Happy Nerding - FX AID XL - Stereo Effects Demo

Sound Isles

"I explore the sounds of the FX AID XL by Happy Nerding in a non-talking demo. The FX AID XL runs 32 effects algorithms arranged in 4 banks of 8 effects. You choose and customize the effects / banks on the FX AID via their editor page / app (https://fxaid.app/). There are over 100 high quality algorithms including amazing emulations of classic reverbs, delays, pitch shifters and original effects combinations all with a Stereo signal path.

The XL grants separate CV modulation inputs for all three effect parameters plus a Sample Rate Reducer (SRR) input. FX AID XL has four user storable presets that store the selected program and all three controls. CV assign, presets and the last used effect are remembered and always available after power offs.

Notes:
Using the Arturia Keystep Pro to sequence + play a range of sounds from the 4MS - Stereo Triggered Sampler and Rings in an alternate FM Voice mode. Pamela's NEW Workout is applying some simple modulation to CV parameters. Life is Unfair Devices - Potential Joystick Controller makes an appearance.

Thanks to Happy Nerding.

Happy Nerding FX Aid - Strymon Big Sky Reverb Comparison

Published on Mar 13, 2020 ScottMFR

http://www.happynerding.com

"Happy Nerding FX Aid is able to squeeze 32 effects into a slim 4HP. I was mostly curious to hear how the reverbs sound, especially the ones modelled after the Strymon Big Sky. In this video I give a quick overview of the module, then provide some examples of how it sounds.

Happy Nerding FX Aid “Freeze Prime Time”

video upload by Happy Nerding

"'Freeze Prime Time' is a freeze effect version with a row of fixed loop speeds: 1/8 - 1/4 - 1/2 - 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 3 - 4
Feeding a positive voltage to the SRR input decreases the sample rate and thus increases the recorded loop time."

TR808 Drum Emulation Added to Happy Nerding FX AID

video upload by Happy Nerding

"Unexpected new addition to the FX AID programs - TR808 drums emulation. All drum voices are enhanced with additional controls over Tune, Attack and Decay portions. Thus possible variations in drum sound are far beyond that of the original TR808. Bass Drum, Rimshot, CowBell, Claves produce standard emulation on the Left output, and a bit modified on the Right output. Both channels are in phase, so can be crossfaded/mixed for additional variations. Clap, Snare, Tom, Maracas, Cymbal and HiHat are stereo, so they can be used with extra space already in the drums itself. Trig input to be connected to the Left input. A New "Generator" section was added to the FX AID editor, which contains these TR808 drums and 'Noise Station', 'Tuner' and 'Generator' programs were moved to this folder too."

G-Storm Electro Introduces the JP4 Chorus - Dual BBD Ensemble for Eurorack

video by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2021

Introducing my JP4 Chorus: a eurorack adaptation of the Roland Jupiter-4 Ensemble effect.
Using dual bucket brigade delay lines.
Headphones recommended :D
Check my Reverb store for module availability

In this video I will be auditioning basic waveforms from my 101-VCO thru the JP4 Chorus.
Then adding some reverb from FX aid.
Roland Juno-1 basic sawtooth patch thru the JP4 Chorus with the help of a homemade preamp.
Note: while the JP4 Chorus is designed primarily for eurorack signals, you will want an instrument/line preamp module for use w/ external gear like guitars and synthesizers.

0:00​ Opening sounds, Intro and functions

4:40​ Roland Juno-1 through JP4 Chorus
6:13​ Juno-1 to JP4 Chorus to FX Aid Reverb"

via G-Storm Electro's Reverb shop:

Oh glorious analog BBD goodness! JP4 Chorus is a mono-input, stereo-output chorus ensemble made for eurorack. Employing two LFO-modulated bucket brigade delay lines. The original MN3004 chips are extinct – and no re-issues in sight. But fret not young grasshoppa, the JP4 Chorus uses NOS Panasonic TDA1022 chips. Bestow your rack with the nirvana it requires.

