Leviathan :: Sputnik Modular Drone Patch

Published on Jul 22, 2018 Mike Thomas

"A drone patch heavily featuring the Sputnik Four-Tap Delay/Dual Crossfader module (with no crossfading :-)).

Patch Notes
==========

Main Sound
==========
Primary sound source is the Sputnik Dual Oscillator in AM & FM mode, receiving v/oct from Sputnik 5-Step Voltage Source. Timbre and Harmonics are being modulated by separate channels of the Sputnik Quad Function & Trigger Source. Modulation index is modulated by another channel of 5-Step Voltage Source.

Did I mention this is an all-sputnik patch? Well, it is, except for the reverb, which is a 2hp Verb.

The Final output of the DO is sent to Quad VCF/VCA in "Combo" (LPG) mode.

Delay Patching
---------------------
Th output of the QVV is sent to input channel #1 of the Sputnik Four-Tap Delay/Cross-fader and multed to a channel of the 6-channel MIxer. Each of the delay taps is sent to a different channel of the mixer, with stereo panning applied. Two of them are on the CV-pannable channels, and these are modulated by the West Coast Random Source Fluctuating Random Voltage channels.

The secondary output of the 1/2t tap is patched into the Valve Multiplier (VCA) as the input source, with the Waveshape output of one of the Sputnik single oscillators as the modulator, The resultant two-quadrant multiplier output is sent to another QVV channel in filter mode and back into input #2 of the Delay. The QVV filter is modulated by another channel of the QFTS.

The secondary output of the 1t tap is fed back into the #3 input of the Delay.

The square output of the single oscillator above is sent into another channel of the Valve Multiplier, with another channel of the 5SVS modulating it.

Bass
=====
Bass is the Waveshape output of a second Sputnik Oscillator with v/oct from the final channel of the 5SVS, fed through the WCRS Integrator (portamento/slew) circuit.


Production Notes
==============
L/R modular-level signals from the Sputnik 6-channel Stereo Mixer were multed and sent to a) 1U Headphone Jack, and 2) Intellijel 1U I/O module, which send signal to the case-mounted 1/4" jacks. Signal was routed on to the Sony PCMD50 digital recorder.

Some details via Roman on Muff's:

"we (Roman Filippov and Alex Pleninger) are glad to introduce the result of almost a year of development, coding, electronic tests and just complex work in general - Sputnik Defect Processor Model 289.

this device is crafted to precisely comply the modular standards of Buchla Electric Music Box better known as Buchla 200 and Buchla 200e.

the core of the 289 is a Digital Signal Processor which takes all the computations in sound transforming and generating. around it one may observe some controllable analogue parameters such as Balance and Regeneration, they are independent for each audio channel. both DSP cores have 8 independent Programs or Algorithms per core and each such algorithm has three voltage controllable parameters, varying from program to program. each core can be expanded via another 8 programs on external EEPROM chip. one of the most exciting feature is the variable Timebase which affects a lot of nuances in every algorithm's behavior.

apart from conventional stuff like reverbs, delays and various modulations the Model 289 offers quite unique solutions such as fm-synthesis, wide sonic range generators, human throat modelling, simple spectrum transfer facility, pitch-to-cv conversion, pitch shifting, audio looping, several sound destructors, pitch class generator, karplus-strong synthesis and many others, including some auxiliary programs. and the program list is ever-growing, new programs are always on the way.

we hope this module will take its place in every Buchla system whether it is a baby 4U boat or two 18U cabinets mighty electronic workbench.

ALGORITHMS

OSCILLATORS

we offer two oscillator programs, both of them work in audio range from 25 to approximately 3000 hz.

the controls are the following:
x - pitch.
y - wavemorphing.
z - wavefolding.

audio inputs 1 and 2 support amplitude and frequency modulations respectively.
on the output 1 you'll get final waveform morphed and folded, if any.
the second output provides the sub-oscillator one octave below the main one.
as for y and z controls, the first one continuously morphs the osc core (saw or triangle, depending on chosen program) from saw through triangle to half-inverted saw or from triangle through sine to square. in the case the wavemorphing is set to square, the wavefolding performs as pwm controller. in any other situations z-pot folds the wave in a manner of mathematical reflection at the given threshold. all these are pretty straight-forward, even if sounds a bit messy. you may observe the oscillators behavior in the attached [above] video footages.

