Filter & EQ dirty dan / 3-channel vactrol-based analog filter and distortion / 10 HP ⇣ Meet Dirty Dan, the eurorack rebel who doesn't play by the rules of clean and tidy. Dan's all about embracing the mess, dishing out gritty goodness, and making those pristine waveforms second-guess their existence. If your sound needs a touch of snotty charm, Dan's your man. Just remember, he's not just dirty – he's delightfully disruptive! DIRTY_BACK.jpg 1/3 key features Vactrol-Based Analog Filter Three Channels Separate Distortion Stage High Pass and Low Pass Cutoff controls High Pass and Low Pass Two Clipping Modes Feedback Control Skiff Friendly Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 10 HP depth: 32 mm power: 58 mA @ +12V / 54 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The module has three input jacks. The first two inputs are directly connected to the vactrol filter. The third input first goes through an additional diode-distortion circuitry and is then connected to the vactrol filter. Each input jack has a dedicated volume control potentiometer. Hence you may use Dirty Dan also as a Dirty Mixer. The amount of distortion for channel IN 3 can be set with the DIST potentiometer. Additionally soft and hard clipping may be activated with the switches DIST SOFT and DIST HARD. It´s best to use a sine wave to hear the differences between the clipping modes. The distorted signal can be taken from the DIST OUT jack separately and is then being disconnected from the vactrol filer and the other two inputs respectively the OUT jack. This allows you to process the distorted audio with external modules. The filter itself is vactrol-based and has it´s own nature. The sound varies depending on the vactrols being used. It´s fine to solder retail vactrols like the VTL5C series, but the fun starts when DIY vactrols are being used. The sound from the inputs will go through a high pass filter, that can be set with the HIGH PASS potentiometer. Also a low-pass filter will take effect. This can be controlled with the CUTOFF pot. This pot is not called low-pass as you might expect, because the HIGH PASS settings directly influence the CUTOFF pot. If the HIGH PASS knob is fully counter-clockwise, CUTOFF acts as a classic low-pass filter knob. If you turn HIGH PASS clockwise the CUTOFF knob will also act as a high-pass filter in some knob settings turning it further than 12 o´clock. This way you can blend between low-pass and high-pass with one knob, the CUTOFF knob. Either low-pass or high-pass may be CV controlled. A third CV input controls both at the same time. The level of control voltage for CV H/L may be varied with the CV H/L attenuator potentiometer. The FDBK potentiometer sets the amount of audio being fed back into the filter circuitry providing a nice resonance to the signal. The range of feedback amount can be set with a trimmer on the back of the PCB. prev Up next

Oscillator hh / analog hi-hat and noise generator / 4 HP ⇣ HH is a very simple, but handy little module that completes any modular drum rack. 1/3 key features Analog Hi-Hat and Noise Generator Internal Decay Envelope Internal VCA CV Control over VCA Offset CV Attenuator Adjustable Noise Colour: Brown, Pink, White Illuminated ST Modular Logo specs & downloads width: 8 HP depth: 28 mm power: 35 mA @ +12V / 25 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual HH is an analog Hi-Hat and Noise generator with an internal VCA and decay envelope. The Module can be triggered by a trigger signal at the TRIG Input. Using the DECAY potentiometer you can open and close the Hi-Hat. The ST Modular logo will flash according to the decay envelope. This may also be voltage controlled with any CV signal at the CV input. The voltage changes the internal VCA offset, but does not affect the decay envelope. The incoming voltage can be attenuated using the dedicated attenuator potentiometer. An LED indicates the current state of the voltage. Additionally you may also change the colour of the noise being generated with the COLOUR pot. Fully counter-clockwise the noise will equal Brown Noise with reduced high frequencies. At noon it will sound like Pink Noise, which is a bit louder at the low-frequency end of the spectrum, and softer at the high end. Almost fully clockwise it will be White Noise, broadly spread across the sound spectrum, sounding like a waterfall. Fully clockwise the noise will be boosted on all frequencies to have a more present noise spectrum. prev Up next

