'A legendary analog filter design available at last in your modular system,the original circuit from a classic Russian analog synthesizer designed in cooperation with its inventor Vladimir Kuzmin.Tthe 2-pole filter circuit now has simultaneously available low- and band-pass outputs. From the pleasant saturation of bass frequencies when overdriven, to the satisfyingly unstable self-oscillation, this filter design is utterly unique. A 2-input audio mixer and some modulation inputs have been included for patching convenience.'"

Synthesis Technology - E352 2 Op FM Acid Electro Jam

Published on Sep 19, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's a jam with the E352 from Synthesis Technology (or Synth Tech). By now I'm sure you know the module is awesome and if not check out the links other E352 videos below.

Here I'm using the E352 in 2 Op FM mode with the FM modulation shown on the Mordax DATA oscilloscope next to the module. I've mixed a looping envelope and faster more percussive envelope before modulating the FM index (depth of modulation). There's also an accent out of my sequencer going to FM Ratio (tuning difference) to accent certain notes with different tones of FM. There's also a a slow looping envelope into the wavetable modulation. These all come from the Qu-Bit Contour. The sequence is from the killer Stepper Acid from Transistor Sound Labs which you can see top right in the video (just). I'm playing the sequencer in terms of starting and stopping and also manually stepping through steps while stopped. The E352 goes through the ZVEX Fuzz Factory and you can see me move the dry/wet blend manually throughout (it's never that wet, just added a bit of hair and grit in places). That then goes onto the Make Noise Erbe Verb before going into the WMD Performance Mixer. The Performance Mixer has an inverted envelope (the WMD MME) going into it's level modulation to create the side-chained affect against the kick drum. The Kick is the KICK mode on Braids from Mutable Instruments, the Hi Hats are from Mutable Instruments Peaks and the clicky percussion is also from Peaks but put through the WMD Geiger Counter. The rhythms are generated from the Stepper Acid clock going into a Chaos Divider from Tsyklon Labs."

"A deeper dive exploring the wavetables of the SWN. The Mordax Data and Vectrex allow us to visualize the act of sound shaping, leading to greater creative possibilities."

Music Generated by IOLabs Flux for Sequential Prophet 10

video upload by Friendly Noise

"Flux is an incredible rhythm generating machine, but it can also make repetitive or evolving melodies. All melodies in the video are generated in real time by Flux. I used the Befaco VCMC voltage to midi converter to translate the analog triggers and voltages generated by Flux into midi messages that the Prophet 10 can understand.

On Mordax Data’s display you can follow the note triggering, with lower notes in the upper lane and progressively higher notes showing in the other three lanes.

Some delay and reverb were added in the DAW after recording."

Audulus 3.4 Update Adds Support for Multichannel Audio/CV Output

"Audulus LLC is proud to announce the release of Audulus version 3.4 - a free update for all Audulus platforms* allowing users to access up to 16 audio and control voltage (CV) inputs and outputs through two brand-new nodes called ADC (analog-to-digital converter) and DAC (digital-to-analog converter).

Previously, Audulus users were limited to two inputs and two outputs using the Mic and Speaker nodes. Now, with the ADC and DAC nodes, Audulus users can take full advantage of their DC-coupled** audio interfaces, such as the Expert Sleepers ES-8 and the Universal Audio Apollo.

This means that users can now integrate Audulus seamlessly with hardware synthesizers and analog effects pedals using their computer or iOS device.

Some examples uses include:
Sending and receiving simultaneous audio, modulation, and envelope CVs to up to 4 Eurorack filters for true analog filter polyphony
Clocking multiple Korg Volcas at different speeds or divisions of a master clock
Sequencing analog synthesizers with volt-per-octave (VPO) signals
Receiving multiple DC signals from hardware controllers like CV joysticks and ribbon controllers for ultra-high-resolution control over your digital synthesizers
Receiving, quantizing, and sending out analog VPO signals
Generating LFOs and envelopes of any imaginable shape
Using stompboxes on a send & return within your Audulus patches
Cloning, adapting, and modifying true work-alikes of digital and analog Eurorack modules
Generating quadraphonic or surround-sound-style effects for keyboards and guitar
Receiving an analog master clock and generating divisions, probability triggers, or Euclidean-style rhythm sequencing (or mix of all!)
Storing, recalling, and rapidly switching between different modular synth patch routings
Analyzing a guitar’s pitch and volume envelope within Audulus and converting them to an analog VPO and envelope signal
Using Audulus as a multi-effect rack with 4 mono inputs and outputs or 2 stereo inputs and outputs (with an Expert Sleepers ES-8)

These are just a few of the possibilities Audulus users have explored so far. To keep up with patches and modules using the new ADC and DAC nodes, sign up for the Audulus user forum and download and share your patches there - http://forum.audulus.com

An example of Audulus sequencing VPO signals and envelopes through an Expert Sleepers ES-8:



Users can also follow Audulus on Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Soundcloud, and Facebook @audulus for tutorials, video clips, and sound samples of what the ADC and DAC nodes can do.