New Eurorack Manufacturer Tsyklon Labs

Published on Jul 21, 2016 Sean Pendleton

"Clocking many things Tsyklon Labs Chaos Dividers. I'm clocking my Klee, triggering various drums, triggering bleeps, bloops, and synthesized fart noises. This video is probably 5 minutes too long."

Details on each module via Tsyklon Labs for the archives:

CHAOS DIVIDER HV Eurorack Clock Modulator Module

"A clock signal. A serial chain of pulses. Some wide, some narrow. Some pulses are taller than others. Others, not so much. A clock may not the most exciting signal that gets passed around a modular synth, but it is certainly a useful signal. Take that clock pulse and pass it back out. But maybe instead of high fidelity, you drop every other pulse. Or maybe every third, or fifth, or eighth. By dividing your clock train, you can run an entire “drum set” of modules with one input and many outputs. But what happens when you add unpredictability, chaos if you will, to a normally pedestrian module? You get a CV controllable, multi-divisor, revolutionary clock modulator we call the CHAOS DIVIDER HV:

It is easy to be distracted by the glow of the Mode indicating Nixie tube (HV means HIGH VOLTAGE), this is a hard module to miss. But look past the neon beauty, and you will see a module with brains too. Front panel or CV selectable divisor mode, 9 outputs (inverted or normal outputs selectable with front panel toggle switch), division reset via push-button or trigger/gate input, and front panel and CV controls for Intensity and Interval chaos variables. Oh, and a clock signal.

The Mode control lets you select the divisor sequence from the list displayed to the left of the Nixie tube. In CHAOS mode, the divisors change at random according to the Intensity and Interval chaos variable selectors. The Intensity variable changes the range of the randomly selected divisor and the Interval variable changes how often divisors are recalculated. In non-CHAOS mode, the Interval variable introduces slip (or delay) to the outputs. This causes the outputs to be delayed from the incoming clock signal. Similarly, in non-CHAOS mode, the Intensity variable selects whether the slip applied to all outputs is the same (low Intensity) or varies across the outputs (high Intensity).

A few technical details: CV input allowable range is 0-10VDC. Anything over 10VDC is limited to 10VDC. The output pulses can be individually configured from 5-10VDC with a twist of a trimpot. Front panel controls behave as an attenuator for CV inputs.

Add our expander module, the CHAOS DIVIDER SPUTNIK (by the way, Sputnik means “Companion” in Russian), and unleash all the features that make the CHAOS DIVIDER a clock modulator for the people, Comrade!

Technical Specifications:
– 129.4mm (5.095″) Front Panel Height (3U Eurorack format)
– 12HP Module Width
– 51mm Module Depth
– Power Consumption: +12V = 165mA, -12V = 0mA, +5V = 0mA

Front panel graphics were designed by the inimitable Hannes Pasqualini @ Papernoise

Assembled modules retail for $400 USD, and Front Panel/(3)PCB/Rare Parts sets sell for $85 USD."

CHAOS DIVIDER SPUTNIK Eurorack Clock Modulator Expander Module

"In Russian, SPUTNIK means “Companion” – and that is exactly what the CHAOS DIVIDER SPUTNIK module is. A companion, or more accurately, an expander module for the CHAOS DIVIDER.

Want to change your CHAOS DIVIDER clock divider into a frequency divider? Flip the “Division” switch, Comrade! Would you rather have twice as many clock outputs and go half as deep with the divisions? The “Split” switch was added just for you. Do you need Gate outputs instead of Trigger outputs? There is a switch for that too. There is also a front panel control and a CV input for dialing in Gate Length.

Can you keep a secret, Compai? Each CHAOS DIVIDER comes with a 4HP blue acrylic place holder panel. Our shpiony report that this place holder is nearly identical to the CHAOS DIVIDER SPUTNIK panel. So you can use the place holder to save 4HP in your rack for the CHAOS DIVIDER SPUTNIK, or, if you are an enterprising Udarnik, you can use the place holder panel to make your own CHAOS DIVIDER SPUTNIK! #diyforthepeople

Technical Specifications:
– 129.4mm (5.095″) Front Panel Height (3U Eurorack format)

Assembled modules retail for $80 USD, and partial kits sell for $25 USD."

CORE Eurorack Passive DI Module

"Do you need to connect your Eurorack synth to a balanced audio Live or Recording rig? Find the solution with our Transformer-Based Passive DI module called CORE.

