A Salty Eurorack Filter with BAGS of Character // Neptune by Winterbloom & Decapod Devices

video upload by DivKid

"Meet Neptune, a salty sea dog of a Eurorack module, dripping in character from Winterbloom & Decapod Devices. It's a diode ladder filter with an added 'salt' control, which is a feedback-modulated distortion (I show you exactly what this is AND how to add it to your own filters/patches in the video).

It's a multimode filter that instead of giving different filter mode outputs gives inputs to them, which allows for flexible spectral morphing between two inputs, dual band saturation and tilt EQ FX and plenty more, lots of patches below, take a look.

As part of this video I sat down to chat with Carson Walls of Decapod Devices. Short parts of that interview are in this video, but you can watch the full thing here [video below]."

"Winterbloom Castor & Pollux

249.00
Twins that move in and out of phase, unique but of the same kind, bound together in the infinite universe.

Castor & Pollux is a Roland Juno-inspired oscillator. It contains two digitally-controlled analog oscillators implemented using a faithfully modernized version of the original Juno 106 design. Like its inspiration, it can give you that wonderful 80s sound with independent and mixed ramp, pulse, and sub outputs. But the twins do not stop there- the second oscillator can be used to layer in thick detuned sounds, harmonically complex hard synced waveforms, or as a fully independent second oscillator.

The cherry on top is the digitally-controlled chorusing that applies subtle pitch shifting to the second oscillator. This gives a sound that echos back to the Juno chorus circuit but with a unique twist.

Manufactured in the United States.

Pre-orders placed after February 2021 are expected to start shipping in May, 2021.

Winterbloom Sol & Big Honking Button Eurorack Modules

Note this is the first post to feature Winterbloom. They are also a new supporting member of the site, which is extremely appreciated.

Winterbloom is having a giveaway for their Sol & Big Honking Button eurorack modules. You can find details on how to enter on Twitter here.

The following are details for each module.

Sol via Winterbloom

"Sol is a uniquely customizable USB MIDI to CV/Gate module. It's designed to be useful right out of the box but flexible enough to accommodate a ton of different CV/Gate generation needs. It is an unusual module, though- Sol is the first Eurorack module that can be re-programmed using CircuitPython. It's designed from the ground up to be customized by you. You are not limited by what we’ve programmed the module to do and you don't have to become an embedded developer to impart your own magic into this module.

Manufactured in the United States.

Preorders placed in April will ship in May."

Priced at $169


Big Honking Button via Winterbloom

"It is a lovely day in the studio and you have captured a horrible goose and put it into your synthesizer.

Big Honking Button is, well, a big button that honks. Okay- okay, before you run away- it’s actually a simple sampler in a very silly package. It has pitch CV, gate in, gate out, and you can store up to 4mb of samples on it.

Manufactured in the United States.

Preorders placed in April will ship in May."
