Pure Analog Polyphony with the VAEMI Modular System #eurorack #osiop #xfmr #vca #subtractive #synth

"Pure Analog Polyphony with the VAEMI Modular System
Most polyphonic synthesizers are hybrid designs that combine digital control with analog sound generation. In modular systems, however, building a truly pure analog polyphony can be both challenging and deeply rewarding.
In this video, we created a fully analog polyphonic structure using the VAEMI modular system. We used sawtooth waveforms on all oscillators. With 3 OSI-OP modules, we achieved 3-voice polyphony. By using VAEMI Analog Sequencers, we provided dedicated voltage control for each oscillator, resulting in a completely analog polyphonic sequencer.
The signal path was processed through our prototype analog filter module, creating a classic subtractive synthesis architecture. The entire system was synchronized via clock signals from the Beatstep Pro. The final recording was passed through an RE-201, adding a classic tape delay and spring reverb atmosphere.
Sometimes, chasing sound takes you back in time.
This pure analog polyphonic structure we built with VAEMI blends the feeling of the past with the modular technology of today.
You'll know what we mean when you hear it."

VAEMI Modular System Patching No:6 - OSI-OP,XFMR Ring Mod.,XFMR VCA & Expander,VoltRatio
video upload by Vaemi
"A unique system brought together with high-quality components and precise engineering. The VAEMI Analog Modular System is entirely handmade using through-hole components and includes many distinctive features of its own.
In this video, you’ll be able to watch and experience a patch I created using through zero frequency modulation — from start to finish, with minimal editing. By the end of the video, I end up creating two separate parallel FM paths. I create a kick and snare using Peaks, and sequence all these sounds with the Beatstep Pro. Then, we patch a synth bass using the VAEMI system.
Shortly after the bass becomes audible, I add a bit of stereo presence in the higher frequencies using the computer, activating a plug-in midway through the recording. Other than that, there is no additional processing.
With a transparent mastering approach, you’ll hear the entire recording session in its clearest and most natural form.
Enjoy listening and watching :)"

Vaemi's new product, the Mini Mixer, is a mono analog mixer with 4 channels and 3.5mm mini jack inputs and outputs, designed for use in stage performances or recordings with all your line and analog equipment.

When the 4th channel and jack input are empty, the mixer’s master output is rerouted to the inputs, creating a "feedback" circuit. This feature allows the sound gain to increase by approximately 6 times, significantly raising the saturation level of the mixer. If an instrument is connected to the 4th channel, the feedback signal is disabled when the jack is plugged in, and the instrument's sound becomes part of the summing. When the channels are muted, the feedback enters self-oscillation.

Vaemi Introduces VoltRatio Precision Voltage Adder - Subtractor Eurorack Module
video upload by Vaemi
"VoltRatio : Basic Features : Precision Voltage Adder - Subtractor : Vaemi (Eurorack)"
"The VoltRatio 1V/OCT CV input allows you to quickly and easily switch through exactly 6 harmonic degrees. Additionally, this module enables you to obtain both a copy of the fundamental frequency's voltage and a frequency one octave below simultaneously, allowing you to comfortably control up to 3 oscillators at once. Furthermore, designed as a precision multiple, this module offers precise and professional calibration options, helping your system stay in accurate tuning and advancing both you and your system.
The frequency ratio system, which can also be found in the first digital examples of Thru Zero Frequency Modulation and allows easy adjustment of harmonic degrees in all operator oscillators according to the fundamental frequency, is crucial for maintaining musical and tonal compatibility. This system greatly simplifies programming in complex FM patches. With the three separate outputs designed as Vaemi, which replicate the 1V/OCT CV input like a precision multiple and provide different degrees, you can use all analog thru zero or standard voltage-controlled oscillators. Quickly navigating between harmonic degrees during recording or live performances will provide significant musical and practical advantages. The output providing harmonic degrees (Ratios) includes 2 buffered outputs, making a total of 4 CV outputs on the module.
You can adjust the desired voltage and harmonic degrees between 0-6V according to your preferences and needs using the trimpots on the back of the module. Additionally, you can set the -1 OCT output to the desired negative level using the trimpots on the back.
All inputs and outputs of the module are DC coupled. Essentially, the module adds or subtracts an offset voltage to the voltage entered into the 1V/OCT CV input. We can think of it as a precision CV adder-subtractor. The sum of the entered and added voltages is what comes out of the outputs. In short, you can also use this module to shift the offset, process signals like envelopes or LFOs, and more. (Note about the module: one of the most important points is that it has both positive and negative outputs and precise calibrations for offset and CV scale. So, it’s not just about adding offset voltage to the voltage.)
You can read which channel you are on from the top of the module or easily determine it with the help of LEDs. The module is 10HP wide."

