Pittsburgh Modular Announces New VERBTRONIC Eurorack Module

via Pittsburgh Modular

"Reverb creates the illusion of space, adding another dimension to sound and offering a sense of time and distance. The Verbtronic digital reverb module generates spaces large enough to overwhelm sounds and smear the audio spectrum with a wash of relentless reflections and echoes, building a tidal wave of never-ending feedback.

'Space...is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.' - Douglas Adams

We did not design the Verbtronic to mimic the real world; instead we have created a reverb full of lush, artificial spaces that blend perfectly with the electronic sounds of modular synthesis.

The Verbtronic controls offer a full palette of reverberation effects. Tonal Tilt shifts the frequency emphasis from low and dark to high and bright, acting as a tone control for the reverberated signal. The Feedback knob sends a variable portion of the output signal back into the input, creating results similar to simultaneously adjusting both reverb density and decay time. The Verbtronic voltage controlled Mode switch flips between two unique reverbs: Verb mode is a shorter, more natural sounding reverb, perfect for augmenting leads and more fragile sounds; and Tronic mode creates a much larger, synthetic sounding reverb. The voltage controlled Output Mix knob smoothly shifts between the dry input signal and 100% reverb. Giant percussion drowning in feedback and alien soundscapes are just the beginning....Mix in a touch of reverb to add a sense of space or turn it up for full signal saturation. Dial in the perfect mix for any sound.

Price, Availability, and More Information
The suggested retail price for the Verbtronic module is $199 and it begins shipping to our dealers August 14. More information available at pittsburghmodular.com/verbtronic."

I used the internal step sequencer.

The AN1x is my only virtual analog synthesizer and this say a lot I think. Crappy hardware but fantastic sound."

The Anatomy of a Drone - Patch of The week

Published on Aug 6, 2015 Doug Lynner

I believe the Triple Wave Shaper wave folding video Doug refers to at the beginning is this one.

"How to patch a four voice drone for maximum texture and timbre!

Though this is illustrated on a Serge the concepts apply to many modular synthesizers. Let me know how you apply this on your modular synthesizer.

To see the modules used in this patch in detail see the Mystery Serge at http://www.serge.synth.net/gallery/dl....

tELHARMONIC Harmonic Algorithm

Published on Aug 6, 2015 MAKEN0ISE

"For the Harmonic Algorithm, H-OUT, each of the three voices is a 24-partial harmonic oscillator, using
high-resolution sine wave generators. The timbre is varied by the CENTROID and FLUX parameters, with CENTROID
setting the loudest of the 24 harmonics, and FLUX setting the steepness of the gain roll-off around that center
harmonic. When FLUX is full CCW (0% modulation) the spectrum is flat and sweeping the CENTROID will ripple the
spectrum (like a string harmonic). When FLUX is increased, the harmonics surrounding the CENTROID decrease in
amplitude and the sound becomes more focused upon the center harmonic, which causes modulation of the
CENTROID to have a more dramatic effect.

When FLUX is not set to 0%, a trigger or gate in the H-LOCK input, or a press of the H-LOCK button, will cause the
partial that is currently selected by the CENTROID parameter to be locked ON at full amplitude even after
CENTROID changes. By sequencing CENTROID and Locking harmonics, many additive timbres can be found. Press
and hold the H-LOCK button for 1 second, or set Flux to 0% via panel control or CV, to clear all locked harmonics.
This parameter affects all three voices of the H-OUT, but does not affect the P or N OUTs."
