Ratio Chords with Three Body | Schlappy Patching

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 18 for Schlappy Patching!

For this one I'll show you a very unusual way to think chord progressions by using the ratio function of the Three Body, sequenced by the Nibbler / BTMX.
This is a fun way to create sometimes intricate progression without any music theory involved (even tho it can come in handy sometimes), just by listening to what's happening.

Have fun watching!!"

Schlappi Engineering on Nibbler, Three Body and going from clean to dirt // Machina Bristronica 2023

video upload by DivKid

"What a pleasure it was to chat to Eric of Schlappi Engineering, learn what a nibble is (not a mousey little bite of your food) and talk about going from clean to dirty tones and back. Here's the 2023 Machina Bristronica 'DivKid Discussion' with more of those to come in the run up to the 2024 Machina Bristronica event.

Check out Schlappi here // https://schlappiengineering.com

The 2024 Machina Bristronica event is coming on October 12th and 13th and we'll have new talks and discussions at this years event. Tickets and information here // https://machinabristronica.uk"

"Today it's back to school day, I'll take you to few very simple patches that will cover the main type of analog synthesis - basic additive, subtractive and west coast style FM & waveshaping - with a little bit of history on top."

Audio Processing Vol.2 Drum Machine | Schlappy Patching

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 16 for Schlappy Patching!

What do you like to process with your Schlappi Engineering modules? Or inside your modular synth in general? Today I’ll show you how most of the ways you can alter sounds inside the Schlappi range modules. We’ll take a classic set of sounds everybody can hear everyday almost, a TR-808 inspired drum machine.

Have fun watching!"

Audio Processing Vol.1 Sine Wave | Schlappy Patching

"Episode 15 for Schlappy Patching!
Today I'll show you how to most of the way you can alter sounds inside the Schlappi range modules. In order to try to understand what's hapening to our signal we'll be using the sine wave as our only sound source in this episode. It will be a very "laboratory" one, not much music in there, but lot's of usefull informations can be grabbed from it anyway."

BTMX & Drum Brain Vol.2 | Schlappy Patching

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 14 for Schlappy Patching!
Today I'll show you how to use the BTMX and the Nibblers to drive a "drum brain" in other words, a drum module consisting of multiple voices that you can trigger.
Todat I'll use my vintage SDS 8 from Simmons, a classic early 80s drum synthesizer that used to work with hexagonal drum pads. It will be a good occasion to learn how to convert gate to trigger with the Boundary!

Have fun watching!"

BTMX by Schlappi Engineering - Demo

video upload by Stazma

"Today I'll show you some stuff with the new module by Schlappi Engineering, the BTMIX!
Lot's of fun stuff do with this one when it comes to control or loose control of your rhythms and create weird stepped voltages patterns. From gate hub to audio rate mangling."

"BTMX (BitMix) gives hands on control over logic and rhythmic gate signals with a switch for every input and 4 different logic functions.

It is a 4 channel selectable logic function module, with each channel having two inputs. All channels share the same logic function and the gate outs are summed with binary weights to create a stepped voltage to generate melodic or modulation signals from the outputs.

It pairs well with the Nibbler, other 4 bit logic modules, or any modules that generates gates (such as clock dividers and sequencers) and can also be used at audio rates.

Features

8 switched inputs
4 dual input logic functions (AND, OR, ADD, XOR)
4 gate outputs
1 stepped output
LED indication for every input and output
Works at LFO and audio rate
8 HP
Current consumption: +12v 26mA, -12V 10mA"

Saw & CoSaw | Schlappy Patching

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Today I'll show you some sounds that can be made with phase modulation and the Saw / CoSaw outputs of the center oscillator of the Three Body, and how I like to process these inside the system.

Have fun watching!"

Phase Modulation | Schlappy Patching

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 10 for Schlappy Patching!
Today I'll take the time to make you listen how the phase modulation part of the Three Body can be used for waveshaping (in stereo)!

Have fun watching!"

Ratio & Frequency Division | Schlappy Patching

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 9 for Schlappy Patching!
Today I'll show you two ways you can make melodic sequences without the use of a quantizer. First the Ratio sequencing with the Three Body and sub-harmonic division with Boundary.

Three Body & Nibbler Live Patching

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Schlappy Jamming EP.1

This is a new serie that is not going to be regular as the Schlappy Patching, but it's going to be fun nonetheless! This one is an exploration of live patching with mostly the Three Body and Nibblers, lot's of weird FM tones, in a ambient / drone fashion, bathed in shimmer reverb (Strymon BlueSky if you ask).

Have fun watching!"

Nibbler Quantized | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 8 for Schlappy Patching!

Talking Filters | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 6 for Schlappy Patching!
Do you know how to make filters talk? It’s fun and one of my favorite patches to do with modular synthesizer, because of the amount of control you can have on the talking.

In this new episode of Schlappy Patching I’ll give it a go with the 100 Grit and Angle Grinder, the two filters of the Schlappi Engineering echo system.

Do you have a favorite talking filter?
Have fun watching!"

Nibbler Bassline | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 5 for Schlappy Patching!
In this one I'm going to show you how to use the "clock divider" patch from the Nibbler manual, but at audio rate, to generate some funky basslines that are always in tune with your main VCO!
I'm also going to patch a big fat kick drum and a sidechain circuit using Interstellar Radio, 100 Grit and a few Boundary to go with these basslines.


It's going to be fun!"

00:00 Intro
00:51 Nibbler science
02:20 Let's patch the bassline

Schlappi LowPass Gate | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"Episode 4 for Schlappy Patching!
In this one I'm going to explain to you what a Low Pass Gate is with a little bit of history and show how we can sort of fake one using Schlappi Engineering modules. We'ill talk about the Tiptop Audio & Buchla 292t for reference and we will also use the Make Noise LxD to guide us in our experiments. It's going to be fun!

NibbleKnotOne / I watched a video on the Lorre-Mill Double Knot and I shouldn't have / NIBBLER

video upload by BRiES

"Have you heard of this device? It combines a double shift register with some west-coast (lpg?) features to create simple but mesmerizing sequences of blips and bloops. I watched an Instagram reel by Sam Prekop that sounded way too nice, so I had a go at creating something similar in eurorack using Schlappi Engineering's NIBBLERS and THREE BODY.

I don't think I got anywhere close to what a Double Knot can do but these kinds of patches either end up being interesting in their own right or are the stepping stone for incremental understanding of a (new) technique."

Patch From Scratch | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

"Episode 3 for Schlappy Patching!
I just got a new 6U, 98HP case to make a proper Schlappi System (with some additional modules from other brands) and this is the celebration of that, my very patch on it, a first dialog with the 'machine'.
Not the most musical but quite a fun journey."
