rocinante´s gate / simulated low-pass gate with lfo and envelope generator / 10 HP ⇣ Rocinante´s Gate is not a classical low-pass gate (LPG) using vactrols, but goes way beyond that providing an adjustable envelope to control the "gate" through an analog filter. Sending a gate or trigger signal into the GATE INPUT will create these envelope shaped sounds you know from other LPGs. 1/3 key features Low-Pass-Gate based on an Analog Filter Internal Envelope Generator Adjustable Rise, Decay, Length, Fall Stages Internal LFO Gate Level CV Loop Mode Re-Trigger Mode Use the Envelope and LFO with External Modules Skiff Friendly Wrong Polarity Protection ​ specs & downloads width: 10 HP depth: 28 mm power: 54 mA @ +12V / 26 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The LOWPASS knob adjusts the range of frequencies being affected by the gate. If you turn it fully counter clockwise the whole frequency spectrum will be gated. Turning it clockwise will slowly add low frequencies to the gated singal until the whole spectrum is not affected anymore. ENV AMT sets the amount of how much the internal envelope affects the low-pass gate. RISE sets the time how long it will take the sound to go from silent to the loudest level. Just like the time it takes an LED inside of a vactrol to start lighting to its full potential. DECAY controls how long it takes to go from an initial peak to the "gate-phase" level. The length of this phase is varied by the LENGTH potentiometer. Finally FALL changes the time your sound will need to return to silence after the "gate-phase". Just like the time it takes an LED inside of a vactrol to shut down. RESONANCE sets the amount of filtered audio being fed back into the filter input. It can´t go into self-oscillation, but is able to create very crunchy and juicy overtones when turning clockwise. The internal Trigger Generator is being controlled with TRIG RATE and the RE-TRIG/LOOP SWITCH. Adjust the rate of the trigger and apply the singal to either a re-trigger circuitry that repeats the "gate-phase" as long as a gate signal is being applied or to a loop functionality that will create cycles of gates without an external gate or trigger. The ENV/INV SWITCH enables you to alternatively route an inverted envelope to the low-pass filter. This way you may create "ducking" or "side-chained" sounds. ​ An internal triangle LFO can be routed via the LVL ATT attenuator to vary the amount of envelope that is being passed to the gate. The LFO will be deactivated if you turn the LVL ATT attenuator fully counter-clockwise or if you use an external signal to control the envelope amount by patching a CV signal into LVL CV. ​ In addition to the Audio IN and OUT jacks you may take the signals of the internal envelope and LFO from the ENV OUT and LFO OUT to control external devices. In combination with the loop function Rocinante´s Gate is not only a Low-Pass-Gate, but also an LFO and ADSR Generator. prev Up next

klangmaschine / dual digital fm synthesizer / 16 HP ⇣ KLANGMASCHINE is a powerful tool for creating a wide range of sounds, from simple sine waves to complex and evolving textures. It combines two simple frequency modulated synthesizers to create a very powerful and versatile digital sound source. 1/3 key features 2 Voice FM Synthesizer plus Noise Generator CV over all FM Parameters Tone Control Internal VCA Internal Mixer Individual Outputs Wrong Polarity Protection ​ specs & downloads width: 16 HP depth: 28 mm power: 98 mA @ +12V / 56 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual FREQUENCY MODULATION (FM) SYNTHESIS is a method of sound synthesis that uses the modulation of the frequency of one waveform by another waveform to create complex and evolving timbres. FM synthesis uses a modulator waveform to modulate the frequency of a carrier waveform. The frequency of the modulator is usually in the audio range, while the frequency of the carrier determines the pitch of the resulting sound. On both sides of the module are the parameter controls for the FM voices. The sliding potentiometers control FM AMT, FM FREQUENCY and PITCH. Each parameter can be voltage controlled. Attenuators control the amount of incoming CV. If nothing is connected to the CV inputs, the above CV attenuators change the response curve of the parameter sliders. Above the sliders is a TONE control, which lets you emphasize either low or high harmonics, and a VOLUME control, which affects only the MIX OUT. Connect your pitch CV to the V/OCT to play notes. The left V/OCT input is normalized to the right. In addition to the two synthesizer voices, there is a volume control to add white noise to the MIX OUT. You can either listen to the oscillators individually at the OUT jacks, or tap a mix of all three sound sources at the MIX OUT. If you connect an envelope CV to the VCA CV input, you can control an internal VCA. If no envelope CV is connected to the VCA CV input, the LED lights dimly to indicate that all three voices are being output at the MIX OUT. As the level rises, the LED indicates the volume level. If a patch cord is connected to VCA CV without CV, the LED is off to indicate that no signal is being output. If the VCA is opened via CV, the LED again shows the volume level. In the "Just a Minute - Live Techno" videos shown above I use KLANGMASCHINE for the lead sound. Have a listen!