Filter & EQ hans / compact stereo diode-ladder filter and lfo / 6 HP ⇣ HANS is a compact 4-pole low-pass stereo diode-ladder filter with an internal LFO. Inspired by the famous diode ladder filters found in EMS and Roland TB-303 devices, this filter delivers a distinct and unique sonic character. The module also features an internal LFO for dynamic movement of the cutoff frequency. 1/2 key features Diode-Ladder Filter 4-Pole Low-Pass Design Stereo Inputs and Outputs Cutoff CV Control with Attenuator Internal Triangle LFO with Level Control LFO Output Only 6 HP wide Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 6 HP depth: 30 mm power: 35 mA @ +12V / 29 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual Designed for stereo signals, HANS comes equipped with stereo inputs (IN L and R) and stereo outputs (OUT L and R). However, if you want to use a mono signal, connect it to the IN L socket, which is internally normalised to the IN R input. Manual control of the filter cutoff frequency is achieved with the FREQ potentiometer. Additionally, the cutoff can be modulated using the internal LFO and/or external control voltage (CV). Adjust the LEVEL knob to introduce a triangle LFO to the cutoff frequency, cycling from +0V to a maximum of +10V. The RATE knob, indicated by an LED indicator, allows you to set the LFO's speed. It is designed for long cycles and enables very slow movements lasting more than 10 minutes, but does not achieve audio rates. To disengage LFO control, simply reduce the LEVEL knob. Simultaneously, external CV can be patched to the CV input, with the CV attenuator enabling external control of the filter's cutoff frequency. An LED indicates the current voltage level of the external CV. Improve the characteristics of the filter by using the RES potentiometer to apply positive feedback that emphasises higher frequencies. The signal may be distorted at very high resonance settings. Self-resonance is possible, but only at very high frequencies. For further external processing, the internal LFO's triangle waveform is accessible at the LFO output. This feature adds flexibility to your modular setup, enabling creative possibilities beyond the module's primary functions.

Modulation & Random good & evil / chained lfo and random voltage generator / 12 HP ⇣ GOOD & EVIL ingeniously captures both order and chaos within a single voltage generator module. Its versatility extends to controlling numerous parameters in other modules, making it an ideal companion for crafting gradual shifts in ambient soundscapes or venturing into dynamic and evolving patch creations. 1/3 key features Four Chained LFOs Controllable Time Attenuator per LFO Output Four Random Voltages Adjustable Amount of Random and Chaos EVIL CV Input Random Gate Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 12 HP depth: 28 mm power: 75 mA @ +12V / 55 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The GOOD side consists of a chain of four LFOs. Each LFOs only starts to rise when its predecessor descends. The four knobs control the time it takes for each LFO to rise and simultaneously controls the time it takes for the predecessor to descend. The LFOs have individual outputs with an attenuator. This row of low frequency oscillators can either create very slow envelopes followed by fast changes, just very slow voltage changes or a chain of fast swinging LFOs with their voltage never being the same on the four outputs at a time. The EVIL side generates random voltages that can be influenced by the knobs EVIL 1 and EVIL 2. These change the amount and amplitude of chaos being created. The voltages may move very slow, but also evolve to a burst of changing voltages over the course time. Just like on the good side there are also four outputs on the evil side. Additionally there is a GATE output that provides random gates in conjunction with the EVIL voltages. The EVIL CV input gives voltage control over the amplitude of chaos. An attenuator may lower the amount of voltage being inserted to the EVIL side. The last LFO of the GOOD side is normalised to the CV input of the EVIL side, if no patch cable is inserted into EVIL CV. The voltage range is between +/-3V for GOOD and +/-10V for EVIL. The EVIL outputs usually wobble and meander around +/-2V, but also show peaks of +/-5V, and +/-10V (expecially output V). Using the EVIL CV input forces the circuit to generate peaks more frequently. The gate has a voltage of approx. +6V. prev Up next

