Trogotronic m/277 Dual Tube VCA Tutorial Videos by Learning Modular

Published on Jun 15, 2018 Learning Modular

"This set of five movies covers the Trogotronic m/277 Stereo High-Voltage Tube VCA / Overdrive / Preamp module. Even if you don't have this specific module, the series covers a lot of useful information on managing signal levels to get different sounds out of a module, stereo and faux stereo processing, and the differences between putting the VCA before or after the VCA.

The first movie is an overview & demo of the module. The remaining movies cover using it as an output overdrive processor, using it as a stereo-izer (panning etc.), how it behaves as a VCA in the “normal” position after the filter, and how that behavior changes if you place it before the VCF.

These movies are also part of my Eurorack Expansion course on LearningModular.com:

Live Drone Simulation With Drums

Published on Mar 12, 2018 NoizeHack

"Drone with a Moog MF-101 Filter as oscillator ring modulated by MF-102 and MF-104M Delay. Jekyll & Hyde Filter with MBase 11 Kick through the Jekyll and Trogotronic noise box and Mother 32 Snares through the Hyde. Mixed with a CP-251 and smashed with an Overstayer FET compressor for no dynamic range. Sequenced with two SQ-1s. Lots of high frequency grating sounds layered on top of low frequency droning."

All tubes by Weinglas

"'All Tubes' is the latest release from European noisemaker Weinglas. All tracks from this strange ride into darkness were created with the help of modular synthesizers and sound machines made with tubes. Thanks to Brian from Zerosum Inertia, Eric from Metasonix and W.T. from Trogotronic, who designed and produced these strange machines, Weinglas could turn the warmth and rawness of these old fashioned elements into never-before-heard walls of noise, sounding modern and vintage at the same time."

The following is a video for Tubemaster 2, the 10th track on the release on Vicmod Records.

"Not my mother 32 that I am using for the bass line and making sound even dirtier by running thorough trogotronic tubes. volca beats through big muff pi and trogo tubes and some spring reverb and delay and plague bearer filter."

Published on Dec 29, 2015 Nicolas Lévy

"Adding a Trogotronic Iron Cross joystick to the system. The vertical axis controls the length of the 247v sequencer gate outputs, and the horizontal controls the delay feedback and the 259r timbre.
The Easel sequencer coupled with the 259r create the rythmic pattern."

New Trogotronic m/669 Euro Module

Published on Aug 24, 2015 trogotronic

"Informational video and brief demonstration of the Trogotronic m/669 Euro Module."

Eurorack version of the 669. Details via Trogotronic:

"Analog Audio Artifacts: event-horizons of sonic singularities rendered in hyper-tonal arthropod spectra. Primal purpose for the m/669 Analog Euro-Module. With a presence more sickening than a platter of polonium sushi the m/669 is the most untamed sonic provocateur ever offered. With an eight input CV bank (7 of which are vactrol circuits) the deviant subhumans issue the new m/669 BossHog Module with a prehistoric grunt. Regard the feature list of this commanding analog obscenity with caution:

3 Oscillators
3 Master Oscillator Controls
3 Analog Audio Artifact Generators
1 Volume Control
3 Modulator Patches
4 Light Indicator Array
8 CV Inputs
7 Vactrol Circuits
Audio Signal Input for Unique Side-Chain or Solo FX Duties

From expansive leviathan drones that plumb the depths of heavy water reactors to mind-reading staccato glitch attack the sheer power of the m/669 BossHog Module’s sonic devastation is simply extraordinary. Yes, Virginia, m/669 BossHog Module can BOTH be the backdrop scenic drone AND an all analog rhythm section played in realtime via CV inputs. If the multimillion-dollar flying killbots had ears this would be the guiding beacon they obey."

Martian Devil Chickens - Trogotronic 679m Demo - Mark Steiner

Published on Jul 19, 2014 Mark Steiner

"Nothing is input (CV or sound) into the 679 in this demo.

The 679 sound and CV is routed to an Animodule DD Dual VCA. This causes the 679's wave form to control the panning of it's own sound and really draws a nice sound image across the stereo spectrum.

The reverb is Valhalla Shimmer.

At about 13 minutes in, the sound is also routed through a Doepfer A-125 Voltage Controlled Phase Shifter, whose phase is also CV'd at various levels by the same 679 output.

All live adjustments on the module knobs.

This is a rediculously long demo, and it may be good to just click through here and there to get an idea of some possibilities. I included my whole exploration take here as it's the kind of thing I'd like to hear when considering a module.

Love the 679.

You definitely discover sounds more than design them with this creature.

I love the nice vactrol and tube sound with this module."
