Plasma Voice: An Electro and an Industrial noodle (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"As my grandmother used to advise: 'They can't shoot you for asking'. So I asked GamechangerAudio if they might send me a Plasma Voice module - and here it is.

It's easy to get started - just send it a trigger or a MIDI sequence (MIDI adaptor cable is included). From there you can get as complex as you like. In the first noodle the DB-01 is sending it a basic pattern and the Plasma Voice and DB-01 are doubled up playing it. Some synced LFO CV is switching voices in the bass and lead category. My daughter pulled a face when she heard me editing this and said it sounded 'loose', so I added some drums in the DAW. And then a few extra vocal samples for seasoning.

CV comes from the SPC Neptune 8-LFO module (currently in development). This is an early prototype but is just the thing for sending lots of synced modulation. The Plasma Voice loves being fed.

The second piece is pure Plasma Voice fed into the Nightverb. Quotes are from the original 1938 Halloween broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Again lots of CV tweaking the core sounds.

As usual the sound is not subsequently modified, EQed or processed in any way in the DAW (except the added drums in Noodle 1).

Neptune - an 8-LFO Eurorack module with quantizing

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Neptune is an 8-LFO Eurorack module. What you see here is a 99% complete beta version. The final production version will have slightly revised firmware, new knobs and faceplate design. In the video I run through just a few of its features, mainly looking at the quantize functionality.

The main features include:
- Eight independent LFOs
- 256 waveforms including many evolving and random waveforms
- Clock sync and free running options
- Phase offset, wave polarity, wave truncating
- One-shot mode (per LFO) with the waveforms being triggered via the reset input
- Comprehensive merge capabilities between waveforms eg: AND, OR, XOR etc
- Each LFO can be individually quantized to one of 16 scales
- The output of each LFO can be individually limited from 1 semitone to 5 octaves

Neptune is made by SPC Plugins in the UK. It is currently in beta with limited production to start in early 2024."

Note this appears to be SPC Plugins first eurorack module. So new it is not yet on their website as of this post and demo.
