Module Module #4 coming soon.

Tubemaster: ZIMM03

Published on Dec 6, 2012 by Wein Glas

"Buchla Skylab and Zerosum Inertia ZIMMs: What a great combination!
This video features the never before seen ZIMM03 Tube Module from Zerosum Inertia!"

Update: Details via Zerosum

"The ModuleModule #3 built by Zerosum Inertia takes 2 audio signals and processes each through a separate grid on 1 single 5725 dual-control pentode.

Each input has a different sound due to the different grid for each input. When both inputs are used the two signals become one and create a unique overdriven combination different than that of a conventional mixer or signal combiner.

The result of using both grids results in multiplication.

For a dizzying effect, feed 2 detuned oscillators beating against eachother into the ZIMM03 and observe the summed effect.

A single VTL5C3 vactrol provides CV for the amount of processing.

The slew of the vactrol controlled gain creates a unique VCA type effect different than that of a traditional solid state VCA.

Experiment with sending pulses into the CV input and leave the AD generators free for other duties.

To the left is an independant 1 in 2 out multiple. Experiment with splitting 1 signal source, then processing the 2 outputs through inputs 1 and 2 of the ZIMM03. Or experiment with creating feedback. A mult is a mult.

The 1/4" jack on the top mirrors the Tini-Jax output. Try feeding the 1/4" output to an effects processor and the Tini-Jax to other modules.

Or use the the 1/4" output to feed your mixer without having to convert a Tini-Jax to 1/4"."

" Zerosum Inertia ModuleModule 02 - Twin T Bandpass Filter
for Buchla w/ Eardrill ModuleModule Frame

The ZIMM02 is in mint condition like new.
Everything works perfect - no technical or optical issues.

Out: Processed audio output
In: Audio signal to be processed
Black banana jack: CV input for Frequency

Tube used: 5654, the military version of the 6AK5

Freq: Adjusts filter frequency from right to left.
Res: Adjusts resonance from left to right.

Resonance increases when swept left to right.
No resonance equals very low volume output.
Low resonance equals smoother filter effect, quieter output level.
High resonance equals harsher oscillating filter effect, louder output level.
The key is to find the tiny sweet spot in between.
Attenuation before entering the 02 is encouraged."
