Stereo Triple Filter Network & Resonator // 3 Patches with OPALINA from Hieroglyphic
video upload by DivKid
"Coming in hot after Hieroglyphic's first release 'Plume' here we have OPALINA which is a stereo spectral playground. It's billed as a filter network, with triple band pass resonator modes and an isolator multi mode network. It has multi band outputs for creative modular processing, with the including expander it also has specific (and stereo) low mid and high band inputs. Loads to go at, but distilled down into exploring 3 patches here for our 3 PATCHES series of videos."

Smart Wavesplicing for Creative & Unique Tones & Modulation // 3 Patches with SW3 Splice from DPW
video upload by DivKid
"Here we have the new SW3 Splice module from DPW Design. It's a smart zero crossing and zero difference dual switch module ... a mouthful maybe, but it's two channels of intelligent switching for audio or CV with simple to use options for anything from making mutes, manual gates, click free audio switching, modulation waveform chaining and a whole host more.
This is a '3 Patches' series video, where we distill things down to just 3 patches, but I've added in some bonus bits where I wanted to change up something in the patch to explore how the module performs with other sources. Check out the patches below."
"Wavesplicing made simple. It works both with audio and control signals or a mix of those.
The SW3 is a module to splice (switch) any signal together with something else click free at up to high audio rate. A tool for audio and CV experiments. A way to expand what you already have into new sonic and control roams.
It can be dual mono, stereo coupled or switching mono into stereo for big stereo fields."
Splice made its first appearance on the site last October.

The Origins of the Krell Ambient Generative Synthesizer Patch // Todd Barton at Buchla & Friends
video upload by DivKid
"Join us at Buchla & Friends with the wonderful person that is TODD BARTON! Inspired by the work of Bebe and Louis Barron on the soundtrack to the 1950s film Forbidden Planet, Todd Barton created the classic Krell patch. A generative, ambient patch for modular synthesizers where random voltages influence (at it's most basic) the time, pitch and shape of your notes. We discuss the origins of Krell, the basics of the patch and how to expand it.
The 2026 Buchla & Friends event is happening January 24th-25th, be there, it'll be ace. Info below."

Creative Cross Modulating Eurorack Filters // Double Bubble by Thonk Synth
video upload by DivKid
"Here we have a new Eurorack DIY stereo filter from Thonk Synth. It's a stereo analogue multi mode filter made for creative modulation. Whether it's dual parallel channels, series filer routings, mono to stereo, stereo in and out or even mono filtering with a separate filter modulator (a filter modulator? What? - heads up, it's ace!). Check out the patches below."
"Double Bubble is a 16HP Eurorack dual analog multi‑mode filter designed for creative sound design and flexible signal processing. Each channel features an analog filter core that can operate in one of four modes – Low‑Pass, High‑Pass,
Band‑Pass, or Notch. The input of Channel A is normalled to Channel B so its easy to create stereo filter patches from a mono sound source.The two channels of Double Bubble can run as independent dual mono filters or be linked together for stereo operation. The filters can also be routed in serial configuration to create more complex signal paths such as a variable width bandpass or notch phasing effects. The SPACING control and wide range of CV inputs give deep modulation possibilities such as dynamic formant style filtering.
The FEEDBACK and XMOD (cross‑modulation) controls add further interaction between the two channels, ranging from subtle harmonic enhancement at low settings to more extreme, self‑modulating textures when increased. The dedicated V/OCT inputs for each channel allow the filters to function as FM oscillators or tone sources when pushed into self‑oscillation. This flexibility allows the Double Bubble to cover a wide range of roles, from precision cascading filter patches to dynamic stereo filtering and experimental feedback adventures!
Features:
Dual analog VCF with LP, HP, BP & Notch outputs
Resonance control per channel with switchable compensation
Mono, serial, parallel, stereo link routing options.
Cross modulation (XMod), FM and V/oct inputs per channel
Feedback with positive & negative phase
Frequency Offset Spacing with CV control
LED indicators for visual feedback on modulation and modes.
Designed in-house at Thonk"

Multimode Tube Filter, Saturator & Beyond! // VAMP from Apollo View Modular
video upload by DivKid
"With Vamp Apollo View modular took the early Korg MS-20 and MS-10 filter designs, which favoured non-linear character over stability and control, they added more character with a tube input saturation stage and tube resonance feedback path, further output clipping stage options and then designed in modern stability and control. I joke in the video the filter is so rubbery it might as well be wearing a gimp mask. Vamp is also multimode with low pass, band pass and high pass modes with routable pre/post VCA and gain option, smart normalled CV options and prevision circuitry to turn it into a full single module tube voice, killer kick drum and more.
Vamp, manual, signal flow & more at // https://www.apolloviewmodular.com/mod..."
VAMP
8HP Multi-Mode LP/BP/HP Sallen-Key Filter with Tube Saturation & Distortion
VAMP is a multi-mode analogue filter that gives you low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass responses in a compact 8HP design. At its heart lies a classic Sallen-Key topology supercharged with real vacuum tube (12AU7) saturation and multiple stages of clipping, letting you move seamlessly from smooth, hi-fi filtering to snarling, overdriven character.
One half of the tube is used to saturate the input, while the other half provide MS-20-inspired resonance limiting (tube, not diodes). With FLOW placing the VCA pre-tube or post-filter, and FANGS selecting Off / Soft / Hard output clipping, VAMP ranges from subtle warmth to ferocious harmonic destruction.
FEATURES
Three filter modes: low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass
Classic Sallen-Key topology with tube saturation and clipping
12AU7 vacuum tube: one half for input drive, one half for resonance distortion
MS-20-style resonance limiting/clipping for aggressive tones
FLOW switch: Integrated VCA pre-tube or post-filter
FANGS: output clipping: off / soft clipping / hard clipping
1V/Oct cutoff tracking: use VAMP as a VCO in self-oscillation
Extensive CV control: GAIN, FREAK (cutoff), REZ (resonance) (all with attenuverters)
Self-oscillation for screaming tones
