MATRIXSYNTH

The ultimate introduction to eurorack envelopes

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"Envelopes are a classic and crucial building block in synthesis. However, there are many different options available, all with subtle differences. In this video series I tackle all the things you should know and consider when picking an envelope for your setup. In this first part I cover Triggers & Gates, and Stages & Behaviour. In a video coming soon I will dive deeper into topics like modulating, looping, trigger and gate creation etc. So, stay tuned!"

How to REALLY use your envelopes - All about envelopes - part2

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"Envelopes are crucial building blocks in synthesis, but they can do much more then control the volume of a sound. In this video we’ll have a look at what you can do with CV control over envelope stages. How you can mix, invert, and combine envelopes to create unique shapes. How looping envelopes add a lot of modulation power. And how you can get the most out of envelopes that generate gates and or triggers. Enjoy!

Full disclosure: The 3 envelopes used in this video are supplied by Erica Synths. A lot of fun videos on interesting topics (like this one) wouldn't financially be possible otherwise. Huge thanks!"

Macbeth X-Series Dual Oscillator Eurorack Module SN AH0002

via this auction

"Massive. Beautiful. A truly robust analog oscillator with an incredible feature set. It sounds as high end as a VCO can sound. Will be missed.

Minor cosmetic flaws such as a rounded corner, slight screw marks (knurlies weren't in existence when I bought it) and a couple tiny marks on the top edge which don't show when racked (Macbeth modules fit VERY snug and solid.) Everything is in the pictures.

Functionally perfect. Will probably be ready for a slight tracking calibration/adjustment after shipping. It has been properly racked in a case for its entire life, and moved within that case only twice."

00:00 | Intro
00:33 | Connecting twinVCFilter
01:08 | lowpass, 12 dB/octave
01:43 | bandpass, 6 dB/octave
02:03 | highpass, 12 dB/octave
02:13 | switching to serial mode/lowpass, 24 dB/octave

Touell Skouarn - Sil Kontrollet LowPass Filter

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"Here are some impressions of the Touell Skouarn Sil Kontrollet LowPass Filter. This is the desktop version, the voltage controlled filter is also available for eurorack modular synthesizers. The filter is great for creating some serious and aggressive sounds. The desktop version is small and light and therefor perfect to add to any instrument that needs some more umpf."

"The Touellskouarn Sil Kontrollet is a powerful 12dB lowpass filter in desktop format.

Input and output, plus two controls for cutoff and resonance as well as a CV input for the filter cutoff frequency make you ready to rock with this little beauty that is definitely no table horn (we guarantee!). Aggressive smacking characterizes this desktop-unit, which produces a sine wave with V/oct tracking capability in the state of self-oscillation and follows its well-known sonic role model with a healthy dose of harshness. The module is powered via its 2.1mm negative jack, which is compatible with standard Ibanez and Boss power supplies."

Features:

12dB lowpass filter in OTA design
Large knobs for cutoff and resonance
Input/output
CV control for cutoff
Nichicon/Panasonic caps
Alpha-Potis
Compatible with standard Boss and Ibanez power supplies (not included)

TRANSPHAZED / another phase mod jam with Schlappi's THREE BODY featuring the Joranalogue system

video upload by BRiES

"There's chords hiding in THREE BODY. Having exact ratios makes for such a rewarding fm/pm experience. I do love a distorted dirty fm tone like the ones you get from analog oscillators like Generate 3, but it's nice to be able to make cleaner fm/pm sounds.

In this clip I used self-patched phase modulation with modulators modulating the indices to create dynamically changing (dare I say modulated) timbres."
