Ambient sounds of outer space | Neutral Labs Pip & Nijel, Blue Marvin, Deckard's Voice | (20 min)

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
I made a 20-minute soundscape video that sounds like the 70s and 80s depiction of music from outer space. Everything is coming out of the Blue Marvin's stereo output, as I don't have any VCAs. Here is the list of modules I used and how they play into the function of the piece:
- Neutral Labs Pip (Clock and CV output)
- Instruō Harmonàig (Quantizer (random melody generator in A Phrygian))
- Instruō/Divkid øchd (overall modulation to a bunch of parameters around the patch)
- Black Corporation Deckard's Voice (Main oscillator on the eurorack side)
- Serge by Random*Source Variable Q VCF (Filter to which Deckard'd Voice is connected (VC F and VC Q parameters modulated by øchd))
- Neutral Labs Nijel (Drive effect for Oscillator 3 in Blue Marvin 2600's Sine Wave, the amount is modulated by øchd's slowest LFO)
- Behringer Blue Marvin 2600 ( 1st and third oscillators, various modulations and internal spring reverb)

In Ableton, I have Valhalla Shimmer on, Other Desert Cities by Audio Damage, and some light EQ and compression.

Cš-L | Episode 01 | The Instruō Ecosystem + Crash Course

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I am not sure how many episodes this series will have, but one episode is definitely not enough. What an amazing module!

In this episode I'll go through the Cs-L in an instruo case and trying to familiarize myself with it. I know many of these modules on their own, but not as a combo and it feels like having two left hands. I simply did not feel 'qualified' to cover a complex module like the Cs-L but I learned a lot while making this video.

I am not in any way related to Instruō except for being a customer. I've been building this case since 2017 and now it's finally almost finished."

Instruō Chordal Ambient Tape Delay Patch // Instruōctional Patching

video upload by Instruō

Performance video here

"Core Techniques:
• Harmonic chord progression using Harmonàig/Saïch
• Cascaded pitch shifting delay
• Sub-harmonic waveshaping with through-zero frequency modulation
• Rhythmic textural "bird noise" by oscillator cross-modulation

This is quite a dense patch with a lot of subtle modulation and some interesting waveshaping techniques involved. Fundamentally it is a patch using 3 parallel voices as audio sources which are mixed via multiple crossfaders.

The primary voice is the harmonic aspect which utilises a Saïch controlled by a Harmonàig to define the chord progression basis of the composition.
The Harmonàig can either be controlled via CV for preprogrammed/randomly self generated progressions, or can be manually played in Performance Mode.
When a new Root note is defined, the GATE output controls the Cèis ADSR which triggers a cascade of events that influence the patch.
The Cèis envelope output (acting as an AR) sounds the chords through a VCA which routs to the Lúbadh, which is configured as a tape delay.

Various gate and trigger signals from the Cèis clock two S&H modules as well as toggling signal routing for variations in parameters such as interval offsets on the Saïch (which introduces tension tones to the chords), input mix of the Saïch voice between the Lúbadh's decks and varies the index ratio of the Cš-L's complex voice.

There is a parallel bass voice which follows the root of the Harmonàig chord progression and is triggered by the primary voice's ADSR envelope (Cèis).
The tone is produced by the trigger output striking/pinging the I-ō47 filter which is tuned to match the Root of the Harmonàig voice. The percussive tone from the Band Pass output is waveshaped via a tanh[3] channel to restrict its amplitude and add a bit of saturation to the timbre. This signal then modulates a neóni configured in TZFM configuration to act as a waveshaper over the tone.

The High Pass output is converted to an aggressive unipolar positive square wave signal via the AND gate of the eãs. This signal is used in parallel to the TZFM waveshaping to soft sync the neóni at the audio rate of the Root note frequency. This clock signal patched to the soft sync input is toggled on and off via a latching switch (tàin) controlled by the release stage gate output of the Cèis.
The result when the soft sync is engaged is a sub-harmonic introduced to the voice.
As the voice is triggered at each segment change of the ADSR this gives a longer rhymic meter that nicely matches the harmonic rhythm of the composition.