XFMR Ring Modulator : With Sine Waves & Other Waveforms : Vaemi (Eurorack)
video upload by Vaemi
"The XFMR Ring Modulator is a very old transformer ring modulator design. It dates back to 1947. The inventor of the device is Harald Bode, not the inventor of the ring modulator, but the inventor of many other important circuits, who first thought of using it in music systems and designed an example of it. The first versions had inputs with 2 audio transformers and 4 diodes installed in a ring configuration for the ring modulator.
The module is 10 hp. It is hand-assembled with very high-quality through-hole components. The transformers used in the XFMR Ring Modulator are Tamura brand transformers with very high quality and flat response. There are two separate transformers at the input and output. Also, the input and output voltages are calibrated according to our system and eurorack systems.
Input and output have a headroom of 10Vpp. Unlike the original design, the module is not passive but active (buffered). The XFMR Ring Modulator has a Carrier input and input attenuator, an Output and its attenuator, a Modulator CV input and its attenuator. The lights on the panel show the exact phase of the modulation. The gain setting you choose on the input signals will change and affect the sound of the XFMR Ring Modulator. It will also affect and change the harmonics generated by the attenuator to reduce the amount of modulation. There is also an offset knob for ring modulation. Here you can change the zero point of the modulation, direct and shape the modulation.
At Vaemi, we have revived this old construction technique by creating the XFMR Ring Modulator as an active ring modulator with a transformer.

Vaemi Introduces XFMR Ring Modulator Eurorack Module
video uploads by Vaemi
"Vaemi's new module XFMR Ring Modulator, designed for Eurorack systems, has introduced an active ring modulator design with transformer.
Vaemi (Volt Age Electronic Musical Instruments), which manufactures synthesizers and electronic musical instruments commercially in Turkey, released its first module Osi-Op (through zero fm VCO) in the past months and immediately afterwards they shared Eurorack modules such as Shift Register, R2r Ladder, Buffered Multiple. Now, after the XFMR VCA, Vaemi, which continues the second of its transformer module designs, comes up with the XFMR Ring Modulator, that is, an active ring modulator design with transformer.
The original scheme and the history of this design date back to Harold Bode. It was designed passively at that time. XFMR Ring Modulator is a more advantageous active ring modulator module. A very large area on the panel of the module is illuminated with blue LEDs and shows the phase and height of the output signal. The input of the module is AC coupled because it is a transformer. There are also 4 knobs for controlling the module. With these knobs, you can determine the input and output levels, the number of CVs and shift the offset of the CV signal. The XFMR Ring Modulator has a very rich sound, very soft and open at high frequencies. The module has 10Vpp input and output. Tamura brand quality audio transformers are used. Vaemi today's electronic music and popular synthesis techniques can be applied to additive, FM, Formant, Subtractive, such as synthesis equipped with a system that can be used comfortably in today's music and a modern range of systems that they aim to bring together with their users will continue to be shaped and developed with new module designs that will come this year.

