Bluelantern Mu Format Phrogs Analog VCF Poly Patch. Low Pass adventure.

video upload by flavio mireles

"Poly patch on a fully blue lantern modules Mu format system. I use (4) Phrogs filters, (4) VCO's, and a Yarns midi to cv. The fx are done using external behringer racks, connected to the soon to be released 4 channel Mu Mixer. Phrogs analog filter has an on board simple decay envelope generator, and a vca. You can easily make a poly patch. External modules used for control: BLM Active Multiple, BLM Joy rider Euro Format Joystick, and BLM MegaClite Digital LFO.

Low Pass filter output is demonstrated.

Each voice was panned left or right. This is done on the up coming Mu format 4 channel stereo mixer. One the lower (bass) voice, I added a Mu Format ADSR. Gate was daisy chained through the ADSR and into the Phrog's trigger input. In the video it has a large green square led."

Mu Format VCO demo

video upload by flavio mireles

"I use (2) VCO's to demonstrate CV's and the two sync's. An Mu Format ADSR was used for the sync. It has the square green led. The output was patched through the Mu Format 4 channel mixer. There are AC capacitors on the Mixer, this gives some slew to the wave forms. You can see the slew on the scope.You can't hear this distortion by ear to the waveform. Just about all audio gear has AC coupling, no big deal."

"Fully voiced metallic high hats generator. There is are 2 XOR circuits in here. 1 can be frequency manipulated with knobs, and the other if fixed. Selected by toggle switch. There is also a 12db analog high pass filter, with OTA VCA and another Tone control at the end of the signal patch. 2 possible decaying triggers are possible. One is open hh, and the other is a shorter close hh."

New Gimme Some Snare Drum Module from BLM

video upload by flavio mireles

Modules used in the demo:
BLM GS-SNARE Drum
BLM GS-Drum
BLM Scope
BLM MegaCLite LFO
Acid n SOns VCF
Braids Blue Lantern Version
Arturia Beat Step Pro for Sequences
LML VCO for modulation



MODEL: BLM GS-SNARE, Gimme Some Snare

WIDTH: 16hp

CURRENT: +107mA,-97mA

Price $245.00

What does this do?
This is a mini analog synthesizer that produces snare drum sounds. Inspiration was taken from the 5U Cor Synth DR02 module. Only the flow chart was studied and used to create this BLM product. VCV Rack was also used to simulate and test the building blocks.

Most of the circuits contained in this product are from other blue lantern module designs.

Some of the building blocks:

-2 1V/Octave Triangle Core VCO's
-2 Sine Wave Shapers
-4 Envelope Generator
-White Noise Generator
-High Pass Filter
-Tone Filter
-2 VCA's
-Mixer

The goal of this module was to recreate some of the more exotic electronic snare sounds.
Your not getting another Roland 'TR' module with the Gimme Some Snare Drum. All the building blocks contain
full analog circuitry, like OTA chips, and Op-amps. No vintage transistor based (Bridge T Oscillator) circuits are used in this product.

The best description I can give you inquiring what the kind of snare drum sounds this module can produce is something comparable to: an Electribe Korg ER-1, Simmons Snare Drum, and the Mattel Synsonics.

Blue Lantern Cmos FX Processor MK2

videos uploaded by flavio mireles

Update: added a playlist with four demos above.

See the dealers on the right for availability.

"This module has all the internal circuits to complete a voice: sound generation + envelope generation + amplifier control.

The sound generation is interesting. The core is using 3 CMOS based oscillators that are performing exclusive 'or' logic.
This is known as 'XOR' ring modulation. This entire circuit is being voltage starved, a technique common among the advanced circuit bending hobby.
For example, portable vintage toys that use batteries sound different as there batteries loose voltage. I designed a CV controllable
circuit that simulates the 'dying batteries' scenario.

This is where the product's name comes from: CMOS FX Processor. Incoming audio is internally conditioned
to be those dying batteries. To my knowledge I don't think there is any other euro format product that uses this technique.

-CMOS FX INPUT jack has a capacitor on it's signal path, making this an AC input.
-MOD INPUT jack is a DC signal path.
-FM INPUT jack is also a DC signal path, but with level control (attenuator).

Envelope Generator

This is a digital based 1 shot circuit, that has 8 wave forms. The decay knob controls the tail of the envelope. There is no parameter for attack.
Some of the wave forms have set attack times if you require some 'fading' in on the control.
-Regeneration 'REGEN' parameter is a feedback. This controls the looping of your envelope.
-Delay parameter controls the time until the next 1 shot of your loop.
-Decay knob needs to be adjusted as you experiment using Regen and Delay parameters. Shorter decay times work best and make the looping faster.
-Envelope Output is 0-10V.

Amplifier Control

The internal circuit is an OTA based '13700' vca design.
-Accent input jack is a POSITIVE only conditioner. For example if you patch a -5/+5v signal, only the +5v portion reaches the VCA control.
This is good for making the audio louder at given intervals, but not making the audio 'mute'.
-VCA CV input jack is a direct DC coupled input. This will make the audio fade in and out of volume. Both positive and negative values make it to the VCA control.

How to use this module.

For best results you will need a sequencer or sample and hold from a digital fancy module. You can practice first by patching this to the 'FM' input and find your sweet spot with its level.
You will need to patch a 'tempo' to the trigger or you can use the W Pulse clock to trigger this product.

Once you got the hang of the module, make a sequenced based patch with your other modules. Use the CMOS FX Processor at the end of the audio signal path chain to 'Process' your audio.
Your going to here some bizzare techno. If you have a scope, the wave forms on the output are really crazy to see."

"The Module is built and ready to go, not a DIY kit. It is a desktop completed unit, it powers on and works, no modular case installation needed.

The signals, and patching is compatible with Euro Format, Korg SQ-1, minibrute, etc.

This is loaded with parasites alternative firmware.

The desktop module is: 6.5" x 8.25"

The controls are larger than the euro format version. This is intended for precise control."