The latest iteration, V2, features enhancements in its Tone response and has undergone a reduction in horizontal pitch from 8HP to 4HP for increased space efficiency. 1/3 key features Voltag Controlled Amplifier Volume Control CV Attenuator Built in EQ Original signal is routed to THRU out Wrong polarity protection Skiff friendly ​ specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 25 mm power: 30 mA @ +12V / 12 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual If you insert an audio source into the jacks IN it will be directly routed to the THRU jack where you may use you original signal for further processing. The signal is also directly routed to the VCA. Here you can control the volume or amplitude of the audio either manually or via control voltage using the CV jack. Additionally you may change the frequencies of the signal using the TONE potentiometer. Turning counterclockwise will add low and cut high frequencies und turning the knob clockwise will cut low and boost high frequencies. This works well with drums that will be send to an delay, reverb or any other effect when control voltage is being send to the CV jack. prev Up next

hapha / compact locked random voltage / 3 HP ⇣ HAPHA is a valuable tool for enhancing the organic and enjoyable qualities of your patches. This module generates a synchronized random voltage, tied to an external clock signal, and offers the option to stabilize this voltage into a fixed sequence. It's particularly useful for controlling filters and other sound-shaping parameters in your modular system. 1/3 key features Random Gate and CV Clock Sync Lock CV and Gate to a Sequence External CV Input Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection ​ specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 30 mm power: 25 mA @ +12V / 18 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The idea was to generate random sequences by turning a knob. When you turn the LCK knob, a voltage between roughly +9V and -9V is passed to a shift register with an R2R digital-to-analogue converter, which stores the voltages from the pot with each clock signal. Depending on how the control is turned (range and speed), different voltages are sampled, resulting in a different CV and gate sequence. The SER input allows the use of external voltages which are passed to the shift register (mixed with the voltages from the potentiometer). The switch enables or disables the external voltage from the SER input. To use it, simply connect a clock signal to the CLK input. HAPHA will then produce a random GATE signal at the upper output socket and a random CV signal at the lower output socket. You can create and lock a new sequence of voltages and gates by adjusting the LCK knob, and an LED indicator will show when a voltage change occurs. For additional control, if you move the SER switch to the right, you can patch an external voltage (audio or CV) into the serial input SER which will directly influence the random voltages at the outputs. With an external voltage patched, you can still change the sequence by turing the LCK pot. prev Up next

natural state / dual envelope ducking filter / 16 HP ⇣ Natural State consists of two 24db filters with a CV decay envelope and an internal LFO. It is designed to filter two waveforms in the most ear-friendly way possible to create natural and organic sounding grooves and soundscapes. 1/3 key features Dual Filter Dual Envelope Decay CV Filter CV Filter Ducking Internal LFO normalized to Filter CV Envelope Output Slider Pots Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 16 HP depth: 28 mm power: 81 mA @ +12V / 55 mA @ -12 documentation videos description / manual Each of the two channels has a DECAY slider that adjusts the decay length, an OPEN slider that adjusts the filter cutoff, and a FORCE slider that adjusts the amount of decay CV that affects the filter. The STRIKE input takes any CV from +1 volt and triggers the decay envelope. Both the decay and the filter cutoff can be controlled via the CV inputs DECAY and CTRL. Attenuators can be used to change the strength of the applied CV. The decay attenuator also acts as a DECAY CV offset. A subtle internal LFO can be routed to the filter cutoff, which is attenuated with the CTRL controls. The LFO range is rather slow to create smooth filter sweeps. The resonance of the individual filters can be changed with the PEAK potentiometers. ​ When the DUCK control is turned to the right, the decay of the left channel increasingly suppresses the signal of the right channel, creating a ducking effect. ​ Both decay envelopes are also routed to the ENV sockets for further external processing.

