Malekko Wiard Noise Ring


via this auction

"The Noise Ring is a digital random voltage generator which can output quantised random voltages. Used at high clock rates it acts as a digital tone generator (similar to a noisy digital tone-wheel).
Additionally there´s a internal clock generator with output plus a analogue white noise source.

Technical details:
Based on a shift register, the Noise Ring processes its 8Bit information and reads them into its memory as a repetitive random sequence. Stepping thru the eight steps of this sequence is done by external or internal clock. The rate control sets the internal clock rate.
The Change potentiometer affects, if and how many new data are read into memory. the more new data the more the sequence changes.
The Chance control determines if the new data that are to be writtten into memory (derived from the noise source) rather contain "ones" or "zeroes". You can input external data, eg an oscillator (!) into the Chance Input

The random voltage outputs 1 and 2 have an amplitude of 0-10V and give quantized voltages. Either it quantizes to 1V steps (octave intervals) or 1/12V (semitone intervals).
The External Rate control randomizes the internal clock (one of the random outputs is pre-patched to the ExtRate jack), but oyu can inout other signals as well.
Clocks in audio rates make the NoiseRing play digital tones which can range also into digital noise. The Change control has a big effect on the sound character.

Inputs and outputs:
inputs: Chance CV in, Chance in, Change CV in, Clock in outputs: quantised outputs 1 & 2. Noise out, clock out

Measures and weight:
3U Eurorack module, width 14HP, depth (from back of faceplate) ~3.5cm"

Malekko Wiard Borg 2 Filter (Black)

via this auction
"The Borg Filter – A hybrid of Buchlas Lowpass Gate 292 und and the high-/lowpass filter of the Korg MS 20 (but without individual controls for resonance and cutoff) is a very interesting and aggressive filter which can be used as a VCA as well.
Did we already mention the Borg 2 is a true sub-bass monster and you can generate huge bassdrums with it?

Differences between Borg1 and Borg2:
The Borg 2 has black knobs.
It is the same as the original Wiard 1200 series FracRak module. It´s very aggressive, has a shorter decay time and sounds more brilliant.

Technical details:
The peaking control determines the resonance but also acts as a switch between filter or VCA. The resonance is strong and the filter self-oscillates very fast. A further control blends from low- over band- to highpass mode.
Because of the slow and inert Vacrols used in the circuit it is quite impossible to modulate the cutoff frequency with fast CV signals.

Inputs and outputs:
2x Audio IN
2x Audio OUT
2x CV IN (key in = 1V/oct)
1x CV OUT

Measures and weight:
3U Eurorack module, module width 12HP"


The Aching Void - M-Audio Venom Demo by Khoral

via Cafe 80

"Another improvisation on the Venom.
Some nasty high frequencies here and there : that's one nicely unpredictable instrument!
As for the previous track, all Venom, no external drums."
