2 x System X Oscillator System X Lowpass Filter System X Dual VCA System X Dual ADSR
...which together forms our classic MU Massive Modular Bundle!
Well, I was going to program a sequence into the fabulous Arturia Keystep https://www.arturia.com/keystep/overview (accept no imitation), but soon realised that I was having far too much fun just wiggling and jamming out, so I hit record - the rest is history.
The patch is quite interesting, as there are two VCAs available, I've patched sawtooths via VCF and VCA, and pulses directly to the second VCA. There's a negative ADSR output patched to the second VCA, so the PWM'ed sound fades in as the VCF and VCA sound fades out.
As you will already know, these lovely VCOs feature onboard LFOs which I'm making full use of for a bit of vibrato, PWM sweeps, as well as that huge oscillator sync modulation.
Processing is via MU Stasis Leak (off camera) for some huge delay action.
If you have read this far please comment 'Huge Monster!'"
(MU) Frequency Central feat. Little Melody, Raging Bull, System X Oscillator, Stasis Leak and more!
"Finally got around to producing a MU modular video. This one feature the following Frequency Central MU modules:
Wave Runner Little Melody System X Envelope System X Oscillator Raging Bull Stasis leak
I'm using the Boss Dr-55 (bottom left) as a master clock only. The clock is patched to Little Melody, System X Envelope, Wave Runner and also Stasis Leak (via a clock divider).
I've set up a little riff on Little Melody which is being played by the System X Oscillator/Raging Bull/System X Envelope synth voice. I'm occasionally toggling between two modes for some variation.
System X Oscillator's sawtooth and pulse waveforms are patched into the audio inputs of Raging Bull. I'm doing some manual tweaking of it's octave rotary switch. There's also a bit of fat creamy PWM going on
To modulate Raging Bull's cutoff, I'm using Wave Runner in it's sample and hold mode to modulate, System X Envelope, the triangle output of System X Oscillator, as well as some manual tweaks and twists.
System X Envelope is patched to Raging Bull's 3rd CV input, thus controlling both VCF cutoff and VCA openess(?!)/closedness(!?).
Stasis Leak is set to long delays, and is synced to the rhythm via a clock divider (off camera).
If you've read this far, please comment 'Fat and creamy'."

"Trans Europa is a CV processor/generator module powered by Electric Druid code exclusive to Frequency Central, with a number of unique features:
• Octave switching over 9 octaves
• Voltage controlled octave switching, CV input is bipolar +/-5V
• Semitone transposition over 1 octave
• Voltage controlled semitone transposition, CV input is bipolar +/-5V
• 8 Modes (see below)
• Glide feature, which can be applied either manually or by external gate.
• CV thru, you can patch a 1V/oct voltage source in Trans Europa’s Input, it will be replicated at the Output, with the benefit that all Trans Europa’s features can be applied."
"Wave Runner is a multi-waveform sync-able LFO based on the Electric Druid TAPLFO2D family of code, but with some significant additions and improvements. The WAVERUNNER 1 PIC and code is exclusive to Frequency Central and was developed specifically for the Wave Runner, and is not compatible with similar modules.
8 waveforms:
sawtooth
ramp
pulse
triangle
sine
noise
sample and hold
stepped triangle/sawtooth/ramp
All waveforms can be skewed using the Distort knob, as well as control over pulse width of square, and distortion of the cyclic waveforms, this get you control over Noise freq as well as bitcrushing, bitcrush of S/H down to 1 bit for random triggers.
Tap sync input, for syncing to whatever. Wave Runner measures the last two incoming pulses and syncs itself to these. Multiply knob allows for Wave Runner to run at x0.5, x1, x1.5, x2, x3 and x4 of the incoming sync pulse. Freq is from stupid slow (0.025Hz) into low audio range (50Hz).
The module also features Level CV input to control the absolute output level of the LFO.
"Here’s a quick demo showcasing a few uses for Asteroids.
The Asteroids on the left is allowing audio from Radio Music to pass when button #1 is pressed. Button #2 changes the station of Radio music when pressed.
The Asteroids on the right button #1 is being used to trigger Cosmic Background which is producing electronic percussion sounds. Button #2 is being used to extend Cosmic Background’s release time by applying 5V to it’s release CV input.