If Audulus users have any questions about how to implement the ADC and DAC nodes, they can contact Audulus at support@audulus.com

Happy patching from all of us at Audulus!

* Audulus iOS requires the Apple Camera Connector Kit to connect to the Expert Sleepers ES-8.

**Most normal audio interfaces are AC-coupled. AC-coupling prevents a constant DC offset from damaging speakers and headphones. DC-coupled audio interfaces like the Expert Sleepers ES-8 are not required to use all 16 inputs and outputs of an audio interface or aggregate device. DC-coupled audio interfaces are required to send and receive accurate DC-offset analog signals such as gates, VPO signals, and envelopes.


Example Videos of Audulus + ES-8

This picture shows a self-oscillating filter entering Audulus through audio input 4 of the Expert Sleepers ES-8 using the ADC node, and sending two oscillators through outputs 7 and 8 of the ES-8 using the DAC node to the Mordax DATA oscilloscope in XY mode."

Improving Intonation using the AJH Synth V-Scale (Part 1: Moog Mother-32)

Published on May 22, 2017 Learning Modular

"This is the first of two videos using the Eurorack-format AJH Synth V-Scale to fine-tune the intonation of an analog module (such as the oscillator built into the semi-modular Moog Mother-32) to track pitch over a 5 octave range. The procedure outlined in this video – using a reference oscillator for comparison, as well as a dual-trace ‘scope such as the Mordax DATA to see tuning differences – can be used to tune most oscillators that allow you to adjust their tracking; the V-Scale happens to be exceptional at this as it provides front-panel access to a high-precision multi-turn trim control while also functioning as a high-quality buffered multiple.

For more information and tips on the tuning procedure, see the companion article on LearningModular.com: http://learningmodular.com/improving-..."

Doepfer A-196 Phase Locked Loop [Episode 69]

Published on Jul 7, 2018 CatSynth TV

"An explanation and demo of the often misunderstood Doepfer A-196 Phase Locked Loop (PLL) module. We give a brief definition of a PLL, and show how this maps to the different sections of the module. We then launch into a series of demos of the A-196, first with a simple square wave input, then a more complex signal from the Sputnik Dual Oscillator, and finally the Arturia MiniBrute 2 (with the Brute Factor turned up). Throughout, we explore the different phase-comparitor options on the module, including the basic XOR and more complex proprietary circuit.

Scope provided by Mordax DATA module. In all examples, the input signal is red and the A-196 PLL signal is green.

For more synthesizer demos, please subscribe to this channel and visit www.catsynth.com.

From Doepfer's website on A-196:
"this is how a pll works: the output of the internal vco (linear cv control, rectangle output) is compared with an external signal (e.g. the rectangle output of a a-110 vco) in the so-called phase comparator (pc). the output of the phase comparator is a digital signal (low/high/tristate) that indicates if the frequency resp. phase difference of the two input signals is negative, zero or positive. the output of the phase comparator is processed by a low pass filter (lpf) to generate a smooth voltage that is used to control the frequency of the internal vco. the 3 units vco, pc and lpf form a feedback loop that works like this: the control voltage (output of the lpf) increases as long as the external frequency is higher than the frequency of the internal vco und stops increasing when both frequencies become identical. the control voltage decreases as long as the external frequency is lower than the frequency of the internal vco und stops decreasing when both frequencies become identical"

Healing Solfeggio Frequencies with Mordax Data & BitBox

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Just looking at the number of plays a typical Healing Frequency video gets, I'd say they're in high demand and highly appreciated. So in this video I wanted to share some tips and tools so you can make your own scales and tunings, and maybe turn your modular into a spa/wellness center to make people feel good. And I have to admit, fooling around with these Solfeggio frequencies has been super relaxing! But I bet it's more about working with a modular system!

WORNG Electronics - LRMSMSLR (stereo mid/side wizardry - make your mono FX stereo etc)

Published on Jun 28, 2018 DivKidVideo

"TIMING INDEX BELOW - SKIP AROUND! :) GRAB HEADPHONES YOU'LL APPRECIATE WHAT THIS DOING EASIER ... pinky promise.

Here's the very excellent, very underrated, very overlooked LRMSMSLR module from WORNG Electronics ... that's wrong, spelt wrong ...

The LRMSMSLR takes a stereo input (left and right) then sums them together to create a mid input and creates a signal that's a difference of the two to create a side signal. This is a common mastering technique often doing things such as removing low end from the side stereo elements to clean up a mix. The mid signal is a single mono channel and the side input is a single mono channel, it's the way their phases are flipped and interacting when brought back together to recreate a stereo image. It's great for taking that side output and using mono FX modules that when brought back into the module create stereo images with those FX on them from super wide to more subtle stereo images (with a dry unprocessed mid to keep things focused). It can also do some unity summing, CV difference / averaging. Lots of patches, lots to get through, skip through the index below if you can't watch all the way through.
