Announcing PATH an analog morphing router for audio & CV by DivKid & Vostok Instruments

video upload by DivKid

"Come and meet PATH the new DivKid & Vostok Instruments analog morphing router that is OUT NOW as assembled modules and DIY kits. Path builds on the interpolating scanner technology of Trace and performs the opposite function, rather than Trace doing 4 input scanning to 1 output, Path takes 1 input and morphs it across 4 outputs. Like a quad panner, open for creative audio and CV routing."

"Path is a four-channel Interpolating Router created in collaboration between Vostok Instruments & DivKid.

Born from the roots of our previous module, Trace, Path picks its central concept and does something relatively simple yet powerful: it flips it.

The circuit routes one signal to four possible outputs, fading from one to the next following a soft slope response to ensure smooth transitions.

Path counts with Trace’s best features. It shares the same DC-coupled interpolating circuit at its heart, making it perfect for experimenting with any signal on any of its inputs.

Thanks to the fixed voltage normalled at its main input, Path is also a versatile and unique modulation source out of the box.

Its compact size and layout make Path a very performative and handy tool for adding an organic layer of movement and experimentation to every patch."

Moog Grandmother is a Drum Synth. Analog Patches Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Drum Synth is a collection of 25 patches for the semi-modular Moog Grandmother, featuring 5 Kicks, 5 Snares, 5 Cymbals, and 10 Percussion sounds.
This is my fourth soundset for Grandmother, and this time, I wanted to explore its potential for percussive timbres.

🥁 Inspired by the character and sonic qualities of analog drum machines, I set out to recreate similar tones on Grandmother. Its analog oscillators, filter, and punchy envelope provide a solid foundation for deep, warm, and saturated drum sounds, while the patching capabilities open up a broad spectrum of sonic possibilities—ranging from FM and metallic tones to wooden, modular, noisy, and experimental textures.

🎹 Try different keys and octaves—the same patch can take on entirely different roles across a 3-4 octave range. If precise pitch is required, use the FINE TUNE control on the back panel, as modulation can shift the overall tuning.

🎛 One of Grandmother’s biggest advantages for percussion is the ability to finely tweak parameters and use the ModWheel for expressive control—something not possible on traditional drum machines. With real-time modulation and parameter adjustments, a single preset can generate dozens of variations, making each performance dynamic and unique.

💾 That's exactly what I did. I recorded hundreds of one-shot samples from each patch, capturing different pitches, durations, and tonal variations.

Alongside the 25 patches, you’ll also receive 678 percussive one-shots in WAV format (44.1kHz/24-bit): 188 Kicks, 105 Snares, 112 Cymbals, 273 Percussion sounds.

📖 The soundset comes in a PDF format, with each page explaining how the patch works, which parameters to tweak, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you follow these guidelines and experiment with the suggested settings, you'll gain deeper insight into the synth and its full potential.

🗄 Each patch includes an audio example to illustrate the intended sound.
To recreate these patches, you’ll need up to 8 patch cables.
Additionally, make sure your Grandmother is updated to firmware v1.1.3 or higher to access all necessary settings.