The audio in Radio Music is actually snippets from previously uploaded Frequency Central YouTube videos – can you spot which ones? State 700 is just being used as a mixer.
The Gnatophilidae Oxfordii is just there to intrigue. If you’ve read this far please comment 'When will that whacky Gnat module be available please please please?'"
"Experimenting with my latest Frequency Central & Steffensen modules.
Hard at work are: Frequency Central's Loop/Env Generator, Trans Europa and S/H Noise modules irritating The Maths as it tries to be cool. FC's Continuum Phase Shifter is getting rattled by the other bits in it's range. The Frequency Central SystemX Oscillator provides arpeggiated bass duties going through the FC Raging Bull, not forgetting the FC range of mental LFOs Waverunner and Ultrawave also confusing matters, and really pissing off the Doepfer Xtreme filter.
It's also worth mentioning the main VCOs at the heart of this mayhem are a pair of Steffensen Oscillarps, having their FMs and PWMs insulted by FC, along with it's ADSR companion The Envelarp. They are all being pumped through the new god of all VCAs, the mighty Arplifier. A new module based on the ARP2600 VCA.
Somewhere in there a Synthrotek EKO is trying hard to justify being in such good company, and the Doepfer A-147 LFO is making something move a bit.
Coming soon: Doepfer Wave Multiplier and Spring Reverb!
This is self indulgent shite. Only I will enjoy watching this. :) xx"

"This bike was built for Science Gallery Dublin, where you can actually ride it right now till september!
Its primary goal was to be useable by anyone. The last synth bike was very cryptic, it had more functions but was hard to understand! This is a synth bike for everyone.
Its an analog synth, and a drum machine all built into a groove box on handlebars. It consists of 12 arduinos! The synth is An oscillator going into a frequency central VCF VCA, and also being quantized and octaved by a Frequency central TRANS EUROPA. there is a wav trigger holding all of the drums! and the power supplies are FREQUENCY CENTRAL also. its a proper spaghetti junction!
"After seeing the modular documentary I Dream Of Wires, I decided back in September of 2013 I wanted to get one.
After months of obsessing and invaluable help from a few friends and people in the modular underworld, my first case is just about complete.
Even building my own now!
Rick Holt of Frequency Central & Rickard Steffensen from Sweden have been incredibly patient and supportive and I will forever be grateful.
Made a couple really good friends.
Visit frequencycentral.co.uk and look up Steffensen on Muffwiggler.com.
Small manufacturers who's modules are better than most of the well known makes out there.
In the case:
Frequency Central: System X VCO, Waverider DVCO, Electro Cardiogram Filter, Vogue Filter, Multipoles, Waverunner LFO, Continuum Phase Shifter, Trans Europa, Raging Bull* & System X S&H/Noise* (* DIY build soon).
Steffensen: Oscillarp (X2) and Envelarp ADSR (based on ARP2600).
Oakley Classic VCA, Tiptop Z3000, Make Noise Maths, Pittsburg MIDI2 and a few more bits to build including 4 ARP Odyssey VCOs and an ARP2600 12db LPF.
I've DIY'd all of the Frequency Central and Steffensen modules in the case. About two rows worth.
Didn't know how to solder seven months ago, let alone understand a schematic or what a resistor was. :)
"The case is 36hp. It has all the basic modules required for a fully functioning mono Synth with 6 available VCO waveforms, 1 ADSR envelope generator, 2 VCAs, 1 basic LFO with triangle and square wave outputs and 1 clockable LFO with 6 waveforms and control over time division plus 1 Low Pass Filter and a cascading mixer. The power is supplied by a Frequency Central Power supply with a Feedback Modules fixed distribution board giving a total of 9 power headers. The case has Doepfer style rails with sliding nuts - you can easily swap out modules as this is fully modular.
The included modules are available individually:
GMSN VCA - £35 - will come with black Davies Knobs.
GMSN LFO - £30 - will come with black Davies Knobs.
Frequency Central ADSR - £70 - will come with black Davies knobs.
Frequency Central Waverunner LFO - £80 - will come with black Davies knobs.
