  • Matrico

    Mixer & VCA matrico / 3x3 bipolar matrix mixer with sum out / 10 HP ⇣ There are many creative ways to use matrix mixers for CV and audio processing. MATRICO is a full-featured matrix mixer in a small footprint that provides instant access to this modular creativity. 1/3 key features 3x3 Matrix Mixer Bipolar or Unipolar Input LED Low HP Size Performance-Orientated Mixing Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 10 HP depth: 30 mm power: 35 mA @ +12V / 25 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual MATRICO has three inputs I - III which can be routed to any of the three outputs A-C. For each connection between I-III and A-C there is a separate potentiometer which acts as an attenuator/attenuverter. For each output A-C you can decide whether the signals should be processed unipolar or bipolar. The LEDs indicate whether a positive or negative signal is present at the respective input. They only show input signals, as it is so much easier to identify a signal to be mixed with other signals. There is also a sum output with LEDs that provides a mix of all outputs. prev Up next

  • Influencer

    Modulation & Random influencer / multiple random cv generator / 14 HP ⇣ INFLUENCER offers a versatile collection of CV tools and creative unpredictability, divided into five distinctive sections, each serving a distinct purpose. With an array of modulation sources and an added touch of uncertainty, INFLUENCER stands as your comprehensive CV powerhouse. 1/3 key features 5x CV Generators Internal Clock & LFO CV Fall Envelope Sample & Hold/Track A/B Comparator Smooth Random CV Noise Out Input Normalisations specs & downloads width: 14 HP depth: 28 mm power: 110 mA @ +12V / 65 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The TOP SECTION is the VC INTERNAL CLOCK and TRIANGLE LFO. The rate of the clock and LFO can be controlled by the RATE knob or CV. The clock signal is normalised to the trigger input of the FALL section. The TRIANGLE wave at the WAVE socket is also routed to the WAVE/RNDM SWITCH of the FALL section. When the switch is in the upper position and the attenuator is turned to the left, the wave will affect the FALL length. In the lower position, the FALL CV is slowly randomised. The SECOND SECTION is a FALL ENVELOPE GENERATOR. It can be triggered internally or externally and its fall time can be controlled by the FALL TIME knob or by CV. An inverted version of the fall output is also available. The THIRD SECTION is the SAMPLE & HOLD section. In one mode, it can sample and store a voltage from the FALL CV socket and output it at the SP OUT socket when the gate at GATE is high (Sample & Hold). In another mode, it can pass through the incoming voltage when GATE is high. It then samples and stores the last voltage applied when GATE is low (Sample & Track). The modes are selected by the MODE switch. The STEPPED potentiometer controls the level of the incoming CV signal. Internally the CLOCK is normalised to the GATE input. The CV input can be fed by an external signal, an internal SMOOTH RANDOM CV or by internal NOISE. Please note that this section may produce noise bursts in Sample & Track mode. The FOURTH SECTION is an AND / OR COMPARATOR that compares two mixable inputs and outputs the MAXIMUM CV and MINIMUM CV of both. It also generates a GATE at B-GATE if IN B is greater than IN A. Note that MIN LED barley flashes with low CV levels.The LAST SECTION is a DUAL SMOOTH RANDOM CV GENERATOR. It provides a constantly changing CV at SMOOTH I and SMOOTH II, slowly meandering in about 60 second cycles. The SMOOTH CV input will affect the SMOOTH outputs in unpredictable ways, sometimes not at all. Internally there is another SMOOTH RANDOM GENERATOR which is normalised to the RNDM switch position of the FALL section, the CLOCK CV and the SOURCE switch of the SAMPLE & HOLD section. Like the others, this SMOOTH GENERATOR may or may not be influenced by the INFLUENCE input. NOISE OUT allows access to the internal NOISE GENERATOR. You could also use the module as an OSCILLATOR.

  • Oberhausen

    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.