clanches / branches with internal cv clock / 6 HP ⇣ CLANCHES is an 6 HP clock source and dual random gate. It is a modification of Émilie Gillet's module Branches. 1/3 key features Internal Clock Source Dual Random Gate CV Clock HOLD Function Probability CV Clock normalled to both Gates 3x LED Two separate Gate Inputs Probabilty CV Skiff friendly ​ specs & downloads width: 6 HP depth: 28 mm power: 60 mA @ +12V / 35 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The internal clock indicated by the LED located in the centre is normalled to both inputs of the random gate. If there is an external trigger patched to one of the IN jacks, this connection will be interrupted. The gate takes a trigger or gate as an input and routes it to either one of its two outputs A and B according to a random coin toss. You can manually adjust the internal clock rate. A Switch changes the range from slow over moderate to very fast.The CV input gives you the opportunity to use control voltages in order to adjust the clock speed. Any signal above 3V will vary the rate. If the signal drops below 3V the clock generator is forced to hold. This way you can generate very interesting rhythms by just patching a random signal or LFO into the Clock CV. The internal clock is furthermore supplied via the OUT jack. The two manual controls P1 and P2 and their corresponding CV inputs change the probability of a signal to be routed to one of its outputs. In extreme settings, the outcome is no longer random causing the module to behave like a voltage controlled switch. The two LEDs on top indicate which output of each channel has been selected to route the signal. In contrast to the original Branches module the two toggle switches simple change the behaviour if the P1 or P2 is set fully clock- or fully counter clockwise. If you hold the button for 2 seconds once the signal will be routed to A and B alternately with each incoming trigger. In normal mode the will just be routed to A (CW) or B (CCW). prev Up next

yaksha´s fate / mutable instruments "rings" adaption / 8 HP ⇣ In this rendition, the emphasis was placed on showcasing all the adjustable parameters prominently while concealing those that could impact tuning and harmonics. This design approach allows you to immerse yourself in uninhibited live performance, without the concern of inadvertently altering frequency or structure, ensuring a seamless experience for both you and your audience. 1/3 key features Please check out the original module by Émilie Gillet which is an all time Eurorack classic already Illuminated Yaksha´s Fate Logo Wrong Polarity Protection ​ specs & downloads width: 8 HP depth: 38 mm power: 125 mA @ +12V / 12 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual It has all the functionality of the original module except for the two Outputs Odd/Even, Frequency CV (also Fine Tune) and Structure CV (Harmony). You may switch Filter CV or Decay CV to control Harmony via jumper though. The two outputs Odd and Even are mixed together on the OUT jack, but you can fade from one to the other using the Partial Knob. This way you get an additional sound shaping option and some kind of trigger control when two or four notes polyphony is selected. In contrast to the original Yaksha´s Fate will rather act as a VCO producing a constant tone (through very fast trigs) if you plug a CV source into 1V/OCT without a trigger at the TRIG input. ​ Released under cc-by-sa-3.0 license: Pichenettes Mutable Instruments prev Up next

uit / trs balanced output / 4 HP ⇣ UIT is a balanced output module that supplies an active output on the cold terminal of the TRS jacks, producing the same signal as the hot terminal but phase-inverted. This allows stable driving of long cables at low noise levels. It is based on high-performance, fully differential operational amplifiers and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors that exibit low noise and distortion and a wide output swing. 1/4 key features TRS Balanced Output Low Noise and Low Distortion Headphone Output Volume Control Phantom Power Protection PCB Outputs for Case Mounted Jacks Wrong polarity protection ​ specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 35 mm power: 31 mA @ +12V / 25 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual This module offers two TRS 6.3mm jacks that provide the BALANCED OUTPUT signal and a TRS 3.5mm HEADPHONE OUTPUT. Both have dedicated VOLUME potentiometers with +6dB gain. Two LEDs indicate the level of both incoming signals. The left input is normalized to the right input if there is no signal present. The outputs are protected against unwanted phantom power voltages. There are also PCB outputs available if you want to solder case/cabin mounted output jacks directly to the UIT PCB. UIT is supposed to be the last module in your modular chain and connects the modular world with any other studio or stage input equipment. prev Up next

