The Orpho "Fullrush" is a combination of Tube-VCO and Noise Generator. It is a non-standard VCO module designed primarily as a noise generator. Two Russian military tubes (6SH1P) are used. The noise can be mixed in with a scope controller. When the noise component increases, the frequency of the oscillator varies until it is completely full. If you reduce the noise completely, the pure VCO signal is left over. Due to the "curved" characteristics of the tube oscillator, the module does not have a precisely defined control characteristic (e.g., V / octave). The inevitable tolerances of the tube oscillator will also make each module sound a little different. The tubes can also be replaced by two EF95 or similar. be exchanged, which then sound different again. By applying a control voltage to the CV input, e.g. LFO, sequencer, etc. can be varied in the usual way the sound varied.
"LOL is a performative 3 channel passive mute module with latching push buttons, LED indication, and normalization between inputs. It is intended to be a small and low-cost mute, but it can also be used as a switched multiple.
LOL has 3 channels: O, M and G. Each channel consists of an INPUT, a MUTE BUTTON with an LED, and an OUTPUT."
Features
3 channel passive mute
latching buttons
LED indication
normalization of inputs
"Illuminati is a 2-channel USB lamp driver that takes either audio, CV or MIDI and converts it to light intensity. Mini-jack inputs serve both for CV and audio. Adjusting gain, decay and inversion achieves the desired response to the signal. With a mini switch on the back, you can set whether the inputs also respond to negative voltages. Various MIDI information can be visualised as well (note, CC, aftertouch, velocity).
Features
2x 5V USB outputs
power draw limited to 0,5 A
2x CV input
CVs are either 0 to 5V or -5 to +5V, set by a switch on the back
MIDI input
2x button for settings
5V micro USB input (power only)
enclosure with expanded base for better stability and mounting
firmware updates via MIDI
"This release is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Original EMS VCS3 Hardware.
Two new banks are available: 'JEC EMS-50 Bank' (free) and 'JEC 2019 Synths and Explorations' by James Edward Cosby, both banks come with new Envelope Files and are available directly from the 'Presets & Mod. Shop'"
"The latest brainchild of synth pioneer Dave Rossum, TRIDENT is a 100% analog, triple oscillator module that opens up a universe of dynamic timbral textures.
At its most basic level, TRIDENT is three precision audio VCOs, each sporting a unique variety of control voltage inputs.
The main or “Carrier” oscillator provides its three waveforms simultaneously. The two Modulation Oscillators each have a single output and a waveform selector. The Modulation Oscillators also have a voltage controlled Symmetry parameter which varies the duty cycle of the triangle wave output from sawtooth to triangle back to time reversed sawtooth, and also varies the sawtooth output to have an upward or downward kink in the middle, as well as controlling pulse width when the pulse waveform is selected.
And while each oscillator can be used independently if desired, it’s when they’re combined into a synchronous ensemble that the real sonic magic happens.
That magic is what we call Zing Modulation. Each of the Modulation Oscillators can modulate each of the Carrier outputs in an amount controlled by the Zing parameter. Zing Modulation is mathematically akin to ring modulation, but due to the synchronization of the oscillators (when an oscillator’s Sync button is on), the aharmonic sum and difference sidetones of ring modulation transform into complex but purely harmonic overtone spectra, which vary dynamically and dramatically with the frequency and waveshape modulations of the modulation oscillators. Each change in the Modulation Oscillator parameters – Frequency, Symmetry, Waveshape, Zing, and (in the case of Modulation Oscillator 2) Phase – will have a different effect on the timbre of each of the three Carrier waveshape outputs.
When the modulation oscillators are set to track the carrier oscillator, the waveshape will remain constant as the carrier frequency changes. In this case the overtone structure is determined by the settings and CV modulations of the modulation oscillators. If instead the modulation oscillators do not track the carrier, some of the overtone structure will vary relative to the carrier frequency.
What all this means is that whether you take advantage of Trident’s unique synchronous modulation capabilities (which you, of course, should), or just treat it as three superb, wide-range analog oscillators, TRIDENT offers a vast variety of dramatic sonic textures."