RATE: SLOW is the lazy swirl of the original Jupiter-4; MED you can feel the momentum gaining traction; FAST is like a lively string ensemble when you feed it a raw sawtooth.

ON/OFF Switch: not true bypass, but the delay lines are removed from the audio path well enough.

Please note – JP4 Chorus is designed for eurorack signals. Guitar/Mic/Line level external synths and instruments will need a pre-amp or instrument input module.

Be sure to check out my other cool modules available in my Reverb store.

Includes 16-pin-to-10-pin power connector cable.

Specifications:

Inputs: 1 mono input jack w/ signal attenuation
Power: 10-pin Eurorack standard shrouded header
Outputs: 2 jacks Stereo Output Pair
Current: 20mA +12V, 80mA -12V, +5V (not used)
Width: 4HP
Depth: 45mm
JP4 Chorus pairs well with:

Happy Nerding FX Aid Tuner

video by Happy Nerding

"Tuner effect generates three fixed frequencies: 220 Hz, 440 Hz, 880 Hz. Left output - sawtooth wave, right output – triangle wave.
4hp FX AID version should have its CV input routed to the Sample Rate and kept unconnected for proper frequencies."

Happy Nerding FX Aid Shallow Water

"'Shallow Water' kind of effect added to the Shaper section.

Like the other FX AID modulation effects – once Rate is set to zero, Range control can be used for manual/CV modulations."

Happy Nerding FX AID: BigSky inspired effects

Published on Nov 13, 2019 Happy Nerding

"Here is a comparison video with the BigSky’s special reverbs. Not a battle, but just showing that you can get similar effects with FX AID too."

Happy Nerding's FX AID PRO Sampler

video upload by Happy Nerding

"Sampler" effect added to the Shaper category.
"Gate" - manual or CV controlled signal capture into the buffer
"Time" - record buffer size
"Scan" - buffer read position
Left input is for the signal to be captured, Right input is for the trigger.
The demo shows FX AID Pro's ability to play the notes once 1/V oct pitch CV is routed to the Sample Rate, which should be set to the semitones scale.
The second part of the demo shows a recorded drum loop triggered by the input drum loop itself, which produces different random beats for different "Scan" positions.

Happy Nerding FX Aid Radio Effect

Happy Nerding

"Radio effect for the FX AID module: transforms the incoming audio and generates noise."

'Dark Energy' Mini Synth, AJH Chance Delay, Penrose, Vox Digitalis, Radio Music sample/wav player

video upload by DreamsOfWires

"Melodic Eurorack performance with Doepfer A111-5 Mini Synthesizer Voice, the new AJH Synth Chance Delay probability/gate delay, Sonic Potions Penrose quantizer, Music Thing Modular Radio Music wav/sample player, Doepfer A118-2 Noise Random S&H, Noise Engineering Vox Digitalis sequencer, Happy Nerding FX Aid XL, Cosmotronic Cosmix, Expert Sleepers Disting Mk4 as wav/audio recorder, Happy Nerding Isolator headphone/audio output.

A small 84hp rig in a DIY case with 4MS power. I created the sample loops in Audacity from some choir music. FX Aid algorithm is delay into reverb. LFO2 from the Mini Synth triggers the sample & hold clock, this sends random voltages to the quantiser, which converts them into the chosen notes on it's keyboard.

LFO2 also triggers the Chance Delay, which is using the Length control to convert the incoming LFO pulses (square wave) to very long gates - each gate will be completed before it responds to another incoming pulse, meaning it can be used as a clock divider with continuous control, rather than simple preset divisions.

The Chance function determines the probability of the module outputting a gate signal - here I'm using it as a switch to trigger the Vox Digitalis, so with Chance at zero it won't advance the sequencer, whilst at full/100% it will trigger it on every gate it generates. Since those gates are a division of the incoming pulse rate, this means the sequencer will change samples on the Radio Music at a much slower speed than the notes produced by the Mini Synth, which is runs at the same rate as LFO2 and the sample & hold.

Mini Synthesizer Voice is the Eurorack version of the Dark Energy standalone synth.
