"The Cosmotronic Delta-V is a dual Attack/Decay envelope generator/slew with built-in VCAs and a number of other nicely thought-out features including Shape, End of Cycle trigger, looping, output attenuverters, and voltage control of the Attack and Decay times.
This video focuses on the envelope & slew generator portion of the Delta-V:
00:00 overview
00:32 Attack/Decay envelopes
01:10 Shape control
02:11 relationship between A & D shapes
03:16 output attenuverters
03:50 voltage controlled A & D times
04:50 slew generator
07:06 looping envelopes (LFO mode)
07:54 End of Cycle for a complex LFO
10:00 layering envelopes together
11:13 EOC for chaining envelopes together
The second movie demonstrates a number of applications for having a combined envelope generator and VCA, including modulating a filter with enveloped noise, creating percussive voices, enveloped FM depth, and delayed LFOs for tremolo.
FTC Disclosure: Cosmotronic sent me this module at no charge so I could make an application video showing how handy it is to have an EG and VCA in the same module. But I was so excited about the EG side of this module, that I created this additional video showing its those features."

‘Warped Vinyl’ contains 100 sounds for FXpansion Strobe 2
These patches are designed to sound old & worn out. This soundset tries to emulate the sound of classic analog polysynths like the Korg Polysix & Yamaha CS-70 through cheap 90s reverbs and old analog delays pedals and tape machines.
Making full use of Strobe 2’s Transmod system, these sounds are dynamic and expressive with extensive mod wheel and aftertouch assignments for each patch.
‘Warped Vinyl’ features a variety of different presets, including, BoC style synth sounds, CS-80 brass sounds, dusty old pads, noisy space echo fx, drifty tremolo pads, old organ sounds, distorted electric pianos and much more.
A compact and creative tool for dynamics and stereo duties
The Gemini's Path is the 9th module released by Shakmat. This newcomer is a hybrid analog/digital stereo sound processing device which can shapeshift into an expander, compressor, auto panner & much more!
3 modules in 1
The Gemini's Path, despite its small size, is actually a mix of three modules : a pair of VCAs (That Corp branded for low distorsion & low noise) driven by a dual modulation source, that is excited by the trigger detector which extracts triggers from the input signals or an external / side chain input.
What it does
Since the modulation source delivers different types of modulation, the Gemini's Path offers lots of different application possibilities, such as:
• Expander: with decay or hold control
• Pump: compressor like device with adjustable release time (also with a unique release shape)
• Panner: sine panner, random panner or triggered panner
• Granuliser: chops the signal into small bits & spread them in the stereo field
• VCAs: stereo VCAs with volume and panning control.
Or two independent VCAs
Simple and intuitive interface
Our main goal was to create a compact, polyvalent and easy peasy to use module. Besides its capabilities, the module has a minimal user interface and gives instant results in all its applications : choose a mode, set the threshold and have fun with the two big knobs. And of course, bring the Gemini's Path in communication with the rest of your modular thanks to the CV inputs.
Stereo or dual mono
The Gemini's Path allows linked or independant control over two channels and can therefore be used as two mono units (with different modes on each channels). Think dual mono side chain compressor, out of phase tremolos for more stereo weirdness, a trigger that expands the drums and makes the bass pump, dual decay on VCAs for drum synthesis, triggered crossfader when mixing the outputs,…
"Sound demos of some of the presets available in the Modal Electronics Argon8 Factory Patch Banks.
Modal Argon8 is an 8 voice polyphonic wavetable synthesiser. It features 120 crafted wavetables split into 24 banks of 5 morphable waveform sets, 32 oscillators in total (4 per voice) and a huge range of wavetable and oscillator modifiers.
Beyond the oscillators there is a multi-mode filter, 3 envelope generators, 2 audio-rate LFOs, 3 powerful independent and user configurable stereo FX engines, a real-time sequencer, a programmable arpeggiator and an extensive modulation matrix."
"Brilliant controller for the Chroma, a complete set of knobs to control all parameters on the Chroma. Please note that you need to have CC+ upgrade installed on your Chroma for this to work. The controller is only a few months old and in perfect condition."
