Update: "Re-upload because the text wasn't visible."

"The chaining feature of the Facehugger function generator is working!
This is a two-unit demo, showing some of the features and use of the Tail output for emphasis

OBS output the file in 640x480 for some reason, my apologies. Not gonna redo a pre-beta demo video though.

Caption text:
00:15 In this video, the Head Out is connected to the Infernal Noise Machine VCO CV input. Next, the Tail Out is connected to the INM IMP Frequency CV input, adding emphasis to the notes played by the Tail stages.

00:33 The Facehuggers are chained (in series) via the rear chaining headers. The Head unit outputs all stages, while the Body and Tail units only output their respective stages.

00:43 The controls of each unit only affect the output of that unit - Length, Level, Speed, Curve, Root, Scale, Direction, Glide, etc. Trigger and Gate signals are rerouted to the Head unit and start/restart/maintain the full sequence.

1:36 Connecting the Tail Out to the INM VCA2 CV input

1:49 Now changing various control settings - Direction, Root, Scale, Curve.

3:08 That's it for now, thanks for watching!
Next will be a demo of a 3-unit chain, after I get the third unit working."

First a new video for Facehugger. Blood Box details further below.

"Using the Facehugger function generator to control Parasite Antifilter (compilation video).

Starting with a tone from Parasite, then adding a drone from the Infernal Noise Machine, and then using the Facehugger output to control the Mid Q CV input, with random noodlings from thereon.

Facehugger preorders are open now, details at https://flightofharmony.com/facehugge..."

"Facehugger: Pre-orders for the new Facehugger all-analog, vector-addressable, chainable, function generator are now open!

The alpha prototype has been built, corrected, and is fully working. The design has been updated and the next circuit board designs are almost complete. The beta and (hopefully) final PCBs will be ordered this week, and test units should be sent out to testers next week, and the production units are expected to ship mid-September."

And:

"Infernal Noise Machine Blood Box: It’s Summer, so it’s time to build the last of the desktop INM Blood Boxes. The first run sold out and now even the eurorack versions are gone, so this run is the very last of the V2 Infernal Noise Machines that will be built."

• Facehugger Out is sent through a buffered multiple to the desktop Infernal Noise Machine VCO Tune CV input for the lead, and to the Choices joystick Y-axis In,
• Choices Y Out to Parasite Antifilter Low Q CV input for the bassline and squealing.
• Choices X Out to Facehugger Root CV input, shifting the patterns up or down.

New flight of harmony Parasite Antifilter & Famine Eurorack Modules

video upload by flightofharmony

Overview video followed by demos. The following is the description for the overview:

"A slow walkthrough of Parasite dynamics, showing off the quirks and extreme variability.

Very simple patching (sometimes none), and just showing the more unstable end of usage: Out 2, high Feedback, etc.

It is interesting to note that the Parasite Antifilter acts like a capacitor sometimes and stores energy. Many of the sounds it generates have a charging period before they show and then run on their own like an additional source. They'll keep running until the settings are changed, and have to re-charge before they appear again.

I was going to edit this, but we left it complete to show everything, even the dead zones.

Sources: Desktop Infernal Noise Machine for tone and LFO, IMP for other.

Notable points:

10:50
12:25
13:09 - Shows the development of various tones and rhythms over the next minute or so.
15:54 through17:15 - long-cycle rhythmic evolution & sporadic distortion."

What is the Parasite Antifilter?
Well, it started out as a VC parametric equalizer, but it sucked. Really bad. I decided to trash the idea and sent the original prototype to the Great Wizard for them to play with since we had been chatting about it. The subsequent findings were completely the opposite of what I found – not about the filter part though, that still sucked. It turns out the Parasite Antifilter is a ridiculously fun and useful drone source, drum generator (especially kicks, snares, and blocks), distortion and fuzz, absolute sonic wreckage device, coloring mixer, formant generator, and so on. We keep finding more uses for it each time it’s fired up.

Ostensibly, the Parasite Antifilter is a 2nd-order cascaded parametric equalizer. Out1 is from the first stage, Out2 is from the second stage. Both can be used simultaneously for a stereo-esque signal. The Feedback knob controls amount of output fed back to the input, and the Feedback toggle chooses if it’s from Out1 or Out2.

The 'Infest' switches are wholly serendipitous and defy explanation. Just know that they are there for good reason, which is readily apparent when you use them. Infest 1 affects the first stage, Infest 2 the second.



"Welcome to Flight's Famine Fun - IMP Edition!

