No Mouse, No Menus, Just Pure Jamming | 1601 Sequencer


video upload by Behringer

"Introducing a Sequencer that set's your musical spirit free, no menu diving, no mouse clicking, just pure unadulterated Jamming. Join Patrick as he gets into this incredible new Behringer Sequencer."

You might remember Behringer teasing the 1601 back in 2021.



Pics and details via Perfect Circuit

"Bring the power of one of history's most legendary sequencers into your modern setup with the 1601 Sequencer from Behringer, a flexible CV and MIDI sequencer with desktop or Eurorack functionality. This sequencer maintains the same layout and versatile performance capabilities as the original while expanding its design to interact with MIDI and Eurorack CV ranges. There are sixteen steps in total which can be used sequentially, or in a split mode for functionality as two discrete eight-step sequencers. Each step of the sequencer provides a three-position switch which correlates to the three corresponding CV gate outputs for easily crafting multi-part sequences. An additional gate output has been included, which adds AND logic to the first switch position, allowing you to create accents for your sequences without any additional programming required. Modulate your sequences in real time with the FM and Pulse Width sliders and CV inputs, allowing you to affect the sequencer speed and gate length respectively. There are a variety of CV outputs to choose from to get the most out of your sequences, including both quantized and unquantized CV outputs, which can be used simultaneously. The unquantized version outputs raw 0V to 10V depending on the position of the slider on the current step, while the quantized output produces a two-octave voltage range for use with 1V/Oct inputs. Both the quantized and unquantized outputs are split into A and B sections, giving you the same exact functionality when splitting the sequencer into dual eight-step operation.

Included with the 1601 is a powered enclosure for desktop use, but it can be removed and installed in a Eurorack case as an 80hp module for seamless integration into your system. In addition to the 5-pin MIDI output on the front panel, the enclosure includes 5-pin MIDI input and thru, along with a USB jack for sequencing your USB-MIDI compatible gear and software. If you crave the hands-on playability of an analog sequencer, the 1601 Sequencer from Behringer brings the best of the past and present into one versatile sequencer.

1601 Sequencer Features

Three-position switches per-step with individual gate outputs for each position
Manual or CV Step and Reset controls for hands-on performance
16-step or dual 8-step sequencer operation
Discrete quantized and unquantized sequencer CV outputs

Moog Micromoog & Modular w/ AJH/MiniMod, Hermod+ analog synth jam


video upload by DreamsOfWires

"Testing my faulty Micromoog with some helpful modules from AJH Synth: My poor old Moog isn't scaling/tracking correctly, so the V-Scale module is being used to modify the 1V/Oct output of the sequencer to produce the correct notes. Video guide to how this was achieved: • Correcting Vintage Synths with V-SCALE - T... [below]

Normally the Micromoog follows a 0.95V/Oct voltage to pitch scale, but mine can no longer even be calibrated to this with it's internal trimmers, so until it can be serviced (probably with some new components), the V-Scale at least makes it useable with external controllers and sequencers.

Sequenced by the Squarp Hermod+, the synth's faulty tracking is then corrected using AJH Synth's V-Scale module, gates coverted by the AMSynths AM997 Gate to S-Trig converter.

Micromoog filter modulated by AJH Tap Tempo VC-LFO, random gate skip by AJH CHance Delay.

Correcting Vintage Synths with V-SCALE - Tackling Tracking & Tuning Problems #ajhsynth

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Using V-SCALE to compensate for the tuning/tracking problems on one of my Vintage Synthesizers, this time a Moog Micromoog from the late 70's. Also, showing how PRECISION VOLTAGES can also be helpful, and bringing the TAP TEMPO VC-LFO, CHANCE DELAY, and the MATRIX VCF into a short performance demo - FULL performance video by ‪@DreamsOfWires‬ can be found here: • Moog Micromoog & Modular w/ AJH/MiniMod, H... [above]

V-SCALE at its simplest will function as a highly accurate buffered multiple, but four of its five outputs are adjustable by way of multi-turn trimmers. These allow for very gradual adjustments to outgoing CV signals, so that they can be made viable for synths or VCOs that are not scaling properly.

Here I'm adjusting/modifying a 1V/Oct signal from a sequencer so that it controls my old Micromoog correctly, but it could also be used with incoming signals other than 1V/Oct, or even to correct am incoming signal which itself isn't scaling correctly or as desired. Each trimmer has an adjustment range of +/- 5%.

