"Whether its turning simple mono synths into sounding like music easels, taking a basic polysynth and making it sound like a complex oscillator or just generally continuing to be a weird and wonderful effect for synths ... I'm pretty fascinating with this one. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
The Square ring modulator pedal, Boutique, Hand Made & Designed By Me.
Intro
The Square pedal is simply a ring modulator that takes the input signal and sends it to both inputs of the ring modulator at the same time.
Despite it's simplicity, The Square is capable of producing a wide variety of sounds depending on what you put into it.
Each pedal is unique and made by hand, from the hand bent metal enclosure to the component choices and tolerances. Imperfections are considered part of the aesthetic appeal both sonically and physically.
To understand what the pedal is and all the magical things it can do for your musical productions, we strongly recommend watching the video from DivKid below.

"The Luna from Neutral Labs is an instrument built on binary logic.
Taking inspiration from the DIY Lunetta synths of the 70s and 80s, Luna’s core architecture is built using CMOS chips, square waves, logic gates and binary processors. Its design leads to a semi modular instrument where rhythm is just harmony slowed down. Oscillators can be clocks, and the logic gates and binary processing modules can be involved in modulation and sequencing, or as audio processors depending on how fast you work them.
Luna supplements these binary ideas with a number of additional features which take it beyond the Lunetta synths of old, like pitch quantization with multiple scales, pitch sequencing, MIDI control and digital effects, as well as a three channel output mixer with low-pass gates.
In this video I’ll go through the various fundamental sections of Luna, demonstrating how they can be used to influence the synth, both at sub-audio-rate for sequencing and modulation as well as at audio-rate as sound processors, and then move on to a few full patches to explore how everything operates together. Throughout the video I’ll scatter a few other patches of various types to give you an idea of the range of the Luna in different musical settings.
Transparency notice: Neutral Labs Kindly sent this instrument over to me for free for the purposes of making videos about it."
"Here's another patch on the gorgeous @genkiinstruments Katla synthesizer.
For this keys patch I made use of Katla's voice rotation, with one of 5 voices tuned an octave higher than the rest, resulting in unpredictable pitch jumps in the melody, which I love. I didn't make use of Katla's oscillators for this patch, in stead the sound is coming from the filter with the resonance fully up, which tracks pitch very nicely when tuned with the simple calibration mode of holding down the two filter mode knobs.
I'm a big fan of these singing filter sine waves, which always feel a tiny bit unstable which makes them sound magical. To top it off I'm modulating the panning of the voices, I blended in some of Katla's lovely noise for some warble and I added some of the amazing internal reverb, which reminds me a bit of my Vongon Ultrasheer. I love this sound so much and I've never heard any other synth make it quite like this!
You don't see me playing the keys in the video, but I played this patch for hours, instant inspiration really. This melody is came out of that improvisation.
Thank you for watching!
ps. sine waves generally don't translate all that well on phone/laptop speakers, so speakers/earbuds/headphones advised.
Katla is shipping as of this week, find more info at: https://genki.is/"
"The Ballista Blast is Shakmat Modular's hybrid digital/analog modular voice, squeezing a remarkably deep feature set into just 12HP. In this video, I walk through all three engines — Classic, Wavetable, and FM — and show you what this module is really capable of.
The Classic engine layers saw and square waves through two switchable analog VCFs (acid or bubbly, your call), a VCA, and an onboard distortion unit. The Wavetable engine runs a customisable wavetable set through that same analog chain, bridging digital texture with analog warmth. And the FM engine brings original multi-operator algorithms — up to four operators per patch — controlled via three macro knobs that keep complex FM territory surprisingly playable.
CORRECTION: The FM engine is actually a lot more complex than I describe in the video, and can do more than 2-op FM depending on the algorithm you choose.
Tying it all together: an onboard envelope, an assignable random generator, velocity and gate inputs, and nearly parameter-wide modulation assignment.

