Two New Modules from Bubblesound Instruments



via Bubblesound Instruments

First up we have the SeM20st.

The SeM20st is a stereo version of the first module bubblesound put out, the SeM20. It has become one of the classic filters in the EurorackWorld.The SeM20st is the most versatile analog stereo filter on the market today.

The inputs on the Left side are all normalized to the Right, so one input can be turned into a stereo signal.There is an Offset for the Left Cutoff, this allows a wider stereo field and is especially useful if the input is coming from a mono source.The CV inputs on the Left can also control the Cutoff and Resonance of the Right side.The Right side CV Cutoff pot is an attenuvertor, when it's at noon it's off, turn clockwise from noon the pot acts like a normal attenuator, gradually adding the CV to the Cutoff.When it's turned counter-clockwise from noon the CV is inverted, acting like an inverted ADSR.This can be used with a single LFO into the Left Cutoff CV to create a sort of ping-pong with the 2 sides, as the Cutoff goes up on one side it goes down on the other.

The Resonance section is exactly the same as in the SeM20, but with the Stereo version the Resonance is controlled by a VCA, allowing for CV control of the Resonance.The Resonance CV will work with either an LFO or an Envelope.

Outputs: Channel has 4 outputs available:
Low, Band, High and Notch Passes.
The Notch Balance pot sweeps from Low Pass to High Pass and can produce some really nice phasing.

width: 10HP

current draw: +45mA -35mA depth: 35MM


Next we have the SpringVerb

The SpringVerb is a classic analog Spring Reverb Driver with a few extras.

The input signal goes into a state variable filter that is capable of self-oscillation.Then the filtered signal goes to the reverb driver, into the tank and back to a Voltage Controlled Crossfader for a CV-able Wet/Dry.The switch under the filter select switch determines what goes into the "Dry" side of the Crossfader. It can either be pre or post filter.

There is a Voltage Controlled Feedback section as well as CV for the Cutoff Frequency and the Resonance of the filter section.

The Feedback does exactly what it says, it feeds the Post Tank signal back into the input section. It can go from very subtile to guitar and amp style feedback.

The Filter is very similiar to the SeM20, so the Resonance is aggressive.The input can be overdriven a little, depending on what the input is. Unlike the SeM20 it doesn’t really clip, but just like the SeM20 when the input is low and the Resonance is high most of what comes out is Sine waves.

Outputs: Filtered, Reverb Only and Mix

Tank:The SpringVerb comes with a medium decay, 3 spring tank and is compatible with many others.

width: 10hp

current draw: +43mA. -30mA

depth - 45MM with RCA cables plugged in

SEM vs SEM - November 2023 edition


video upload by John Schussler

"The G-Storm Electro SEM VCF arrived the other day, and I figured I'd give it a listen in comparison to what, up to this point, I think is the best SEM eurorack module: the Studio Electronics SEM VCF.

(Spoiler alert: The G-Storm gives the SE a serious run for its money)

I've also thrown in the Bubblesound SEM20 and an AMSynths Obie XA. The Bubblesound is mostly SEM, but with some MS-10 bits grafted on that makes it more aggro. The Obie XA isn't a SEM at all, different chip, but is also modeled after an Oberheim filter so I figured I'd toss it in for contrast.

VCO is a Befaco Pony, first on saw then on square. Sequencer is a Clank Chaos. Envelope is Zadar.

Be forewarned: a lot of this video is me going back, and forth, and back, and forth, and back and forth between modules. Don't get seasick.

00:00 Intro
00:20 Standard gain
03:43 Gain up
06:46 Resonance up
08:56 Tight envelope
16:00 Square wave"

Better Spring Reverb! (with more filter features than your filter?) // Bubblesound at Knobcon 2023


video upload by DivKid

"It was great to meet David from Bubblesound at Knobcon 2023. I've been a long time user of his modules and he's consistently made quality modules over the years. The upcoming Spring Reverb module looks at Spring Reverb options in existence and aims to make them better, a fully featured SEM style multimode filter is on the module so you can really shape what's going into the physical spring, changing it's behaviour and sound. There's on board feedback which David is leaning into in this video too for more experimental patching."

All parts here. See the post labels below for more.

Bubblesound SpringVerb Demos


video upload by bubblesoundmodular

"The TR606 kick is going into the bubblesound Booster and then into the SpringVerb. The noise is thanks to a very old Mackie 1604. Starts in Low Pass, then Band and finishes in High Pass. more of a test than a demo"

SPRVB2 780 VCO


"Another test of the SpringVerb. This has the VCOb going into the 141 and then the SpringVerb. simple 2 note sequence. starts in Low Pass, then Band and into High Pass. actual demos coming, this is just a test."

New Bubblesound LP40 Low Pass and HP40 High Pass Filters Based on the SSI2140 / SSM2040 Filter Chip



Priced at $169 USD each. See the dealers on the right for availability.

via Bubblesound Instruments

"The LP40 and HP40 are Low Pass and High Pass filters based around the SSI2140, the successor to the legendary SSM2040. The 2040 is the best sounding filter chip that came out of the 19070s and the 2140 takes the original design and adds CV controlled Resonance. The LP40 and HP40 are small format filters that do not cut corners.