CORE is a passive transformer coupled direct injection unit for connecting a Eurorack synth to the microphone/line levels in mixers and recording equipment as well as passing the Input signal directly to the Thru connection. CORE features a Sowter 8044 12:1 DI Transformer with a Mumetal core and an XLR connector from Neutrik. Signal Attenuator and Ground Lift controls (both pre-transformer) help you trim the signal as needed. While the audio portion of this module is passive, it can be connected to a Eurorack power supply to provide LED indication of Ground Lift mode – BLUE halo around the transformer for ground connected and a RED halo for ground lift.

While the audio circuitry of CORE is passive, if you connect CORE to your rack’s power supply for the backlighting/ground lift indication, expect that it will draw 4mA or less.

Technical Specifications:
– 129.4mm (5.095″) Front Panel Height (3U Eurorack format)
– 8HP Module Width
– 35mm Module Depth
– Passive Audio Path
– Power Consumption: +12V = 0mA, -12V = 4mA, +5V = 0mA

Front panel graphics were designed by the inimitable Hannes Pasqualini @ Papernoise

Assembled modules retail for $220 USD, full kits are priced at $149 USD, and “Supply your own Transformer” kits sell for $70 USD."

BELKA and STRELKA Eurorack Germanium Fuzz Module

"Start with CV control over two stages of gain powered by Russian Germanium transistors. Dose the circuit with 4 different types of diode clipping. Top it off with a power starve pushbutton, a feedback circuit, and a squirrelly transistor derezzing circuit. Take all of these components, give them three orbits around a dying star, and you have our fuzz singularity, the BELKA and STRELKA.

Named after the first two Stardogs to fly into space and return safely to earth, BELKA and STRELKA is a Germanium Fuzz module with selectable clipping modes and CV control over Gain Stages 1 and 2. BELKA and STRELKA features NOS Russian Germanium transistors in the gain stages and NOS Russian Germanium and Silicon diodes for clipping. The clipping section also features hard and soft LED clipping as well as a purposefully mis-biased transistor that sounds so squirrelly that we had no choice but to name it after the Stardog Belka (squirrel in Russian). The BELKA and STRELKA fuzz module also has an adjustable feedback function that blends a portion of the output straight back to the input of the module. Lastly, the Starve pushbutton, when pressed, disconnects the first gain stage from the +12VDC supply and lets it fizzle out as the charge on the starve capacitor discharges.

Technical Specifications:
– 129.4mm (5.095″) Front Panel Height (3U Eurorack format)
– 8HP Module Width
– TBD Module Depth
– Power Consumption: +12V = TBD, -12V = TBD, +5V = 0mA

Front panel graphics were designed by the inimitable Hannes Pasqualini @ Papernoise

After building our first set of prototypes and reviewing them at our test facilities, we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of this module until later this year. It is so very close, yet we know we can make it much better."

New Synth Gear and Makers in January 2015

After this year's massive New Years post, I thought it might be interesting to see how many new makers and new gear announcements we received in a single month.

This may or may not become a monthly theme on the site depending on interest.  If you think it's worth while, leave a comment.

At a high level we had 12 new makers, one new old maker previously never featured on the site, and a whopping 193 new synth related products. Check out the module list below.  The list is a combination of what was either announced or released this month.

Sputnik Modular Performance :: "No Regrets"

Published on Jun 3, 2018 Mike Thomas

"A modular synthesizer performance carried out on a Sputnik Modular system. All sounds, and most "control" done with Sputnik modules.


PATCH NOTES
===========
I traded out the WMD Tool-Box for 2hp Div (really needed a clock divider!), 2hp Delay, and 2hp Tune (quantizer). This opened up the case for more interesting rhythmic stuff and allows the Disting to take on other roles when needed (though, ironically, it didn't get used in this patch).

In order of appearance ...

Percussion/rhythm is pink and white noise alternated by Sputnik Selector and enveloped by a channel of Quad Function and Trigger Source (QFTS). Decay modulated by a West Coast Random Source (WCRS) Fluctuating Random Voltages (FRV).

First voice is Sputnik Oscillator Sub output, which is eventually mixed with the Main/Waveshaped output. Waveshaping parameter modulated by WCRS Stored Random Voltage (SRV). Notes "sequenced" by WCRS Quantized Random Voltages (QRV), and quantized by 2hp Tune (major scale). QRV index hand modulated. 2hp Tune's "Bias" parameter modulated by 5-Step Voltage Source (5SVS). Final mixed output sent to Quad VCF/VCA (QVV) in LPG mode and sent to a second channel of QVV in Filter mode, also manually wiggled.

