New Synthrotek Fold Module for Eurorack - Demo | 4hp Wave Folder and Ring Mod

Published on Apr 25, 2018 File Transfer Protocol

"Putting the new FOLD module from Synthrotek through its paces. It’s a wave folder and ring mod packed into 4hp. It’s great for bringing new tones and textures out of your existing setup. In this video I’m running the saw wave of a Moog Mother 32 through the wave fold section of the unit. Later on in the video you will notice I patch the pulse wave into the ring mod section creating an even thicker cyborg-ish sound. The slider format of the FOLD module is very playable and begs to be tweaked in real-time even though it has an input to modulate with CV."

Synthrotek FOLD Module Eurorack Wave Folder & Ring Modulator

Published on May 1, 2018 synthrotek

Previous demos here.

via Synthrotek:

"Synthrotek’s FOLD is a combination Wavefolder and Ring Modulator. The FOLD changes the shape of a waveform in order to create harmonics and find new timbres and sonic palettes. The Ring Modulator circuit mixes two waves together to make metallic, bell-like tones, big bass lines and Dalek sci-fi robotic sounds. Patch your folded wave into the ring mod (or vice versa) for sonic euphoria!

Features:
Ring modulator
Taps switch selects 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 stages of folding
Bipolar CV input over Level
Offset for adjusting wave symmetry
Wet/dry Mix
Specifications:
Module width: 4HP
Module depth: 60mm
Current draw:
+12V: 50 mA
-12V: 40 mA
+5V: 0 mA"

Synthrotek VCO | Modular Vignette Series

Published on Aug 3, 2018 File Transfer Protocol

"Showcasing some of the incredibly rich sounds you can achieve with the Synthrotek Analog VCO. Everything that you hear me playing on the keyboard (Sequential Circuits Six-Trak) are actually sounds coming from the Synthrotek VCO only. (I'm just using the keyboard as a midi controller)

This VCO is based on the Curtis CEM3340 reissue chip. You can learn more about it here: http://store.synthrotek.com/VCO--Anal...

Patch Notes: I'm using all three outputs simultaneously in this video. I start with the Saw and Pulse panned left and right, then add a patch to modulate pulsewidth through the pulse width modulation input, giving a really thick sound. Eventually, I create a harsher tone taking advantage of the mod in, using the pulse from another oscillator to rough up the Synthrotek VCO's sound. Finally, I add in the final wave from the VCO which is the Triangle wave, running through the Synthrotek Fold module. This creates a sharp attack for the FM sound. All envelopes and LFO's are coming from the Synthrotek Quadrangle, and VCA, pathced finally into the Synthrotek Stereo Mixer."

Synthrotek Quadrangle (DIY Kit) modulates... Everything. | Modular Vignette Series

Published on May 15, 2018 File Transfer Protocol

"In this Vignette I’m using the new DIY kit version of the Synthrotek QUADRANGLE to modulate pretty much everything that you hear. I’m varying the envelopes on the Quadrangle with a Pressure Points to take advantage of the CV inputs and change the speed, attack and decay of each envelope. The QUADRANGLE it then modulating 3 filters (2 Mother-32’s and a Moregasmatron, The FM modulation and cv input on Braids, a Synthrotek FOLD munching on one of the Mother-32’s and a few other things. The Quadrangle DIY kit will be available soon."

Synthrotek Analog VCO - All textures, No talk

Published on Aug 9, 2018 File Transfer Protocol

"Except for the obvious acoustic sounding drums, all sounds in this video are produced by the new Synthrotek Analog VCO. It may have been patched through, around or over top of any combination of the following other modules from Synthrotek: FOLD, ROBOTO, VCA, QUADRANGLE, ADSR, STEREO OUT, DLY, VERB, and at one point it was mutated in an FM fashion by a Mother like module from a company that rhymes with rogue.

Synthrotek LPG | Modular Vignette Series

Published on Aug 16, 2018 File Transfer Protocol

"Showcasing the Synthrotek Dual Low Pass Gate in a piece entitled Shadow Dance. The lead textures are a combination of the new LPG, VCO, FOLD, and Quandrangle from the twisted team in Moscow Idaho. The vocal samples are running through ROBOTO, and the DS-M is throwing down support on the kick side of things. You want to check out the new LPG for some Buchla inspired tones, go to"

Synthrotek OBEY | Modular Vignette Series

Published on Oct 4, 2018 File Transfer Protocol

"Playing with the new OBEY module from Synthrotek. OBEY is a dual-function module: one half envelope follower and one half attenuverter / offset generator. I'm using the envelope follower in a feedback type path from the vco which is running through the Fold module in order to modulate the resonance on the LPG. The percussion is provided by two DS-M modules, and all of the sequence is coming from the Division 6 Labs Dual Mini Sequencer."

Modular Jam #28 - Nightlight

Published on Sep 29, 2015 DivKidMusic

"Full patch notes below so you can see how everything was done. Another fairly simple "oh that's pretty cool I'll film it" jam video. Wish I had more time to get into bigger more playable and varied patches but I don't at the minute. So these jams stay as fairly quick little snippets of patches I tend to make when I unwind with the modular after work. Full patch notes below.

PATCH NOTES -

Kick
Happy Nerding HM VCO's sine wave output with the WMD Multimode Envelope going into the FM input to trigger a sharp rise and fast exponential decay to create the kick sound.

Snare Noise
This is the white noise output of the Frequency Central System X SH module going through the Frequency Central Meth Amp for tone/feedback shaping. A gate opens up the volume (VCA) on the Meth Amp to create the note length.

Main Percussion
The ALM Busy Circuits Dinky's Taiko module provides percussion and through the video the oscillators releases and on board envelope speed is manually adjusted.

Laser Hi Hats
This is the SARA filter from Din Sync self oscillating with the cut off modulated by the Frequency Central UltraWave LFO with a distorted falling saw wave shape to create the laser resonance style sound. Cut off is adjusting manually through the video.

Drum Mixing & Processing
All four drum parts go into Mutable Instruments Frames working as a basic four channel mixer. The sound then goes into a Synthrotek DLY which has it's mix and feedback amount manually adjusted through the video. This then goes into the main mixer for the patch which is Shades from Mutable Instruments.

Bass
The bass sound is Mutable Instruments Braids in Fold mode. The fold amount is modulated by Mutable Instruments Peaks in LFO mode with smooth/curved sample and hold as the output. Braids then goes into Mutable Instruments Clouds for some granular processing with feedback and reverb. The blend - dry/wet mix of Cloud sis modulated with hand gestures on a HackMe Vectr. This goes into Shades as the master mixer.

Melody
Mutable Instruments Elements provides the melody sound for the main sequence in the patch. It's Blow Timbre is modulated with the System X SH module, the Dampening modulated by one row of a Make Noise Pressure Points sequence, the brightness modulated by another Pressure Points sequence and the resonantor position modulated by a triangle LFO from Peaks.

Sequencing / Clocks
ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's Workout provides all the clocks/triggers in the Euclidean Toy Firmware mode. This triggers the Kick and Laster Hi Hat sound as well as the Dinky's Taiko percussion line. It also sending a clock to the Make Noise Brains module controlling a pair of linked Pressure Points modules. Step 5's gate output on the linked Pressure Points opens up the VCA in the Meth Amp to let the noise through create the snare/noise hit in the drum section. The 3 rows of the pressure points are taken out into an Erica Synths Sequential Switch with the Pressure Points' first step gate output triggering the sequential sequencing. The output of the switch then goes into an RYO Airtenuator for simple attenuation of the voltages before going into an ADDAC 207 Quantizer to send pitch to Elements for the main sequence."
