Mixer & VCA fay v2 / fader, vca, overdrive, decay / 24 HP ⇣ FAY Combines four functional units in a tiny 4HP Module. It consists of a Fader, a VCA, an Overdrive and a Decay/Release Envelope. 1/3 key features Manual Fader/Mixer/Switch Voltage controlled amplifier Decay or Release Envelope Overdrive Functionality Volume Control LED indication Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 28 mm power: 25 mA @ +12V / 10 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual If you insert two audio sources into the jacks IN A and IN B you may fade between both sources manually using the potentiometer on the bottom. This way you can either mix two waveforms or switch between them.The signal is 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. If there is a trigger signal at the TRIG input you will be able to control the VCA with the internal decay or release envelope (selectable via jumper). Simply insert a trigger signal into the TRIG jack and use the potentiometer below the LED to control the decay length. The LED indicates the current state of voltage. The envelope time can be set to 10ms or 3s via jumper. Thus is can be very snappy for percussion purposes. The decay or release envelope is also provided at the ENV OUT jack to control external modules via CV. Additionally there is an OVERDRIVE option that may be activated via switch. It is also affected by the CV input and shapes the sound to a certain extend. The OVERDRIVE is fairly subtle and more audible on short decay times. Nevertheless it really crunches up some simple waveforms. In contrast to the first version FAY Mk2 has an improved PCB layout and now only consists of one PCB to solder. prev Up next

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.

KASTLE_BACK.jpg 1/3 key features Please check out the Bastl Desktop Synths for further details and consider buying one - it´s worth it! Use with Bastl Kastle or Drum Kastle Firmware Illuminated EuroKastle Logo Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 10 HP depth: 28 mm power: 47 mA @ +12V documentation videos description / manual Switching between OSC mode and Rungler mode has been streamlined with a convenient switch, eliminating the need for intricate cable patching. Furthermore, each functionality is consolidated to a single input/output, simplifying your setup. Notably, our EuroKastle boasts a unique Waveshape CV attenuator absent in the original Kastle design. While we highly recommend Bastl's desktop version, the EuroKastle can stand independently. You can independently source all the required components, without necessarily needing the original. It's important to note that the PCB lacks an AVR ISP header. To program the Attiny85 ICs, a prior flashing process is essential before they find their place in the IC sockets (a breadboard can be utilized for this purpose). The programming process can be completed using any AVR ISP programmer. Powering the EuroKastle is a breeze with compatibility with standard Eurorack power supply units. Version V2 introduces AVR Headers to the PCB's bottom for direct ATTiny programming on the PCB itself. The diode pads have been thoughtfully enlarged for an enhanced soldering experience. Additionally, the CV Sources are normalized to the CV Input switches, facilitating instant modulation without the need for external patching. In Version V3, we've incorporated a jumper that allows you to transform the Mix OR OUT socket into a TRIGGER INPUT for the Drum Kastle firmware, enhancing your creative possibilities.

Sequencer 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

Mixer & VCA mix & pan / 4-channel mixer with vca, cv pan, and cv scan. / 18 HP ⇣ This module is great for creating ever-changing and organic soundscapes throughout the complete stereo field, making your composition a very varied and a persistently interesting listening experience. 1/4 key features 4-Channel Mixer 4x VCA 4x CV PAN CV SCAN CV SPAN Volume Slide Pots Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 18 HP depth: 55 mm power: 92 mA @ +12V / 78 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual MIX & PAN completes the ST Modular SUM mixer series with a fully CV-controlled 4-channel mixer. It features CV PAN, VCA per channel and a CV CHANNEL SCANNER. Each channel has a VOLUME SLIDER and a VOL CV input to control the internal VCA. The panning per channelcan be adjusted with the PAN controls or the PAN CV inputs. LEDs indicate the channel volume and the stateof the panning. All channels are sum med and can be tapped at the main output jack. The SCAN and SPAN functions are really the most outstanding features of the module. They provide a unique way to mix 1 to 4 channels using one or two CV signals applied to the SCAN and/or SPAN CV inputs. The scan functionality allows you to output a selection of channels by turning the SCAN knob or applying CV to the SCAN input. The range of channels that are activated is set manually or by CV using the SPAN knob. This not only narrows down the active channels from all to just one, but also reduces the effect the SCAN CV hason the VCAs, as if you were shortening their decay time. When both SCAN and PAN are in the centre position and you turn SCAN, you activate one of the four channels at a time. If you increase SPAN, more of the adjacent channels become audible until all channels have reached maximum volume (from mid to cw position). If you decrease SPAN again, only one scanned channel will be audible (mid position) and it will then start to fade out shorter (turning from mid to ccw position). If a CV signal is present at the SCAN CV input and you turn SCAN to the left, the activated channels are narrowed to the left. Conversely, if you turn the knob to the right, only channels 3 and 4 are activated, and in the rightmost position, only channel 4. All CV inputs also accept audio signals, and it is quite interesting to control them with CVs that transition seamlessly from low frequencies to audio rates.

Sequencer serial / shift register sequencer / 8 HP ⇣ Serial is a sequencer that generates random gates and voltages, allowing for seamless looping with a specified step length. It excels at quickly creating and cycling through random voltages while simultaneously producing up to 8 gates. 1/3 key features 8-Step Analog Sequencer Outputs 8 Gates and 1 CV Signal Sequence Randomly or Looped 4 Different Lengths Length CV External Clock Manually Add or Delete Notes/Gates CV Out Level Control Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 8 HP depth: 30 mm power: 55 mA @ +12V / 21 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The CLOCK input takes any voltage (CV & audio) and generates clock pulses according to a voltage threshold that can be adjusted by a trimmer on the back of the board. Turn it to the left to lower the threshold and increase the probability that low voltages will generate a clock signal. This clock is used to drive an internal shift register that reads a voltage level generated by an internal noise generator and synchronises it to the clock. The generated noise can also be taken from the NOISE output. If you plug something into the CV IN socket, this voltage is mixed with the noise source and locked to the sequence with every clock pulse. This way you can influence random notes with an external CV. When voltages are locked to a clock, a gate corresponding to that clock signal is generated and passed in series to the GATE OUTPUTS. In addition, a main trigger pulse is available at the PULSE socket. At the same time, the locked voltage is passed on to the CV OUT socket (e.g. to be routed to a 1V/OCT input of an oscillator). Adjust the level of this voltage with the AMOUNT knob. Use the ADD or DEL button to manually set or remove locked voltages in the sequence. You will notice that you can only add a note if you press ADD at the same time as a clock pulse. By pressing the LENGTH button, you can choose the step length of the sequence between 4, 6, 7 or 8 steps (the picture shows step 5, which was later changed to step 7). You can also change the length via CV. Please note that changing the step length can also lead to different output voltages at CV OUT, as it reads the voltages from different clock pulses. Use the RNDM/LOOP button to loop a sequence or create a random new series of voltages and gates. SERIAL QUICK START GUIDE: SERIAL_QUICK_START .pdf Download PDF • 532KB prev Up next