Modulation & Random lfor / digital lfo and stepped random generator / 4 HP ⇣ Combining a digital Low Frequency Oscillator with a Stepped Random Generator, this module offers three distinct voltage outputs in the form of Pulse, Triangle, and Random waveforms. The LFO functions as both a voltage and trigger source, while the Stepped Random feature can be seamlessly looped for continuous operation. LFOR_BACK.jpg 1/3 key features LFO with 3 Waveforms Triangle, Pulse and Stepped Random LFO Rate potentiometer Voltage Control over Rate LFO Reset Stepped Random lockable to 16 or 8 steps Random Voltages normalized to LFO Rate Pulse can act as Rythm Generator Wrong polarity protection Skiff friendly specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 28 mm power: 25 mA @ +12V / 20 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The LFO provides three voltages in shape of Pulse, Triangle and Random. It can be used as a voltage and trigger source. The frequency of the LFO can be changed using the Rate potentiometer on top. The LED is indicating the current speed. The Rate of the LFO may be voltage controlled using the Rate CV jack. The small potentiometer acts as an attenuator. Additionally the LFO cycle can be reset via a trigger signal at the Reset jack. The Triangle output provides a standard triangle waveform. Random supplies a randomly stepped voltage at LFO rate. This random voltage is normalized to the LFO CV in creating some interesting random voltages on the other outputs. This connection can be interrupted by inserting a patch cable to Rate CV. Using the Random Lock Switch it is possible to lock the random steps to identical patterns of 16 (mid position) or 8 (down position) steps. If the switch is positioned upwards it is completely random. Patching a voltage to RNDM CV will give you CV control of the Random Lock (switch must be in mid position). Any voltage above 3 volts will produce random steps, any voltage below 4 volts will lock the random out to a pattern of 8 steps. Pulse out is not a typical pulse wave you would expect from an LFO. It is rather a rythmical trigger producing one long pulse at the start of the cycle and a short pulse at the end. This way and by the normalized random voltage (if the CV attenuator is turned clockwise), you will have a wide range of random or locked pulses to trigger VCAs or sequencers. A simple AVR-programmer is neccessary to complete the build. Nevertheless it is a very easy build with only 37 parts in total. prev Up next

Oscillator oberhausen / analog complex oscillator / 42 HP ⇣ OBERHAUSEN is a CEM3340 based Dual Voltage Controlled Analog Oscillator designed to create a wide range of complex waveforms. It wasn't designed to offer the most perfect waveforms, but definitely ones with lots of character and grit. OBERHAUSEN features two principle oscillators and two modulation oscillators. 1/3 key features Analog Complex Oscillator 2x CEM3340 based Principal Oscillator 2x Modulation Oscillator 8x Waveform Output Mix Waveforms with 8 Slide Potentiometers Blend Principal Oscillators to One Main Output Create a Wide Range of Different Waveforms Skiff Friendly Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads Width: 42 HP Depth: 28 mm Power: 110 mA @ +12V / 90 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual Both principal oscillators offer five different waveforms. Each waveform´s level can be adjusted with a dedicated volume slide potentiometer and is available at a separate output jack. The sum of the OSC1 and OSC2 waveforms can be blended either manually with the large potentiometer in the middle of the module or via CV and is available at the main OUT socket. Each sum is also supplied at the OSC1 and OSC2 output jacks separately (after BLEND). OSC1 (Principal Oscillator) NOISE - White Noise with a fixed high pass filter at 320Hz. SUB - Two Sub-octave waves based on the SAWTOOTH waveform. They can be activated individually with the SUB -1 and SUB-2 switches. PULSE - PULSE waveform with adjustable PULSE-WIDTH via PW knob or CV with a dedicated attenuator PWM CV. TRI/SAW - Either a TRIANGLE or SAWTOOTH waveform according to the TRI/SAW switch. TONE - Accentuates either low or high frequencies of all OSC1 waveforms. FM - FM input for either EXPONENTIAL or LINEAR FM, adjustable via FM switch (mid position is off). V/OCT - 1V per octave input and a precision duplicate output of the incoming CV signal for further external processing. FRONT PANEL CALIBRATION & GAIN - A trimmer potentiometer for V/OCT tuning and OSC GAIN is located on the front side of the module. OSC2 (Principal Oscillator) TRI/SAW - Either a TRIANGLE or SAWTOOTH waveform according to the TRI/SAW switch. PULSE - PULSE waveform with adjustable PULSE-WIDTH via PW knob or CV with a dedicated attenuator PWM CV. OSC1´s PWM CV input is normalized to the OSC2 pulse-width modulation input. TIMBRE - Buchla inspired timbre generator. The timbre setting can be changed with the TIMBRE knob or via the CV input with an attenuator. SINE - Pure and analog SINE wave. FM - Either EXPONENTIAL or LINEAR FM, adjustable via FM switch (mid position is off). Can be generated internally or via external CV. FM VCA - The FM input´s amplification can be controlled via an internal VCA. As soon as a jack is plugged into the FM VCA input jack FM modulation will only be applied in accordance to an incoming CV signal (such as an LFO or Envelope Generator). OSC SYNC - OSC2 can be loosely or tightly synced to OSC1. OVERLOAD - Feedback Distortion with Clipping LED for all OSC2 waveforms. V/OCT - Separate 1V per octave input. OSC1´s 1V/OCT signal is multiplied via a precision buffer and normalized to OSC2´s 1V/OCT input, if no jack is present at the OSC2 V/OCT input. This routing can also be deactivated with the V/OCT INV switch. Additionally the normalized V/OCT signal can be inverted and routed to OSC2, if the V/OCT INV switch is in the down position. FM OSC (Modulation Oscillator) FM OSC only modulates OSC2´s frequency. The RATE can be set with the FM RATE knob. The oscillator´s waveform can be changed from TRIANGLE to OFF to SQUARE WAVE with the FM switch. The amount of modulation applied can be adjusted with the FM CV attenuator, if no jack is plugged into the FM input jack. An LED indicates if FM modulation is active taking any FM VCA modulation into account. With the help of the the FM switch the modulation type can be set to either exponential or linear. MOD OSC (Modulation Oscillator) The MOD OSC is a low frequency oscillator that internally controls BLEND CV, OSC2 TIMBRE CV and OSC1 PWM CV (which is normalized to OSC2 PWM CV). Its RATE can be adjusted with the MOD knob and the final depth is set by the destination CV attenuators BLEND CV, PWM CV and TIMBRE CV. The oscillator´s waveform can be changed from TRIANGLE to OFF to SQUARE WAVE with the MOD switch. MIX & BLEND In order to mix both principal oscillators and their waveforms OBERHAUSEN features two 4-channel mixers and a additional blend mixer. With the help eight dedicated slide potentiometers each waveform´s level can be set. Additionally you can blend between OSC1 and OSC2 either manually, via CV at the BLEND input jack or internally with the MOD OSC and BLEND attenuator.

