New Audio Damage ADM07: Mad Hatter Eurorack Module Demo

Quick Demonstration of ADM07: Mad Hatter Published on Dec 12, 2014

"I just cranked this out quickly to show a brief overview of the general use cases of our Mad Hatter module. More sophisticated video coming next week."

"What do you get when you take a shift register noise generator and the six-square-wave oscillator stack from the TR606 cymbal source and put 'em in one unit? Mad Hatter!

As a digital noise source, Mad Hatter is, well, as versatile as a digital noise source can really be. The COLOR control and CV input is the clock speed of the shift register, from chaotic oscillations to white noise.

This noise is then paired with the oscillator stack, six square waves at frequencies measured from our own TR-606. (For added versatility, the COLOR knob also controls the pitch of two of those oscillators, sweeping them over a 1-octave range.) The oscillators run through a pair of bandpass filters, in the same manner as the TR-606's cymbal sound.

This whole mess goes to a high-pass filter, with a frequency controlled with the HPF FILTER FREQ knob and CV input. After that, it's out the out-hole to your favorite VCA, for easy-to-patch hi-hat and cymbal sounds.

The bottom knob and CV input, CROSSFADE, mixes from the audio input to 100% noise (at 12 o'clock) to 100% oscillators. The audio input is used for mixing in an external oscillator (or whatever) for patching a snare drum without a mixer.

All in all, a versatile and handy addition to your modular setup.
» Digital shift register noise plus 6 square wave oscillators for easy x0x-style cymbal synthesis.

» COLOR knob controls shift register noise clock and oscillator stack pitch.

» HPF FREQ knob controls high-pass filter frequency.

» CROSSFADE knob mixes from audio input, through noise, to oscillator stack.

» CV control of all parameters.

» 8HP panel size.

» Skiff-friendly 20mm depth.

» 90ma current draw."

Arturia Minibrute SE & Korg Volca Keys

Published on Dec 12, 2014 DreamsOfWires

"Arturia Minibrute - arpeggio and improvised melody
Volca Keys - pads and bass
A simple arp made from a sequence on the Minibrute, then random notes from a chord played by hand over the top. Pad sections were made with the Volca Keys in polyphonic mode, using a midi keyboard to play it."

CFM - BHWR (Bipolar Half Wave Rectifier)

Published on Dec 12, 2014 DivKidMusic

"A great little module from CFM. 2HP (so small, little space filler!), passive and really useful. Split or combine bipolar waves into (or from) their positive and negative signals.

Hit subscribe and like for more videos every week."

This is the first CFM post.

"Three sine waves patched into the BHWR. The first two sines waves are patched into the the first rectifier. That rectifiers bipolar jack is the plugged into the the second rectifier along with the third sine. The second rectifiers bipolar jack is the recorded sound.

The three sines waves frequencies are modulated by the a Turing Machine with the Voltages expander, an A-147, and a Wogglebug."

"CFM Bipolar Half-Wave Rectifier

The Bipolar Half-Wave Rectifier is a passive half wave rectifier, with outputs for the positive and negative rectified half wave. Due to its passivity, it can be used backwards, to combine the positive half of one signal, and the negative half of another. The signal can be in the in the audible and sub-audible range, for audio and CV signal processing.

Simply put it separates a signal into two parts/channels/halves, the positive and negative half.
In reverse it combines the respective halves of two signals into a single signal.

Using it in its regular configuration enables the patching of the two halves of a wave to different sound processors, rather than sending both halves of the wave to two processors, and then mixing the signal. When mixing the signal the sound can become muddy very quickly,while splitting the signal will allow the processing which is occurring to be heard more distinctly. This idea can of course also be used the other way round, sending the full signal to the two sound processors, and then patching the processors outputs into the positive and negative sockets of the BHWR.Using it in reverse with two audio signals can also yield interesting ring/phase modulation style effects, or, using CV signals, can provide interesting ways to mix CV.

A simple utility module, with countless complex applications."
