Raw and Acid
Raw and Acid from Icaro Ferre on Vimeo.
"Acid house jam recorded played and recorded live using just an Eurorack modular synthesizer.
No computers. No drum machines. Raw as fu...
Kick Drum: EMW Digi-Drum + Expert Sleepers Disting (Waveshaping mode)
Snare: Mutable Instruments Braids (SNAR mode).
Hihat: VBrazil MultiLFO (Noise Output) + MakeNoise Maths + Intellijel uVCA
Bass patch: Tiptop Audio Z3000 mk2 + EMW Phaser 4 + EMW VCF Diode + Toppobrillo Multifilter (just to overdrive the signal a bit) + MakeNoise Moddemix '14 (as a VCA).
Synth SFX patch: VBrazil Aether Oscillator + Intellijel uVCA + Synthrotek EKO.
All the layers were sequenced using a 4ms SCM and an Intellijel Metropolis.
Didn't properly tune the oscillator because life's too short and I was just too lazy."

Making Percussion Loops with the VBrazil Modules
Making Percussion Loops with the VBrazil Modules from Icaro Ferre on Vimeo.
"After watching the 'one oscillator beat' by Todd Barton (https://vimeo.com/52013392), I thought it'd be a cool idea to try something similar using my new VBrazil modules, the Aether Oscillator and the MultiLFO.
The goal for the patch is simple: to create clicky percussion / drum loops using just one oscillator, some modulation sources and a wave-folder for some west coast vibe.
Explaining this patch in text is tricky because there's a lot of circular / cross modulation happening between the envelope, LFOs and S&H. On the other hand, I'll try to give you a basic overview of the patch:
- The main modulation source in the patch is the LFO 1 in the MultiLFO. LFO 1 can be set to different waveforms and it features a built-in S&H that can be triggered using the HardSync input. I'm using it to control the pitch of oscillator, the frequency of LFO 2 and 3, and some other misc parameters.
- The main clock signal comes from the square output of the LFO 3 (MultiLFO).
- The Expert Sleepers is being used as a wave-folder.
- LFO 2 controls the amount of wave-folding as well as the frequency of the Aether's internal LFO.
It's interesting to notice how the main rhythm comes from the LFO 1 which is basically using a S&H to extract somewhat-repeatable voltage patterns from the LFO itself.
Although its fairly easy to get weird stuff from this patch, I actually managed to cut and edit some loops from it. Download them for free at http://cloud.spektroaudio.com/1hoUh
A bit more about the VBrazil modules:
The VBrazil modules are designed and assembled by Vinicius Brazil, an engineer from Rio de Janeiro / Brazil.
The Aether Oscillator is a hybrid VCO: it generates analog waveforms (Sine / Triangle / Saw / Square / Sub 1 / Sub 2) and it features a built-in digital LFO that can be use for FM and PWM. The LFO can be set to different waveforms including some stepped ones.
The MultiLFO is a triple LFO. LFO 1 is a digital LFO with multiple waveforms, a built-in S&H, hard sync, and phase / symmetry control. LFOs 2 and 3 are analog and the waveform can be set ramp, triangle or sawtooth via the symmetry knob. LFOs 2 and 3 also have square outputs with adjustable pulse-width that can also be adjusted via the symmetry knob.
Thanks for watching! :)"

VBrazil Chronos 16 Sequencer Hybrid Analog Sequencer & Realistic Moog MG-1
Published on Apr 24, 2013 Paulo Beto·155 videos
via vBrazil translated to Googlish (note there is a eurorack version):
"Description:
The first button, RUN / STOP, or starts to scan the sequences.
Most issues occur in operation or stop the scan, including SAVE and LOAD.
The VALUE knob is unique to the selection of notes, which allows speed and simplicity in issues, especially in real time.
In the bottom block of buttons, red LED's indicate the position of the scan and green LEDs indicate the step / selected memory.
The LAST STEP button determines the size of the sequence. Say the desired size of 12 steps. Presses the button 12 and then the LAST STEP. Done. The sequencer will sweep the Step1 to Step12.
The button TRIGGER ON / OFF enables / disables the output of a trigger pulse in step selected. Works like the LAST STEP, you select the step, presses TRIGGER ON / OFF and the trigger is disabled for that step. If it is already disabled reabilitado.Os LED's on the TRIGGER button indicates its status (red LED, triggers the sequence A and sequence B Green LED).
The fourth button, SEQ A / B, selects and indicates the sequence editing.
The fifth button, CLOCK INT / EXT, selects and displays the clock source. Red LED = internal clock and external clock = green LED.
SAVE & LOAD buttons:
Regarding memory operations, only the buttons 1 to 8 act.
To save a sequence in the third memory just press button 3 and button SAVE.
To load the sequence 5, pressing the button 5, then the LOAD button. Done.
The FREQ pot controls the frequency of the internal clock.
In the stand alone version, the supply is made by an external 9VDC, connection type Boss (Central Terminal = GND), not supplied.
Eurorack version: Width = 45hp (228mm)"
