AI012 Wave Animator by AI Synthesis | Full Walkthrough, Demo, and Patch Tips

video upload by Robots Are Red

See the announcement post here.

"This video takes a dive into the Wave Animator by AI Synthesis. This is an 8hp pulse harmonic generator. Depending on your input waveform you can get one or two additional pulses between each pulse of the oscillator. You can control the amplitude (positive or negative) of the second pulse, you can control the distance of that secondary pulse from the initial pulse, and you can control both pulses width together. Each modulator also has a cv input with attenuator.

This module is great for more evolving pulse width style effects, triggering flams, clocking swing, and just distorting the heck out of more organic inputs like strings or voice.

This is a full synthesizer based on a plethora of Blue Lantern Modules all intermingled in one standalone synth. Just add v/oct for pitch and a gate/trigger for the envelope and you are good to go.

If you wanted to build this in eurorack, you would need the following modules:
x2 Lunar Modulation Lab
Subharmonics Generator
CSVCO Noise Oscillator
x2 APE Accented Percussion Envelope Generator
Parallax/Blades Filter
x2 Mini Digital LFO
Dwarf Star Stereo Delay

OXI CORAL – Polyphonic Multipart Synthesizer || How to Operate

video upload by Robots Are Red

"In this video we take a look at demystifying the Oxi Coral polyphonic synthesizer eurorack module. Coral is basically 8 Mutable Instruments Plaits in one with more envelope control, filter, chorus, space reverb, and a wav player. You can use it as an 8 voice polyphonic synthesizer, or as a full on groovebox synthesizer with up to 8 different midi parts.
This video goes over all the functions and functionality of coral, how to assign groups, saving & loading presets, and CV control (and assignment).
This is not a sound demo for all the different synth engines. Think of it more as a video manual.

via Blue Lantern Modules Reverb Shop

This module has the modern 3109 filter chip. The older 3109 chip is found in the vintage Roland keyboards like SH-101.

What I did is add resonance audio drop out compensation and precision resistors for the exponential converter. The module

will easily track 5+ octaves when in full self oscillation. Band pass was also added as a bonus. The band pass steals the

show, as many have not heard an sh101 with band pass.

-24db low pass

-18db band pass

-Internal VCA for easy voice building

-FM Bi Polar CV input for the Filter

-Envelope Input for the VCA

-Dual Audio Inputs, one direct, and the other with over drive.

CLOVERLEAF - Intellijel Case Interface and Headphone Module by After Later Audio

"In this video we take a look at the new 1u Intellijel case interface module, Cloverleaf. This module can act as a line-in/line-out module, a pedal interface, and/or a headphone output utilizing the 1/4" jacks built into your intellijel case.

An interface for the case 1/4" jacks in Intelljel cases. The jacks are marked as if they are part of the case, so the jacks marked out, require an input. I know it's confusing, but my brain just may be a little backwards.

The module sports both input and output for either a consumer line level (0.447Vpk) or a professional line level (1.095Vpk). These levels are controllable via jumper on the back of the module. It can also have a single input and output channel switched to pedal level. The case output is fed to the headphone amp that has a corresponding level control. The module otherwise does not have any level control and relies on using a VCA or other module to perform any level controls.

The module can essentially be run in one of three modes:

1) Stereo line level in and out

2) Stereo line level in and out via the left side and mono pedal in and out on the right side. In this mode the stereo line levels leverage TRS on the 1/4" jacks. You can use the included 3.5mm couplers to get TRS on the 3.5mm side.

3) Mono line level in and out via the left side and mono pedal in and out on the right side.

For Palette 64hp users only have two 1/4" jacks. You can choose if you want to use the case jacks as either inputs, outputs, or one input and one output.

Blue Lantern Lucky 7 - 24db SH01 Low Pass VCF/VCA // Full Walkthrough and Demo

video upload by Robots Are Red

Introducing Lucky 7 by Blue Lantern Modules. This is a 16hp 24db Low Pass filter based on the famous Roland SH01 filter from 1978. Along with the two input filter, this module includes a built in OTA based VCA with two CV inputs, authentic headphone feedback circuit, two subharmonics generators, built in noise, and a good handful of CV inputs.
Just patch a VCO and an Envelope and you are ready to go!

In the video we take a deep dive into each knob and CV input, listen to the filter in various settings, and even look at some feedback self-patching with excellent results.

Model: BLM Lucky 7
Width 16hp
Current: +69mA -68mA
PCB Stack: 1 Level, Skiff compatible.

Module type: analog filter, sub harmonic generator, internal vca, white noise generator, (self) oscillator

What does this do?

This particular product is my take on the vintage analog filter found on the Roland SH1 Keyboard. Some key differences from the original
are low end correction on the resonance path (audio level would drop), with voltage control, and I used a modern exponential converter.

The bass frequency will retain nicely on this modern version. No more audio level drop. The 'RCV' can be used to simulate Band Pass sounding tones when used with audio rate external sources..

I also included the famous feedback patch that lucky users of the vintage keyboard would do. Users would patch from the headphone output back into the filter external input.
I duplicated the original discrete headphone circuity and internally patched it for you. All you have to do is turn it up with the 'FBK' knob. Small settings go a long way with this.
It can get strange with too much feedback, in a good way.

24db Low Pass Filter.

Features:

(2) Possible External Audio inputs.
(1) White Noise Generator, Switch Jack internally patched to AIN2 input jack.
(2) Sub Hamronic Generators taken from the SH101 circuitry. Both are accessible by level knobs.
(1) Voltage Controlled Rez, with auto low end level correction.
(1) 1V per octave 'Expo' input.
(1) Linear FM input. Best used during Filter Self Oscilation duties.
(1) Bi-polar FM Attenuinverter. Best used with an external envelope generator.
(1) Internal VCA with 2 possible CV inputs. VCA knob is a manual offset to 'open' the VCA.

What you get:
Mixer +WhiteNoiseGen +Subharmonics +VCF +VCA

All you need is a vco, and envelope generator to complete a compact analog mono voice.


If this was literally your first and only module, it is possible to make sound and noise for entertainment.

Blue Lantern Gleba VCF // Walkthrough & Demo

video upload by Robots Are Red

"In this video we take a look at the brand new VCF by Blue Lantern Modules, Gleba. Based on the VCF from BLM's Dwarf Star Semi Modular Synthesizer, Gleba crams a lot of fun functionality into only 10hp.

This VCF has:
- Two audio inputs, one with attenuator
- 12db Low Pass/Band Pass/High pass filter with mix & match switches
- A screaming self oscillating resonance sine wave
- Limit switch to squash those middle frequencies for a more metallic-like tone similar to the MS-20
- Two Subharmonics Generators, 1 and 2 octaves lower
- FM modulation input with attenuverter
- CV control over resonance and frequency (with 1v/oct tracking)
- A built in VCA that is bypassed when left unpatched.

Filter, crunch up, or add character to your sounds. Use it as an oscillator, a crunchy rudimentary EQ, as a nice squelchy filter, and so much more.

Special thanks to Blue Lantern for providing the the module for the video."
