"Includes ribbon cable and mounting screws. Nice condition showing just normal wear and typical rack rash. Works perfect. If you are into noisy experimental stuff, this is your module. You can even run audio into it. This thing is really bizarre, hard to understand / control, and full of surprises and happy accidents. Very cool. Black panel version. Getting really hard to find these now."

"The M666 truely is a devilish module. It´s a synthesizer voice with twin VCOs but it´s a very experimental and brutal one. It makes a lots of noise and distortion. External audio signals can be fed thru and destroyed by the module as well.

The plug and perform simplicity of our stand-alone Triple Six synth has been carefully distilled into Eurorack format. We designed a single module as powerful as an expensive array of traditional VCO/VCF/VCA modules patched together. While no compromise to the true spirit of the original circuit was afforded we worked especially hard to make this one of the most compatible Eurorack instruments available with a generous array of 9 distinct control voltage inputs:

2 for Twin Oscillators Freq.
1 for Threshold (Osc. Gate/Selection/Etc.)
4 for Twin Amplifiers (FX/2nd Osc.)
1 for Signal Shape parameter (filter)
1 for Output Drive parameter
Two VCOs are accompanied by a dual high gain amplifier and some VCAs inside, as well as a filter and a ring modulator. Soundwise the M666 is somewhere in between a detuned radio, a fierce distortion and a noise generator.

Features

Two Oscillators
Dual High Gain Amplifier
VCAs
Filter
Ring Modulator
3 LED Indicators
9 knobs and 5 switches
Audio input (modulation/filter/etc)"

"Little brother of the double-wide 277 the 177 does in mono what big brother does in stereo. The unique design of the M-series 177 delivers not one but two stages of high-gain (& high voltage) vacuum tube signal path without sonic compromise. Harmonics & Bass-Heavy Compression unique to valve topology are delivered with an economy of “hp” real estate (7.5hp!), meager power supply requirements & cost while maintaining Euro Format CV compatibility.

Yes, “high voltage”—no small task for a euro module. Reason being: even the best euro format power supplies were never intended for providing “B+” (arcane engineer speak denoting High Voltage feed for vacuum tubes). Rather than compromise both the operating specs of the tube & capacity of your modular’s power supply the M Series 277 includes a wall-wart to deliver both High Current & High Voltage to the valves without taxing your rack’s supply. Low voltage / low current circuits patch via included ribbon cable & use only a modest amount of power (see specs for details). 177 provides front & rear jacks for the included supply to facilitate access from outside OR inside your rack (cuts down on added wires getting tangled with patch-cords on the frontside).

Use at the end of a patch: Rich tube harmonics & brawny compressed low-end add warmth to your cold digital effects / signals while reinforcing plastic sounding low voltage analog sound.

Use as overdrive effect: Overdrive effects via CV Drive input is a cinch. Use as external input preamplifier: Gain afforded by the 277 is more than adequate to make even the tiny signal of a guitar or microphone patched straight to the input scream. As a modular synth is more than 1000 times louder you may well wonder what happens when such signal is fed through the 177 with controls all set to “eleven”: brutal distortion!

Features

Warm High Voltage Two-Stage Tube VCA
CV Amplitude Input with Attenuator Knob
CV Drive Input with Attenuator Knob
Ample gain for use as External Input Preamplifier
Zero to +5 volt CV-Range compatible w/most LFOs, Envelopes etc.
Compression with Low-End Enhancement
Warms cold digital effects & low-voltage solid-state signals
Included High-Current Power Supply = low impact on your rack’s “built-in” supply
2 CV Lamps: 1 Blue (Amplitude) / 1 Red (Drive)
Slovakian Max. Gain, Twin-Triode Vacuum Tube run at high-voltage

"Trogotronic M-Series 277 offers a high-gain Vacuum Tube Stereo VCA without sonic compromise. Tube Harmonics, Bass-Heavy Compression & Stereo Imaging are applied with 2 Discrete High-Voltage VCA Circuits.

Yes: “high voltage”—no small task for a euro module. Reason being: even the best euro format power supplies were never intended for providing “B+” (engineer speak denoting High Voltage feed for vacuum tubes). Rather than compromise both the operating specs of the tubes & capacity of your modular’s power supply the M Series 277 includes a wall-wart to deliver both High Current & High Voltage to the valves without taxing your rack’s supply.

