Tre Modular - State of Mind Demo

video upload by Tre Modular

"State of Mind is four-channel CV workstation. Four CV outputs, four gate outputs, and a set of engines that move them. Any channel can run any engine, and different channels can run different engines at the same time.

00:16 SEQ (Sequencer)
Steps through eight saved snapshots, each holding all four channel voltages, in any order. Jump, glide or morph between them in eight shapes, from one step every twenty seconds to twenty a second, with swing and four play directions. Each channel has its own clock division, shape, swing, gate pattern and gate length. Scenes save the whole setup; switch them at the end of the loop or chain them into a sequence of sequences.

05:00 RSG (Random State Generator)
A melody generator that ranges from true random voltages, quantized or raw, to structured melodies that play like songs. Four voices, each with its own range, rhythm and melodic figure, playing together in chords, parallel fifths and octaves, held tones, answering lines, or each on its own.

10:19 GEST (Gesture and CV recording)
Records knob movements, and any CV and gate you patch in, as real voltage: 1,000 samples a second, up to 48 seconds per take, negative voltages included. Each channel loops its own recording. Layer them, save the four-channel arrangement to one of eight slots, recall it or chain slots into a sequence.

12:20 EXT (External control)
Lets an external CV, clock or keyboard play State of Mind, in seven ways. Each trigger can step through your snapshots in order, at random, or forwards and backwards with a CV; a voltage can jump straight to a snapshot or sweep smoothly through them all. The channels can also follow an incoming CV directly, or harmonize it. The clock input reads 1, 2, 4 or 24 pulses per step and drives the sequencer and RSG as well.

15:00 QTZ (Quantizer)
State of Mind can turn any channel into notes of a scale. Eight scales and twelve roots, with each channel free to have its own. It works on whatever drives the channel, from snapshots and the sequencer to an incoming CV. 15:22 VCO tuning State of Mind can tune an oscillator to itself. Patch a channel into the oscillator's 1 V/oct input and the oscillators output back into CV IN, and the module measures it note by note across eight octaves in about two minutes. Because every note is measured, it corrects tracking errors as well as offset, so differently mistuned oscillators play in tune with each other.

"In this video we want to show you State of Mind's SEQ (Sequencing) engine.

SEQ moves through your saved snapshots. What is a snapshot? A snapshot holds all four channel voltages at the time you saved them, and State of Mind keeps eight of them. Put them in any order and SEQ plays them in a loop.

How it gets from one snapshot to the next is up to you, jump straight to the next, glide, or morph slowly across the whole step, with eight shapes to choose from. The rate runs from one step every twenty seconds for slow modulation to twenty steps a second, and the speed control pot is tapered so most of its travel covers musical tempos. Add swing and play forward, in reverse, back and forth, or in random order. You choose!

Every channel can go its own way. Give each channel its own clock division, its own shape and its own swing, so a bass line can move every four steps under a melody that moves on every one. Each channel also has its own gate pattern and gate length control.

Scenes take things even further. A scene saves all eight snapshots together with their sequence, tempo, shapes, swing, clock divisions and gate patterns, and State of Mind holds eight scenes. Switch scenes while it plays, and the change waits for the end of the loop, or chain them in any order to make a sequence of sequences.

In this patch, State of Mind controls the pitch of two oscillators, one playing the lead and one the bass. All four of the lead oscillator's waveforms go through Permida, and State of Mind chooses which one plays when. The bass goes through Shape Mod, and State of Mind moves the wave shaper's CV with a continuous shape, so its tone morphs smoothly from step to step.

Tre Modular - State of Mind (GEST first look)

video upload by Tre Modular

"In this video we want to show you State of Mind's GEST (Gesture) engine.

State of Mind can record what you play. GEST records two kinds of things. Knob movements, and CV with gates.

Knob gestures. Turn any of the four channel knobs and GEST records the movement: a filter sweep, a slow swell, a modulation shape drawn by hand. You name it.

CV + Gate. Patch in any source, a keyboard, a sequencer, an LFO, and GEST records it as real voltage, a thousand samples a second, up to 48 seconds per take, negative voltages included. It plays back exactly as it came in, so a take works for pitch as well as modulation. A take can wait for your first note, and it can fit itself to the length of what's already playing.

Each channel holds its own loop, so you can record one, layer the next, and so on. The whole four-channel arrangement can be saved to one of eight slots, to be recalled or chained into a sequence.

GEST can also be combined with other engines. One channel can loop a recorded sweep while for example RSG plays melodies on the others.

Enjoy!

Tre Modular - State of Mind (RSG first look)

video upload by Tre Modular

"Introducing State of Mind, our upcoming Eurorack Workstation. In this video we want to show you one part of what it can do. And that part is RSG, the Random State Generator. Whole 10 minutes of uncut video of RSG in action.

RSG is State of Mind's random melody generator. With the Musicality control you can choose between true random voltages, that can be quantized or played as they are, and structured melodies that play like a song, or anything in between.

At full Musicality, State of Mind takes a random stream of voltages and applies a set of musical rules to it. Essentially, it writes songs. Each time a song starts, each of the four voices draws its own character: where it sits in its range, the rhythm it leans on, a melodic shape it keeps coming back to.

Every voice has its own pitch CV and its own gate, and the gates carry the rhythm: which steps play and which rest, how long each note is held, when a note ties into the next. It pushes against the beat, leaves space and holds notes where it wants to.

Depending on the mode you set, the four voices work together in different ways. They can play chords with the lead, move beneath it in fifths and octaves, hold a chord tone, answer with a line of their own, sit on a bass note, or each go its own way entirely.

Why do we call State of Mind a Workstation? Well that's because it can do a lot more than making random melodies. Stay tuned to find out more of what SoM can do.

