A 1U Delay with character - Crypta by Ritual Electronics

video upload by Stazma

"Today we are checking out the new 1U delay from Ritual Electronics: Crypta.
It's a PT2933 delay, meaning it has that crunchy and lo-fi character you are to expect from this chip, but this one is taking that crunchyness VERY far, with it's 'poubelle' switch ('poubelle' is French for 'trash can'). All the way from classic delay & chorus to fuzz like PWM sounds, there's quite a bunch of fun stuff to try with this thing.

Have fun!!!"

00:00 Intro
02:44 Module Overview
07:06 Chorus / Vibrato / Flanger
09:53 WTH is "Poubelle"???
13:09 Breakbeat Torture and feedback
19:11 End talk & Dub

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

"From short and clean delays to long and filthy echoes all the way to utter sonic destruction

It can reflect, it can smear, it can resonate, it can dub, it can noise, it can no-input. Crypta is a powerful 1U Eurorack delay module, designed to bring complex, immersive echoes to your modular setup. With intuitive controls for delay time, feedback, and mix, Crypta allows for smooth adjustments, whether you're aiming for subtle short resonator-like repeats, dramatic, cascading echoes or full on broken noises.

Designed to span from ultra-short, clean delays to long, filthy echoes, Crypta pushes the PT2399 delay to its limits. We’ve abused the modest karaoke chip to get around 4 seconds of delay—possibly the longest anyone has dared to go.

Crypta has a 'Poubelle' switch. Means 'trash can' in French. In middle position you have your regular delay. To the left and to the right you get two flavors of broken. Circuit bending by design, similar to the Color switch which makes Guillotine so great."

The Final Arpeggiator

video upload by Simon The Magpie

"1.3 is done! And we put some real focus into the arpeggiator workflow. Hope you find it inspiring! This video is an update on that and a little bit of why I have been offline. Thanks for waiting! I will show a bunch of fun stuff soon and hopefully also get back to finding time for making videos on the regular again :)"

"Monophonic synth with extensive analog control and shaping. It has two oscillators with separate outputs, two voltage-controlled resonant filters, two voltage-controlled amplifiers and three envelopes. It also features a ring modulator, external audio triggering and a simple but useful 8-step sequencer for use as a patterner or arpeggiator or whatever-you-can-make-it-do effect! 44 note keyboard!

If an excellent source of bizzare electronic sounds is what you're after then we and Wikipedia are happy to agree that '...because of its signal routing flexibility, the CS30 is... an excellent source of bizarre electronic sounds.'

Silver Bar

video upload by HakenAudio

"This video explores some of the sonic variations that can be made within this single EaganMatrix preset, 'Silver Bar.' Variations like these can be achieved by making adjustments to the Macro controls within the preset, but more significantly by employing different playing techniques and the Touch Control Area on the playing surface of the Continuum.

Silver Bar employs new firmware 10.50 features in the BiqGraph Bank of the EaganMatrix.

Edmund Eagan is the performer and the EaganMatrix preset designer for this video. More information about the Continuum Fingerboard may be found at www.HakenAudio.com"
