About Aphelion ( 8HP)
Aphelion packs a stereo distortion and low/high pass filter into a compact 8HP design.
It features three unique stereo distortions in parallel with a continuous crossfade between them, controlled with the character knob or a cv input.

The first circuit is an overdrive that adds a lot of warmth and fattens up the sound without becoming too harsh. The second one is a saturating wavefolder, that can add interesting extra harmonics depending on the waveform of the material. The last distortion is inspired by the classic RAT guitar pedal. It adds an aggressive feel and grit to the sound..

A mix knob lets you blend the dry input signal with the distorted signal, before it hits the filter. Setting it fully dry bypasses the distortion effect.

If you need even more dirt, there's a handy +12dB gain switch, to really overdrive the circuits. If you want to keep your low-end undistorted, you can switch on the Low-cut filter.
The non resonant stereo filter combines a low pass and high pass stage, and uses an IC based on the classic SSM2040.

This filter is also overdriven, adding some warm distortion and extra harmonics to the original signal, and limiting the output level.
The cutoff knob becomes a a low pass filter when turned counter clockwise, and a high pass filter when turned clockwise. It's possible to control the low and high pass filter cores independently as well using CV.

The filter bypass switch can be used for instant reintroduction of all frequencies into the mix upon release—a great tool for live performers. Lastly the level knob attenuates the output volume.

Power:
+12v - 90mA
-12v 80mA
MSRP 270 euro"

Making Pinged Kick Drums with Toppobrillo Multifilter 2

video upload by Travis Kennedy

"*HEADPHONES OR HIGH QUALITY SPEAKERS RECOMMENDED*

How to patch a kick drum with the Toppobrillo Multifilter 2:

1. Patch a gate or trigger to the Ping input of the filter. You can monitor any output but I use the Variable mode output.

2. Set the resonance to at least 12 o’clock but no higher than 3 o’clock. More resonance = more sustain

3. Set the frequency below 10 o’clock or to taste.

4. Patch either the low pass, band pass, or high pass outputs to the Mode CV input. Attenuvert to taste. This can add some phase modulation and increases harmonics.

5. Send a decay envelope to the FM input. Attenuate to taste.

6. Ignore the filter inputs and gain knob.

Notes:
Envelope generated from a Toppobrillo Sport Modulator 2 with a linear shape.
I prefer taking the output from the Variable output because of the additional tone shaping available, but you can use any output for this patch. It can also be fun to experiment with using multiple outputs and processing them differently."

"Ragnarök is a software instrument for Microsoft Windows (VST2/VST3/CLAP/AAX) and Apple macOS (VST2/VST3/CLAP/AU/AAX) simulating a custom-built one-of-a-kind analog synthesizer from 1980. It is written in native C++ code for high performance and low CPU consumption.

Ragnarök is the collaborative work of Hans Peter aka CrimsonWarlock aka TechnoGremlin (synth concept, GUI design, user manual, patch programming) and Björn aka Full Bucket (DSP+GUI+patch programming). Read more about the background of this project in the user manual and in the respective KVR thread!

The main features of Ragnarök are:

Up to 64 voices polyphony including portamento
Unique band-limited oscillator bank
Additional white noise generator
Multi-pole zero-delay feedback filter (6–12–18–24 dB/Oct low- or high-pass)
Two envelopes (ADSR or AD) with exponential slopes
Low frequency oscillator
Built-in and Chorus effect plus 7 band graphic equalizer
Cool repeat/pseudo arpeggiator functionality
Supports MTS-ESP by ODDSound dynamic micro-tuning
Resizable user interface (not 'N' version!)
MIDI Learn – all parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC
Plug-in supports Windows and macOS"

Moogseum Window Install Timelapse After Hurricane Helene

video upload by moogfoundation

"Seven weeks after Hurricane Helene ripped our awning frame and cloth awning off our our building, causing both to crash into our window which broke into several places, we were finally able to get the window replaced. During the interim, the Moogseum has been boarded up, and hasn't looked very inviting. We are thrilled to have made the first step to bringing the Moogseum's exterior back to its original condition, as seen in this time lapse. The awning will be replaced in the next month or two.

Please consider supporting the Moogseum as we continue to navigate the long-term effects of Helene, which have resulted in more than $35,000 in lost income to date, with more expected by the end of the year.