Finally, there is a generative textural voice which sits in the higher frequency bandwidth to serve as a chaotic percussive element somewhere between hi-hats and bird noises. This comes from a self modulated Cš-L. The sine wave of oscillator B is used as the sound source. The resulting tone is gated through a VCA by the OR logic result of oscillator A's PWM voice (inverted at the eãs ~ gate) and the clock pulse of the Lúbadh's left deck. The Lùbadh clock is the stable element in this gating signal as the Cš-L is fundamentally unstable due to extreme cross-modulation.

The cross-modulation is exponential on both oscillators and the wavefolder of oscillator B is used to modulate oscillator A which is in LFO range.
The wavefold depth of oscillator B is modulated in addition to the FM depth via the INDEX control.

For final seasoning, an øchd is used to add additional movement to the patch keeping things more dynamic. Vibrato is added to the Saïch voice using the first LFO from the øchd tunes to ~4-5Hz. This vibrato naturally softens the the voice as it is reverberated and echoed in the Lúbadh."

Performance // Granular [Tetra] Grid // Instruōctional Patching

video upload by Instruō

"This patch is broken down in depth in my next Instruōctional Patching video which will be live premiering on Sunday 20th February at 6PM GMT.

This is a performance recording of a patch I created while experimenting with The Tetragrid from Manifold Research Centre.
There are several patching techniques used that I have been experimenting with lately that lend themselves well to harmonic patching as well as much more experimental compositions.

Core Techniques:
• Chaotic cross modulation with magnets (Hail the donut)
• Complex circular FM tones from Cš-L
• Rhythmic gating over index ratios, wavefold depth and signal amplitudes
• Granular/reverberant spatialisation using arbhar
• TZFM as tone generator and processor simultaneously
• Harmonic chord voice using Harmonàig/Saïch

The composition is much more aggressive and textural than my usual. Too much caffeine perhaps… or not enough?
I built the patch to be very hands on and immediate for manipulating the voices. The Tetragrid allows for a wonderfully chaotic interaction between its 6 modulation sources. At times things can stabilise and produce musical ostinatos but simply touching the interface will quickly mix up the patterns.

The algorithms defining the cross modulation in both the instances of audio sources and control generators are circular in nature and with dynamic influence over their ratios. They produce very diverse ranges of complex tones and patterns that can naturally stabilise.

A full written breakdown of the patch and access to the patchnotes can be found on the Learning/Patching page on Instruō website:

Instruō - Befaco FX Boy - microPhaser cartridge | All-pass filter tutorial

video upload by Instruō

"Here's something a bit different!

Befaco (https://www.befaco.org/) have launched this very cool module which uses the "game boy" cartridge form factor as a means of hot swapping analogue and/or digital circuitry as effects processors.

I caught up with Manu and Diego at Superbooth23 and learned of this mad idea. I very quickly asked how I could get involved and contribute a cartridge design.

Time was a bit of a crunch.
I set the target of a month following return from Berlin as a timeframe for getting a cartridge production ready.
Challenge accepted!
I believe I had the first two (heavily circuit bent) prototype cartridges in the mail to Barcelona in just over a fortnight.
The last 5 minutes of this video shows a bit of this process designing the first prototypes.

The FX Boy ships with 7 carts in total designed by a wonderful range of creative developers.
I'm very excited to be part of this project.

This video goes through some of the capabilities of my microPhaser effect and ends with some behind the scenes recordings of the rapid development of the circuitry.

Cheers!

Instruō Arbhar and Säich // Granular Hulusi 葫芦丝

video upload by Dexba

"Here it is: I am coming out with my modular setup, constantly evolving, and heavily biased on the Instruo (or better: Instruō) side.
Very few modulation sources, since they're kinda hard to come by, and let's admit it: it is more fun buying stuff like Arbhar, Lubadh or even the Strymon Starlab, rather than splurging one thousand euros on some VCA. Or not?
Anyway, here I am back in the eurorack, and this time I am here to stay.
There will be a lot of educational videos too, especially focusing on the Buchla - Tip Top module series, and obviously Instruo too :)
Hope you'll enjoy, and be excited like I am!"