Enjoy!

Jam at Tre Modular Nr.10

video upload by Tre Modular

"If I had to give this composition a name, it would be 'Waiting for Summer'. Don't know how it is where you are, but here in Latvia everything is green while the temperature stubbornly refuses to climb much past 20°C. This one tries to capture the promise of the adventures summer holds and the impatient wait for them to truly arrive.

On more technical note. Patch consists of four detuned oscillators mixed through Permidas' max value circuit and in parallel, one oscillator routed through Steps to do its magic. Each of these two voices gets its own Liminal Space.

Hope you enjoy it!"

Steps as a sound processor

video upload by Tre Modular

"Steps is our clock sequencer with a built‑in PLL circuit. It works great in its intended role, but feed it an audio‑rate signal and it turns into a divider, multiplier, sub‑oscillator, and chaotic tone‑shaper all at once.

If you enjoy sounds that sit outside the usual modular vocabulary, Steps might be just for you.

If you want to learn more about PLL circuits check out Sound + Voltage channel where Jeff does a deep dive into these circuits. • What the h_ll is a PLL? More than you eve... [posted here]

Permida - Glitch Mode

video upload by Tre Modular

"This video dives into the unstable, twitchy, and glitchy side of Permida.

Permida is a 3-part utility module with a Sequential switch, Voltage-controlled switch, and Max value selector.

We have already released a demo video of how this module behaves normally. Now it’s time to explore what happens when you push Permida past its comfort zone:
VC switch jitter when riding the decision boundary
Sequential switch instability at its clock rate limits.
Max selector behavior with floating inputs.

These are the natural edge behaviors of analog circuits. And they open up new possibilities for chaotic rhythms and glitch textures.

Permida is polite when you want it to be. But if you push it, it reveals a different character.

Tre Modular - Replicant RM Demo

video upload by Tre Modular

"Replicant RM is a ring modulator based on the legendary Yamaha CS80. At its core is the same analog architecture that gave the CS-80 its character. We’ve built it around the MC1496 IC, a modern alternative to the original uA796 used in CS80.

Just like the original, Replicant RM includes its own dedicated VCO. It offers both sine and square waveforms. Sine delivers a clean, pure tone that defined the CS80’s ring mod sound. Square adds grit and harmonic complexity. The oscillator features two speed modes and a dedicated output.

We’ve also included a built-in Attack/Decay envelope generator, another key part of the CS-80’s ring mod section. It can be gated or looped, and has two speed modes for shaping everything from bell-like tones to rhythmic pulses. The envelope also features two speed modes and a dedicated output.

If you want That sound that`s part of what made CS80 legendary, now you can have it.

Jam at Tre Modular Nr.7

"We present to you our latest recorded jam session.

This time instead of showing you our modules, we want to take you on a ride through our city, Rīga . Not the postcard-perfect version, but the raw, gritty side of it that comes alive after dark.

The footage comes from a project that was shot back in 2020. This project never saw the light of day. It felt wrong to let it gather dust, so we’ve brought it back and paired it with a live jam to create this video .

The track you’ll hear is made entirely with Tre Modular modules, recorded live in one take. The only audio post-processing is a fade-in at the start. Everything else is exactly as it happened.

So put on your headphones, dim the lights and join us in a nightly drive through Rīga."

"We present to you our latest recorded jam session.

It’s easy to get lost in the moment when you start playing modular. That moment can stretch into hours without you even noticing. You could call it a kind of productive meditation.

We wish you, too, to have a meditation of your own. Whether it's five minutes or an entire evening, let the patch take you somewhere unexpected. No rules, no pressure, just a moment to tune out the noise and dial into something raw and personal.

Thanks for listening.

Tre Modular - Quad LFO demo

video upload by Tre Modular

"We are releasing new demo videos for two of our older modules - Quad LFO and Replicant VCF. Some time has passed since we have released these two modules. We thought that they deserve brand new and shiny demo videos.

Today we reintroduce you to Tre Modular - Quad LFO.

Tre Modular – Quad LFO features four independent Low-Frequency Oscillators.

Quad LFO offers both super slow and low audio rate speeds. It ranges from 0.013Hz to 40Hz. You can use it for slow moving patches or audio rate modulation.

Another notable feature of this Quad LFO is skew/pulse width control. It is similar to one found on Korg's MS-20 Modulation Generator. Rotate the knob to morph between sawtooth, triangle, and ramp waveforms. Turn counterclockwise for sawtooth waveform and clockwise for ramp waveform and in the middle it produces triangle waveform.

At the corresponding channels square wave output this control changes the pulse width of the square wave."

"We are releasing new demo videos for two of our older modules - Replicant VCF and Quad LFO. Some time has passed since we have released these two modules. We thought that they deserve brand new and shiny demo videos. First to get one is one of our most popular modules Replicant VCF.

Replicant VCF is a multimode filter based on the classic Yamaha – CS80 synthesizers filter section. This module is a -12 dB per octave second-order state variable filter. It offers low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass outputs.

Replicant VCF is designed to replicate the sound characteristics of the Yamaha CS80 filter as closely as possible. The CS80 is known for its warm and mellow sound, and the Replicant VCF reproduces those distinctive characteristics in Eurorack format. If you want that classic CS80 sound in your system, this is it.

Liminal space is Eurorack delay module that has two parallel cores that share the same repeat line. Both of these cores are based on PT2399 IC. Even though PT2399 is not an analog IC, we have made sure that Liminal space sounds and feels like classic analog delays of the past. Each of the cores has different supporting circuitry. This changes what sounds get passed through the delay and how fast they fall off. This results in unique interaction between both of the cores. We have also added Modulation input that lets you modulate both channel speeds in an eerie way that produces That nostalgic sound.
