Superbooth 2023: Clank - Chaos - Proteo

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Emanuele from Clank, who presented their new modules at Superbooth 2023. Their first module, Chaos, is a six-channel random module that starts as a Turing machine, but ends as a sequencer. Each channel has a voltage range from zero to eight volts that can be adjusted, and you can choose from non-quantized to quantized notes on various scales. Clank has also released a movement recorder based on proximity sensors that records your hand movements, outputting CV. Another new product from Clank is Proteo, a stereo evolving waveform oscillator that starts from sine waves and allows you to add external CVs and draw your waveform in the time domain.

Chaos is available June. Price for €359

Proteo Available: Autumn 2023. Price: TBC"

Noise Lab Clang and Wrinkler - first look and comparison

video upload by John Schussler

"'Clank & Wrinkler' sounds like a good name for a law firm. In this case, it's actually the two latest modules from Noise Lab in Sweden. Clank is a combination wave folder and ring modulator, Wrinkler is a wave folder.

Here I'm showing them next to a 'standard' ring modulator (from Random*Source/Serge) and wavefolder (Intelllijel Bifold). Both the Clank and Wrinkler have new features that make them unique, so I'm interested to hear them next to the 'traditional' sound.

As usual, envelope is Zadar, sequence is from Stochastic IG, and VCO is a Dixie II+ tri wave (until the latter part where I use the square).

CLANG - Ring folder. A new eurorack module from Noise Lab Sweden.

video upload by Noise Lab Sweden

"Introducing CLANG! This new module from Noise Lab combines ring modulation and wavefolding in a pretty unique way. With just a sine or triangle wave you can create anything from bells and shrills to deep, brooding basses. Extremely versatile and plenty of sweet spots!"
Noise Lab Modules (DEMO)

video upload by Noise Lab Sweden

"Here's a demonstration of six new eurorack modules from Noise Lab (Sweden). All audio recorded directly into the camera, no processing or effects were added to convey a completely pure and unaltered sound. No talking. Find out more at: https://www.noiselab.se/"

"CLANG Ring Folder

Clang is a unique combination of a four-quadrant multiplier (ring modulator) and wave folder that can generate a wide range of interesting sounds from just a sine or triangle waveform. From screeching drones and strange bell sounds to plucky tones or center aligned pwm waveforms. Three inputs which accept both audio and control voltages, and two outputs with slightly different functions: the left simply provides the processed sound, while the right routes the signal via a VCA, controlled by the Offset Mod input and its level knob. Clang also has an integrated triangle oscillator normalled to the Y input.

RM Mode switch (Ring Modes)
1: Four-quadrant multiplier. Modulation of the carrier signal with offset control. Ideal for producing typical bell-like tones.
2: A single stage, soft folding circuit that bends the waveform and adds extra harmonics to the carrier waveform.
Offset Mod input can be used to animate the folded signal.
3: A hard fold circuit that generates an unusual center aligned pwm-like waveform.

Width: 8HP
Depth: 26 mm
Power: 25 mA (+12 V) / 25 mA (-12 V)

175.00 €"

WRINKLER Wave Shaper

The Wrinkler consists of a primary wavefolder circuit and a secondary “creaser”, both controllable via knobs and CV. Generally wave folders only work with low harmonic content such as sine or triangle waveforms but this one comes with circuitry that can fold and wrinkle ANY waveform you feed into it, including square waves! An offset function adds some extra sonic abilities to the mix. The Wrinkler got two outputs; one with the folded signal and one with a “squarified” version of the folds. Perfect for creating harsh, metallic sounds.

When folding a waveform you add a lot of harmonic overtones to it. Unfortunately in the process, the fundamental gets weaker and you will lose some of its original low end content. With the DRY LEVEL knob you simply blend the original waveform with the folded.

Width: 12HP
Depth: 26 mm
Power: 46 mA (+12 V) / 46 mA (-12 V)

Clank Thererec 2-channel eurorack cv motion recorder

video upload by John Schussler

Announcement post with pic here.

