Saturday Night in the Studio with The Horrorist & Chicago Police

Published on Sep 22, 2012 by Oliver Chesler

"I decided to stay home this weekend. I stopped by Control in Williamsburg and picked up a new module for my Eurorack system. I bought a Toppobrillo Multifilter. You can hear it in the above videos filtering a Wiard Oscillator through a Make Noise Echophon. The clock and drums are from a Korg Rhythm 55. An Analog Solutions Telemark is providing some LFO modulated white noise snares and a Korg Monotribe is joining in with some resonant rides. Both the Telemark and Monotribe are being pinged by an Intellijel uStep. There's also an Intellijel uVCA and Pittsburgh Modular ASDR doing some utility work. There's won't end up as songs as sometimes it good to just play around.

Electro-Harmonix vintage stereo pulse modulator

"This stereo pulse modulator surely is one of the earliest pedals EH ever made, even down to the Dymo labeling on the back. It's like a weird kind of vibrato or tremolo - modulates the input volume and adds beats or pulses to it. The timing of these is adjusted using the dials. It has RCA jacks (and will come with four 3' long cables), which suggests it was meant for home use almost as if you'd plug it into your stereo system, however this would result in very bizarre outcomes indeed.

As it is you'd need a stereo guitar or keyboard rig to experience all of its functions. The beats are irregular and don't line up in an orderly array as you'd expect with a modern tremolo or vibrato device. While I don't know for sure I suspect this is an intrinsic feature of the unit. The internal electronics are clean and show no sign of modification. So here's the bottom line: this is a peculiar unit with potentially few practical applications. If you're intrigued by what it does, or if you're an EH completist, or into sonic experimentation, then you should consider it. If you're looking for something that you can use immediately as a modern tremolo or vibrato effect, then I would get something else."

Rare SMS Triple VCA

"Analogue Modular Synthesizer with three independent VCA's. This is a 1U 19" rack module with 3 Voltage Controlled Amplifiers. It has it's own PSU built in so is easy to interface with your existing modules. Fully compatible with Euro Modular and all systems using standard CV's. 110VAC and 230VAC switchable.

A very useful module for all things Analogue Modular And Synthetic. I always think the VCA is an underestimated module within any synth set up. But a good balance is always required and the VCA is essential for patching, modulation and signal processing.

This module has some interesting features inc. simultaneous Log and Lin modulation. VCA 1 Has an inverting signal input which makes Voltage control of Resonance on a VCF easy without the need for extra modules. With a combination of Modulation and Signal levels some nice controlled and smooth signal distortion can be introduced.

If you consider the cost of these as individual modules and space they would take up in your rack your getting a good deal.

Approximately 5 Years old with very careful use.

1 0f only 10 modules made.

The 7 module range was designed to demonstrate the new SMS range and to complement the SMS MARS P7 system at the 2007 Musikmesse in Frankfurt but was never officially released."