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Instruo - Dail Quantizer

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Jason from Instruo introduced their latest innovative product - the Dail Quantizer*. In a conversation with Sonic State, Jason explained that the *Dail Quantizer has been in the works for a while, with initial designs dating back to 2020. Due to the chip shortage, the product had to undergo a complete redesign, but the functionality has been well thought out over the years. The Dail Quantizer serves as a monophonic quantizer, precision adder, and MIDI-to-CV interface, providing a versatile solution for musicians looking to enhance their sound and performance.

The Dail Quantizer features three pages controlled by a toggle switch, allowing users to easily navigate between quantizer, precision adder, and scale programming modes. With the ability to set different scales, from major triads to pentatonic scales, users can customize their sound with ease. Additionally, the Dail Quantizer offers multi-octave spanning quantization, allowing for complex spread voice patterns and modulation of quantized signals.

Dail Quantizer Price: 289 GBP"

The Instruō dàil is a high resolution quantiser, precision adder, MIDI-to-CV interface, and USB MIDI Host with a very small form factor suitable for any system.

As a quantiser, scales can be defined locally as well as externally via MIDI. The USB Host port will accept and power class compliant devices offering convenience and immediacy to melodies and sequences.

As a precision adder, existing signals can be offset by any defined chromatic interval. Transpose anything with accuracy using the calibrated buffered throughput which runs parallel to the quantiser engine. This feature alone makes for a great companion to any sequencer or 1V/octave source within a system.

No longer is a single repeating octave of quantised notes a limitation. dàil features a fully bipolar quantiser engine through which any multi-octave spanning scale/chord/arpeggio can be engaged immediately from your MIDI keyboard. Patterns can also be programmed onboard with precision with the ability to auto fill from a wide range of major and minor starting points.

Small form factor, big feature set!

dàil will suit any scale of system adding flexibility and immediacy to your melodic needs.

Instruo Tain // dual bidirectional switch // Eurorack demo & patch tips

DivKidVideo

"Here’s the new dual bidirectional analogue switch ‘tain’ from Instruo. It works as a 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 input or output switcher. It has manual of CV/gate control with latching or momentary behaviour and a handy trick up it’s sleeve is the inbuilt reference voltage. Allowing you to use a trimmer to set a normalised voltage from -10 to +10 volts so you can switch to a voltage as a divider, or sub audio generator, switch from modulation to a static voltage, create octave jumps and more. As always I make these videos educational and packed full of synthesis tips and patch ideas so try these patches and ideas out on your system. I’d love to hear of any variations you’ve been creating with switches in the comments."

"The Instruō tàin is a two channel analogue bidirectional switch, similar to those found on classic semi-modular systems of the 1970s.

With momentary and latching functionality, external control and a manual button per channel, tàin can seamlessly switch between control voltage contours, trigger/gate patterns as well as audio signals all the way into audio rate.

tàin | verb (close) to block up, to move so as to cover an opening, bring two parts together, to make continuous as in a circuit."

Chainsaw Symphony - Acid Rain Chainsaw meets Instruō Harmonaig

Published on Dec 12, 2019 Precarious333 Music

"Wow, a match made in heaven. Never thought I'd get such beautiful harmonies so easily on modular. Just received Acid Rain Technology Chainsaw today. This is the first patch. Chainsaw is an amazingly powerful 4hp module capable of producing 3 voices of 7 detuned waves. I'm already in love with this thing. Coupled with Harmonaig, which produces chords, and I'm in heaven.

Recorded as a stereo track into Ableton. EQ to tame the lows and a little compression.

Signal path is three pitch CVs from Harmonaig into Chainsaw. Chainsaw stereo out into two VCAs of Erogenous Tones VC8 controlled by envelopes from Erogenous Tones RADAR, stereo signal into Qu-Bit Electronix Prism (as a stereo filter with no resonance) opened by another RADAR ENV, into Endorphin.es Milky Way's creamy big reverb. Very simple patch."

Instruo - Tš-L Overview

Instruō

"The Tš-L is back in stock with a couple of extra bonus features!

The Tš-L is a fully analogue voltage controlled oscillator with a plethora of features in a very small footprint.

