"Just getting my feet wet with these new modules from Alina Kalencea! So amazing to have the EMS beauties in Buchla format -- opens up whole new synaptic pathways and sonic universes. More info at https://soundfreak.io"

Soundfreak Buchla Format EMS Modules

See the Superbooth 22 video here, and announcement post here. These are licensed from EMS. The prices have gone up slightly since.

"The Triple Oscillator consists of three independent oscillators. They are identical in controls but different in range and waveforms.

From top to bottom, the three oscillators are labelled 1, 2, and 3, and horizontal lines visually separate them on the panel layout.

The original VCS3 oscillators had a frequency range that extended well below the audible range. This allowed the musician to use them both as sound or modulation sources, mainly thanks to the VCS3 matrix, which allowed a flexible and immediate signal routing.

In the 4U format, where sound and modulation are strictly separate, we provided the oscillator with both Tini-Jax and banana sockets.

The Dual Filter/Oscillator consists of two independent, identical filtering circuits modelled over the Filter/Oscillator section of the VCS 3, with some extra features.

We preserved the original, distinctive Response parameter that allowed you to use the device as a resonant low-pass filter or a self-oscillating bandpass filter. In the latter configuration, the filter produced a pure sine wave that could be used as an audio source.

In addition to that, we designed an FM circuit that allows you to control the filter’s cutoff frequency with both CV and audio signals. A dedicated switch modifies the filter reaction to audio-rate frequency modulation.

The DB switch allows you to change the filter slope from 24 to 18 dB/oct, thus expanding the capabilities beyond the original VCS3 design.

This module merges two separate sections of the VCS3: the Envelope Shaper (upper part of the front panel) and Noise Generator (lower part of the front panel).

The Envelope Shaper combines a VCA and a loopable envelope generator that can work as an LFO. The envelope both controls the VCA level and is available as control voltage.

It can accept up to four distinct sounds thanks to four semi-normalled audio inputs.

The Noise Generator outputs a noise signal with controls over its amplitude and colour. The colour knob defines its timbre by cutting the low or the high frequencies from the default white noise. We chose to expand its design by making this last parameter voltage-controllable.

Superbooth 22: EMS Sound Freak New Modules

video upload by sonicstate

"Sound Freak are working with EMS to produce Buchla format modules bringing the best bits of the VCS3 to the modular world.

We got a look at the triple VCO from the VCS3, with sunc and FM, and the double VCS3 filter in a single module, with switchable slope between 18 and 24 dB, and control of slew for vintage or more snappy response. Finally we saw the trapezoid envelope generator, again from the VCS3, but with full CV control.

Available summer 22.

VCS3 Triple VCO Price: 2,000 euro. VCS3 Filter Price 1,600 euro. VCS3 Trapezoid Envelope Price 1,400 euros."
