Plankton Electronics SPICE - Modular Saturation Unit on Kickstarter
17 days to go on Kickstarter here. Currently at 52 backers with $17,810 pledged of the $47,608 goal. Some details from the campaign:
"SPECIFICATIONS
Rackable (38HP eurorack) modular desktop unit.
8 CV inputs with led level indicators.
6 main functions: Prefilter / Digital / Analog / Mixer / Envelope Follower / Feedback
Prefilter: High Pass and Low Pass filters to shape the sound before being processed. Both controlable via fader + CV input.
Digital: 12 bit Bit Crusher + Sample Rate reducer. Both controlable via potentiometer and CV inputs. It also offer an analog input control with led clip indicator and a low pass filter to smooth the output signal. All the code will be Open Source
Analog: 7 analog distortion circuits selectable with a rotary encoder + a sweet resonant state variable filter. Drive and Cutoff parameters are controlable via potentiometer and CV inputs. 2 of the circuits use the new Korg NU-TUBE.

Roland CR-8000 Drum Machine With Zen Delay, Retroverb Lancet, Sherman Filterbank and Spice
Published on Apr 6, 2020 Perfect Circuit
"Some drum machines sound awesome by themselves—the CR-8000 included—but they often sound better when massaged, mangled, and otherwise augmented with external effects. In this video, the CR-8000 is processed through a variety of desktop effects: delays, filters, distortion, reverb, and more.
The CR-8000 is a peculiar but awesome machine in its own right: the guts of a TR-808 in a package like a preset rhythm machine from the '70s. Still programmable and performable, it provides a solid set of sounds for digging into with various types of effects.
In this video, we first test out some time-based effects, using an Erica Zen Delay and Vermona Retroverb Lancet. The Zen Delay provides flanging/comb filtering and short delay effects, turning the raw tone into something more glitchy and choppy than possible with the CR-8000 alone. We then turn to the Retroverb Lancet, which uses a spring reverb to create murky, dark sense of space and a filter for overall tone shaping.
Then, we try a variety of distortion-oriented effects. The Sherman Filterbank Compact is a filter/distortion unit excellent for creating bizarre audio-reactive effects. Here, it dynamically tracks the incoming sound to create pseudo-scratching effects, harsh synth-like tones, and absurd sound effects, great for bringing an entirely new voice to the mix. The Plankton Spice, on the other hand, combines similar dynamic modulation with a Nutube-based distortion and bit crusher to create lo-fi, aggressive bass tones and glitches, bringing the inherently tonal kick and tom sounds to the forefront and turning cymbals and hats into harsh glitches and bursts.
Check these timestamps for each effect:
00:06 Erica Synths Zen Delay
02:06 Vermona Retroverb Lancet
04:24 Sherman Filterbank 2 Compact
06:45 Plankton Electronics Spice

Hello Spice: Unboxing Plankton Electronic's semi-modular saturation unit
Olivier Ozoux
Plankton Spice posts
"So, about 2 years ago, I received this email from Alex at Plankton Electronics:
------------
yes.
We’re designing a new machine. Actually it is almost designed already.
The machine will be a distorting unit. Standalone but eurorack suitable, semimodular, several distorting circuits. Stages are:
- Filter section (LP and HP)
- Digital section (Bit crush and Downsampling)
- Analog (9 disotrtion circuits one of them being a Nu-tube)
- Mixing section (dry and wet).
Then a feedback control with an insert between. From the analog section back into the filter. And also an envelope follower normaled to the filter input but breakable with normal and inverted outs (very good to control the filters before the distortion.
The idea of using HP and LP before the distortion circuit comes from the process of filtering the signal before the clipping stage in all the distortion circuits in the market. Generally is what defines the sound. The different distortion circuits will add more or less harmonics, being a compressed clipped signal, a fuzz, or the even harmonics produced by the tube.
Each section has its own I/O so you can skip the digital section if you want to avoid the 12bit of maximum bit rate or if you want to change the order. Overall it’s a very versatile distortion unit.
--------------
the spice is amazing, and I can't believe it took me this long to make a video about it. Full disclosure, even though I got early access to the design, I purchased my own unit as part of the Kickstarter launch campaign."

Plankton Electronics SPICE *prototype sounds & patches*
Published on Mar 24, 2019 DivKidVideo
"I don't even really tell you what SPICE is, check it out here - http://bit.ly/spicekick - this is just a prototype unit I borrowed to check out the unit and support the Kickstarter. Selfishly (booooo selfish me) I'd love one of the final units in my own set up so by spreading the word and sharing this video I hope the campaign is successful so everyone has the chance to get hold of this killer little box. 3 filters, envelope follower, NuTube VCA and multi distortion, tonnes of CV control, feedback section. I like! Very nice!

New SPICE Saturator Unit from Plankton Electronics Coming to Kickstarter
"SPICE is a saturator unit capable of a huge variety of sounds and colors. From a subtle high frequency enchance to a hardcore fuzz with feedback.
.Standalone and eurorack.
.6 main functions: 1. Pre filter with high and low pass filters; 2. Digital section with bit distortion and sample rate reduction; 3. Analog section with 7 analog circuits + a 3 state variable filter with resonance; 4. Mixer with dry / wet controls; 5. Envelope follower; 6. Feedback section with 3 independent feedback chanels.
.Use of a Nu-tube in 2 of the analog circuits.
.All the functions (minus the feedback section) are accessible independently from each other via de I/O section.
.8 CV inputs. All the 8 parameters have a led to show the current state (the Bit Rate part has a 7 segment display). This way you can hear and see how the voltages are affeting the different functions.
.Available soon via Kickstarter. Demos to come, stay tunned!

3 tracks on the Ants synth + Nutone, SpiceVCF and ENVF
Published on Mar 31, 2019 Plankton Electronics
"3 Ants tracks sequenced with the Eloquencer going directly to the Nutone. Playing one of the tracks through the SpiceVCF with a stepped LFO. Bass drum is driving the EnvF which modulates the Nutone channel 1 drive."
BTW, the Spice Kickstarter has only 4 days to go. They are currently at $43,338 pledged of the $47,132 goal. That's up from the $17,810 when first posted here.

NUTONE, SPICEVCF, ENVF and ANTS
Published on Apr 1, 2019 Plankton Electronics
"Complex paching with the 4 units + MFOS VCF, The Jellyfish, Eloquencer, and a guitar reverb pedal. 2 oscillators of the Ants made the pad which is filtered by the SPICE VCF and drived to the Nutone CH1, which is CVd with the Envf and the Kickdrum. The other 2 Ants oscillators are seuqnced with the Eloquencer, filtered with the MFOS VCF, then to the Jellyfish delay and to the Nutone Ch2. The Kick drum is generated with the Ants filter resonance."