A "Little Synth" Designed by Legends
Crumar S.P.A., based in Castelfidardo, Italy, was a notable player in the 1970s musical instrument industry, specializing in home organs, digital pianos, and multi-sound keyboards, and with a significant focus on the U.S. market. Sante Crucianelli, the son of the owner, became the driving force behind Crumar's design and strategies. Crumar became known for its open lab culture, frequently allowing competitors to test instruments, a rare practice for the time. Another key figure during this period was Luciano Jura, a designer, musician, and programmer. Luciano became crucial as Crumar's point of contact with synth pioneer Bob Moog, which led to a collaboration that resulted in the creation of Crumar's Spirit synthesizer.
Although many details have been lost due to the passing of key figures and the closure of Crumar, the development of the Spirit synthesizer in the U.S. is well documented. Key contributors to the project, codenamed "Little Synth," included Moog engineer Jim Scott, Moog clinician and electronic music historian Tom Rhea, and Bob Moog himself. The project likely began around 1980 or 1981, and incorporated elements from earlier projects by Scott and Moog. Rhea played an essential role in defining the Spirit's key features, such as the keyboard scanning setup, panel layout, functional architecture, and technical documentation. The Crumar Spirit went into production and was released in late 1983.
"This is a demo of one of my vintage modules that I just radically updated. First, a bit of history. Circa 1988, I was browsing the Hosfelt Electronics catalog, and saw a bunch of little circuit boards there that made different 'emergency' siren sounds. Of course, I couldn't resist buying all eight of them that they had, and designed a synth module around them that allowed me to switch (manually or via external signals) the audio output from any of them into the left or right channels on a common stereo mix. In addition to a linear mix, I also combined them via a chain of exclusive ORs (the VCOs on these units produced square waves), again selected by the same gates - this produced kind of a ring modulation sound (Exclusive OR's can be thought of as 1-bit multipliers). On the front panel, I also provided outputs from each oscillator independently, as well as the ability to inject independent voltage control into each oscillator.
Despite my attempts to leverage this module into different patches, it retained a distinct identity - e.g., the sound of a major urban emergency - that limited its usefulness. You can hear a short demo excerpt I recorded on it circa 26 years ago here- http://Paradiso.media.mit.edu/Outgoin... - I'm switching outputs from the alarm circuits randomly to left and right channels throughout - the first half features the linear mix and the latter half the XOR mix. You can clearly hear that this module makes a very strong statement -as such, it didn't appear much in my pieces over the years.
But I still saw big potential in it. 8 oscillators aren't much by today's digital standards, but as I can switch them into different paths dynamically, it's got promise. The main thing I had to do was to be able to turn off the LFO control of each oscillator that made the siren sounds and think about coordinated ways to control this bank.
So a month or two back, I embarked on this journey, enabling the LFOs to be switched out of the audio oscillator voltage control paths (but giving independent access to them all, providing LFO outputs on the front panel and in most cases voltage control of LFO frequencies), plus providing adjustable voltage control of each oscillator as well as different kinds of ensemble voltage control (e.g., controlling all 8, controlling the top vs bottom 4, controlling even vs odd channels), as well as being able to adjust the base frequency of the ensemble and the base for each independent oscillator. Witness the massive augmentation of the front panel, as well as the wild nest of wiring below to do this hack in the midst of this video.
But low-and-behold it's done. This isn't a voiced device - the oscillators are linear, hence don't hold tune collectively as you shift frequencies. This, for me, justified the hack - I've got plenty of oscillators that I can already voice and track harmonically - this unit is now about nudging frequencies collectively and independently to go through different kinds of dissonances and occasionally sweet spots in a deep ensemble fashion. Plus, if I want to, I can switch channels back into siren mode, or use their LFOs in more flexible ways (each of the LFOs sports a different kind of waveform).