New Vaemi XFMR VCA
video uploads by Vaemi
"Vaemi's new module XFMR VCA, which is designed for Eurorack systems, introduces users to a transformer-based VCA design.
Turkey-based Vaemi (Volt Age Electronic Musical Instruments), which commercially produces synthesizers and electronic musical instruments, recently released its first module, the Osi-Op (through zero fm VCO), and quickly followed with other Eurorack modules such as Shift Register, R2R Ladder, Buffered Multiple, making a name for itself. Now, it has introduced and brought its users the new XFMR VCA module, which is handcrafted with high-quality, through-hole components and features an audio transformer in its output.
The XFMR VCA is a VCA with linear curves. It has two separate audio outputs, such as the classic Op-Amp and the Transformer Output feature that gives it its name. It is AC Coupled and designed specifically for audio signals, making it a VCA module that you would want to use at the end of your chain. You can use it to add saturation, harmonics, and EQ to your patches made with the Osi-Op and through zero fm techniques, or use it for a clean range if desired. This wide range of options will be loved and make you feel comfortable.
Additionally, the XFMR VCA has an expander that allows you to expand it up to 3 channels. With the expander, you can have two more exponential VCA channels, which you can use for frequency modulation of oscillators or in other places you need them.
In studios, preamplifiers are equipment that can properly raise the microphone or line signals level without distorting or adding noise to the sound. However, when recording analog synthesizers, we tend to lower the sound instead of raising it because they have very high outputs. At this point, we thought that one of the most important things that preamplifiers add to recordings, other than gain, is audio transformers.
The XFMR VCA also has an EQ stage. This will provide great flexibility when finalizing your last patch, especially in multi-channel patches, and will provide a more accurate and clean sound in live performances.
Vaemi aims to create systems that can comfortably be used in today's electronic music and popular synthesis techniques such as additive, FM, Formant, Subtractive synthesis, and will continue to shape and evolve with new module designs that will be released in the coming year.

Shift Register & R2R Ladder as a Sequencer (without sequencer) : (Eurorack)
video upload by Vaemi
"Shift Register essentially stores the data in binary form, and it shifting the data in accordance with a clock signal reference.
In fact, thanks to this feature, it is used for storing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing data in a computer.
Multiplication and dividing are actually the results of the shifting process.
Shift Register is a module that is designed for Eurorack systems, and it can run between 0V-+5V. It runs with a clock signal. This way, all the data entered through data input is synchronized with the starting and ending times of the clock signal.
This module is a dual and 4bit Shift Register module. It can be accepted as a 4-step sequencer. The jack on the module that types data is input.Even if you enter a CV signal or gate signal, the signal you will get from the outputs is a 5V gate signal.
The first output, on the other hand, gives out exactly the same pattern you entered in the data signal, only a better-synced version with the clock,while synchronizing with the clock signal, it shifting the written patten to another output as the clock arrives.
In fact, as a result, when you enter 16-note clock signals, you get a 16-note delayed version of the patten you typed from each output.
If you use this module in the audio rate range, you can run it like an oscillator with clock signals that are hearable for human ears.
In this way, while patching with square waves in Logic, you primarily get different phase degrees of the data (square wave) you entered.
The module also has a reset input. If you send a trigger or a gate to this input, Shift Register will delete all the data in its memory.
When you record data in the data input in the momentary flow and stop the clock signal, you will see that 4 steps, which is actually 4 bits of data stay frozen inside the module.
At this point, if you redirect one of the outputs to the Shift Register's data input, and if you give the clock signal back again, the pattern will enter a 2-3-4 step loop according to the output that you use. This pattern will go on like this forever if you follow these steps.The pattern you recorded is probably out of phase in comparison to the clock signal; however, you can also select the phase of the pattern by starting the Shift Register at different times.
Another method is that you can enter the same clock signals in the second Shift Register because it is a 2-channeled Shift Register module.
If you direct the 4th output of the 1st Shift Register to the data input of the 2nd Shift Register, you can extend the Shift Register up to 7 bits."

