video upload by ST Modular (Stefan)

"🟢 I found something cool on my mobile (...well, actually I only had this video in vertical format, so I needed some kind of workaround, which is that mobile frame 😉🎶).

✨ This is a live ambient modular synth performance! This set explores slowly evolving pads, hypnotic drones, and delicate rhythmic textures, performed live with Eurorack modulars, Elektron Syntakt, Torso S-4 and creative FX.

🎧Also perfect for deep listening, study, or meditation. Immerse yourself in evolving soundscapes and analog warmth.

💡 Gear used & roles in the setup:

♫ Elektron Syntakt → kick, percussion, live melody playing
♫ ST Modular Honeyeater + Disting MK4 (wavetable algo) → Pad 1 → through Mimeophone + FX Aid
♫ Behringer Victor OSC → Pad 2 → through Pico DSP + Intellijel Sealegs
♫ Bastl GrandPa → alternating samples → through EQ8, Pico DSP + Intellijel Sealegs
♫ OXI One → main live sequencing
♫ Torso S-4 → one-shots, drones, percussive tweaks

New Euphoria DIY Semi-Modular Desktop Synth by ST Modular

video upload by Stefan Tretau

Details via ST Modular

Coming soon..

A semi-modular analog desktop-synthesizer

Featuring a dual complex oscillator characterized by simple and clear operation and uncompromised sound

Designed as an instrument that can be built, exolored and learned

DO IT YOURSELF! EUPHORIA is only available as a DIY-project and was designed to be built by passionate builders. It consists of fourteen individual circuit boards that are mounted on one controller board

MAIN FEATURES

TWO ANALOG OSCILLATORS

Two Voltage Controlled Oscillators with classic waveforms, waveshapers, sub-octaves and a noise source. Convenient sliding potentiometers for volume control of the waveforms. Based on the famous CEM3340 chip and a newly developed wave-shaping tone generator.

TWO SEQUENCERS

Play notes with a 5-STEP trigger and CV sequencer and an additional 4-STEP CV sequencer. Transpose and change the length of a sequence, control the tempo via CV, add swing or sequence manually with the push of a button.

OSC MIX & VARI BOARDS

Seamlessly blend the oscillators manually or by CV. Insert external audio and pass it through the Filter or internal Reverb. VARI BOARDS are interchangeable boards, each offering a different functionality. Choose the VARI BOARD that meets your requirements.

DUAL LPG, VCA & ADSR

Each oscillator is processed by a filter-based low-pass gate (PLG) and both are optionally routed through an internal AC-coupled VCA. Use the internal ADSR envelope to shape and express your sounds.

MODULATION & TOOLS

Get your sounds moving with the internal CV-controllable LFO and the Buchla 281e-inspired function generator. Multiply, invert and amplify your signals with a buffered multiple and an additional DC-coupled VCA.

ST Modular - ALSTADEN (Waveshaping Oscillator)

video upload by Stefan Tretau

"ALSTADEN is your source for harsh and harmonically rich sounds. It is a newly developed waveshaping tone generator and resembles the secondary oscillator of the semi-modular synthesizer „EUPHORIA“. The waves are formed by a combination of diode clipping and folding of the waveform by adding mirror images of the upper and lower parts of the waveform. This creates more high harmonics and interesting timbral variations. It also features an equalizer, which is quite unusual for oscillators, but offers more sonic possibilities."

Published on Apr 6, 2019 Stefan Tretau

"18 minutes of random wiggling with the FLITZEM DEFÖR Sequencer being triggered from the Westlicht PERFORMER. The Oscialltors used are 2x Cyllene and 1x GIVE II.

Yes, there are some atonal and dissonant passages here, but thats part of the game when wiggling around. Any quantizer would solve that immediately (just didnt have one at hand)."

Stefan Tretau

ST Modular - CV SCAN, TRYFELO and EUROKASTLE


"Using CV SCAN to scan through different CV sources from Tryfelo to control EuroKastle Pitch. And using CV SCAN to route one CV source from Tryfelo to different CV inputs of EuroKastle. Scanning manually and via CV, using the Volt Output of CV Scan to change EuroKastle CV with the Scan knob and interrupting the CV SCAN route via gate signals and manually via the dedicated OFF button.
I´m also using the new Balanced Output Module "UIT" here.

This is not supposed to be musical ;-)"

Just a Minute - GIVE II VCO melodying

Published on Dec 5, 2019 Stefan Tretau

ST Modular GIVE II posts

Some info on the module via ST Modular

"Give II12 HP Classic Analog VCO with additional Frequency Divider and Waveform Mixing OptionsIt is not a substitution for GIVE I, but rather another version as it is based on the same core circuit. Actually both versions complement each other very well building a powerful complex oscillator.The VCO provides five outputs, the last four of them can be mixed with an integrated mixer: PULSE, SAW, TRIANGLE, 3x PULSE SUB & NOISEPatching a voltage/audio source into FM you can frequency modulate the oscillator. Incoming voltages can be attenuated with FM CV. In the middle of the module you will find the PWM potentiometer. Here you may change the pulse width of the pulse wave. The width may also be controlled via external voltage with the PWM jack and the PWM CV attenuator.Just like all other classic analog VCOs GIVE II also tracks one volt per octave with the help of the 1V/OCT input jack. Each wave can also be hardsynced by an external wave patched to the SYNC jack.In addition to the classic VCO functions GIVE II also provides an integrated frequency divider. The MIX output jack will not only supply the waveforms SAW, TRIANGLE and NOISE, but also provides up to 3 sub octaves derivated from the PULSE waveform. The volume of each suboctave may be adjusted with the potentiometer SUB 1-3. ORIG will adjust the volume of the original PULSE signal. Using the switch ORIG SQU you can flip the SQUARE waveform."
