- Envelope
Modulation & Random envelope / cv envelope generator / 12 HP ⇣ ENVELOPE presents a classic ADSR/AR envelope generator elevated by advanced controls and shaping capabilities. Tailored for crafting diverse envelopes, it offers precise adjustments that result in dynamic control voltages, adding an organic and captivating dimension to your sounds. 1/3 key features ADSR/AR Envelope CV Control over all Stages Attenuator per CV Input Shape Control for Attack, Decay and Release Internal Envelope-Controlled Amplifier Loop Function Internal Modulation 0V to +10V Range specs & downloads width: 12 HP depth: 30 mm power: 56 mA @ +12V / 36 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The length of each ADSR stage can be changed with four slider potentiometers. Times range from 1ms in FAST MODE to half a minute in SLOW MODE. The FAST MODE allows a very fine adjustment of short envelopes, which is especially handy for creating percussive sounds. There are dedicated SHAPE potentiometers for the ATTACK, DECAY and RELEASE stages. With these you can switch from exponential to logarithmic response curves. Each phase has its own CV input to control its timing. Dedicated attenuators allow you to adjust how much voltage is applied. The slider LEDs indicate if a voltage is being processed and if the timing of a stage is being changed. If nothing is patched to the CV inputs, the attenuators suppress the portion of each stage's voltage that is passed to the OUTPUT jack. This allows you to quickly change the envelope without changing the original slider settings. In addition, there is a CV input RF CV to control all rising and falling stages at once (without LED indication). ENVELOPE also has an internal GATE and MODULATION source. When the LOOP/RESET switch is set to LOOP, the envelope is internally triggered at a rate set by the MOD RATE pot. It also allows you to internally apply a TRIANGLE or SQUARE-WAVE LFO to any stage when nothing is patched to the CV inputs and the attenuators are turned clockwise. The rate of the LFO is also controllable with the MOD RATE pot. You can change the waveform of the LFO with the TRI/SQU switch. Setting the LOOP/RESET switch to RESET will reset the internal LFO each time a gate or trigger is received at the TRIG/GATE input. The TRIG/GATE switch determines whether a trigger or gate signal should be applied to the TRIG/GATE input. When you set the switch to TRIG, the envelope type changes to ATTACK and RELEASE only. If you need an envelope that is easy to change, this is the correct setting. GATE mode activates a full-featured ADSR envelope with many adjustment options. In addition to the standard envelope output ENV OUT, there is also an inverted output ENV INV. The voltage ranges of the ADSR outputs are about 0V to +10V for the normal output and 0V to -10V for the inverted output. To complete the packed feature list, ENVELOPE is also equipped with an internal VCA, which is internally connected to the envelope output. Simply connect an audio source to the VCA IN input and you'll have an envelope-controlled signal available at the VCA OUT jack.

After releasing your finger from the PUSH plate the frequency will smoothly recover to its original speed set by the frequency knob. prev Up next
- Yaksha´s Fate
Oscillator 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.

- Alstaden
Oscillator alstaden / analog waveshaping oscillator / 16 HP ⇣ ALSTADEN is your source for harsh and harmonically rich sounds. It is a newly developed waveshaping tone generator and resembles the secondary oscillator of the semi-modular synthesizer „EUPHORIA“. 1/3 key features Analog Oscillator with 5 Waveforms CV Waveshaper and VCA EQ and External Inputs Level-Potentiometers Linear and Exponential FM specs & downloads width: 16 HP depth: 30 mm power: 75 mA @ +12V / 65 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The waves are formed by a combination of diode clipping and folding of the waveform by adding mirror images of the upper and lower parts of the waveform. This creates more high harmonics and interesting timbral variations. It also features an equalizer, which is quite unusual for oscillators, but offers more sonic possibilities. The oscillator module offers five different waveforms WAVE A, WAVE B, PULSE, SUB and SINE. The level of the individual waveforms can be adjusted with sliding potentiometers. The range of the levels depends mainly on the gain you set during calibration. Distortion can easily occur in the upper positions of the sliders if you have set the gain high. The pulse width of the PULSE waveform can be changed manually with the PULSE PWM knob. There is also a CV input CV PWM with its own attenuator to control the pulse width via CV. At the heart of this oscillator are the two waveshapers WAVE A and WAVE B. Harmonics are added by wavefolding and can be changed by turning the SHAPE A and SHAPE B knobs. Additionally there is a CV input CV SHAPE A1 and CV SHAPE B1 with an attenuator each for voltage controlled wave folding. WAVE B has a second CV input without attenuator that allows even more control over the wavefolding state. The SUBOCTAVE has two stages of -1 and -2 octaves. Select your preferred division with the help of the SUB -1 and SUB -2 on/off switches. Unexpectedly, you can equalize the output of the oscillator with the TONE control. It accentuates either low or high frequencies of all waveforms before they are fed to a internal VCA. The INTERNAL VCA can be controlled via the ENV IN socket. Patch any CV here to change the level of the main output. Additionally, there is also a FM input. You can apply exponential or linear FM by feeding any (preferably high frequency) voltage into the FM input. Select an FM type with the EXP/LIN switch. If you set the switch to the middle position, no FM will be applied. V/OCT is the input for the application of a pitch CV. The pitch can be controlled manually with the PITCH and FINE potentiometers. EXT IN A and EXT IN B are audio inputs that allow you to use the oscillator as a waveshaper for external signals. When a jack is connected to these inputs, the corresponding internal waveform is switched off. The external signals will also be routed through the level potentiometers, EQ and VCA.