Osi-Op : Drum Synthesis with Monophonic Synth Voice : Vaemi (Eurorack)
video upload by Vaemi
"Hello
Today, with Osi-Op, we will create basically 3 separate channels (kick-snare and hihat) with this synth voice, with a monophonic synthsizer that can only play one sound at a time, that is, only one note.
We're going to think about it this way.
As if each step in the sequencer is a separate drum channel…
or each step is like a separate patch...
If I explain in more detail
First step - it will be kick.
The second third and fourth steps sound like hihat. higher pitched and more glitch sounds… step five - snare.
Again the sixth, seventh and eighth steps will be like hihat
In this way, we will write 3 channels at the same time with a monophonic synthesizer, where we normally play mono sound and make a mono patch.
When modulations come into play, more than 3 channels can be heard, but basically it is useful to think in this way.
When all the sounds are recorded on the computer, we will have only one mono channel.
It is possible to record these sounds by separating them.
At this point, your choice depends on what you want to do.
Either way will sound professional.
While installing this patch, I used 3 osc + 1 noise +3 lfo + 2 vca + 2 lpg + 4 env + 4 cv sequencer + 4 gate sequencer + 1 dual switcher + 1 granular.
Only I processed the master channel of all drums with a granular and added it on this patch in parallel.
Let's listen to the patch together now."

Osi-Op : Making a Kick Drum (Drum Synthesis) : Vaemi (Eurorack)
video upload by Vaemi
"Hello
Today we will make kick with Osi-Op and talk about drum synthesis.
First, let's set up our audio signal chain.
Now we connect the output of our Main VCA to our speakers.
We plug the Sine Wave Output of Oscillator 1 to channel 1 of VCA.
Gozinta is a preamp module. We will use this module for clipping later in the video.
We connect the trigger from the sequencer to the Trig Input of the Function Generator.
With the help of Stack Cable, we will route this trigger signal to Trig Inputs of other function generators.
That is, Trig In 1 will directed to Trig In 2, Trig In 2 to Trig In 3 and Trig In 3 to Trig In 4.
For clipping, let this cable stay here for now.
The first Envelope will control the amp.
the second Envelope will be connected to the LPG module which will control the FM signal.
LPG Output will be connected to the TZ FM Input of the 1st oscillator.
Now let's connect your 2nd oscillator, which will make FM, to LPG.
One of the most important connections that will now create the kick and drum synthesis is that the Envelope controls the frequency of the Oscillator.
For this, I multiply the output of 3 Function Generators with a multiple and direct them to 2 oscillators.
I usually prefer to use 2 Envelopes to control the frequency of the oscillator.
Let's use this envelope by duplicating it over buffered multiple.
the fourth envelope will set it shorter to get a sharper, brighter, punchy attack sound.
I connected the third envelope to the Exp.FM input and the fourth envelope to the 1v/oct input.
After all, they are doing the same thing on both entries. At this point, some minor changes can be made.
Now we can start to hear the patch we made.
After all, you can kick with a single envelope generator, but using too many envelopes this way will give you a lot of flexibility and freedom in making sounds.
Since the Thru Zero Fm technique does not distort the frequency of the oscillator, it will allow you to shape your kick's first attack sound on a much wider scale.
Now let's activate clipping.
In this way, you can get sounds with richer harmonics, harder, brighter, and the low end is more stable. In this way, you have a chance to get much more aggressive sounds."

When you record data in the data input in the momentary flow and stop the clock signal, you will see that 4 steps, which is actually 4 bits of data stay frozen inside the module. At this point, if you redirect one of the outputs to the Shift Register's data input, and if you give the clock signal back again, the pattern will enter a 2-3-4 step loop according to the output that you use. This pattern will go on like this forever if you follow these steps.The pattern you recorded is probably out of phase in comparison to the clock signal; however, you can also select the phase of the pattern by starting the Shift Register at different times.
Another method is that you can enter the same clock signals in the second Shift Register because it is a 2-channeled Shift Register module. If you direct the 4th output of the 1st Shift Register to the data input of the 2nd Shift Register, you can extend the Shift Register up to 7 bits."
