EURORACK VISIT #2 / Threetom Modular's Audio Laboratory / diagnostics and coffeebeans


video upload by BRiES

"In this video I once again take you with me to the place where Threetom Modular gear is conceptualized and born. Tom shows us the calibration and quality control workflow in his Audio Lab while giving us some insight in the tools he uses (links below). We talk about his recent ventures with retailers and about the next module in his line-up called Doppio. After being served a nice cappucino I ask Tom if he has some tips (concepts to study) for people that want to get into designing and building (eurorack) synthesizers, which he answers elaborately. There's a comprehensive list towards the bottom of this description including links to interesting tutorials and practical examples.

As most of you will probably know Tom designs and builds synthesizer modules for the eurorack environment. He gained worldwide recognition with his 4hp filtermodule called Steve's MS-22 (or MS-22 for short) based around the sound of the famous Korg MS-20 semi-modular synth. In part one of the documentary we witnessed how Tom builds a few of these modules from scratch while we talk about his favourite tools, his background as an (optical) engineer and some of his custom jigs. You can watch that video by following this link:" [posted here]

EURORACK VISIT #1 / Threetom Modular's workshop / MS-22 assembly


video upload by BRiES

"Join me in this documented visit to the workshop of Threetom Modular in a small town near Mechelen (Belgium).

Threetom Modular has gained worldwide recognition in the eurorack community with his feature packed STEVE'S MS-22. Tom tells us a little bit about how the filter came to be, who Steve is and how he managed to gain some support really quickly. He also shows us the complete assembly process of his MS-22 and tells us all about the (custom) tools he uses to build them.

A lot of sweat was produced while shooting the video, and I will be back to document the callibration and quality control in Threetom's audio laboratory soon, as well as having a chat about his new upcoming module.

I want to genuinely thank Tom for going along on a ride of which we both didn't exactly know where we would end up. I'm very satisfied with how the audio and video came out, and I'm even more pleased with the fun and insightful content we were able to create together."

Modular Christmas Carols [Steve's MS-22, Twin Waves MkII, Chainsaw, Quadigy, Ensemble Oscillator...]


video upload by Threetom Modular

"PATCH NOTES BELOW! :)

SEASON GREETING TO EVERYONE IN THE MODULAR COMMUNITY FROM THREETOM MODULAR! I HOPE YOU HAVE THE MOST EXCELLENT HOLIDAYS AND I WISH YOU THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR! :D

* Voice 1 (Bass): A mix of a triangle wave and a square sub coming from Klavis Twin Waves MkII into Steve's MS-22. Low pass cutoff is modulated by the Klavis Quadigy envelope generator.

* Voice 2 (Lead): A supersaw coming from Klavis Twin Waves MkII going into Steve's MS-22. Low pass cutoff frequency is modulated by the TipTop Z8000 sequencer, asynchronously clocked by the Doepfer A-145-4 quad LFO.

* Voice 3 (Pad): Acidrain Chainsaw into a stereo pair of Steve's MS-22 filters. The Chainsaw's waveshape is slowly modulated by the Doepfer A-145-4 quad LFO.

* Voice 4 (Bells/counterpoint): 4MS Ensemble Oscillator, manually tweaked throughout the sequence.

All voices go through the ZlobVnicursal VCA, into the Befaco Hexmix and Hexpander combo. The Hexpander sends an effects mix into the Happy Nerding FXaid for reverb (which is then mixed back in through the Hexpanders effect return).

This performance was sequenced by Ableton Live and the Endorphin.es Shuttle control (outside of the shot), based on the midi file 'A Christmas Carol Suite' by Richard Ian (you can find it here: http://midkar.com/holidays/christmas/... )"

Steve's MS-22, Last Batch of the Year



via the ThreeTom Modular mailing list:

"Hi everybody!

Currently, it isn’t clear yet how Brexit will impact my business as of next year. Because of Brexit getting near, I’ve decided to set up another production run for Steve’s MS-22. This way, all of my friends in the UK are able to get their hands on Steve’s MS-22 before Brexit happens. I think it’s quite possible that as of next year I won’t be shipping to the UK until I have all the extra administration figured out.

Don’t wait too long to get yours, as usual, the size of the batch is limited! Any orders made before November 23rd should ship before half of December, reaching the UK before New Year with some margin.

Take care and stay safe!
Tom

PS: Wiretaps are also back in stock!"

You can find both at ThreeTom Modular and SynthCube.

ThreeTom Modular New batches & Summer Deals!


via ThreeTom Modular

"In the coming two weeks I expect to start on a new batch of assembled Steve’s MS-22 modules. I’ll also be receiving a new batch of PCB/panel sets. These will be the last batches until autumn/winter as I’ll be taking a break from production to work on two new modules.

To give these new batches a little boost, I’m offering two deals until the 14th of June 2020:

Pre-order a Steve’s MS-22 module and get a free “Technomancer” illuminated blind plate

Pre-order a Steve’s MS-22 PCB/panel set and get a free Wiretap panel

Please note that these free items will not automatically show up in your cart. I’ll add these to your order manually after you’ve made your payment.

I expect to ship the assembled modules somewhere in the last two weeks of July (and with a bit of luck maybe sooner). The PCB/panel sets should ship as of the 8th of June.

Don’t wait too long before ordering, the last batch of Corona kits sold out in a matter of hours!"