My Micromoog's tracking is so far off that it cannot even be corrected using the internal trimmers on the synth, so I'm using the Keyboard Output (KBD) as the CV input, instead. of the intended OSC input. This method bypasses the keyboard, so the keyboard voltage isn't added to incoming control voltages, and so doesn't interfere with it. The only drawback is that the root key will have to be changed to match the notes on a keyboard. That's where the PRECISION VOLTAGES comes in - it can accurately offset an incoming control voltage by semitones and octaves, either up or down."

Trilling Synths DARP: A Dreamy Dual Arpeggiator


video upload by Magical Synth Adventure

"Here's a detailed demo of the Trilling Synths DARP, an incredible dual channel MIDI/CV arpeggiator with a TONNE of musical functionality."



A powerful dual arpeggiator built for precise pitch, flexible timing and hands-on modulation. Both arpeggiators share the same scale or chord, while keeping independent control over mode, speed, floor note, octave range, gate length, glide and output behaviour. Two precision 16-bit CV outputs provide highly accurate 1V/oct tracking across a full 10-octave range. They can also operate as stepped modulation outputs, with adjustable glide between values.

A five-route CV router lets one bipolar CV input control up to five parameters at once, making it easy to create evolving patterns without extra utility modules. Each arpeggiator can advance from the internal or MIDI clock while also responding to its own trigger input, or run entirely from triggers.

Dedicated gate and wrap outputs provide a gate for every step and a trigger whenever an arpeggio completes its loop. A shared reset input restarts both arpeggiators, while MIDI can update the active scale or chord, sync other devices and send both arpeggios directly to external synths.

Instruō - ceithir overview


video upload by Instruō

• Quad stereo mixing VCA Morphable filter modes
• Stereo enhancement
• Internal LFO modulation
• Optimised Oscillator mode
• Pingable resonance
• Multiple limiter types

The culmination of years of filter experimentation at Instruō, ceithir is a quad state-variable filter and resonator system that expands upon the sonic architecture first introduced in the I-ō47. Each of its four analogue filter cores can operate independently as a traditional state-variable filter, a resonant sine waveform oscillator, or a precision pitch-trackable resonator, offering low pass, band pass, high pass, notch, and morphable responses alongside extensive CV control. Integrated waveshaping and soft-limiting circuits allow ceithir to move effortlessly from subtle harmonic enhancement to aggressive resonant saturation, while dedicated strike inputs transform each filter into a playable percussive voice.

Far beyond a conventional filter bank, ceithir is designed as an animated stereo sound environment. Advanced Morph and Width controls generate immersive spatial movement through phase manipulation by all-pass filtering, while four internally routed trianglewave LFOs create evolving modulation networks capable of continuously reshaping frequency, resonance, stereo enhancement, and timbre. With parameter linking, global frequency control, and integrated master stereo routing options, ceithir delivers the unmistakably musical character of Instruō filters on an entirely new scale."

SISKworks Cassettone modified tape instrument - Knobcon 2026


video upload by sonicstate

"Mike from SISKworks showed us the Modified Tape Player Prototype, a motor-controlled cassette instrument developed from his earlier "poor man's Mellotron" idea.

He explained that the original version uses one continuous tape loop with a constant tone. Five buttons trigger playback, and each button has a knob that tunes motor speed for a different pitch. The newer prototype keeps that five-key approach and adds a Daisy microprocessor for delay, reverb, filter, harmonizer and reverse grain effects.

The control knobs adjust the last effect engaged, and the filter can self-oscillate slightly. The unit also includes a step sequencer with normal, reverse, bounce and random directions. Steps can be switched on or off, and tempo, length, glide and swing are adjustable. A hold mode latches the last key for drone use.

The prototype includes gate, CV and clock inputs, and it is planned for 1V/oct tuning. It can use tape loops or full-length cassettes, but it does not record to tape. Pricing is not set, and the final version is likely to be desktop rather than Eurorack.

VAV N-Wave: Middle-Out Waveshaper


video upload by Magical Synth Adventure

"Join me as I take the @control_voltage VAV N-Wave Middle-Out Waveshaper for a spin!

The N-Wave is a really imaginative waveshaper. Some waveshapers might fold over the peaks of an incoming waveform, some might rectify them - squaring things off like a fuzz pedal. N-wave keeps the peaks of waveform - like the top and bottom of a saw wave - intact, and instead lets you shape and turn up on the volume on a section in the middle of the waveform - leading to unique tones. This is especially true, as you can vary the width of this middle section!"

video uploads by control_voltage

Playlist:

1. VAV N-Wave: Step Sequenced Threshold
One fun live performance (or studio) use for the N-Wave is to connect a Step Sequencer on the Threshold CV and generate different timbres for each step in a sequence. These act as accents and add a lot of life and feel to your sequences and the feel can easily be changed on the fly using something like a Joranalogue Step 8 as your source of steps.
2. VAV N-Wave: Threshold Ring Modulation
In Part 2 of the VAV N-Wave Video Manual, we look at using the threshold control and bipolar vca cv to create new waveforms that have a mixture of normal and ring modulated (quadrature) segments.
3. VAV N-Wave Mangles a Triangle
Here, the N-Wave does quite a number on an unsuspecting triangle wave with the help of some nearby modules. N-Wave is kind of like that one kid's house where everyone hung out and cooked up weird DnD campaigns or something. But for modular signals.



