3 increasingly weird ways to program a TR-606 module (but keep it satisfying)

video upload by mylarmelodies

"This is a blend of: A 606 clone eurorack module demo (the LPZW/Tubbutec 6m0d6), and a tutorial - laced with tips and tricks - exploring three increasingly weird ways to trigger and modulate (drum) modules in general - using Gate & CV, Trigger Riot, and sneaky tricks in Ableton Live & MIDI. The overall theme is: Keeping the results 'musical' and satisfying.

We'll also make a generative sequencer with the Mutable instruments stages and use it to control the excellent Doepfer A-111-6. We'll drive it with the Music Thing Mini Drive. We'll turn the Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot into a modulation sequencer. We'll then use Ableton Live and we'll absolutely smash this thing to bits with some simple but very interesting methods to get completely wild patterns, that would take a LOT of modules to do in analog-land.

Happy days."

Stereo Lockhart Wavefolder + drum machine // Heretic Machines aka optotronics

video upload by e j

via Heretic Machines aka optotronics

"This is a stereo wavefolder, 10 hp. It can be quite distorted and brutal !
​
It's loosely based on nonlinear circuits wf core (Lockhart cells)
​
This stereo wavefolder allows you to achieve interesting stereo - folding effects even with very basic modulation.
​
Output 1 is normalised to the input 2- this allows you to use it as a single ten-fold wavefolder!

When channels are used separately the module functions as dual 5-fold wavefolders.
CVs (fold and offset) from the left channel are normalised to the right channel - so you can use single source modulation for both wavefolders.
It can sound quite brutal and distorted-10 folds is not nothing!

Perfect for mad panning, distortion effects and FM madness!

Erica Synths - Hexinverter Mutant Hot Glue sound demo

video upload by Erica Synths

"The Mutant Hot Glue is a versatile bus mixer for analog effects chain design. The included analog compressor offers series or parallel compression and a sidechain input, making it particularly well suited to drum processing. The distortion can be used in its default position, normalized to the effects send, or like every other part of the module, broken out and used elsewhere in your modular system. Mutant Hot Glue has been faithfully re-designed, paying homage to the original design, with an improved compressor developed in collaboration with Hexinverter Electronique

Timeline:

00:00 - Patch 1 / Glued Drums - Sample Drum, Bassdrum and Pico Drums mixed together. Stereo FX used as Send FX.
01:46 - Patch 2 / Self oscillation patch. Mixer module patched in feedback with itself and modulated with the Octasource.
02:49 - Patch 3 / Glued Drums 2 - Sample Drum, Bassdrum and Pico Drums mixed together. Built in distortion used as send effect.
04:08 - Patch 4 / Glued Drums 3 - Sample Drum, Bassdrum and Pico Drums mixed together. Stereo FX used as Send FX.
05:40 - Patch 5 / Drone Mixer - Waveforms from Black VCO 2 mixed together and sent through the built in distortion."

We've got patches showing LFO uses, multiple modulation destinations, ring modulating LFOs, ring mod as a VCA, ring mod for massive bass sounds ... give the patches a go!"

Volume & Panning | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by

"Episode 7 for Schlappy Patching!
Today we talk volume. Might seem boring but changing the volume of a sound over time result in dynamic, and it is actualy quite awesome! Also if you can change the level of something on one side of the stereo field, you get "panning" effect, without the need of a pan pot on a stereo mixer (you need two VCAs instead). Anyway we'll explore things volume related, using a drum mahcine and some sounds generated by the Three Body, mostly using Nibbler for stepped modulations.

Have fun watching!"

DNIPRO MODULAR qTone Dual-Channel Quantizer

qTone quantizer tutorial video upload by DNIPRO MODULAR

"Here is a step by step qTone module demo.This will involve creating some tunes with a quantizer."

"The Dnipro Modular qTone is a two-channel quantizer for Eurorack systems, providing an easy way to convert any CV signal to perfectly quantized musical notes. With 16 user-defined scales, you can effortlessly tailor your melodies to perfectly match the tonal make-up of your music, or get creative by layering two different scales on each quantizer channel. Both channels feature options for Glide or portamento, Offset, which adjusts CV value pre-quantization, and Transpose, which nudges quantized CV values up or down in semitones.

Each of the four quantizer settings may be controlled by CV, opening up highly flexible options for continuously morphing melodic sequences. Finally, utilizing the Trig inputs allow you to operate the quantizer much like a sample and hold, only passing a newly sampled voltage when a trigger is applied. This is useful for creating rhythmic pitch changes when using non-clocked CV sources like LFOs. With so much melody-mangling potential in just 6hp, qTone from Dnipro Modular is a fantastic choice for quantization in any system.

Octasource, Derivator, Burst, and Rample (a Eurorack test, not a law-firm ;-)

video upload by John L Rice

"I changed just one module in one system recently and that has caused a 'modular-Tetris' chain reaction meltdown across multiple systems! 🤦‍♂️🧐🙄😅

Anyway, I stopped working to test a patch idea: using the Ladik J-110 Derivator to create 4 separate gates from a single Erica Synths LFO output that are used to play a Squarp Instruments Rample sample player. (Athena Ladik Burst module is processing one of the outputs from the Derivator)"

Songs From The Periodic Table

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"If each element in the periodic table has a spectrum that can be used to idenfity it, each color in the spectrum can be converted to a frequency. So each element has a distinct sound signature, a scale. It's not easy to make them audible, but with a stack of tone generators you should be able to set it up. You can approach this with additive synthesis - creating sinewave partials for each frequency band, but approaching it as scales is much more intriguing. Each element has its own 'microtonal scale' and some of them are quite beautiful when you compose in the key of Mother Nature.