Fonitronik Cascading mixer - £50 - will come with black Davies knobs.
Intellijel Dixie VCO - £140 - will come with the standard Intellijel knobs.
TipTop Z2040 filter - £120 - will come with standard TipTop knobs."
"Full patch notes below so you can see how everything was done. Another fairly simple "oh that's pretty cool I'll film it" jam video. Wish I had more time to get into bigger more playable and varied patches but I don't at the minute. So these jams stay as fairly quick little snippets of patches I tend to make when I unwind with the modular after work. Full patch notes below.
Kick
Happy Nerding HM VCO's sine wave output with the WMD Multimode Envelope going into the FM input to trigger a sharp rise and fast exponential decay to create the kick sound.
Snare Noise
This is the white noise output of the Frequency Central System X SH module going through the Frequency Central Meth Amp for tone/feedback shaping. A gate opens up the volume (VCA) on the Meth Amp to create the note length.
Main Percussion
The ALM Busy Circuits Dinky's Taiko module provides percussion and through the video the oscillators releases and on board envelope speed is manually adjusted.
Laser Hi Hats
This is the SARA filter from Din Sync self oscillating with the cut off modulated by the Frequency Central UltraWave LFO with a distorted falling saw wave shape to create the laser resonance style sound. Cut off is adjusting manually through the video.
Drum Mixing & Processing
All four drum parts go into Mutable Instruments Frames working as a basic four channel mixer. The sound then goes into a Synthrotek DLY which has it's mix and feedback amount manually adjusted through the video. This then goes into the main mixer for the patch which is Shades from Mutable Instruments.
Bass
The bass sound is Mutable Instruments Braids in Fold mode. The fold amount is modulated by Mutable Instruments Peaks in LFO mode with smooth/curved sample and hold as the output. Braids then goes into Mutable Instruments Clouds for some granular processing with feedback and reverb. The blend - dry/wet mix of Cloud sis modulated with hand gestures on a HackMe Vectr. This goes into Shades as the master mixer.
Melody
Mutable Instruments Elements provides the melody sound for the main sequence in the patch. It's Blow Timbre is modulated with the System X SH module, the Dampening modulated by one row of a Make Noise Pressure Points sequence, the brightness modulated by another Pressure Points sequence and the resonantor position modulated by a triangle LFO from Peaks.
Sequencing / Clocks
ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's Workout provides all the clocks/triggers in the Euclidean Toy Firmware mode. This triggers the Kick and Laster Hi Hat sound as well as the Dinky's Taiko percussion line. It also sending a clock to the Make Noise Brains module controlling a pair of linked Pressure Points modules. Step 5's gate output on the linked Pressure Points opens up the VCA in the Meth Amp to let the noise through create the snare/noise hit in the drum section. The 3 rows of the pressure points are taken out into an Erica Synths Sequential Switch with the Pressure Points' first step gate output triggering the sequential sequencing. The output of the switch then goes into an RYO Airtenuator for simple attenuation of the voltages before going into an ADDAC 207 Quantizer to send pitch to Elements for the main sequence."
"Had some fun creating some 3 voice chords with the Intellijel Dixie oscillators and their master controller. Also used the RYO sequencer modules to then create some drums and here we go ... Jam #16. Full patch details below. Hit subscribe and like for more videos coming ever week.
PATCH NOTES -
Clap
The clap is the noise output from the Erica Synths Polivoks Modulator passing through a Mutable Instruments Branches then going into an RYO Optodist. The triggers come from one of the RYO Voltage Controlled Sequencers in standard clock mode with the Trig Xpander providing clock outs for steps 3 and 7. Both these triggers are mixed into a passive multiple as the outputs on the Trigger Xpander as reverse signal protected (check out the RYO VC Sequencer and Trig Xpander video on my channel :). The triggers are hitting a Doepfer Quad ADSR with a short envelope going into the Optodist gain CV. As the Optodist is vactrol based distortion we can get a great vactrol ring. The Branches modules is a Bernoulli gate which acts like a virtual coin toss so as the voltage fluctuate in the noise source the modules moved between outputting the noise on output A or B (see more of this in my Branches overview video). These creates digital clocked noise and down sampling/bit crushing style effects with broken crackly noise as opposed to standard white noise. The Branches probability (affecting which output is used) is modulated by the Polivoks modulator's LFO output making use of the inverted output (for it's gain control) in triangle mode. Finally the output of the Optodist goes into a Doepfer A-199 spring reverb module before going into channel 2 on the RYO Ampmix used as a final output mixer in this patch. Manual wiggling on the clap was of the Polivoks modulator LFO rate, Branches probability and the Doepfer Spring Reverb mix amount.