OK, IMO it grew into the monster that I hoped it would become, as you can hear in this live recording. Here I routed both the linear and XOR outputs through different complex reverb units, fading them up in different ways and at different times, and switching the oscillator outputs dynamically into different channels using digital gates coming from other modules in my system (occasionally I would hold some or all of the gates to just let the thing drone). I also injected different kinds of ensemble control (all, even/odd, top/bottom) at different times to bend the frequencies a bit, driven by triggered envelope generators. All sounds come from this revamped 'Beeps' unit - one voice was routed through an octave divider to bring it lower, and some effects were used, plus the reverbs nicely put this beast into a dense dreamy space. Despite the complexity, it's one of the simplest patches I've made - you can see it in the little bit of pan-around video I put into the middle of the clip.
My usual disclaimer - heck, only 8 oscillators with simple control paths could be done trivially in software now (one of my hero-pieces, Dave Wessel's 'Antony', an inspiration here, used hundreds on IRCAM's 4x (or 3x back then?) circa 30-40 years ago), and there are probably Eurorack modules around like this now too, including some that I may already have. But this connects to something I made in my relative youth, turning it into the sonic tool that it wanted to be. I hope you enjoy this demo!"

Press release follows:
Clatters Machines announces availability of EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) as Eurorack expander module for Sibilla stereo digital oscillator
SAN BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO, ITALY: small town lovers of music and electronic instruments Clatters Machines is proud to announce availability of its EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) — latterly translated (into English) as the Sun and the Moon, marketed as a 6HP Eurorack expander module for its Sibilla stereo digital oscillator (that translates the beauty and harshness of a semi-barren mountain into a 10HP Eurorack module that sculpts sound with various saw and sine waves running through intricate delay networks altered by LFOs — Low Frequency Oscillators — and white noise to create constructive and destructive interferences, enabling ever-evolving soundscapes that can be both droning and/or melodic in nature) to allow anyone to use this majestic modular pairing in two different ways, depending on the uploaded firmware — as of November 15…
Same panorama under different glows. With wonderfully evocative words like those framing Clatters Machines’ concept of being able to see the same panorama — in this case, the mountain of Sibilla that lends its name to the small town lovers of music and electronic instruments’ much-loved Eurorack module — under different lights and shadows, EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) literally sounds interesting. Indeed, depending on the uploaded Sibilla firmware, it can either act as an actual Sibilla expander — enabling direct control over more of that module’s parameters — or a stereo pitch-shifting drone effect — enabling users to process an external oscillator in the same way that Sibilla processes its internal waveforms.
Digging deeper, the EXP firmware adds more control of Sibilla’s internal AR (Attack Release) envelope and filter resonant frequency. For instance, it is possible to transition from long release droning pads to crazy and noisy percussive sounds as a result of this.
The FX firmware, for its part, turns the Sibilla-plus-EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) modular pairing into an intricate stereo pitch-shifting drone effect, effectively splitting the incoming sound into two separate pitch-shifted tracks whose stereophony is affected by the movements of the LFOs, multiple instances of white noise, delay lines, and sampled bits of audio. Thanks to the configurable Eurorack/line stereo inputs, it is possible to process an external oscillator, instrument, or sample in the same way that Sibilla processes its internal waveforms — by creating an intricate network of pitch-shifted delay lines, freezing them, and looping them, thereby creating a complex architecture of resonant frequencies and pitch-shifted audio tracks moving through the stereophonic field, in other words.
'As an intricate and evolving drone machine, Sibilla has been a major inspiration for both us as musicians and also many customers — couldn’t be prouder of this.” So states Clatters Machines Co-founder, engineer, electronic designer Michelangelo Nasso, before delving into the enticing EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) backstory by way of ending with some wonderfully evocative words of his own: “As a result of product showcases at festivals and fairs where we chatted with musicians, friends, and customers, we started wondering how well-known oscillators and instruments would have sounded if processed in the same way that Sibilla does with its internal waveforms; we realised at the same time that Sibilla would not be complete without more control over basic elements such as its internal envelope, so we decided to combine two ideas for two new expander modules into a single unit — namely, EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna), a ‘dual’ expander that allows Sibilla to be used in two different ways... like looking at the same mountain under different tones and glows.'
EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) is available worldwide — with a choice of silver- or black-coloured aluminium front panels — from Clatters Machines’s growing global network of retailers (https://clattersmachines.com/retailers-3/) or directly via its online Store (https://clattersmachines.com/shop/) for €164.00 EUR (plus VAT, if applicable).

"Tela orchestrates a vast array of resonant peaks, intertwined to form a critical mass of sound. It models nothing – it's a synthesizer for the here and now, to discover and create anew.
In a careful balance of depth and immediacy, Tela explores the inherent character and capabilities of modal synthesis. Like a practical joke, Tela bends a myriad of partials into perfect symmetrical waveforms only for them to dissolve into otherworldly timbres and textures mere seconds later. There are no rules.
Modal synthesis
Imagine hitting a thin piece of metal, a piece of glass or the membrane of a drum– the material vibrates and rings out with its inherent timbre, affected by the motion of the impact and the strength of the hit. This is the basis of what modal synthesis recreates.

A Living Beast
MYTH was built to create the joy and inspiration we feel when playing with hardware. Instead of “programming” sounds you create sounds by exploration and tweaking. The sound is rich and organic, and the entire system acts like one organism.
Re-synthesis
In classical synthesis, oscillator waves are mostly static and you add filters and modulators to "program" all the variations to make the sound organic and interesting. MYTH offers a paradigm shift: drag and drop audio and it will be re-synthesised as an IRIS. The inherent variations and richness of the sample can now be exploited with the TRANSFORMER dials. Of course - you can also add classical LFOs, envelopes or filters as much as you want. Just...you will rarely feel the need!
Look Mum, no Cables
Modular systems are so powerful, but also complex and easily confusing. MYTH has modules, but no cables: like in a pedal board the modules are simply chained from left to right. Insanely powerful and unbeatably simple!
Weird and Wonderful
You can use MYTH as a virtual analog subtractive synth, create shimmering metallics, add colourful acoustic resonances, create glittering grain clouds ... or do all at the same time. From fragrant pads to striking kicks - MYTH can do any sound with ease. And if you prefer to ride a wild horse: there are things like ORBIT, GLURP or ATARI PUNK - weird and wonderful new stuff.
The Fastest Workflow in the West
Let's be honest: sound design can be tedious, and we all love tweaking presets! MYTH goes one step further with a randomisation system on steroids: for example you can freeze sections to keep them unchanged. Or you "breed" new presets from a selection of parent presets. Or you take a sample and then browse through presets to put them over your sample like a dress. It's incredibly easy, fast and fun!
Full Specs
Advanced organic re-synthesis based on machine learning. More than 700+ presets created by more than 10 sound designers and artists. Intuitive modular system. Trainable resonators (by dropping a sample). Virtual analog filters. Creative midi effects. Full MPE support. Build-in tutorial system. Powerful and innovative randomisation system.

"The workshop by AtoVproject about the DHO – Dual Harmonic Oscillator at SchneidersLaden. AtoVproject introduce their exciting new oscillator and play a performance so you can hear the module in a musical context.
Complex oscillators are renowned for their amazing sonic potential. The DHO uses the power of digital controls to improve accessibility and inspiration. Each analog oscillator generates four octaves of triangle waves and modulates each other using through-zero FM. All of this is channeled through a four-stage diode wavefolder.
For extremely complex modulation there is the power of simplex noise implemented in the DHO. This is an algorithm straight out of the video game industry. One twist of a knob allows you to dynamically modulate 10 parameters. You can explore infinite soundscapes and give life to the whole module with just one CV input. This fantastic noise source can also direct the frequencies of up to 10 internal LFOs, injecting motion and complexity into your sound without cluttering your rack with external modulation sources."
