"We are pleased to announce
that we are working on the making of a stop motion short film
for the presentation of our new module.
Our passion for this wonderful cinematographic technique led us experience a new way of sponsoring our eurorack modules.
The scenography and the characters are handmade
with recycled materials and only opensouce softwares were used for digital processing.
Music and effects were made with Arcaico modules.
Those who already know this technique know how much work does it take to produce even just a sequence of a few seconds.
We are doing our best to launch as soon as possible the first video that will present the new module.
In this short teaser trailer you can see part of the setting and the scenography.
We hope you enjoy it!"

Arcaico Kairos VCA-DELAY #modularsynthesizer #eurorack #arcaico #delay

Arcaico Instruments

"Kairos is analogue hybrid that reproduces the classic vintage BBD/Echo tape delay with VCA integrated, delay tone control and a dedicated wet out. The delay time range goes from 0.05ms to 1.1sec.

Technical specifications:

VCA (with attenuator)
CV time control (with attenuator)
TONE control delay
WET dedicated out
LOOP function
FEEDBACK control

10 HP
50mm deep"

"Reverb in eurorack format inspired by the infamous Reverberation Machine, built in THT technology with passive welded 'point-to-point' components, characterized by a VCA input and a post reverb distortion.

The input section is controlled by an integrated VCA. The TONE switch darkens or lightens the signal. The Decay, controlled in CV, through LDR resistor allows to create a large reverb: increasing the Decay to maximum level the feedback extends to infinity. The GAIN control allows to saturate the post-reverb signal. The RAVE button short-circuits the IN and OUT of the module, so as to obtain an infinite and self-regenerative feedback, creating auto-oscillation of the effect."

ARCAICO DOMINUS Demo BY @andreadigiorgio #modularsynth #eurorack #synthesizer

"Dominus is a dual complex vco Saw Core with integrated wavefolder. Each VCO is independent and has 4 waveforms and all the classic basic VCO controls, with a very stable 1v/oct control up to 10 octaves. The wavefolder section is independent and inside is connected to the vco, through the switches you can select one of the 3 waveforms, you can mix the two vcos or use only one. By modifying the sound in a non-linear way the wavefolder will create wonderful sounds. The Radius potentiometer adjusts the range over a certain frequency band. In the CV control you can use envelopes, lfos, and sequencers to create very complex soundscapes.The SHAPE knob adjusts, modifies and distorts the final result. The VCO1 and VCO2 potentiometers adjust the level of each VCO, various level settings will create very different sounds."

Arcaico Murena Stereo filter, vca mixer #synthesizer #eurorack #modularsynth

video upload by Arcaico Instruments

"Arcaico Murena is a feature-rich analog module designed to deliver a distinctive, unpredictable, and versatile sound. With a width of 26 HP and a depth of 38 mm, the Murena is a concentration of functionality in a compact space.

A 6-channel mixer, each equipped with a distortion VCA, attenuverter and switches to select the internal routing destination. The channels are divided into two groups of 3, allowing flexible stereo management. Each VCA can be controlled either manually via the panel or via bipolarized CVs, offering extensive modulation possibilities.
Each group of 3 channels terminates in a multi-mode filter , capable of generating extremely aggressive sounds. After the filter, the signal can be routed to a distortion or directly to the mix. This configuration allows the two groups to be treated as a stereo pair or to use A-B crossfade modulation for dynamic transitions.
Every parameter of the Murena is manageable either from the panel or via CV, offering complete and creative control. The ability to patch the module to itself allows endless sonic combinations to be explored, making each use unique and unpredictable.

6-channel MIXER/VCA with CV attenuverter, cv and switch for routing (3-channel stereo mixer or 6-channel mono mixer or a combination of both)

Independent mono output of all 6 channels (clean)

2 multi-mode VCFs (LP/BP/HP) at 12db/oct with CV attenuverter, independent clean outputs, indepentent distorted outputs, fade output and 1V/Oct control (tuned up to 5 octaves)

OVEDRIVE with cv control on each filter

Stereo/mono/dual mono output and mono A+B output controllable via cv

Left and right OUTPUTS controllable via cv"

Arcaico Murena Stereo VCF/VCA mixer #modularsynthesizer #electronicmusic #eurorack

video upload by Arcaico Instruments

"The new Arcaico module made in collaboration with Andrea Di Giorgio: MURENA!

Murena was born from the need of a creature that would put together our sonic search for the typical Archaic sound, a touch of unpredictability and the possibility of turning the module inside out in a thousand ways by patching it even on itself. All while managing to meet an extremely low and affordable price so that it is affordable for everyone.

In 26hp we have a 6-channel mixer, each with distorting vca, divided into two groups of 3. Each group ends, as desired, in a self-oscillating violent filter, then in a violent distortion or directly to the mix where the two groups can be used as a stereo pair or modulated in A-B crossfade. Every parameter is fully manageable either from the panel or with bipolar cvs for maximum musician creativity.

Get ready to destroy your sounds under the bite of the MURENA (moray eel)."

Arcaico Warhorse modular vcf delay distortion

video by Arcaico Instruments

"WARHORSE is the analogue multi-effect made in collaboration with the Italian underground techno label SCUDERIA.

Available in limited edition eurorack module or in pedal format.

Assembled in THT technology with passive welded “point-to-point” components, composed of VCA, VCF, distortion and delay all connected internally.

The input section features an integrated VCA with the addition of a distortion circuit.

The VCF section is inspired by Wasp multi-mode filter (LP-BP-HP-Notch): the two inputs allow to control the frequency with positive and negative voltages.

The DELAY section is a digital/analogue hybrid that reproduces the classic vintage BBD/Echo tape delay.
The delay time range goes from 0.05ms to 1.1sec.

The CV control of the delay time gives the possibility to create unpredictable repetitions, while the loop on/off button loops the last repetition. The feedback is characterized by a control knob that gives the possibility to darken or lighten the repetitions.

The WARHORSE pedal version is self powered and includes an extra bypass button plus additional in/out jack connections to interface it with external instruments or integrate it in your pedal setup."

Arcaico DOGON drum synth x3 #eurorack #modularsynth

video upload by Arcaico Instruments

"Dogon is a 3-voice percussive module and because of the modulation inputs it gives the possibility to create many sounds.
In this video you can listen to 3 units of Dogon for a total of 9 voices (not all of them were used all the time) some voices were modulated and others only triggered.

Arturia beatstep pro was used for the percussive patterns, and some external modules to modulate some of the voices. With 3 units we have unmeasured firepower.

A bundle at a special price will soon be available on our website."

"Dogon is a module for creating a multitude of percussive sounds.

With Dogon you can create from the classic and iconic kick, tom, snare drum and hi-hat sounds of the most famous and historic drum machines or you can unleash your creativity with the available modulation inputs that allow you the creation of a multitude of sounds.

Dogon is divided into three different voices/sections and each voice has a Mix control for the master level out plus each voice has a separate dedicated output (these outputs have no distortion).

A distortion on the master level enriches the final sound and thanks to a potentiometer for handling Dry/Wet (also controlled by voltage) you can decide how much distortion or dry sound to have.

In this module we have tried to offer as many modulations as possible precisely to give the user the opportunity to experiment and create the sound he or she prefers.

Dogon is compact but very powerful and the user can create both powerful and destructive percussive sounds for Techno and classic electronic percussion"