Kick
The kick sound source is the Neutron Sound Orgone Accumulator. The trigger sequence comes from the same RYO VC Sequencer as the claps using the Trigger Xpander on steps 1, 2, and 5. The Trig Xpander sends triggers to the Doepfer Quad ADSR and the same envelope is then used to move the wavetable crossfading, VCO1&2 sync mix and pitch (attenuated through one channel on a Bubblesound VCA4p). The Orgone Accumulator's main output then goes into another VCA4p channel and using the same envelope the VCA is opened and closed on each beat.
Dub Style Chords
This is how the patch actually started. Using 3 Intellijel Dixie oscillators tuned to the same note I set a sequence on the XAOC Moskwa which was then sent to the ADDAC 207 Quantizer. Each or the 3 Dixie's uses a separate quantizer channel with intervals set on each channel to create the chords. A sine wave from each oscillator is then mixed into an STG .mix before going into a Malekko Borg 2 in low pass gate mode. The Borg 2 passes the signal up to Make Noise Echophon, clocked to the same clock sources as the sequence using feedback loop 1 with no pitch shift simple clocked delays. Modulation on the Dixie oscillators came from a sine wave on a Livewire AFG taking the same 1v/oct sequence as the lowest Dixie voice, tuned much higher and going into the Dixie Controller's exponential FM input with attenuation. The AFG sine wave first passes through a Malekko VCA with modulation of the level from a Bubblesound uLFO shaped sine, which is modulated at the FM input by a Frequency Central System X Sample & Hold with a lot of on board lag to smooth the output. This FM modulation changes throughout with the VCA/uLFO modulation and provides the slightly bell like overtones in the FM that creep in and out into the delay trails. There is also the triangle output from the uLFO going straight into the linear FM on the Dixie Controller with lots of attenuation just to provide some pitch warble to create some detune and pitch drift throughout.
Clocks & Sequences
The main clock source is the Frequency Central Ultra Wave used as a tempo source for the 4ms Shuffling Clock Multiplier. The SCM sends the x2 clock to the Moskwa to move the pitch sequence which also goes the to the Echophon (where it's multiplied on board). The x8 output goes to the RYO VC Seq providing the beats through the Trig Xpander and the x8 output which is affected by the 4ms SCM Breakout providing beat skipping. The original x1 clock from the Frequency Central Ultra Wave is also multed to a Make Noise Brains and dual Pressure Points which moves through a one row sequence sent to the SCM breakout's beat skipping input. This then sequences the rhythm and beat skipping changes. These go to trigger a WMD MME which is trigger the Borg 2 low pass gate with the chord tone mixed in."
"Mods include an LFO with pulse and continuously variable saw up/triangle/saw down outputs, with a LFO range switch that takes its speed well into audio frequencies.
On each of 4 channels theres a percussion decay long/short/constant tone switch, VCO frequency modulation source switch (audio or LFO), LFO waveform switch (pulse or saw/tri), VCO FM amount knob, and a VCO pitch range hi/low switch.
The VCO frequency of each channel can be modulated either using the LFO or the output of the overall audio source selection switch. This rotary switch chooses between sourcing the audio modulation signal from the output of any of the six channels, including the channel being modulated for FM feedback loops, or an external audio input."
"On this demo the four modded channels are all set to produce a constant tone, and are then their VCO frequencies are modulated with each other and the LFO"
Update: some details on the mods via Circuitbenders where you'll find more pics & info.
"The new version of these mods is based on the previous version, but expands on version one to give more in depth control and a lot more possibilities for modulated analogue percussion weirdness.