Effects clipping cat / vactrol distortion with diode clipping & lpg / 4 HP ⇣ CLIPPING CAT will make your sounds meow! It's a Vactrol-based distortion that will easily cram a lot of filth and grit into your tone. From sine waves to kick drums, this cat won't miss a scratching post! 1/3 key features Vactrol Distortion Diode Clipping Soft & Hard Clipping „Diode Playground“ for Easy Replacement of Soft Clipping Diodes Vactrol LPG Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 30 mm power: 20 mA @ +12V / 20 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual Based on the passive and very simple WORKMATE CLIPPING CAT, this souped-up 3U module now features three main controls. GAIN determines the amount of distortion applied to your signal. LEVEL decreases the signal level that is fed into the circuit and the CAT/NO CAT switch activates or deactivates the additional diode clipping function. You can choose whether you want hard (CAT) or soft clipping (NO CAT). Depending on the diodes you solder in, the clipping behaviour and sound will change drastically. CLIPPING CAT will only blink and meow if you set the switch to "CAT" and have set a good amount of gain. The amount of gain can also be voltage controlled using the CV GAIN input socket. Each incoming CV signal can be attenuated with the corresponding potentiometer. The overall gain range can be adjusted using a trimmer on the back of the board. This CV functionality also allows CLIPPING CAT to be used as a low-pass gate with the smooth vactrol-based behaviour we all love. Another trimmer allows the circuit to be optimised for LPG or distortion purposes. To simplify the exchange of diodes for soft clipping mode, there is a "diode playground" on the back of the board where you can easily exchange through hole diodes . Feel free to experiment with different types of diodes and discover novel distortion sounds. Purr! prev Up next

Modulation & Random wave / cv generator with four connected triangle lfos / 4 HP ⇣ This LFO, harnessing four interconnected LFOs, offers a powerful tool for dynamically altering CV destinations in rhythmic patterns. Its synchronized modulation brings intricate rhythmic control to your creative endeavors. 1/3 key features 4x LFO Out 4x LFO Rate Rate Switch Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection Illuminated Wave -Logo specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 28 mm power: 34 mA @ +12V / 25 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The rate of each LFO may be adjusted with the dedicated potentiometers. Each LFO signal is supplied on the four outputs on the bottom side of the module. Depending on the potentiometer settings also slopes or square- wave s can be generated. Please refer to the demo video below. The fours LFOs are connected to each other creating an LFO-chain. If the first LFO reaches its highest value, the second LFO starts to rise. And when the first output reaches its lowest voltage, the second channel starts to decrease and so on. Each potentiometer controls the time it takes for the LFO to reach its maximum voltage, which also controls the time it takes to reach 0 volts for its inverted counterpart (1&3 and 2&4). Simultaneously the pots control the time the other two LFOs hold their maximum voltage level. Patching all LFOs into a VCO´s sound shaping functions you can create wave -like sounding effects that will repeat periodically. This module is very good for generating very slow cycles when the RATE switch is set to SLOW. Conversely, it can also generate fast cycles when the switch is set to FAST. The state of each LFO is being indicated by the illuminated letters W A V E on top of the module. Each letter will light up when its dedicated LFO outputs a voltage. prev Up next

