New MALEKKO FADE Module

via Malekko Heavy Industry

"Beautiful Aphrodite lusted after more than one; thus FADE was created!

The Malekko Fade is a vactrol audio crossfader with a unique CV-able vactrol level control. The Fade is custom-tuned for a smooth, musical response when used with audio sources.

The crossfade from input one to input two and the vactrol level have manual controls, as well as CV inputs for external control. The vactrol level control adjusts the output level of the Fade, as well as changing the curve of the crossfade. Modulating the crossfade and the vactrol level simultaneously can result in very interesting amplitude modulation sequences! And since the level has a CV input you've got yourself a handy VCA!

Crossfaders have a number of uses in modular systems: waveshaping (crossfading waveforms at audio rate), CV 2>1 mixing, smoothly transitioning between audio sources, controlling feedback paths, etc… Note = The Fade will pass CV (DC) signals, but the output is inverted.

The Fade is 4hp wide, 15mm deep, and consumes approximately 40mA power.

Lyrics:
Buy me something to put under the tree
Buy me something with lots of money
You buy now that's what everyone do
Happy Holidays for me and for you

Buy me something good like jewelry
Buy me something and don't be cheap
You buy now that's what everyone do
Happy Holidays for me and for you

You will buy
Don't ask why
It's what everyone do
If you don't believe in it
You can look it up on YouTube

Stuff my stocking with five golden rings
Stuff my stocking with lots of things
Stuff my stocking with a new Moog
'Tis the season for spiky egg nog

Stuff my stocking with five golden rings
Stuff my stocking with all kinds of things
Stuff my stocking with mistletoe
'Tis the season for a new Moog!"

Crashing through Mirrors - Moog Voyager, Adidas tracksuit and a wall in Berlin

YouTube Uploaded by instantknut on Nov 22, 2011

"This video is about the interaction of a man in a tracksuit with a Moog synthesizer at a wall in Berlin.
The song actually is a metaphoric story about a broken mirror, but there was no mirror available, not even a broken one. But we had a wall, which is even more metaphoric.
My thanks go to cam operator Mr. Berg and head of production Antje."

I am green! Moog Voyager, Monomachine, Polyevolver, Jomox 888

Uploaded by instantknut on Aug 22, 2010

"This is a live mix I did to motivate my synths to play together as a team again. Mhh, and a little gearporn, I admit.
Monomachine acts as sequencer again and adds some beats and the snare noise. The Bass comes from the Moog Voyager. Jomox XBase 888 did the 4 to the floor beats. The Polyevolver synthesizes the noisy drone sound in the background. The MPC is heavily underused and says "computer" some time (a sample from the mono). Access Indigo2 does the rest."

"Perfect for synced modulations, the PEG generates LFOs and envelopes which can be locked to a master clock. Once 'pinged', its variable slopes run at either the base time or are stretched/ shrunk to a divided/ multiplied rate. Here it is in action"