This experiment feels like actual sonic Alchemy where you can turn the sound of Lead into the sound of Gold, the sound of water - or even 'listen' to the five elements of our DNA. Also, these frequencies have nothing to do with the actual vibration frequency of a atom. Oxygen, for instance, vibrates at 60 GHz and there's no way you can hear it.

I used Droid Master with an array of LFO's running at audio rates to recreate a spectrum's frequency bands (with two digit decimal precision). I found the conversion tables on https://musicoftheperiodictable.com."

Modular Multi-Tap Delays // OAM Time Machine (FIRST PATCH EXPLORATION)

video upload by DivKid

"Here's my raw, unedited and literal first patch and experience with the Time Machine Eurorack module from OAM (Olivia Artz Modular). I've been excited for this one since I first saw it, I'm a huge delay fan and a multi-tap delay with loads of control was bound to have me interested!"

via OAM

Time Machine is a tactile interface for mixing together 8 delay lines with an input signal. At least that was the plan. We made a prototype and got like 300% funded on kickstarter, so we got to work.

As the DSP engine was refined a sonic character emerged that howls like guitar feedback while granulizing like the grey goo at the end of the universe. We leaned into this. The resulting module can create clocked rhythmic glitch effects, reverbs, chaos, and ego-death.

New X1L3 - DRAIL - hacked fx processor - eurorack module

video upload by X1L3

"Hardware hacked fx processor module.
What it is and where to get it - below.......

Available at: https://x1l3.bigcartel.com/product/dr...

A few sections of this vid contain strobing and flashing images. If susceptible to seizures then viewer discretion is advised.

Amiga/P3 W95 demoscene spec run down and demo. Created due to a request to demo the module in a way that wasn't 'just noise'. Initially intended to be one part made from the best track out of three that i came up with. Later deciding to shoe horn the two reject demo tunes into it, which lead to it becoming a ramshackle lesson in polygons and 3d. It also caused the whole thing to end up panning out like some kind of messed up fever dream 💀🤣

Drail is an fx processor module based on a fixed chip set containing 100 preset effects. Reverbs, delays, pitch shifters and modulators of various types, such as flangers and phasers. More details are over on the bigcartel link. Hacked referring to the hardware hacking principles applied in reclocking the cpu and messing with the phase in the signal path to turn it into the somewhat weird thing it is now. Hacked also sounds better than circuit bent, which has been done to death as a term and wouldn't fit on the front panel anyway 💀🐗

A bit of a departure from my usual powerelectronix/sound design outings when it comes to modules. Right now this is the only demo i have complete. I'll upload some stuff soon that's more in line with the roots of where i came from, and which features some other new stuff that got completed in the somewhat hell froze over time it took me to complete this outing 🔥🔥

As always - enjoy - or don't.
The sun rises in the morning either way 😘☀️👌

Cheers for checking it out."



"The module is based on a fixed stereo fx processor chip which contains 100 presets. These presets consist of numerous reverbs, delays, harmonizer/pitch shifters and modulators such as flangers and phasers.

It has a mono input, a summed L/R mix output with dry wet control which covers 0-100% wet,
Two 100% wet stereo outputs give access to the ping pong delays and different phases of panning in the stereo field that some of the effects use,
The combination of summed dry wet and separate stereo fx ouputs offers some variation in how you might hook the module up to achieve different results in a setup.

Patches can be selected manually, or by gate inputs with an input to cycle each way through the patches and an input to select them.

In stock form it's a fairly vanilla and quite unremarkable, all be it useful set of fx. By applying some of the tricks learned in my time in the circuit bending arena the whole thing becomes a Swiss army knife of weirdness and opens up to some bizarre effects and unruly behavior. With the principles of hardware hacking applied and the cpu reclocked, along with some creative phase altering in the signal path, the processor takes on an entirely new life. Still being able to run as a useful set of stock reverbs, delays or modulators, but doubling up as an interesting sound design tool. All sorts of mad sounds and unexpectedly good processing can be achieved. Great for soundscapes, turning basic sounds into things that are bigger than the sum of their parts, making guitars sounds insane, it can even be used to turn a saw into a pseudo supersaw that somehow looks like a kind of mutated pwm square by using the modulator fx. This kind of thing gets fat when you start using both the dry wet mix output and the 100% wet L/R outs. With 100 fx to choose from, there's generally something interesting and at times fascinating to be found when messing around with it.

From experience, different fx chip sets behave in radically different ways when attempts to circuit bend or reclock them are made. Some prove to be pointless and uninteresting, others become prone to crashes and are rendered too unpredictable.and useless beyond extreme noise This one happens to be an excellent target for a bit of creative alteration. When underclocking the cpu, a kind of subtle low pass filtering effect is applied. Not enough to make the effect undesirable, but enough to eliminate the unwanted noise inherent to underclocking. In testing this chip set and discovering it's predictable, but quite abstract nature when abused, it became obvious that it would make a brilliant target for an interesting module. One which i'm finding to be an excellent addition to my own rigs. Given the roots of how it came about and how that ended up sounding, it is i imagine an acquired taste, but a quite unique acquired taste in the scheme of things."