Its triangle core circuitry allows for extremely consistent waveforms over a wide frequency range. The triangle foundation is used to generate its sine waveform which holds consistent shape and amplitude across the Tš-L’s wide range. The outputs consist of simultaneous Square/Sub, Triangle, and Sine waveforms, with additional voltage controllable wavefolder and complex PWM waveshaper.

Tš-L includes every feature needed to powerfully perform as a rich, ultra compact audio source, as well as functioning equally as a versatile modulation source."

Instruō Lúbadh & Cš-L // Tape Looper as a Glitch Ambient Machine

video upload by Dexba

"This video follows the live stream from two days ago!
A single voice from the Instruo Cs-L is being fed four different sequences coming from the TipTop Buchla 245t, passing through the two mixers of the 257t, being once again mixed into the Instruo [1]f before entering the Instruo Harmonàig. A touch of reverb coming from the Strymon Starlab, and the recording stereo into the Lubadh, using both the decks.
Tape emulation is cranked up, as the input volume, to get all the tape flavour even while passing through, and after a good amount of recording, you will hear the modulations ready to mangle the tape, overlaying some glitchy madness to the otherwise relatively calm background.
I hope you'll enjoy it! 🧡"

Insane Probability Sequencing with the Malekko Varigate 8+

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"For this project, I opted to make more of a drum-based piece. I wanted to specifically use the powers of one of the most powerful modules in my system, which is located in the bottom right corner. It's known as the Malekko Varigate 8+. It is an extremely complicated gate and CV sequencer with 8 gate channels and 2 CV channels for pitch sequencing, as well as additional secret digital menu settings like probability, which is an important aspect of my patch. I set my master clock to provide a consistent beat to Varigate 8+. Then I trigger all of the different drum parts from the sampler with the Malekko's randomly produced patterns, so the patterns should not repeat very often, if at all. The fun began when I chose to use this sequencer for all of the components of the composition, allowing me to separate a signal from numerous gate outputs and CV outputs and transmit it to offer pitch and melody to the various oscillators that I used for this.
Mutable Instruments Plaits was the only one that wasn't getting pitch, as it was receiving various modulations that would make it relatively meaningless to input pitch into because the changes created by it wouldn't be as obvious and needed at the moment. Instruō Cruïnn was the single oscillator into which I fed the CV output from Malekko. It is a phase-modulated, stereo oscillator having through-zero outputs that can be stereo, summed, or separate sawtooth outputs per voice. As you change the dispersion of the voices in the module, you get that pitch diffusion effect that becomes more pronounced near the finish of the composition.
During the performance, I am continually altering the number of high frequencies fed into the VCA and pre-effects to keep the stereo feel beautiful and dynamic. Such tasks are generally carried out using my left hand. My right hand is activating all of the different parts of the piece, which aren't necessarily pre-defined because this is an improvised composition, but I have some notion of what I'm going to do before I do it. Only when I need to modify the volume of the stereo oscillator inside the VCA before the 'drop' part of the time stop and then that riser and time start sequence do I use both hands in one activity? Everything comes to a halt when I hit that yellow button because everything in this patch is clocked to a master clock, so if I make it stop, everything stops. I'm also patching something more than a minute in, and it was basically just the output of a slow LFO, which would modulate the knob that modulates the parameters together inside of the Qu-Bit Chance module, which is what I'm using to control the majority of the modulation in this patch, which is changing the fm and cv inputs on two of my oscillators. By randomizing that value, detecting rhythm fluctuations throughout the song becomes even more difficult.

Cèismōgraphy | Using Cèis as a wonky drum machine

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The Instruō cèis is an analog CV controlled ADSR envelope generator. It's designed with east-coast synthesis in mind, where you press a key on the keyboard, hear the sound rising to its decay stage, drops to - and holds the sustain stage as long as you press the key - and the release stage starts when you let go of the key. This only works when you send in a gate. If you'd send in a trigger, there can't be any sustain. Now the cèis has a gate CV output for every stage. The gate is high as long as a stage is active. It also fires a trigger at the beginning of the stage, giving you NINE cv patchpoints to play with. But I am not an east-coast fan, I go west. So today I wanted to see how far I'd get if I treated it as a four stage function generator, and added a second one for fun (actually a typical east-coast design has an ADSR for the VCA and one for a filter so there's a good reason to have two)."
