North Coast Synthesis - MSK 007 Leapfrog Filter

Published on Jul 30, 2019 SchneidersLaden

"The Leapfrog follows its own path - the filter architecture is very unusual and powerful. The slope steepness is always at least -61dB per octave - hardly any other module is able to take such a hard grip on incoming audio signals."

Funkstill - Filter Threek 13700

Published on Jul 30, 2019 SchneidersLaden

This is the first post to feature the Funkstill brand.

"Filter Threek is a unique multimode VCF. It combines low-pass, high-pass and / or all-pass stages to process sound. The sound character ranges from beefy to nasal. Colorations reminiscent of a Phaser effect are possible as well. The resonance could be described as very muscular. There are six filter combinations available. Thanks to several inputs and outputs, you have a total of twelve operation modes at hand, though. A very important feature of the Filter Threek: You can crossfade between all the filter modes. A flexible CV routing system guarantees very dynamic results."

Vermona - Random Rhythm with Endorphin.es - Blck_Noir

Published on Jul 30, 2019 SchneidersLaden

"Random Rhythm is a random generator that is specialized in producing beat structures. The sliders set the probability, eight channels in two groups of four. Very intuitive and playable rhythm generator - here in use with the Blck_Noir wich provides the drum sounds and effects."

ACL - Sinfonion (all ACL patch)

Published on Jul 30, 2019 SchneidersLaden

"ACL's Sinfonion in one of the simplest applications imaginable - here three oscillators are played in different chords and the audio signal is then processed with the Dual State Variable VCF. ACL's QLFO controls the cutoff and resonance of the dual filter. No effects, only different chords selected by hand."

CG Products - Noise VCA

Published on Jul 30, 2019 SchneidersLaden

"The CG Products - Noise VCA. This little module has a lot to offer, you get a nice multimode filter, VCA and noise source - just add an envelope and a VCO and you have a full synth voice. Here we used the CG Products XR22 VCO and an envelope from Maths. At the end of the audio chain there is a little bit of Erbe-Verb. The modules by Christian Günther are hand assembled here in Berlin."

Niio - Iotine Core 4

Published on Jul 30, 2019 SchneidersLaden

"The Iotine Core 4 is a fully analog, voltage-controllable audio processor with three differently equipped and combinable channels.

Here we show the unit in combination with an Acidlab Drumatix and the Haken ContinuuMini.

Two signal paths are equipped with a smooth sounding multi-mode filter, an extremely flexible saturator and a low-noise VCA. The difference: Each channel offers a unique combination of seven (!!!) saturation and distortion circuits. The third signal path features a multimode filter and a frequency divider / multiplier with distortion capabilities. Furthermore, there is a HAR envelope and an envelope follower. The modulators can not only influence the cutoff of one or more filters, but are also usable to create compressor and expander / gate effects.

Even though the video already shows a lot of action, the Iotine Core 4 can be much more subtle as well as much more brute if you want it to be. Very very versatile!"

Frequensteiner, WMD PDO and Soundmachines Lightstrips

Published on Jul 30, 2019 SchneidersLaden

Mike Brown's creations live on.

"In this short video we show that with just four modules and a small case it is possible to build an unusual percussion/sequencer box that is played via two Soundmachines LS1 Lightstrips. The Phase Displacement Oscillator gives us the possibility to create something like a repeating four step trigger sequence, when tuned down to LFO territory. These four events then ping the filter. In the end of the video there are also some filter-sweeps by the legendary Livewire Frequensteiner! We have added some effects to the main output."

The Metasonix RK6 -12db low pass tube filter

Published on Jul 30, 2019 SchneidersLaden

"The Metasonix RK6 is a low-pass filter based on a tube-design. In this video we show one of the great strengths of this module - adding warmth to digital oscillators. Our sound source in this example is the E-355 - we send the signal alternately directly into the mixer and through the RK6 and then into the mixer. No other effects are used. Why are we doing this? That's what Phil can explain best:

"Often customers ask me how to add some warmth to a digital signal or sample. I never really had an answer ready, because many devices saturate and distort nicely but lack in delivering on precisely this cliché. When it comes down to it, to make it sound warm all the ugly, cold and overexaturated parts of the signal should be eliminated. The beautiful parts should be captured and enhanced. The Metasonix RK6 closes this gap like a hero. Listen to the linked Video below to hear how it forms a round piece of music from of a cold, stiff wavetable sequence. The 2nd part of the video contains pure Metasonix DNA.

Conclusion: It is ugly but closes a crucial gap in your soul."