ThreeTom Steve's MS-22 PCB/Panel Back in Stock + Covid19 Update


via ThreeTom Modular

"Good news! The delivery gods have graced me with a new shipment of Steve’s MS-22 PCB/panel sets. I’m also happy to say that these new PCB’s now sport a fancy nickel gold plating, which should lead to even easier SMT soldering than before. Even though the current batch is a bit larger than the previous one, please know there already were some pre-orders. If you want one (or more), don’t wait too long before ordering! :)

In other news, I’m sure you’ve noticed there’s currently a world-wide pandemic going on. This has some impact on shipping :In addition to the PCB/panel set, I’m now also offering the required knobs and switches, saving you some time (and shipping costs) sourcing these very specific components.

Bpost has currently suspended all shipments going out of the EU.
DPD seems mostly fine for now, with some hickups in France, Spain and Italy
Because of the above, some Threetom orders may be delayed. If this is the case for your order, I’ll keep you posted (pun intended) on when I can ship. For all shipments by Bpost, please assume at least 4 weeks of delay. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this.

Stay safe and healthy my friends!
Tom"

Threetom Modular - Steve’s MS-22 dual VCF Released


This is a follow-up to this post where you'll find another demo.

"Today, ThreeTom Modular is releasing its 'Steve’s MS-22 dual VCF' module for eurorack.

The MS-22 is a dual voltage controlled filter, inspired by the classic Korg MS-20 filter, with an innovative modulation matrix and one of the highest function-to-hp ratios in the land of Eurorack.

The MS-22 contains two dedicated filter circuits, one low-pass and the other a high-pass. These are configured in series, the high-pass going into the low-pass. This configuration allows a unique duophonic fighting resonance behaviour. The cutoff frequencies of both filters can be CV’ed. Compared to most bread-and-butter MS-20 clones, the MS-22 is twice the amount of filter condensed down into half the package (4HP).

Furthermore, the MS-22 also has the following unique selling points :
The MS-22 has a unique modulation matrix that allows to configure many internal patches without using cables. Simply put, the modulation matrix (12-14) lets you route whatever modulation source you have connected to the ACV (auxiliary) input (e.g. an external envelope, LFO, S&H etc) to any or all of the following: HPF cutoff frequency, resonance amount, and input gain amount, either inverted or not.

The MS-22 has a unique link switch, which links the cutoff frequencies of the low-pass and high-pass filters in two different ratios. This creates two flavours of band-pass filters, of which the bandwidth can be tweaked and CV’ed. The switch itself also serves as an awesome performance effect as you can use it to create an instant drop. I demonstrate this near the end of this video. [see video below]

Steve's MS-22 is built to order in limited batches, the current batch consists of 10 units. Fully assembled modules are available for 225 EUR (excl. shipping). A limited number of DIY PCB+panel sets are available for 50 EUR (incl. shipping).

More information (videos, specs, manual) can be found on the product page : https://www.threetom.com/products/steves-ms22/
Orders can be placed over e-mail, as described here : https://www.threetom.com/ordering/

ThreeTom Modular is a small boutique shop based in Belgium, run by Tom Verschooten, as a “hobby that go out of hand”, parallel to his full-time job as an Electronics engineer."

THREETOM modular / Steve's MS-22 Dual VCF / Sequenced modulation


Published on Sep 26, 2019 Threetom Modular

"Hi, my name is Tom, and I’m the guy behind THREETOM Modular Synthesizers, a small Eurorack business based in Belgium. Steve’s MS-22 is my first module. Steve’s MS-22 is a dual voltage controlled filter (inspired upon a classic OTA design) with an innovative modulation matrix and one of the highest function-to-hp ratios in the land of Eurorack.

Check out my latest demo video, where I sequence both the FCV and ACV inputs of Steve's MS-22. This leads to some very interesting results.

General features
- Dual VCF inspired by the Korg MS-20 OTA filter
- Low-pass into high-pass configuration
- Innovative modulation matrix allows CV control over all parameters
- Cut-off frequencies can be linked, resulting in a band pass filter with controlable bandwidth
- Bipolar monitoring LEDS for the LP, HP, resonance and gain CV signals
- One of the best functionality-to-size ratios in Eurorack with a width of 4 HP and a depth of 45 mm

I’m planning to make a small handbuilt batch available in the next weeks or so, price TBA.

THREETOM modular / Modular & digital harmonica / Michael Claessens & Steve's MS-22


Published on Aug 11, 2019 Threetom Modular

"Ever wondered if a harmonica can be used to control a synth? The answer is yes!

Michael Claessens is a talented Belgian harmonica player who's interested in electronic music. We hooked up his digital harmonica to my modular system, featuring Steve's MS-22 dual VCF. This lead to an evening of modular fun, including this funky jazz improv we taped... Patch notes are in the description below!

Michael is playing a Lekholm DM48 Digital Chromatic Harmonica (https://www.lekholminstruments.com/). We connected the DM48 to the Endorphin.es Shuttle Control over USB host. We use two slightly detuned saw oscillators from the Intellijel Atlantis, which are mixed at 50% each and then sent into the input of Steve's MS-22 dual VCF. The DM48's breath MIDI CC is converted to a smoothed unipolar CV and routed in to the MS-22's FCV jack, modulating the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter. The MS-22 is set with a high gain and moderate resonance. The high-pass filter is set at a low frequency, not affecting the signal. The output of Steve's MS-22 is then sent into a Zlob VniCursal VCA, modulated by the envelope of the Atlantis (triggered by the Shuttle Control). Reverb was added by means of the Tip Top Z-DSP with the Valhalla Reverb card."
