Blue Lantern Parallax Multimode Dual Filter - Mutable Instruments Blades w/ New Layout



via Blue Lantern:

"I recently made my own layout for the discontinued Mutable Instruments Blades filter. I changed the size of the op amps to soic. The other original tssop size op amps are impossible to get because of the chip shortage. I am currently the only one making blades available again."

Available on eBay, Reverb, and Etsy

"A great alternative to the discontinued mutable instruments blades module. This custom module is functionally identical to the original. You can achieve the same sound pallet and both filters are 1v per octave compatible.

Model: BLM Parallax Filter
Width: 18hp
Current: +150mA -140mA
PCB LEVEL: 2 STACK, Power Connector on Level 1, Skiff Compatible.

This module is a custom jacks on top, knobs on the bottom design of the discontinued mutable instruments Blades dual multi-mode filter.

Original Design by Émilie Gillet

-Dual Distortion with spectral color control

-Fully analog, based on the 2164 quad VCA chip.

-Frequency knob range: 8Hz to 18kHz.

-Audio input impedance: 30k.

-DC-coupled audio inputs.

-Filter mode CV input impedance: 50k.

-Other CV inputs impedance: 100k.

Blue Lantern Lucky 7 - 24db SH01 Low Pass VCF/VCA // Full Walkthrough and Demo


video upload by Robots Are Red

Introducing Lucky 7 by Blue Lantern Modules. This is a 16hp 24db Low Pass filter based on the famous Roland SH01 filter from 1978. Along with the two input filter, this module includes a built in OTA based VCA with two CV inputs, authentic headphone feedback circuit, two subharmonics generators, built in noise, and a good handful of CV inputs.
Just patch a VCO and an Envelope and you are ready to go!

In the video we take a deep dive into each knob and CV input, listen to the filter in various settings, and even look at some feedback self-patching with excellent results.

21:48 - Feedback Patching



via this auction

Model: BLM Lucky 7
Width 16hp
Current: +69mA -68mA
PCB Stack: 1 Level, Skiff compatible.

Module type: analog filter, sub harmonic generator, internal vca, white noise generator, (self) oscillator

What does this do?

This particular product is my take on the vintage analog filter found on the Roland SH1 Keyboard. Some key differences from the original
are low end correction on the resonance path (audio level would drop), with voltage control, and I used a modern exponential converter.

The bass frequency will retain nicely on this modern version. No more audio level drop. The 'RCV' can be used to simulate Band Pass sounding tones when used with audio rate external sources..

I also included the famous feedback patch that lucky users of the vintage keyboard would do. Users would patch from the headphone output back into the filter external input.
I duplicated the original discrete headphone circuity and internally patched it for you. All you have to do is turn it up with the 'FBK' knob. Small settings go a long way with this.
It can get strange with too much feedback, in a good way.

24db Low Pass Filter.

Features:

(2) Possible External Audio inputs.
(1) White Noise Generator, Switch Jack internally patched to AIN2 input jack.
(2) Sub Hamronic Generators taken from the SH101 circuitry. Both are accessible by level knobs.
(1) Voltage Controlled Rez, with auto low end level correction.
(1) 1V per octave 'Expo' input.
(1) Linear FM input. Best used during Filter Self Oscilation duties.
(1) Bi-polar FM Attenuinverter. Best used with an external envelope generator.
(1) Internal VCA with 2 possible CV inputs. VCA knob is a manual offset to 'open' the VCA.

What you get:
Mixer +WhiteNoiseGen +Subharmonics +VCF +VCA

All you need is a vco, and envelope generator to complete a compact analog mono voice.


If this was literally your first and only module, it is possible to make sound and noise for entertainment.

Price $225.00

Blue Lantern Gleba VCF // Walkthrough & Demo


video upload by Robots Are Red

"In this video we take a look at the brand new VCF by Blue Lantern Modules, Gleba. Based on the VCF from BLM's Dwarf Star Semi Modular Synthesizer, Gleba crams a lot of fun functionality into only 10hp.

This VCF has:
- Two audio inputs, one with attenuator
- 12db Low Pass/Band Pass/High pass filter with mix & match switches
- A screaming self oscillating resonance sine wave
- Limit switch to squash those middle frequencies for a more metallic-like tone similar to the MS-20
- Two Subharmonics Generators, 1 and 2 octaves lower
- FM modulation input with attenuverter
- CV control over resonance and frequency (with 1v/oct tracking)
- A built in VCA that is bypassed when left unpatched.