radio / analog fm radio with autoamtic cv channel search / 4 HP ⇣ RADIO is an analog FM RADIO with an automatic channel-search functionality. It supports a frequency band of 83,5 - 114 MHz, has a built-in frequency control with signal quality evaluation and runs with automatic noise suppression. It is a never ending sound source and a great companion for your Eurorack sampler or audio mangler. 1/3 key features Analog FM Radio Automatic Channel Search with Signal Quality Evaluation Automatic Noise Suppression 83,5 - 114 MHz Bandwidth CV Control over Channel Search or Reset Volume Control Gain Stage at the Output Illuminated ST Modular Logo specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 28 mm power: 18 mA @ +12V / 10 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual By pressing the buttons CH- and CH+ you can activate the automatic channel-search function up or down the frequency range. If a signal passes the internal quality evaluation the search is ended and the radio signal is available at the OUT socket. If you want to change to another radio station channel-search is also accessible via CV. Simply patch any gate or trigger signal into the inputs CH- and CH +. Two LEDs indicate of a trigger or gate signal is applied. Channel changes can be really quick, if there are good signals close to each other on the frequency band. If the signal is bad the search automatism may need more time to find good signals leading to slower channel changes. ​ The RST button resets the search to the lowest frequency. After reset you will receive some really nice radio noises until you proceed to the next proper channel again. You can also route the CH- CV input to RST via jumper on the back of the PCB. ​ The module has two volume buttons for quick level adjustments. Additionally it has an active GAIN stage adjustable via trimmer in order to raise the maximum volume to modular levels. The patch-cable connected to the OUT socket acts as an antenna. It´s best to choose a long cable and move it around until you receive the best signals. prev Up next

flitzem deför / brute sequencer and clock divider / 10 HP ⇣ Flitzem Deför excels as a sequencer for crafting concise, repetitive techno sequences and swift manual sequence alterations. 1/3 key features 4-Step Step Analog Sequencer 3x individual CV Outs to control 3 Oscillators at once 3 Different Sequence Modes: Forwards, Attenuverted, Offset or CV controlled, Backwards Clock or Trigger Through 2x Clock or Trigger Divider adjustable via two Switches Apply Sequence Variations with two Switches Reset CV Input Direction CV input Perfect for Techno Sequences Wrong Polarity Protection ​ ​ specs & downloads width: 10 HP depth: 28 mm power: 45 mA @ +12V / 42 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The FLITZEM DEFÖR is a 4-step sequencer with 3 individual CV outputs. OUT A is providing a 4-step sequence playing forwards. OUT B will output the same as OUT A, but the sequence CV may be attenuverted or offset with the help of two potentiometers. Additionally there is a CV input that may change the pitch of OUT B. In this case the second potentiometer from top right will be an attenuverter for the incoming CV signal. OUT C is playing the same sequence as OUT A, but backwards. In order to trigger other modules in sync there is a CLK OUT that will provide a buffered copy of the incoming CLK or trigger signal. Furthermore the incoming clock or trigger is divided by 2 or 8 and 4 or 16 on the dedicated clock outputs. The division my be changed with two switches. If you like to alternate the sequence of the three CV outputs, there are two switches that will forward the divided clock signals to the sequencer´s clock input. This way you will instantly create breaks, variations and more complex sequences. A trigger signal into the RST input jack will reset the sequencer. Any CV applied to DIR will change the direction. By using the RST and DIR inputs and the four clock division and change switches you will be able to achieve very rhythmical, versatile and interesting sequences you might not expect from a 4-step sequencer. The 3 CV outputs are especially made to control three separate oscillators at once to create brute and heavy sounds and sequences that will surely shake every dancefloor. The attenuvertion on OUT B is super handy to create detune and octave shifting effects and subbasslines that fit the sequence automatically. prev Up next

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
