Instruction manuals for 100 Grit & BrainSeed pictured below.
"The 100 grit is a distortion, VCA, and low pass filter module with 8 brass touchpoints.
Features:
8 brass touchpoints 2 inputs to transistor core low pass filter Voltage control over frequency, resonance, and gain OTA VCA with soft saturation characteristics Distortion circuit based around a vintage headphone amplifier driven into instability Three position x100 gain switch with off, on, and momentary on settings Each input and cv input is normalled to a different feedback path (6 total) Seperate outputs for the VCA and distortion Can operate as a vintage voiced VCA and LPF or a screaming distortion and noise effect All analog design"
"The word 'aggression' is used in this video to express a certain quality of sound and music. It's not indended and should not be associated with any form of violence. In music, it can emphasize the emotion or reveal what's happening in an actor's mind. It's an element of storytelling. Use it wisely.
For some reason, people love aggressive sounds and we wouldn't be having heavy metal, noise muisic and industrial grunge without it. Some brands, not calling names, specialize in it. So I've been thinking. Does an 'aggressive' VCO exist? Modules like Three-Body, Plasma Voice, Loquelic Iteritas Percido and WaveRazor came to mind, but the level of rudeness completely depends on who's patching it. Not calling any names again. I think 'aggression' - it's a bad word, I know - is a recipe where you'd drive your gear into distortion, self oscillation and cross modulation. However, it's often about grit, dirt, filth and grunge. You don't need violence to enjoy it, it's just 'colors' and many of these colors are all over mother nature.
The ultimate showcase would be Noise Music, but I think that noise doesn't tell a story and emotions need to develop. So it needs some kind of storytelling. In this video, I'll explore some VCO's and combos that will balance the edge of noise, and then try to manage it. Even the most brutal noise becomes percussion when you sculpt it, and even the most civilized module can reap havoc and bring chaos."
"Hey there!
Today I'll show you how to use the Nibbler asa weird digital noise source and explore some patching using this same noise (scratch, percussions and more).
"Hey there!
Today I'll show you how to usetwo 100 Grit as a stereo pair to create wiiiide weird sound (another weirdo acid bassline / drone in that case).
Today I get into how to use the Three Body as a kind of typical FM (Frequency Modulation) tone generator and how to think the three different VCO as operators and 'algorithms'."
"It's been ten years since I first heaved a Molten Music Monthly into the world. I've done it every month since and through thick and thin there's nothing I enjoy more. The summer is always a bit slow but I've pulled together some nice bits and bobs to mull over while applying sun cream or hiding in our synth caves.

"New year for Schlappy Patching! We are no going to upload half of these to Stazma's channel to see if we can get more people to see these patches, so please go over here in two weeks for the next episode: / stazma
It's been a while!
In this one we are going to check how to use the new Boundary Layer module as a full synth voice, and process it with the Angle Grinder, as well as the BTFLD and 100 Grit.
"New Schlappi Engineering module alert!!!!
Welcome the Boudary Layer, a triple cycling slew acting as a powerhouse of modulation, audio
mayhem, and obscure modular tricks in the tradition of Serge DUSG, the Make Noise
Maths, our own Boundary, and others while also bringing a few new things to the table.
I'll show you some of my favorite patches with it, most can apply to other similar modules so it might interesting to anyone.
"BOUNDARY LAYER by @SCHLAPPIENGINEERING is an apex triple function generator for eurorack. It has all the tricks up its sleeves and (as usual) is just a joy to work with due to it's well thought out interface and versatile feature set.
In this video I tried getting across how damn useful function generators are, how BOUNDARY LAYER works and how much fun it is to make patches with the module.
I hope you enjoy the video."
Boundary Layer is a triple cycling slew acting as a powerhouse of modulation, audio mayhem, and obscure modular tricks. Each of the channels can act individually as: -a modulation oscillator -voltage controlled slew (including portamento) -AR/AD envelope (decay or release determined by choice of input).
All three channels are tied together by three global inputs, as well as three outputs which select the MAX, MID, and MIN of all three voltages. Using different combinations at audio rate allows for patch programmable stereo drone synth capabilities.
Features
3 separate channels 3 global inputs 3 combined outputs MAX/MID/MIN Oscillates from low LFO rate (a minute?) to audio rate (>10kHz with exponential feedback) A CV input switchable between RISE/FALL/BOTH Bound input for simultaneous control over cycling rate and amplitude TRIG input for AD envelopes SLEW input for AR envelopes and portamento or filtering EOC ouput header switchable between EOR and EOF 16 HP Skiff friendly 32mm depth (including cable) current draw: +12V 170mA, -12V 100mA
Today I show you how to use the BTFLD as a gate extractor for control voltage signals. I'll be using a stepped voltage from a Nibbler so the results are going to be on the clock, but feel free to experiment by sending cycling envelopes, LFOs, whatever you want, to get some weird wonky gates out of it."

In this one we are going to use the BTMX to process a fixed trigger pattern and use the OR logic to add hits to it, so you can play around creating fills by flipping the switches!