Filter, crunch up, or add character to your sounds. Use it as an oscillator, a crunchy rudimentary EQ, as a nice squelchy filter, and so much more.

Special thanks to Blue Lantern for providing the the module for the video."

Blue Lantern Syncussion Plus - Percussion Synthesizer || Full Walkthrough, Manual, & Demo


video upload by Robots Are Red

"In this video we will boogey with Blue Lantern Module's Syncussion Plus eurorack drum module, inspired by the Pearl Syncussion Drum Synthesizer from the 1970's. While the original Syncussion has a handful of oscillator presets to switch through, the Syncussion Plus breaks open the presets with it's mixer section for more ability to customize. The Plus also has the addition of the Shimmer section which can add great metallic clanginess and shimmery effects to your sound via xor cmos modulation.

This module is great for creating all sorts of drum sounds using the various trigger and vca inputs, and creating other-worldly unique percussion sounds. The module can also be used as a sort of complex oscillator by utilizing the LFO, shimmer, noise, and 2 VCOs with the VCA cv input and 1v/oct input, or routing the output of Syncussion Plus to an external VCA.

(Tip: If the module seems to go crazy and continues to self trigger itself or triggers through the VCA CV and you don't want it to, plugging an unplugged cable into the Piezo input seems to eliminate those rogue internal triggers)

First I give a general overview of the module, followed by a full walkthrough of every single knob, switch, input, output, and button, and the video ends with some sound demos."

Arcade Kick from Blue Lantern Modules!


video upload by Electronisounds Audio

""Arcade Kick from Blue Lantern Modules!" In this video, I show many examples of what this kick drum module sounds like.
We check it out in different eurorack systems, run it through a few guitar pedals and see how it sounds in a few different musical genres.
I think this kick module sounds really "chewy, rubbery and beefy" - I LIKE IT!

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"

Blue Lantern Cmos FX Processor MK2


videos uploaded by flavio mireles

Update: added a playlist with four demos above.

See the dealers on the right for availability.



"This module has all the internal circuits to complete a voice: sound generation + envelope generation + amplifier control.

The sound generation is interesting. The core is using 3 CMOS based oscillators that are performing exclusive 'or' logic.
This is known as 'XOR' ring modulation. This entire circuit is being voltage starved, a technique common among the advanced circuit bending hobby.
For example, portable vintage toys that use batteries sound different as there batteries loose voltage. I designed a CV controllable
circuit that simulates the 'dying batteries' scenario.

This is where the product's name comes from: CMOS FX Processor. Incoming audio is internally conditioned
to be those dying batteries. To my knowledge I don't think there is any other euro format product that uses this technique.

-CMOS FX INPUT jack has a capacitor on it's signal path, making this an AC input.
-MOD INPUT jack is a DC signal path.
-FM INPUT jack is also a DC signal path, but with level control (attenuator).

Envelope Generator

This is a digital based 1 shot circuit, that has 8 wave forms. The decay knob controls the tail of the envelope. There is no parameter for attack.
Some of the wave forms have set attack times if you require some 'fading' in on the control.
-Regeneration 'REGEN' parameter is a feedback. This controls the looping of your envelope.
-Delay parameter controls the time until the next 1 shot of your loop.
-Decay knob needs to be adjusted as you experiment using Regen and Delay parameters. Shorter decay times work best and make the looping faster.
-Envelope Output is 0-10V.

Amplifier Control

The internal circuit is an OTA based '13700' vca design.
-Accent input jack is a POSITIVE only conditioner. For example if you patch a -5/+5v signal, only the +5v portion reaches the VCA control.
This is good for making the audio louder at given intervals, but not making the audio 'mute'.
-VCA CV input jack is a direct DC coupled input. This will make the audio fade in and out of volume. Both positive and negative values make it to the VCA control.

How to use this module.

For best results you will need a sequencer or sample and hold from a digital fancy module. You can practice first by patching this to the 'FM' input and find your sweet spot with its level.
You will need to patch a 'tempo' to the trigger or you can use the W Pulse clock to trigger this product.

Once you got the hang of the module, make a sequenced based patch with your other modules. Use the CMOS FX Processor at the end of the audio signal path chain to 'Process' your audio.
Your going to here some bizzare techno. If you have a scope, the wave forms on the output are really crazy to see."