Having used Famine to turn two sound effect modules into sound sources, it was time to see what new possibilities could be found by using Famine on a source module - the INM IMP.

This video is goes into more detail and exploration to show how much is hidden away inside a module that just takes a little torture and suffering to bring out. Come watch!

As with the others, this is the raw audio, with no processing."

What is Famine?
Famine is a voltage-controlled power starvation module, a teasing taste of electronic death – with the ever-present threat of the real thing. Your system will squeal, stutter, fuzz, and shriek, in new ways as you torture it while discovering the sublime joys of Schadenfreude.

Famine is capable of handling 1.5A, enough for an entire busboard of modules.

All/Split:
• In the All position, positive and negative rails track together using the All/+V knob and CV input and the -V knob and CV input are ignored.
• In the Split position, positive and negative are separated and controlled from their respective knob and CV input.

Crush/Wrack:
• In the Crush position, positive and negative mirror each other, i.e., +5V & -5V, +6V & -6V.
• In the Wrack position, positive and negative track inversely, i.e., 0v & -10V, +1V & -9V, +8V & -2V, etc.

Starve/Feed:
Starve position to starve, Feed position to bypass circuit entirely.

L.E.D.s
The LEDs indicate the level of starvation and glow brightest at 0V output.

Notes:

• Most effective on analog systems. Since digital is based on the principle of either on or off, there’s not much to play with there. Systems with bootup periods are particularly annoying.
• NO RELAYS, GAUGES, MOTORS, FANS, OR OTHER INDUCTIVE SYSTEMS (see below).

Disclaimer:
Famine may destroy your system. Although commonly used, voltage starvation is a largely unstudied technique and the dangers it poses are not well known or understood, but are rumored to range from general malfunction to actual fire and catastrophic failure. Any use of this module is entirely at your own risk.

NOT RECOMMENDED with inductive or electromechanical systems. Inductive kickback has been known to be a danger to circuitry in AC power distribution systems. The currents in Eurorack are highly unlikely to cause damage, but it is a non-zero possibility.

Details, samples, updates, and discussion can be found in the Famine thread on ModWiggler.com.

"Infradead of the Tacoma Noise Rodeo submitted another great INM-E demo track.
'INM is processing the drums. One channels filter is being audio modulated by drums the other by the osc.'

The Infernal Noise Machine Kickstarter campaign is almost over! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Remember: this was just a tryout of the Kickstarter platform. Development of the INM-E has been in progress the whole time and is now finalized, so these are being built whether or not the campaign succeeds. All pledges will be converted to preorders if the goal is not reached, so this is your chance to get one of the 22 remaining Limited Edition units!"

flightofharmony INM E Simple Self-Patch Demos #2 & #3

flightofharmony

"Another four-cable self-patch example of the eurorack Infernal Noise Machine. This one starts in a higher range like static or white noise. The second half shows how the INM is made of "sweet spots", where small control changes greatly alter the sound. The INM-E is on my workbench in a circuit board holder.

This video was recorded while I was still trying to figure out the best recording settings in OBS and the motion is a bit choppy, but the sound is in sync and accurate.

"Greetings,
At long last, the backlog is nearly cleared out. All that remains are the desktop Quad Plague Bearers. I have enough housings for 10 more and am in production right now, so get ‘em while the lead time is short! These are r3.2 Plague Bearers with VC gain, and also have an inverter section for the Gain CV input for “normal” CV response. USD$350.00 each + $9.50 S&H. The page has been updated as well: http://www.flightofharmony.com/Plague_Bearer.html.

Other news:
· The Infernal Noise Machine v1.3 is now available full-time - http://www.flightofharmony.com/INM.html

· Plague Bearer t-shirts are now available! http://www.flightofharmony.com/pbtshirt.html

· Current group buys:
o Joysticks – We have not yet met the minimum quantity, but the sign-up list will be kept going until we do. Details can be found in the Muffwiggler forum thread.

o Jacks – COLLECTION TIME. Please send in your payment, details are in the Muffwiggler forum thread. This week is the last chance to join in on this buy.

Greetings!

A bit late, oh well. I’ve been busy clearing out the order backlog and am almost finished (hooray!). Currently building the last of the Infernal Noise Machine preorders, and hope to be finished this week/early next week.

· I still have a few sets of INM PCBs remaining if anyone is interested. USD$666.00 + S&H.
Lead time 8-12 weeks, as I still have to finish the Quad Plague Bearers and get going on a few other things.