"N-Wave is a novel waveshaper for the Eurorack modular format. Unlike traditional wavefolders and clippers, which operate on the peaks of a waveform, N-Wave leaves peaks intact. All you need to expand your sound palette greatly is a VCO signal and a few twists of the knobs!

Using its internal bipolar VCA (aka four quadrant multiplier, aaka ring modulator) you can apply gain reduction and polarity inversion to an inner portion of the wave slope that you define with the THRESHOLD and OFFSET controls.

All functions can also be controlled via control voltage inputs. LFOs, Audio Rate VCOs, ADSR Envelopes, 1V/Oct signals, sequenced voltages, sample and hold signals, noise, and sub octave signals are all very good choices and can produce results ranging from very musical to very strange. An external detector signal can also be applied if you don't want to trigger the detector on the waveform you're modifying.

If you like, you can also use N-Wave as a high quality bipolar VCA, attenuverter, or ring modulator with the THRESHOLD set to maximum and dynamically mute the effect by applying 0V or a negative voltage to the threshold either using a sequencer or manual control, which allows for hocketing and rhythmic effects.

N-Wave can also operate all the way down to 0hz (DC), so, in addition to audio, it can process LFOs, envelopes, 1V/octave sequences, and any other signal that varies amplitude over time (Sorry, square waves and pulse waves. Your super-sonic rise times are hard to shape in an audible way, but you do work well as control signals).

N-Wave is 10HP and uses Burr Brown op amps for the primary signal path alongside high quality Texas Instruments ICs that are carefully chosen to best fit their roles in the circuit."

7555VCO 1


video upload by cirtcele

"Wide ranging sawtooth VCO with the hardest hard sync around."



via nonlinearcircuits

"Not the most exciting name, I simply wanted a 4HP sawtooth VCO to sit next to the Spectrum Shaper.

It is based on the Utility VCO in Electronotes EN67, which was based on designs by R. Tenny (Electronic Design 11/10/75), J.L. Brice (Wireless World (6/76) and others.

It tracks very nicely, turn the CV pot to max for 1V/oct, ranges from approx 10Hz to over 100kHz and supplies 10Vp-p sawtooth and square waves.

The Sync is the hardest of hard syncs around. I left out the capacitor usually used to turn sync signals into a pulse, so if you feed a gate or slow CV signal into Sync the VCO simply stops, think of it is a bonus VCA. Of course, if you use an audio rate sync signal, it works as normal.

It is a pretty easy build. not many parts. Do not mix up the BCM847 and BCM857 dual transistors, see the build notes for where to install a 1k tempco."

GEMINI 2412 Dual SEM VCF Sequencer Tweaking #eurorack


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Some 70's-inspired tweaking with the GEMINI 2412, SAMPLE & Hold, and a Sequencer.
Video & Performance by ‪@DreamsOfWires‬
The Gemini is based on the classic Oberheim SEM filter, but with expansive flexibility, including a unifying CV and Audio mixer section between the two multi-mode VCFs. There is a shared output for both filters in 'Dual' mode as used here, but also separate shared outputs for each VCF, through which filter mode can be selected, and individual outputs for LP, BP and HP filters on each.
Also, a jumper on the back alters the behaviour of both filters individually - standard SEM resonance range, or extended high resonance setting that'll allow the filter to self-oscillate. 1V/Oct inputs are present for both filters, so each can even be used as a simple sine wave oscillator over a few octaves.

Stupidly useful, simple & small // Low Fat VCF from AJH Synth


video upload by DivKid

"Here's a fun one and something stupidly simple, really easy to use, small, affordable but way more useful than you might think. It's the Low Fat VCF from AJH Synth, which is a 2HP non resonant (it's supppppeeeer smooth) high pass filter.

I think my favourite thing is using it to pair with low pass filters and to make a variable width band pass filter. It's also nice as a simple "clean up the mix" tool, as a pseudo spectral sidechain, multiband ducking style device or just for performance sweeping low end out of things."



"The Low Fat filter packs a switchable 6dB and 12dB slope High Pass Voltage controlled Filter into a miniscule 2HP of rack space, with a very low power consumption of less than 12mA per rail.

