"The Telemark provides exactly the same features as the Semblance, but with the addition of modular synth patch points. This in effect turns it into a semi-modular design and means it can be interfaced to other modules and synths very easily.

The Telemark is a sturdily made white metal wedge, populated on the left side of the panel by lots of knobs and a few LEDs. The right side is devoted to a series of 1/8" sockets designed to provide access to core points in the synth's signal path. The back panel has a small socket for the supplied external PSU, MIDI input/thru, as well as 1/4" jack sockets for the main audio output and 2 external audio inputs.

The Telemark is an easy-to-use and fine-sounding synth, which is capable of a wide range of sounds. It uses the patch panel to add another dimension and offers some great options for processing external audio as well as transforming the internal palette. The MIDI spec gives the Telemark the ability to respond to both note on/off and velocity information for VCA and VCF sections. The patch panel allows you to route these elsewhere should you need to and a MIDI controller can be assigned to modulation duties should you wish.

The Telemark is a Oberheim SEM inspired synth like the Anyware Tinysizer, the Semtex XL and the Analogue Solutions Semblance are.

The Telemark-K is similar to original SEM but with Sample and hold, LFO square wave, noise, extra inputs, many more signal modulation options via rotary switches.

"The Dreamboat is a dual chaotic oscillator with 2x CV inputs, a Gate output with adjustable threshold, and two sets of X and Y outputs. There are two oscillator sections to the module, the top half is an audio rate chaotic oscillator and the lower half outputs LFO rate signals. With its five outputs, the Dreamboat allows you to connect to plenty of modules all at once, allowing all kinds of modulation and listening possibilities.When used with an oscilloscope or a scope program in X/Y mode, the Dreamboat allows you to view its chaotic attractors in realtime.

Allowing for unique rhythms through the use of the gate output, a typical setup might see the Dreamboat involved in a few feedback loops while controlling an ADSR and a VCA with its gate output. Hear and view the Dreamboat at the same time by multiplying the output

The Dreamboat is easy to use, just turn the knobs until the Chaos starts, then add modulation, cross-couple the two sections, and bring in a VCO or Noise module. For even more far out sounds, we recommend the use of two or even three Dreamboats for a truly powerful setup. Though the Dreamboat is not an oscillator in a way you might be used to, it will push you into new musical directions.

From subtle to destructive, from scary to absurd, the Dreamboat is a strange bird.

Use the Dreamboat to create everything from strange fogs to banging pots and pans, use it to explore Chaos or simply to have a truly unique module in your setup.

Snazzy FX recommends Gleick's classic book CHAOS for those who want to know a bit more about what is going on behind the scenes in this module.

Features

Pitch knob per oscillator
CV knob per oscillator
Gate input with Threshold knob
2 X & Y outputs
2 CV inputs"

Snazzy FX Chaos Brother Eurorack Module

Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS)

"The Chaos Brother is a new modulation module full of enough options and knobs to keep it interesting no matter where you decide to use it.

It all starts with the Chaos knob, when turned all the way to the left, you get repetitive, tame oscillations like you would find in a basic LFO. Start turning the knob to the right and the Chaos ensues. The speed of the chaos can be adjusted with the speed knob so there is a wide range of variation possible.

With Speed AND Chaos knobs, it is very easy to dial in just the right amount of craziness. At times like an LFO, other times generating wild patterns, jagged waveforms, or even strange bass blasts. Use it to add vibrato to a melody, out of this world sweeps, hiccups, slow swirls, or use the smooth out for more subtle controlled modulation.

With a CV input, you can have the whole cloud of modulation stop and start, melt and reform ON THE BEAT, synced to your sequencer or a sharp LFO.

Things get more interesting when you take advantage of the gate output. This single output allows the performer to create chains of percussion. Drive the Chaos Brother with a gate, and then drive the rest of your system with the Chaos Brothers gate out. Flip the threshold till it's just right, take one of the three outputs (x, y and smooth) and plug them in all over the place.

Modulate your VCO's and your filters, trigger your envelopes, clock your sequencer, and cross-modulate to your hearts content.

Snazzy FX Dronebank Eurorack Module

"The Dronebank was designed with a very specific purpose in mind. Born out of a need to find the space in between tones. To achieve pulsing. Wider droning. Wanting to be able to fit the power of many oscillators into a little package. It isn’t a crazy CV laden feature monster. But it doesn’t need to be. It does what it is asked to do over and over and again.

This has a very different sound than a squarewave based multi-oscillator. The Dronebank breathes and moves. Create chords, gate the tones, filter them, ring modulate. Use it as an FM source, combine it with delay, let it hypnotize you. most importantly, make music with it. Or use it for mind control experiments.

Features

Five low harmonic triangle oscillators
Five pitch knobs
Five outputs and a mix out"

Gotharman Note Randomizer MKII MIDI Timing Randomization

Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS)

"Gotharman’s Note Randomizer MKII is a MIDI effect, that treats incoming MIDI note on and off's. This effect is very useful for creating acoustic-like "strumms" out of chords, for making "sterile" computer timing more alive, or just for creating variations in otherwise repeating patterns.

When it receives note data, it takes a look at the adjustable probability parameter, and the velocity value, if Velo to Prob is other than zero, and randomly decides if it will play that note or not. If it decides to play the note, it will have a look at the adjustable random velocity parameter, and if this is higher than zero, it will randomize the note velocity value with the adjusted amount.

All other MIDI data, than note on and off’s, are passed thru, from MIDI in to MIDI out, without any treatment.

It works on all MIDI channels at the same time, so if you only wants to randomize the notes to one MIDI instrument, you will have to connect the note randomizer’s MIDI output directly to that instruments MIDI input, and connect the note randomizer’s MIDI input, the way you would usually connect the instruments MIDI input (i.e. to the MIDI output of your sequencer, master keyboard, computer, MIDI-thru box, or whatever).

Controls

Probability:
At high settings more notes will be passed thru, from MIDI in to MIDI out, at lower settings less notes will be passed thru. When turned fully up (rightwards) all notes will get thru. Use this setting, if you only wants the velocity or time (or nothing) to be randomized. At 0 very few notes will get thru. Note Randomizer MKII is 128 note polyphonic, and works on all MIDI channels at the same time. If more than 128 note-on’s are received at the same time, the last ones will be ignored.

Velo To Prob:
Adjusts how much the velocity value of incoming MIDI notes will affect the probability. The more you turn this knob up, the more velocity will affect probability. The higher the velocity value, the higher the probability. In order for this function to work, the probability knob must not be fully turned up.

Velo:
Adjusts how much the velocity value of the incoming midi notes will be randomized

Time:
The new parameter on MKII. When turning this up, the MIDI timing will be randomized, by adding a random delay to each note. This is useful for creating acoustic-like ”strumms” out of chords, for making ”sterile” computer timing more alive, or just for plain time randomization of your own work."

"The Noise Toaster is a lo-fi analog noise synth designed by Ray Wilson of Music from Outer Space.

This build includes a modification that allows for external CV control of the VCO as well as an input that passes an audio signal through the VCF.

The case was created with the aid of a laser cutter. The acrylic front panel was etched, creating a mask, and then spray painted.