Sequencer isi wren / repeatable random gate and cv generator / 4 HP ⇣ ISI WREN is a great sequencer to quickly generate random sequences and lock them on repeat to create catchy and pounding techno synth lines. 1/3 key features Random CV and Gate Looped Sequences Change Sequence Length Adjust Sequence Range Repeat Different Sequences CV Loop ON/OFF CV Length, Range and Repeat Sync to external Clock Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 30 mm power: 35 mA @ +12V / 12 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual ISI WREN is a digital sequencer that generates random gate and CV signals synchronized to a clock connected to the CLK input. Depending on the CHANCE slider potentiometer, it either generates random gate and CV signals in the center position or locks the sequence in the upper or lower position. The closer the knob is to the center position, the more frequently the signals change. When a gate signal is patched to the RPT input, the sequence is repeated regardless of the slider position. If you repeat a sequence in the upper position of the slider, two different sequences are repeated alternately. In the lower position, only one sequence is repeated. With the MODE potentiometer you can set the length of the repeated sequence, the CV range and the repetition of the sequences. Set the mode toggle switch to STP and adjust the sequence length from 4 to 16 steps. Switch to RNG and adjust the CV range (octave range). In RPT mode, you can adjust how many times an alternating sequence repeats when the CHANCE slider is in the up position. Mode settings can also be voltage controlled. Patch a CV signal to MODE and adjust its level with the attenuator in order to change the length of a sequence, its range and the repeat mode externally. If no cable is patched to MODE the attenuator acts as a response adjustment of the MODE knob (e.g. smaller range of steps with one turn of the MODE knob if the attenuator is turned to the left). Use the GATE output to control an external envelope generator and connect the CV output to the 1V/OCT input of any oscillator. prev Up next

Modulation & Random tricay / tripple decay / 6 HP ⇣ Seamlessly trigger three versatile Decay Envelopes by patching a single trigger. 1/3 key features 3x Decay Trigger Multiplier LED indication Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 6 HP depth: 28 mm power: 38 mA @ +12V / 15 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual When you connect a trigger signal to TRIG 1, it's distributed to all three Decay Envelopes. This connection is disrupted when another cable is plugged into TRIG 2 or TRIG 3, allowing for independent triggering of the envelopes if desired. Adjust the decay length using the three potentiometers, spanning from quick and snappy to prolonged and release-like. This versatility suits a variety of sounds, including synth lines and percussions. The status of each Decay Envelope is conveniently displayed through an LED indicator. Voltage is generated and accessible via OUT 1, OUT 2, and OUT 3 jacks, providing options for modulation and sound generation in your setup. Furthermore, by inputting a trigger signal into TRIG 1 and configuring all decay settings fully counter-clockwise, Tricay can function as a Trigger Multiplier, expanding its utility and creative potential. prev Up next

Mixer & VCA send / aux send & return / 8 HP ⇣ SEND serves as an excellent performance tool, enabling direct interaction with external effects affecting your sounds. 1/3 key features 2x AUX Send & Return 2x Tone Control Input Level Attenuator LED Indication Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 8 HP depth: 35 mm power: 25 mA @ +12V / 15 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual SEND is a send and return unit you may know from ordinary mixers. It has a mono INPUT with a LEVEL attenuator and any signal fed in is sent directly to the stereo outputs OUT L and OUT R. If you turn SEND A to the right, you can adjust the portion of the signal that is sent to the SEND A output.This can then be fed into an external effect and returned in mono or stereo to the upper RETURN (L) and RETURN (R) inputs. The TONE potentiometer accentuates either low (turn to the left) or high frequencies (turn to the right) of the signal routed to the send output. Leave it in the centre position so that the frequencies are not affected. The same applies to SEND B, the lower inputs RETURN (L) and RETURN (R) and the corresponding potentiometers SEND B and TONE. Both send s can be used simultaneously. Two LEDs indicate if a signal is sent to the send output. Gain trimmers are located on the front panel to adjust the gain of the send signal. prev Up next