"There are quite a few cv recorders available in eurorack, including a few that use motion or pressure to indicate gestures. Clank has now released Thererec, which uses proximity sensors to sense your finger motions, and coupled that with recording functionality to loop your gestures.

The name is derived from its inspiration, the theremin, bonded to a recorder.

Where it gets more interesting is in the ability to change the range and speed of the looped gestures, plus a reset jack for syncing to a clock.

Source audio is a Befaco Pony VCO.

Clank Axis - no talk

video upload by Clank

"Here’s an overview of the different envelopes in Axis, with no talking so you can just enjoy the audio.
The first part focuses on classical sounds, ranging from pinged Vactrol-style to swell effects.
In the second part, you’ll check out some cool percussion simulation evenlopes, highlighting how different materials can create unique sounds.
Enjoy!"

Embracing the Clank Chaos Sequencer

video by Red Means Recording

"Chaos by Clank is a 6 channel random gate and voltage generator that can be constrained to all sorts of musical timings and scales. It has a looper per channel, can be influenced by CV input to transpose any channel or all of them, and has a chaos input that will scramble the parameters for each channel based on a customizable entropy amount. It's as wild as you want it to be. Let's check it out."

INTRECCI - MODULAR AMBIENT [PAM-CHAOS CLANK-PLAITS-ENOSC-258T ]

"In this patch i played a lot with the amazing Chaos Clank and Pam's New Workout, in order to achieve an interaction between the MI Plaits, 4MS Ensemble Oscillator and TipTop/Buchla 258t.
A lot of modulations, generative sequences, happen in this ambient/meditative patch also with the addition of Instruo Ochd.

Hope you like!"

Testing the mighty Uranograph from ‪@clank_modular‬

video upload by Giorgio Sancristoforo

Uranograph test #2

video upload by Giorgio Sancristoforo

"If you asked me what the 21st century synthesizer should be like, I would say the Uranograph without a doubt. The integration of the looper inside the synthesizer, its modulation capabilities, its effects, its ergonomics conceived for performance, its immediate controls and its design, make it a unique, futuristic and incredibly fun instrument.

For many years we have seen the 70s repeat themselves, the Uranograph created by the guys from Clank instead takes you into the future. How refreshing!

Thanks to ‪@clank_modular‬ for sending me a ticket to outer space!"

"For a few years now, Berlin’s Superbooth show has been a focal point for music technology gear announcements, but the 2025 iteration took this to another level. The sheer volume and variety of new music making gear on display in and around the FEZ event space was beyond anything we’ve seen in previous years.

MusicRadar was on the ground to test everything we could get our hands on. As the show drew to a close Managing Editor Si Truss, Reviews Editor Simon Arblaster and Tech Channel Editor Matt Mullen found a quiet corner in the woods to sit down for a roundtable (sans table) discussion about their highlights from the 2025 Superbooth show floor."

SSF Steady State Gate vs Erica Synths Black LPG: Listening to resonance

video upload by John Schussler

"A recent thread on ModWiggler brought up the question of resonance on low pass gate modules, and it occurred to me I hadn't really compared the Steady State Gate
from SSF (which has resonance) to the Erica Synths Black LPG (which also has resonance). Resonance isn't wildly common in LPGs, so it seemed worthwhile to listen to both and see what differences I heard.

Yes, there are more LPGs out there that include resonance. I don't have them, I just have these. Yes, they're very different modules with different feature sets, but I figure the resonant part can be examined somewhat separately from the rest.

Maybe not. We'll see.

VCO is a Befaco Pony. Sequencer is a Clank Chaos.

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.

OAM Time Machine - First Look

video upload by John Schussler

"I have an addiction to delays. I have many, many delays.

But the OAM Time Machine is different, and very, very good. It's big, but
that's what happens when you add a lot of sliders to something. I'd actually
be ok with it being even bigger, if they'd add cv control over each slider/time division.

But even without that it's pretty much the bee's knees.

The basic input is a very sparse random pattern (quantized) from a Clank Chaos.
Source VCO is a Noise Engineering Sinc Legio. Wee bit of reverb on the
final output, but not much.

So very, very nice."
