The Psychedelic Voltage Processor, or PVP, is a four-channel chaos module. It uses color-changing LEDs to produce fluctuating voltages in response to the Channel input, with each channel normalized in series to create increasingly chaotic “taps” that can be used one after another for different variations.

Any positive voltage input such as unipolar LFOs, envelopes, stepped voltages, or simply the onboard normalized voltage patched to a channel input is reproduced approximately on each channel output, with the PVP inducing unpredictable fluctuations due to the variable current consumed by an LED circuit with a mind of its own.

Technical Specifications (Eurorack standard)

Width: 8hp

Depth: 25mm

Peak Current Draw: 135mA @ +12V, 10mA @ -12V

Input Impedance (Channel 1): 150kΩ

Input Impedance (Channels 2-4): 100kΩ

Output Impedance (All Channels): 1kΩ, DC Coupled

PVP Wall Meets Serge VCFQ

video upload by SetonixSynth

"Had lots of fun making this generative patch. 5 SetonixSynth/Tidbit Audio Psychedelic Voltage Processors are chained together and controlling one of my favorite modules, the Serge VCFQ. Much of the variation comes from the precise feedback control provided by the SetonixSynth Laka, which is also mixing in a self-oscillating Marsupial filter and also controlling the VCFQ cutoff via its Sequential output.

5 Psychedelic Voltage Processor Feedback

video upload by SetonixSynth

"In this patch, we are using the SetonixSynth Laka Sequential Voltage Processor and five(!) Psychedelic Voltage Processors to create a mega chaotic feedback loop which is then simply being sent to a self-oscillating dual filter (SetonixSynth Marsupial). See and hear the results for yourself!

SetonixSynth & Tidbit Audio Solar Voltages Light Theremin for Eurorack - Full Demo Video

video upload by SetonixSynth

"Official demo video for the Solar Voltages Light Theremin by SetonixSynth & Tidbit Audio, with an explanation of the module and some fun patch examples.

More info about the Solar Voltages can be found here: https://www.setonixsynth.com/solar-vo..."

"The Solar Voltages is a 2hp, 2-channel Solar Cell module which outputs two separate control voltages in response to light. Each channel outputs approximately 0-5V, with higher voltages corresponding to more intense and/or direct light. As the two channels can be manipulated with relative independence, the Solar Voltages makes for a great low-profile and multi-dimensional 'light theremin' for direct and spontaneous control of two different parameters at once.

Please note: as the Solar Voltages draws a finite amount of current from incoming light, connecting an output to multiple inputs without a buffer will reduce its maximum voltage output. To increase the range when controlling multiple inputs if desired, we recommend using a buffered multiple."

SetonixSynth Marsupial Dual / Stereo VCF for Eurorack - Sound demo

video upload by SetonixSynth

"This demo contains four patches with the SetonixSynth Marsupial configured in four different ways: as parallel (stereo) low-pass, parallel band-pass, series (mono) low-pass and series band-pass.

To showcase the sound of the filter, there is minimal external processing. For the stereo patches the sound source is the Infrasonic Audio Warp Core, while for the mono patches the sound source is a simple sawtooth wave from our Rottnest analog VCO. The Marsupial is being modulated by a single Infinite Machinery ADSR, which is also modulating the gain level through a transparent VCA. No external fx or compression are applied."

Introducing: SetonixSynth Shaka-8 and Shaka-4 VC Stereo Matrix Mixer for Eurorack

video upload by SetonixSynth



"We are proud to announce the new Shaka-8 and Shaka-4! This demo contains a feature rundown and brief performance demo of these powerful modules.

The Shaka-8 is a Voltage-Controlled Stereo Matrix Mixer with an all-analog signal path. While it is similar in function to other Stereo Matrix Mixers, the Shaka-8 uses high quality audio VCAs to enable voltage control over each matrix patch point, i.e. the send level of each L/R pair of inputs to each L/R pair of outputs.

In addition to the 4 input and 2 output channels on the Shaka-8, the Matrix may be expanded to a 4x3, 4x4 or more matrix mixer by chaining Shaka-4 Stereo Matrix Expanders to the main unit via a 12-pin connector on the back of the Shaka-8. The Shaka-4 cannot be used without a main Shaka-4 unit.

The Shaka-8 and Shaka-4 operate in much the same way as a typical stereo audio matrix mixer, with the send level of each input to each output controlled by the corresponding knob, and the resulting “mix” being a sum of the knob settings in each column, added to the CV input corresponding to each knob.

For Eurorack users hungry for interesting new ways to route stereo or mono filters, oscillators, and effects, the Shaka-8 and Shaka-4 are sure to provide an affordable, flexible, and highly useful patching ecosystem to explore.

Available summer 2024 from SetonixSynth!"

New SetonixSynth SkyWave VCO

Feature Rundown w/ Robots Are Red video upload by SetonixSynth

"In this video, Brian aka Robots Are Red breaks down the unique control scheme of the new SkyWave Segmented VCO with audio examples that demonstrate its raw harmonic power."

via Setonix

SkyWave Segmented VCO

The SkyWave is an all-analog voltage controlled oscillator capable of producing many different timbres and unique harmonic behaviors, thanks to an original step-based control scheme which allows the user to dial in completely different wave-shapes and levels for successive oscillator cycles.

The SkyWave uses an internal feedback loop with the clock output of the oscillator triggering a step sequencer which in turn cycles through settings at the frequency of the core oscillator, thus changing the shape and level of the waveform output on a per-cycle basis while also staying in tune and tracking pitch like a typical VCO.

SkyWave Features:

-Complex analog oscillator in 14hp
-Unique “segmented” behavior
-Variable level and waveshape with full CV control and PWM
-Unique “SkyWave” output with sequential waveform control
-Selectable # of steps, clock input and reset for step sequencer
-Audio or LFO output frequency range
-Additional Sine and Clock waveform outputs
-TZFM/TZPM, 1V/Octave and Hard Sync inputs
-Clock division and per-step CV control via Scaffold expander

Technical Specs:
Width: 14hp
Depth: 30mm
Peak Current Draw:
80mA @ +12V, 60mA @ -12V
Input Impedance (All Inputs): 100kΩ
Output Impedance: 1kΩ

Setonix Synth and Bastl Dual Filters

video upload by John Schussler

"I've already looked at the Setonix Synth Marsupial. Really liked it, and was accordingly quick to order the Macropod when it became available. At about the same time I got ahold of an Ikarie from Bastl.

Between the three of them, I have a hard time choosing a favorite, and all are definitely keepers.

This is a short comparison to get a feel for their respective sounds. I'm not spending a lot of time on the Marsupial since I already covered it (see link in description/above), but do want it here so I can have a clear ear on how it differs from Macropod.

Source VCO is a Dannysound Cali Osc. Envelope from Zadar. Sequence from Stochastic IG. And a touch of Valhalla reverb at the end.

00:20 Marsupial
03:44 Macropod

8hp Eurorack Filters

video upload by John Schussler

"So you have 8hp available, and want to fill it with a filter. Here are some options. They aren't all the options, there are many, many more. But a few new 8hp filters have arrived recently (the XAOC, CCTV, and SetonixSynth), so it seemed like a good time to compare them with some other 8hp filters I have close at hand. For the most part I'll be listening to low pass outputs only.

Source audio is an Intellijel Dixie II+, with a mix of several waves. Envelope is from Zadar. Sequence from Stochastic SIG. A touch of Halls of Vallhalla reverb at the end.

00:00 Intro
