Jellysquasher

Analog coloring compressor module

100% analog signal path and sidechain feedforward compressor
Unique (log based RMS) detector
Output routed through a specially selected Edcor transformer with highly desirable saturation qualities.
Three carefully designed analog circuits to impose specific character on the output signal:
TUBE adds non-linear distortion providing second order harmonics
TAPE adds symmetrical distortion providing both even and odd harmonics
XFRM modifies the transformer feedback circuit, giving a boost to low bass content
All three color circuits can be engaged in any combination to react differently based on the input drive level and makeup gain
Sidechain routed through a voltage controllable SVF filter with LP, BP and HP modes. A trimmer on the PCB allows you to adjust Q. This filter can be used independently of the rest of the module.
External sidechain input allows triggering of the compressor with external sources.
Link IN/OUT allows two Jellysquashers to be chained together for stereo operation.
Full CV control of sidechain cutoff, threshold, ratio, attack time, release time, and makeup gain.
Wet/Dry control allows for “New York” style compression where there is a blend of the dry and compressed output signal.
LED bargraph with selectable display modes to view the signal level in VU or the gain reduction in dB.
Specifications:

Max input: +17dBv
Input impedance: 68k ohms
Output impedance: 100 ohms
Frequency response: 5Hz to 30KHz
Range of gain reduction: over 50dB
Threshold: -40dBv to +17dBv
Ratio: 1.3:1 to infinity
Attack: 200us to 200ms
Release: 50ms to 5sec
Makeup gain: 48dB

TIPTOP ONE: DOTS (prt_2)


TIPTOP ONE: DOTS (prt_2) from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"Demo of the upcoming DOTS - samples collection for the fantastic ONE sample player eurorack module from Tiptop Audio. Created by Konstantin Gervis (zv-k.com / station252.com) specifically for the module. Synthesized using a huge Eurorack modular system, various analog and digital synthesizers and a music easel. The sounds were carefully selected to work particularly well in ONE and to be highly usable for live and studio work.

In this video:

All the sound are coming from 4x ONE sample players with the exception of Maraca808 in the first piece. Sequenced with the Circadian Rhythms. No FX were used in this video.

Erica Synths - MIDI-Clock


Published on May 17, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's a new and super useful module from Erica Synths. Erica Synths are on fire at the minute and the new MIDI to clock or clock to MIDI "MIDI-Clock" is great. It's 6HP and takes clock in and spits MIDI out or takes MIDI clock in and spits analogue/modular clock out. Which ever way you work you get PPQ settings, a divided output and two multiplied outputs. All really quick with switches and a play/pause button too. Nice integration of MIDI clocked gear in both directions."
