Circuit Abbey - Gravity Well Demo

Circuit Abbey - Gravity Well_demo 1

YouTube Uploaded by DJjondent on Apr 4, 2012

"The gravity well uses cv to shape audio.
Where a filter removes certain harmonics the Gravity Well modulates
the existing waveform to create new sounds.

I'm using a doepfer A110 VCO (sequenced with a Modcam touch sequencer)
Square & sine waves are fed into a A114 ring modulator. Its output goes into the
Gravity Well.

The Gravity Well has 4 CV inputs.
I'm feeding a sine wave LFO into the first input (called latitude)
Into the second input (called Longitude) I later (1m,55 secs) feed a random CV.
This was generated using a combination of a noise generator, a sample/hold & a comparator.
A 4MS Noise Swash, Buchla 265 (Source of uncertainity) or the MakeNoise Wogglebug
would also prob work well as random sources of control voltages.

Modules used:
Circuit Abbey Gravity Well
Doepfer A110 VCO
Doepfer A114 Ring Mod
Modcan Touch Sequencer
Doepfer A118 Noise Gen
Doepfer A148 Sample/H
Circuit Abbey TripFire (Comparator)

Many thanks to Matt from Rhythm Active for supplying the Modcan Sequencer, The Circuit Abbey Gravity Well and Tripfire

"Quick tutorial on how to install a vacuum tube on our Pure Vacuum Tube Ringmod."

via Circuit Abbey

Introducing the first fully controllable “PURE VACUUM TUBE CORE” Tube Ringmod Module.

This unique Pure Tube Core Vacuum Tube Ringmod incorporates a pair of dual diode vacuum tubes in place of the solid state diodes normally found in ringmod effect units. This gives our ringmod a tonal quality few have ever heard.

Greatly exaggerated tonal variety is made possible with complete control over:

SIGNAL input and feedback

CARRIER input and feedback

SIGNAL & CARRIER mix and WET(effect)/DRY mix.

Feedback control pots are attenuverted. Center is neutral, counter clockwise is negative, clockwise is positive.

Circuit Abbey Tripfire Drum Machine

"A quick demo of the upcoming Circuit Abbey Tripfire module being used as a drum pattern sequencer. A-147 provides master clock, Pittsburgh Timetable provides dual timing streams to the two inputs of the Comparator on the Tripfire. Piston Honda is the audio source, shaped into drum hits by a Maths and STG .VCA.

Apologies for the slight blur - I am learning to shoot vids without a dedicated cameraman. They will get better!"

New Circuit Abbey Vacvac: Vactrol based dual VCA for Eurorack

Vacvac Intro Published on Mar 30, 2015

"Introducing the Circuit Abbey Vacvac: Vactrol based dual VCA for Eurorack, in 4HP."

via Circuit Abbey where you'll find some audio demos.

"The Vacvac is a dual Vactrol based VCA for Eurorack..

The Vacvac uses 2 vactrols per channel to get 80+ dB of attenuation. The Vactrols
are trimmed to ensure channel and gain matching, so no channel to channel
variation or unit to unit differences. The CV drive circuit is jumper selectable 5 or
10 volts, and the modules unity gain at the max voltage. Also our drive is biased
so EGs that have an offset will not open the VCA when they are supposed to be
closed.

This is a very musical VCA. It sounds great, and makes really nice drum sounds.
Also its soft on/off characteristics means it make a great mute. Use it to switch
between 2 different sounds.

This 4HP module has a maximum 60mA current draw. Module depth is 49mm."

"Harmonics galore! A wave multiplying signal processing module which produces thick CV-able harmonic fields.

The Impulse Drive crossfades any two input sources and drives three comparator engines that are then cross-modulated to create unheard of sonic palettes. Crossfading, along with each of the comparator engines are under full CV control for precise timbre navigation. Feed combinations of waves, control signals, or experimental sources such as drum machines into the Impulse Drive to generate swirling streams of alien landscapes!

You can crossfade between the two signal inputs manually or with a control voltage; the result will be then processed by three comparator units called GRID, each producing a pulse wave. The Bias parameter determines the switching threshold of the comparator and it can be set manually or with a voltage. Each GRID section modulates the next one thru a digital ring modulator and adds even more harmonics. The signals can be tapped at the various outputs.

The Impulse Drive has 3 sections of harmonic generation with CV control. Each section feeds into the next using Digital Ring Mod technology and produces increasingly complex harmonic fields.

The Impulse Drive can be run at LFO rates to produce gates at the outputs - allows for generating CV-able sequences.

Conceived and refined over a decade in the Circuit Abbey lab, the Impulse Drive will provide unique flavor to any studio.

Features

2 signal inputs (Injector)
1 Injector-Select CV input
3 CV inputs for the waveshaper units (Grid 1-3)
3 Outs
3 Exhaust Port Outs
MON output
Injector Select knob
Injector Level knob
Level and Bias knobs for each 3 grids
LED Indicators for each Out"

"In this video I demonstrate how, by using a negative envelope and bending the design of the Injector Select circuit, you get a VCA out of the Circuit Abbey 'Impulse Drive.' Also - when using it as a VCA with percussive elements, you can get some really weird gates and noise bursts."

Synthrotek EKO Demo

Published on Nov 11, 2013 PatchingMonk·1 video

"Demo of the Synthrotek EKO, a CVable echo effect. Please note that this is a prototype module, and the feedback and mix knobs are backwards. They are corrected on the final release.

The basics of the patch:

Audio source is from the Livewire Electronics Audio Frequency Generator's Animated Pulses and Pulse Out sections -into- 2 inputs on Intellijel's uVCA (cv modulated by 2 Circuit Abbey ADSRjrs) -into- 2 Synthrotek EKOs (rate cv modulated by Livewire Electronics Chaos Computer) -into- 2 inputs panned Left & Right on the Circuit Abbey Unify.

You're hearing 1 EKO module in each ear, played with one note only so that you can hear the intensity of the rate cv being modulated by the Chaos Computer. From spacey echos, bell tones, to rhythmic percussive pulses, this module makes some seriously intense sounds."