Use at the end of a patch: Rich tube harmonics & brawny compressed low-end add warmth to your cold digital effects / signals while reinforcing plastic sounding low voltage analog sound.

Use to portray mono signals as vast stereo audio panoramas: The 2 discrete channels run in parallel add depth to mono signals (patched to both inputs) with organic stereo imaging built into the circuit. The same mono signal can be dynamically panned via CV Amplitude inputs.

Use as a stereo overdrive effect: The Drive CV is discrete (1 for each channel independent of the other) so creation of dynamically panning stereo overdrive effects via CV Drive is a cinch.

Use as external input stereo preamplifier: Gain afforded by the 277 is more than adequate to make even the tiny signal of a guitar or microphone patched straight to the input scream. As a modular synth is more than 1000 times louder you may well wonder what happens when such signal is fed through the 277 with controls all set to “eleven”: brutal distortion!

"A compact valve synth capable of the spectacular analog displays that make high voltage tubes essential for any serious electronic music aficionado.

In rare moments of clarity we’ve long glimpsed a brutish dream burning in the solder smoke: A compact valve synth’ capable of the specular analog displays that make high voltage tubes essential for any serious electronic music aficionado. Now the low hanging fruits of our labors are within reach & truly rotten to the core

Yes: “high voltage”—no small task for a euro module. Reason being: even the best euro format power supplies were never intended for providing “B+” (arcane engineer speak denoting High Voltage feed for vacuum tubes). Rather than compromise both the operating specs of the tube & capacity of your modular’s power supply the M Series 676 ships with it’s own. Simply plug in the included wall-wart, give the tube a few seconds to warm up & voila! Tangled in wires already? We get it, and in addition to the power jack on the face there’s another power tap hidden on the rear of the module should you want to get crafty to keep things clean. The advantage is twofold: no capacity is taken from your existing supply and the vacuum tube employed is a common model in current production (so there is no worry should it require replacement after many years of faithful service).

Like any Trogotronic worth its salt the 676 Fury’s functions are not conservative… Meaning, while there are two Main Oscillators, other parts of the circuit can command more complicated frequencies in an intuitive manner. Similarly the Main Oscillators themselves may be applied as filters serving to broaden the utility of the instrument even more so. With regard to BOTH mayhem AND stability 676 Fury’s switch settings offer different parameter reactions: Toggles “down” Oscillators & Track navigate pitch black F-5 electron turbulence; Switched UP same controls “play nice” in crimson livery with accordance to classical form.

Features

2 Main-Oscillators
2 Amplifiers
2 Unique Filter/FX parameters (Drive & Modulation)

5 Modular compatible CV inputs for patchable parameter control
1 Master Frequency Control of Oscillators: Track

Stereo Drum and Bass patch Grendel Formant Filter/ Trogotronic 277M

Stereo Drum and Bass patch Grendel Formant Filter/ Trogotronic 277M from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"This is something I wanted to try since I got the Grendel formant filters in stock, a full stereo patch in the drum and bass style.

I set up an ES4 to play the bassline, there is a sequence clocked from my Syncgen LSII in time with the loops coming from Ableton live.

Basically its set up so an E340 cloud generator in 8 Osc mode gets split into the two Grendels, setting different for the left and right channels, these outputs were then mixed via two Manhattan Mixers with a Z3000 MK2 doing the fat sine sub octave and the Triangle from that is going to a Happy nerding super sawtor just to add a bit more "grit" to the sound.

The outputs from the two mixers go into the left and right channels of a Trogotronic 277M which is the VCA for the output of this patch, it adds some great crushing distortion and with a bit of different settings of the drive, a bit more stereo separation and grit.

overall this was a super fun little high energy patch, a synergy between the loops and the machines.

I hope you enjoy :)"

Trogotronic 676 & Makenoize Rene - range of sounds.

Published on Nov 22, 2012 by DJjondent
"This is a reply to a number of requests regarding the sound of the Trog 676 valve oscillator.
Just tweaking its VCO to demo its audio range.

The Rene touch sequencer outputs two CVs (x & y axis).

Named after the French philosopher & mathematician René Descartes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHihkRwisbE

The lovely thing about it (apart from the touch aspect) is that it doesn't run in a straight line.
It uses a Cartesian coordinate system:
http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/Glossary?a=M&t=Cartesian+coordinate+system
I'm using just 2 clocks here,but it can take 4 clocks & 2 CVs.

Great for composing complex musical patterns."
