Bocuma´s Esquivel State Variable VCF!

video upload by Quincas Moreira Music

"This is my first review of a mexican made module! Bocuma is the first Eurorack company based in Mexico. Directly from Guadalajara, this filter, inspired by the great Mexican composer Juan Garcia Esquivel, sounds great, plays nice and has useful features for a budding system.

via Bocuma

"Esquivel is our homage to the master of space-age pop. We designed this filter around a diode ladder topology in a 14HP package, with the capability of switching between the three classic filter states: low pass, band pass and high pass.

To expand control options we added 2 CV inputs for complex cutoff modulations and a 3 input mixing to combine different signals allowing for enriched harmonics and a tastier resonance exploration."

Clouds Re-imagined : A Monsoon Build by Gaz Luke

Published on Feb 13, 2020 Synth Diy Guy

"Gaz Luke of Big T Music sent me this beautiful Monsoon module, an enhanced version of Mutable Instrument's classic Clouds module. It is smaller but offers more controls, and the brushed aluminium panel sports gorgeous Blade Runner inspired graphics by Gaz and Jonathan Barnbrook of Bowie Blackstar fame. So I made a Blade Runner inspired video of a very unique patch!

Monsoon is a redesign of Émilie Gillet's Clouds module, by Jakplugg Open Source from a concept by Pusherman’s Philip Wise

Video shot and edited by Quincas Moreira and Edgar López. Directed by Quincas. Featuring images from films by Stanley Kubrick (fair use)

This module uses the 5V rail (16 pin eurorack connector)!

Included items are:

Panel (128.5 x 20 x 2 mm)
PCB
All components (Resistors, capacitors, IC’s, etc.)

SDIY Class # 6 - The Sensor Sandwich : A Ribbon Controller with Pressure Sensitivity

Published on May 1, 2017 Synth Diy Guy

"In this class we go through devising and constructing a simple ribbon controller made up of two sensors sandwiched together: A Softpot ribbon from Sparkfun, and a pressure sensor lifted from a broken keybed. A very fun way to interact with your analog synthesizers!

Some ideas: Add an attenuator for the ribbon CV output. Make the circuit into a module (will work fine in 12v) and use a din cable to send the sensor data from the controller to the module. Make a board with many of these in different sizes, joysticks and an antenna, to control different parameters. The possibilities are endless!