Second/bass voice is Sputnik Dual Oscillator Sine and Final outputs mixed and enveloped by QFTS and QVV. Envelope is also modulating Timbre. Modulation oscillator is in VCO mode and AMing the main oscillator. Modulation index, Harmonics Order, and Timbre manually increased over the course of the piece. Notes sequenced by one channel of 5SVS. 5SVS is advanced every other trigger from 2hp Div by multing the Div channel to WCRS S&H Pulse 'splitter'."

Devil's Pizzicato :: Sputnik Drone :: Dual Oscillator & Four-Tap Delay and Dual Crossfader

Published on Jul 25, 2018 Mike Thomas

"Mainly the DO and Four-tap delay being modulated by various other Sputnik modules. Reverb is from 2hp Verb.

Patch Notes
==========
The main soundmaker here is the Sputnik Dual Oscillator. It is set up with AM and FM modulation, and its Timbre and Order parameters are modulated by the Fluctuating Random Voltage channels of the West Coast Random Source (WCRS).

The Sputnik DO's final output is sent to the Four-Tap Delay/Dual Crossfader via the Make Noise LxD. Each of the delay's outputs are either fed-back into the extra inputs of the delay's mixer, or fed into a channel of one of the crossfaders. A couple of channels are sent off to the Quad VCF/VCA for filtering before being either fed back in or crossfaded. The filters help to keep the feedback under control (mostly, unless opened wide). The filters are modulated by a couple of channels of the Quad Function and Trigger source, which themselves are modulated by each other and the WCRS. The Crossfaders are modulated by the slewed S&H of the 1U Noise Tools module.

The delay's time CV is being modulated (sometimes) by a channel of the 5-Step voltage source. The modulation is most obvious when I crank up the attenuator on the module.

The delay's FM input is receiving signal from a Sputnik Oscillator's Waveshape output via the Valve Multiplier (VCA), which is modulated itself by Stored Random Voltages from the WCRS. I hand-wiggle this at least once.

The same Oscillator is filtered and sent to the mix as a drone, with the filter modulated by the 1U Intellijel Noise Tools S&H (slewed)."

Tiptop Circadian Rhythms sequencer eurorack beats & bass

Published on May 7, 2015 bigcitymusic

"The Tiptop Audio Circadian Rhythms sequencer is sequencing the Sputnik Oscillator, Tiptop Audio Marimba 808 and Mutable Instruments Peaks set to drum mode (kick/snare). The Clock/Reset Out is controlling the Intellijel Metropolis. The Metropolis pitch CV is modulating the Sputnik Oscillator (time modified by the 4ms QCD). A trigger channel from the Circadian Rhythms is being used as a pulse for the Sputnik West Coast Random source stored quantized voltages which is FM’ing the Intellijel Korgasmatron II (filtering the oscillator). White Noise from the Wet Coast Random Source is modulating the FM input of the oscillator. The oscillator is routed into Max/MSP for delay modulation. The oscillator is multed out into the Pittsburgh Phase Shifter. Both oscillator signals are sent into the Sputnik Quad/VCF VCA where the Circadian Rhythms is triggering both channels of the Intellijel Dual ADSR which is enveloping the VCA CV inputs. All sounds are summed in the Sputnik 6-Channel Stereo Mixer.

Sputnik 2 (lightly FM'd by Sputnik 1) - Timbre (modulated by PEG) - Optomix
Pitch sequence from Rene

Balanced Modulator Patch
(several sounds were derived from this patch by changing Rene's Gate outs, wiggling octaves, FM depth, etc.)
Sequencer 1 driving the pitch
Maths enveloping the Optimixes
which receive the signal from the balanced mod setup:
2 Sputniks going into the uVCAs with inversions
(Sputnik 1 is also lightly FM'ing Sputnik 2)
PEG is controlling the FM depth (via Classic VCA) and
modulating Expo/Pitch on Sputnik 1

Machine Noise Patch
(these are the loud whirring sounds from around 4:05)
Rene (getting Glide data from Sequencer 1) driving
the STO and the Rubicon
STO putting out Vari Shape (modulated by PEG)
and Sine out to Timbre (modulated by PEG at 180 deg phase)
Optomix enveloped by Maths
Rubicon square out (PWM'd by Seq 1 LFO, Symmetry modulated by Maths), some QR noise and Timbre output are mixed
and sent to Optomix enveloped by Maths

Drums in Spark (electronic) Jamstix (hand percussion) and modular (bleep bloops)

One of the Bal Mod Patch sounds was sequenced through Array

and of course my trusty Tektronix 422 scope providing the trippy light show."
