi VCO 123 bpm jam


video by Radical Frequencies Modular

"123 bpm jam with Radical Frequencies AD Multi vco.
Showing a warm and fat bass sound from AD Multi Vco with no use of a filter module , just VCO direct to VCA!
At the start the sound is from the triangle pulse waveform with an envelope adsr modulating the A CV which is actually a pulse width cv feature .
As the sound is initially a triangle wave by increasing the envelope amount we add more harmonics to the sound and that makes it sounding like a saw wave through a low pass filter…
Later in the jam I add through a mixer a second waveform which is the double pulse and then tweaking the pw and offset knobs for morphing the sound differently as can listen the variations of the sound !
The drums are samples from my daw through a revox tape recorder."

RF Modular 146 Psy Trance analog jam


video by Radical Frequencies Modular

"Live Jam 146bpm Psychedelic with Radical Frequencies modular.
All sounds are analog here!
Kick is from DPVCO the beta vco with an adsr in exp fm and using the sine wave out going into a vca with an adsr.
Hats are the 3rd noise from RF Lucky Voltages into the RF 12dbmultivcf and a vca with adsr.
Bass is from my 5U modular (Oakley VCO into Diode Ladder)
Snare is a 808 clone snare module.
FM Lead is from my new module AD Multi VCO and I use the main out (that can change the waveforms with cv! ) direct into a vca with no filter in between !
The saw wave of alpha dpvco goes into the linear fm of ADMVCO and I’m also syncing it, The exponential fm is connected to a dual looping envelope , the ACV and DCV (both are like pulse width modulations) are controlled by a Befaco sequencer and the Wave CV is connected with Lucky voltages random gates for changing the waveforms which is in clock with the VC ADSR of the final vca that has the decay and release modulated by S&H of Luvky voltages, Beatstep pro is in sync too and triggers the kick - hats and snare and bass . All sounds are multi recorded into daw and the fm lead is mixed with a bit of reverb delay.

Radical Frequencies Modular



"Happy New Year my modular friends with a Radical Frequencies modular 132bpm Psychedelic Techno jam! Patch: The Fm lead is a pulse wave from a RF dpvco with internal pwm and linear fm going into RF Scota vcf (alpha filter only) using band pass output and voltage controlled by RF vc adsr and lucky voltages randomizes the decay times . The Bass is another dpvco with 2 detuned saw waves into RF 12db multi vcf. The Drums are from iPad Launchpad . All sequences are trigged by Beatstep Pro that takes clock from iPad . All sounds are multi recorded into daw though apogee and mytek converters and the lead is mixed with reverb & delay. https://www.radicalfrequencies.com/in..."

Radical Frequencies -Waveshaper/ Sub oscillator


Published on Jul 7, 2019 Dziam Bass

"I have today a small demo of the module from Radical Frequencies which recently came to us from Greece.
This is Waveshaper and Sub oscillator so we recorded a little fun with Shape I Range, but also when we add the oscillator to the Sub which dramatically strengthens the sound. Used on one VCO Minimod -Vintage Transistor Core VCO from AJH Synth.
This module is a 100% fully handmade and inspirational synthesizer from the '70s, it is the domain of Radical Frequencies which we appreciate very much."


via Radical Frequencies

"100% handmade through hole Waveshaper and Suboscillator in one module with discrete transistor core circuit.

The Radical Frequencies Waveshaper-Suboscillator is a two input wavefolderr with shape
and range controls that allow for timbre manipulation, in conjunction with the input amount on each channel.

The module is one big organic block of harmonic generation.

All controls are interconnected and have a great impact on the final out.

CV control if offered and controls the level of both audio inputs.

A sub oscillator circuit is included, offering switchable -1 and -2 octaves.


The square wave has an inverted output too.

An attenuator is included, providing mixing capabilities of the sub out.

When no sub out is desired to be present in the mix out, the sub osc audio input should have nothing patched in."

Radical Frequencies Dual Precision Oscillator (LMS EE)


Published on Dec 20, 2017 Learning Modular

Playlist:

1.Radical Frequencies DPVCO 1/4: overview (LMS Eurorack Expansion Project)

The Radical Frequencies Dual Precision VCO features a pair of oscillator with excellent tracking (6 octaves is the claim) that go from slow LFOs up into very high frequencies. It offers both linear and exponential FM, pulse width modulation up into the audible range, and soft sync. The advantage of having two oscillators behind one panel is that it features a lot of intelligent normalization, as well as jacks with attenuators to plug in external signals. This first movie features a demo arpeggio showing off the major features, and then demonstrates each of its waveforms and major sections:

0:00 demo
2:51 specs & background
4:07 tuning range
5:13 pulse width modulation
5:58 square wave
7:06 sawtooth
7:45 triangle
8:35 sine
9:17 (repatching & retuning)
10:00 soft sync
11:06 preview of next two movies

For more details about using the Dual Precision VCO (as well as other modules I’ve made videos for), I encourage you to join the Learning Modular Patreon Tribe: https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular.

2. Radical Frequencies DPVCO 2/4: static FM (LMS Eurorack Expansion Project)
In this second movie on the Radical Frequencies Dual Precision VCO, I focus on dialing in frequency modulation using the front panel controls, without any external envelopes or VCAs. If you’d like a demo of the differences between linear and exponential FM – and what things like waveshape and offset mean to the resulting tuning – this movie is for you. Near the end, I also demonstrate pulse width modulation, including the great sound you get when you modulate it with an audio oscillator as well. Here is a breakdown of what’s covered when in this movie:

0:00 overview
0:46 triangle versus sine for carrier
1:04 entrainment
1:50 linear FM
6:49 exponential FM
12:11 pulse width modulation
13:18 combining techniques
13:51 cross-modulation

3. Radical Frequencies DPVCO 3/4: dynamic FM (LMS Eurorack Expansion Project)
In this third movie on the Radical Frequencies Dual Precision VCO, I focus on dynamic frequency modulation where I use an external envelope and VCA to dynamically change the FM depth for each note played. I compare linear versus exponential FM, showing where linear is good for tonal and sustained sounds while exponential is good at percussion as well as adding pluck or strike to the start of each note. Here is a breakdown of what’s covered when in this movie:

0:00 overview
0:38 the basic patch
1:20 dialing in enveloped linear FM
3:45 enveloping exponential FM
4:54 FM percussion sounds
5:47 adding an FM strike or pluck
7:49 layering techniques

4. Radical Frequencies DPVCO 4/4: soft sync (LMS Eurorack Expansion Project)
In this fourth and final movie on the Radical Frequencies Dual Precision VCO, I focus on its soft sync function. I explain how sync works, compare soft and hard sync, and play around with creating alternate timbres and glitchy enveloped sounds using soft sync. Here is a breakdown of the final movie:

0:00 an overview of sync
2:28 tuning the master lower than the slave
3:26 tuning the master higher than the slave
5:01 soft sync variations
6:54 enveloping the slave’s pitch (including hard sync comparison)
9:18 layering techniques

Radical Frequencies Dual Precison VCO: teaser


Published on Dec 15, 2017 Learning Modular

"The intro jam to a four movie set I'm creating on the Radical Frequencies Dual Precision VCO, showing off its linear and exponential FM as well as frequency-rate modulation of its pulse width. This is one bad-ass dual oscillator."