Sometimes there is just too much bottom end in a patch and it swamps everything else, by feeding it through the Low Fat Filter we can remove some of this bottom end to balance things up.

It also makes a great companion to the MiniMod Transistor Ladder Filter and can be placed before or after this in a patch to create a Band Pass filter with a variable passband and a choice of a softly rolling 6dB slope or a stronger 12 dB slope.

It's a great way to populate one of those frustrating gaps in your eurorack modular case with something that is deceptively usefuI.

In Depth

The LOW FAT is a new 2hp Eurorack module by AJH Synth, it's a High Pass filter, with frequency control by either manual pot, and/or external CV with attenuator. It's intended to compliment other filters, particularly low pass VCF modules, in practical tasks such as removing excessive low frequencies, for example when the bass is swamping a mix. It can be switched between 6dB (1 pole) response and 12dB (2 pole) response.

By patching a CV signal to the FCV input it can be voltage-controlled and used musically as with any other VCF. When used in conjunction with a LP filter it forms a fully customisable band pass filter, allowing the range of passbands to be cherry-picked. Feeding in a 1V/Oct pitch CV and setting the FCV pot to a suitable level allows it to track an incoming pitch CV, so the amount of High Pass filtering remains constant as the pitch of the incoming VCOs traverse up and down the frequency range. This can be particularly useful in creating percussive sounds, such as snares and hats, but also on sequenced bass lines. Since it is only 2HP it's a great way to occupy one of those frustrating gaps in your eurorack modular case with something that is deceptively useful, and adds another dimension to the classic bass monster that is the Transistor Ladder Filter."

introducing splines


video upload by Þ

"A first tour of the new splines eurorack module by thorn.audio out now.
For more information please visit the manual page at:
://thorn.audio/splines"

This one was sent my way via Meska.



"Splines is a visual vector curve generator in Eurorack format, with a wide frequency range and a built in quantizer, cv scope and cv processing capability.

It can be used in ways similar to a wavetable VCO, LFO, step sequencer or envelope generator.

Onboard quantizer scales, backups and firmware updates are managed as you would use an external USB drive.

It’s a small, shallow, multifaceted addition to any setup, and for touring rigs it can fill many roles in exchange for little space and weight.

in depth.
In the technical sense "splines" are most commonly used in 3d modelling, animation and vector graphics. It's essentially just a way of creating a curved path from one point to another.

In this module, you have up to sixteen user configurable points or nodes which function much like a step sequencer, where the X axis represents time and the Y axis represents voltage.

When the phase(time) reaches the X position of a node, the 1v/oct output changes to the Y position value of that node.

Each of the sixteen nodes also has a configurable trigger setting, determining if the gate output goes high when the phase crosses the X position of the node.

The nodes are connected by a spline and the shape of this spline is determined by three parameters; Tension, Continuity and Bias. The spline output gives you a voltage following this curve.

Tension changes how extreme the curve between the nodes is.

Continuity sets the angle of the spline at the node.

Get lost in Sound Effects with Nyquist Nightmare


video upload by Robots Are Red

"Nyquist Nightmare by Modular 4 the Masses
12hp Wacky FM Synthesizer designed to emulate the sounds of scanning radio frequencies and more!"


Modular for the Masses

Nyquist Nightmare

Audio Mangling Modulator/Demodulator

This module is a modulator/demodulator. The top four knobs interact with each other to take a signal and mangle it beyond all recognition, or if you're patient and lucky, let the signal come through mostly unchanged.

What is going on there? you ask. The input is used to frequency-modulate a VCO that can oscillate beyond anybody's hearing range. The resulting (possibly ultrasonic) signal frequency-modulates a second identical VCO. This leads to the kind of signal degradation you might expect from an AM radio transmission. Or a short wave signal fighting its way through a hurricane.

The rest of the knobs control filtering; high-pass to remove the truly ground-shaking rumbles the top for knobs can generate, and resonant low-pass to get the harsh high pitches out of the signal, and emphasize (for example) the frequency range of human speech, if you want to pass old movie dialogue through this.

Also included are a wet/dry control (while prototyping this module I would sometimes spend minutes looking for the perfect knob settings to allow a signal through just to realize the signal source had stopped playing), a CV input for the low-pass filter with an attenuator knob, and a effect volume knob.

Some fun things to try:

with zero input, try to get a modem sound!
connect a simple waveform and massage the top four knobs to fold the wave in surprising ways
David Lynch. Put David Lynch through this.
turn the resonance of the low-pass VCF up and use this as a VCO (not 1V/oct, I'm afraid
Turn both "Carrier" knobs all the way down, so the VCOs are stalled, and listen to the signal bash its way through