The LFO retains the same basic design, but also provides a new range switch that selects between the normal speed settings provided by the previous mods, and a super fast speed range that takes the LFO rate well into audio frequencies for all kind of insane 1950's sci-fi frequency modulation effects. The LFO still outputs pulse and saw/triangle waveforms, but on the new mods you get a separate LFO waveform selection switch on each modded channel, instead of a single overall waveform switch that is applied to all channels simultaneously.
Each modified channel now includes:
Decay range switch: As before, this sets the range of the decay knob, but it now has three positions instead of two. With the switch set upwards the decay knob range of the percussion tones is set to normal. With it switched downwards the range of the knob is extended to take over where the normal range left off at its lowest setting, and give a lot longer decay times at maximum. With the switch in its central position the channel will output a constant VCO tone with the pitch set by the channels tune knob. Any channel with its decay switch set to the tone position can either be kicked into life with a trigger input, or if its left to its own devices the tone volume will eventually rise on its own.
LFO Shape switch: As explained above, this switch selects the VCO LFO waveform independently for each channel. The choices are pulse or saw / triangle
VCO FM Source switch: The VCO frequency of each channel can be modulated either using the LFO, or with an audio source provided by the audio source rotary switch (see below). This switch selects between the two options.
Moded Tama Techstar TS305
VCF FM Amount: This is a new knob on each channel that independently sets the amount of frequency modulation that is applied to that channels VCO. Anything from subtle vibrato or warbling Theremin like tones, to extreme cross modulation effects that wouldn't be out of place on the Forbidden Planet sound track, can be achieved using the VCO FM mod.
Tune Range switch: As before, this sets the range of the VCO tuning knob, but with some minor adjustments to give a better range and response curve than before.
modified Tama Techstar v2
The new audio source rotary switch determines where the input for the audio setting of the channel VCO FM switches is sourced from. The audio modulation signal can be sourced from the output of any channel, or an external audio input. The output of a channel can be used to modulate its own VCO frequency for some bizarre frequency modulation feedback sounds.
The audio output of each channel is sourced before the channels output volume knob, so its entirely possible to do things like setting up one channel to output a constant VCO tone, then turn down the volume on that channel, but still use the that tone to modulate the VCO frequency of other channels. Alternatively you could produce an audible percussion sound on one channel and then use a muted sound on another channel to mutate the first channels sound on accented beats, kind of like you might use a side chain input on a compressor. Use the LFO to slightly modulate the muted sound and you've got an infinite variety of evolving hits and accents."
"Theseus is a platform for designing modular electronics instruments for musical and visual composition. Building on the Eurorack analog synthesizer standard, the platform uses ⅛” patch cables to interconnect modules. However, unlike the Eurorack standard, Theseus is entirely digital and produces MIDI/OSC control messages rather than audio signals. This simplification in fidelity greatly reduces the cost of materials and complexity of electronic circuits, making patch cable compositional systems more accessible to artists and musicians. A collection of 14 modules was designed to demonstrate the potential of such a platform. These modules highlight what designs become possible when material expenses drop and prototyping time is shortened."
Playlist:
1. Maht Dvdr - Unlike the other modules that produce simple sequences or steady patterns, Maht Dvdr possesses the ability to create elaborate and evolving compositions through an automated routing system.
The module is driven by a master clock. With each trigger signal it receives an onboard software counter increases by one. At the same time sixteen frequencies, each a division of the current counter value, run in the background. These channels are accessed and routed to each output using three inputs. The first input receives a voltage that determines which of the ten output positions to select. The second input determines what divided frequency to assign to that output. Lastly, a latch input locks the selected divided frequency to the selected output channel.
2. Mandalatron - The Mandalatron is a four channel ten step sequencer. Each channel possesses the same values set by the ten central rotary controllers, but with isolated clocks and sequence lengths. When the clock input of a channel is triggered, the sequence will advance by one step and reset to the first step at the point designated by the sequence length controller. This arrangement and iteration of channels allows for complex rhythms to be created easily. It was designed with pitch output in mind, but these voltages can be used to modulate other variables such as note length and velocity to great effect.
Graphic design was roughly inspired by mandala patterns to highlight the overlapping and symmetrical effects of the module’s functionality.