· Two group buys currently in the sign-up stage:

o Joysticks – It’s time again! This time, however, the purchase is of brand new joysticks from the manufacturer – not NOS (New Old Stock) units from a liquidator. Details can be found in the Muffwiggler forum thread.

o Jacks – I finally found them! I have been searching for 3.5mm mono NC-switched vertical PCB mount jacks with M6x0.5 threaded bushing since I started f(h), and finally found some with a panel-PCB height less than 15mm. They are only slightly larger in dimension to the ubiquitous Kobiconn 16PJ13x. I know that many others have also wanted this style and I am so stoked on finding these that I’m organizing a group buy at cost – USD$0.075 each (7.5¢). Details in the Muffwiggler forum thread. The MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) has already been met.

That’s enough for now, toodles.

"Greetings!

It has been rather hectic lately, but the storm has nearly passed, so it’s time for some updates:

· Frac format Choices joystick modules are in stock at Analogue Haven. I haven’t had time to update the Choices page, but they are available. The Choices euro format is available through Analogue Haven and Schneiders Buero.

· Plague Bearer r3.2 with VC Gain is available at AH and SB in euro format.

· The Infernal Noise Machine is almost ready for production! Some sound clips taken during testing are here. PCBs will be ordered this week.
I have to pause here to thank those that purchased the first run. You all have been patient, understanding and kind way beyond what would be reasonable to expect, and I am very honored to have such exceptional clients as you. I hope you find that these are worth the wait!

· Production of the standalone Rev3.2 Quad Plague Bearer begins as soon as the I.N.M. are completed. Information on the original quad unit is available here. This run will have the fully-updated r3.2 PB circuitry, and the jack panel has been redone to accommodate the Gain CV input jacks. I found a batch of housings and was originally planning to use them for something else, but enough requests came in shortly thereafter to justify another run. There are a few housings that are not yet spoken for, so contact me if you are interested. They are USD$350 each + S&H (depends on location).

OK, back to work.

"There’s been so much going on that a mid-month letter sounded good:

We now have a forum! Graciously supplied by His Wiggliness, Muff Wiggler, scroll down to “Hosted Forums”. There are several discussions regarding the Plague Bearer, with users’ pictures and samples (much better than mine). You have to be registered to hear the samples, but it is worth it. There are also threads for suggestions of new modules and Barebones Packs, format discussions, and announcements of upcoming stuff.

The discounted first run of the PB-1E & PB-2E are almost gone, only a couple of each left.

There are a few hand-made Frac format PB modules left – single- and double-width. Make sure you check out the thread about them in the forum.

The Imp Eurorack module nears completion, comments are greatly appreciated (forum again).

A limited run of the Infernal Noise Machine is now for sale. Five units are available at $666.00 each. http://www.flightofharmony.com/INM.html and in the forum.

"I’m quite busy filling the current orders, but here’s a quick update:

· After this run, the current Plague Bearer form factor will be discontinued – these housings are just too labor-intensive. There are only two v1.1 Plague Bearers remaining at the time of this writing and they are the last of this style.

· If there is enough demand, populated main boards for the Plague Bearer, Imp, and the Infernal Noise Machine will be made available. Main boards do not include PSU or I/O jacks. Email me if you are interested, I’ll have some populated board pics up soon.

Upcoming:
· Modular versions of the Plague Bearer, Parasite, and the Infernal Noise Machine.
· The standalone version of the I.N.M and the Imp will be available in a couple weeks"

"Now that the madness of developing the Parasite is over, we can tell you about some new developments and upcoming offerings.

· Some of our behind-the-scenes business deals were finalized yesterday, enabling us to receive much better volume pricing on many components and services. Now we get to pass the savings on to you as well! For starters, the price of the Parasite is now just $185.00.

· A stash of the enclosures used to build both the Parasite and the Plague Bearer has been discovered! We are happy to announce a run of twenty v1.1 Plague Bearers, at $240 each. Version 1.1 has a few changes, mostly internal – PCB layout tweaks and Power Supply changes. The patch panel will be all 3.5mm jacks as well. The Parasite v1.0 run has been extended to 50.

Upcoming:
· Modular versions of the Plague Bearer, Parasite, and the Infernal Noise Machine are in development.

· The standalone version of the I.N.M and the Imp should be available soon, with custom wood enclosures, which leads us to:

· We have expanded our crony resource list to include a custom cabinetry manufacturer, and will be offering custom wood enclosures soon.

· And a few more things to be revealed in the future…