The Input is set up like the Dual SeM20, when the indicator line is straight up the input is at full, anything past that will over drive the input. The Frequency CV responds to both positive and negative voltages while the Resonance CV is 0-10V. These filters will track 1V/Oct with internal temperature compensation.

There are 3 output types and 4 outs; 12 and 18db have one output each and there are 2 24bd outputs. While using the 24db output you can take the second and send it to the HP40 to create a variable band width Band Pass while still using the 24db Low Pass.

The LP40 is an exceptionally versatile filter capable of smooth and creamy basses and with a turn of the resonance pot it becomes dripping acid.I have wanted to make a 2040 based filter for many years and to be making the LP40 with chips from the original manufacturer is something bubblesound is very proud of. And unlike the original SSM2040, the LP40 has a bass compensation feature that keeps the resonance and signal level balanced all the way down.

The HP40 is a unique filter. There have been very few High Pass filters over the years, let alone ones that resonate. The High Pass filters in the Roland polys were crucial their sound and with the HP40 those types of sounds are easy to make. But the real magic of the HP40 happens with you turn up the Resonance and let it go; from fragile and brittle leads that vanish into the air to sweeps and hollow thumping kick drums the HP40 is in a class by itself."

New Eurorack Modules from Bubblesound Instruments



Four new modules from bubblesound:

The HEXa(s)r envelope generator,
HEXvca (6 VCA module),
Booster Stage amplifier,
and Reducer de-amplifier.

Details follow for each. Bubblesound modules are available at Control, Perfect Circuit Audio, Signal Sounds, and other dealers listed on their website.


HEXa(s)r

The HEXa(s)r is a 9HP module with 6 independent AR/ASR envelope generators and 3 mixer sections for a total of 9 outputs, giving users a huge amount of modulation options with a very small footprint making this the most versatile and flexible envelope generator in the eurorack world. Plus it’s skiff friendly and light on power consumption.

Each envelope generator has a gate input and can either be an Attack/Release or Attack/Sustain/Release. In AR mode the incoming gate is turned into a trigger giving you a simple Attack and Release, perfect for drum synthesis and simple modulation or control over VCAs. In ASR mode the length of the Sustain is controlled by the length of the gate. This makes using an LFO’s modulated Pulse Width output or a sequencer with variable gate length perfect for creating envelopes with changing sustain times, breathing life and variation to whatever the HEXa(s)r is modulating. The LEDs are tied to the output to give users visual feedback on each EG.

The HEXa(s)r can use gates (0-8/10V) or a +-5V to trigger the envelopes. It can accept trigger inputs as well, but when using a trigger in ASR mode there will be almost no sustain as the duration of triggers is very short, usually around 5-10 milliseconds.

The Gates in of the HEXa(s)r are normalized so one gate into EG1 will trigger all 6 envelopes. Each envelope generator can then be set to either AR or ASR mode. OIr you can use the output of one EG to trigger another EG. This can be used to make a type of gate delay for individual outputs or complex rhythm or modulation effects from the Mix output section.

The Mixer section has 3 parts, EG 1-3, 4-6 and All. By using multiple gates and triggering some EGs from other EGs the mix out section can create some unexpected modulation options or very controlled rhythmic outputs. It all depends on what you put into it.

There is a header on the back and included 6 pin ribbon cable that will allow the HEXa(s)r to connect with the upcoming HEXvca without using patch cables.

Details:
6 independent EGs. Attack and Release times are around 4 seconds each
Normalized Gates
30MM deep, single PCB skiff friendly design
Output Level: 0-10V
Interconnectable via supplied ribbon cable to the HEXvca
Power Consumption: 50mA positive, 40mA negative
9HP

Bastl Bubblesound HEXa(s)r & the New Dude


Published on Jun 7, 2019 BSTOCKMEDIA


via CONTROL

"The HEXa(s)r is a 9HP module with 6 independent exponential AR/ASR envelope generators and 3 mixer sections for a total of 9 outputs – a considerable amount of modulation sources within a very small footprint. Being skiff friendly and light on power consumption, this beast is a super versatile addition to any eurorack jungle.

Each envelope generator has a gate input and can be set to Attack/Release or Attack/Sustain/Release, with corresponding LEDs for visual feedback. Incoming gates are normalized, therefore one gate signal in input 1 will trigger all 6 envelopes. You can use the output of one EG to trigger another EG – this can be utilized to make a type of gate delay for individual outputs or complex rhythm or modulation effects from the Mix output section.

The Mixer section has 3 parts, EG 1-3, 4-6 and All. By using multiple gates and triggering some EGs from other EGs the mix out section can create some unexpected modulation options or very controlled rhythmic outputs. It all depends on what you put into it.