  • Rocinante´s Gate

    Filter & EQ 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

  • Cinco

    Oscillator cinco / five oscillators in a module / 14 HP ⇣ CINCO consists of a series of five oscillators that can be controlled in pitch from a single source. It generates drones, chords and massive walls of sound that stand out impressively from classic single-wave oscillators. 1/3 key features Five Analog Oscillators 2x Saw or Pulse and 3x Saw Waves Individual Pitch Controls Single CV Pitch Input Transpose all Oscillators Internal Mixer Individual Outputs Pulse Width Control (OSC 1 & 2) FM Inputs (OSC 3, 4 & 5) Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 14 HP depth: 30 mm power: 65 mA @ +12V / 43 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual Cinco boasts five analog oscillators capable of generating drones or chords comprising five notes, accessible from the MIX OUT socket. Each oscillator's tuning can be adjusted independently using the TUNE and FINE controls. Simultaneous pitch control for all five oscillators is facilitated by patching CV to the CV ALL input. Moreover, the TUNE ALL knob allows for collective transposition of all oscillators, with the range of transpose amount adjustable via a trimmer located on the module's rear. While Cinco wasn't specifically designed for precise 1V per octave tracking, you can achieve close approximation by calibrating tuning using trimmers located on the module's back. The first oscillator is slightly tuned below the rest, while the last oscillator is slightly tuned above. The fixed oscillator tuning can be changed with optional capacitors on the circuit board. Oscillators 1 and 2 offer a choice between a SAW or PULSE waveform, each selectable via dedicated toggle switches. Pulse width adjustment can be done manually using the PLS WIDTH knobs or via CV modulation. In the case of CV modulation, the PWM knob controls the intensity of the modulation. It's important to note that these PWM knobs aren't attenuators; hence, incoming CV cannot be completely deactivated for pulse width control but can be reduced to a pleasant level. Oscillators 3 to 5 exclusively output a saw waveform and include additional frequency modulation inputs (FM IN). Applying voltage to these inputs modulates the frequency (pitch) of the oscillators. The FM AMT controls determine the degree of CV influence on the frequency. Similar to previous controls, the FM AMT knobs aren't attenuators, meaning full left rotation won't completely eliminate FM, but rather reduce it to a minimal level. Notably, the FM IN input of oscillator 3 is normalized to the other FM inputs. This facilitates pitch control for oscillators 3 to 5 alongside the primary CV ALL pitch input. If desired, this normalization can be disabled by desoldering an SMD bridge located on the back of the PCB or by connecting dummy cables (patch cables that are not connected further) to the other FM inputs. Utilize the five LEVEL controls to precisely adjust the volume of each oscillator or completely deactivate them by turning the controls fully counterclockwise. Additionally, each oscillator is individually outputted via the OUT sockets located at the bottom, allowing for further isolated processing of the signals with external modules. Importantly, these individual outputs are not affected by the LEVEL controls and typically produce louder signals compared to the mixed output. Cinco isn't just a source for rich and harmonically versatile analog sounds; it's also capable of generating harsh and earthshaking waveforms, particularly when utilizing the FM inputs.

  • Karl

    Filter & EQ karl / multi-mode stereo filter / 8 HP ⇣ Karl is an analog multi-mode filter that is loosely based on the KORG MS-10 and MS-20 filters, but has been improved to handle two mono or one stereo audio source. The Resonance can still be varied independently per channel, which is very interesting when using two different audio sources at once. If you want to merge the two audio sources there is a Mix Out next to the two independent outputs per channel. 1/3 key features Analog Dual/Stereo-Filter 4 Filter Modes: LP, HP, Phaser and Overdrive Independent Resonance Control Mix two Mono Signals Mono to Stereo Converter CV Control over Cutoff Frequency CV Attenuator Expander Module Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 8 HP depth: 28 mm power: 56 mA @ +12V / 45 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual Karl has four modes: Low Pass Mode: Classic Analog Low Pass Filter High Pass Mode: Classic Analog High Pass Filter Phaser Mode: A small band of frequencies is filtered next to the original signal being passed through Overdrive Mode: If Resonance is increased the filter will quickly jump to overdrive, which creates some nice Harmonics The Modes may be changed via jumpers on the back of the module. In any mode the Cutoff Frequency may be changed via CV. The CV signal can be attenuated with the CV potentiometer. There is also an expander module available. The „Karl Mode Selector“ gives you front panel control over the modes and an alternative audio input for the right channel that can be activated via switch. prev Up next

  • Kaui

    Oscillator kau'i / dual techno oscillator / 8 HP ⇣ KAU'I is a basic two oscillator sound generator that was designed to create Techno basses and leads. 1/3 key features Dual Analog Oscillator Manual Wave-shape Controls Independent Level Control Mix Output Noise Generator Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 8 HP depth: 28 mm power: 55 mA @ +12V / 29 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual Oscillators A and B share identical designs but cover distinct pitch ranges. Using the A and B knobs located atop the module, you can seamlessly transition the waveform of each oscillator from a square-wave to a triangle wave. The SHAPE2 knobs then take this waveform and blend it with an independent sine-wave signal for each oscillator. The LVL knobs adjust the volume of each sound generator, while rotating the NOISE knob introduces white noise to oscillator A on the MIX output. Both oscillators feature a pitch control input accompanied by an attenuator. This input follows a linear voltage-to-frequency response (Hz/Oct), making it ideal for generating unique Techno sequences at lower frequencies. At the module's base, you'll discover a MIX OUT combining the outputs of both oscillators, alongside individual outputs for each oscillator. prev Up next

  • Hapha

    Modulation & Random 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
