Herzlich Labs - Apnea 3
available
I know what you want: you want to make something go silent, fast.You want nice, tactile clicky goodness. You want half the size, half the price and exactly as much utility - and buddy, you've found it.Introducing the Apnea 3, 3 mutes that'll make your patch go dead quiet in the click of a button. No funky clicks, no weirdness, just a kill switch that kills your incoming CV or audio signal, ready to be revived with another click of the button - and did I mention it's 2hp? Did I mention it's passive and draws no power? Did I mention it's skiff friendly? Did I mention it's really nice and also good?Finally, the unit is designed to be turned either way, for maximum ergonomic pleasure and utility. You can even choose yourself whether pushing the buttons down will mute or unmute. Neat!Also an excellent gift for the unskilled modular musician who insists on not using headphones.Features:• Quick, simple and customizable build.• Very high utility-per-hp factor and no power requirements.• Works well with both CV and audio signals.• Nice tactile buttons without actuation noise bleeding into your signals!DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy.

Herzlich Labs - Omen
available
The Omen is a dual LPG with a bit more than you might be used to. Like you, I once was lost in the world of low pass gates, seeking something more, something bigger and somehow juicier. The inspiration came to me as I was reading a particularly heavy book on passive filters, and I realized it was possible to make far more interesting LPG designs than the standard we've become so accustomed to.In a convergence of old-school LPG design and more modern components, the Omen boasts two -6dB resonant filters, custom built vactrols, built in CV attenuation and no less than three cutoff modes per filter. Filter 1 is soft and light, imparting a gentle, naturally gated touch of filtering on your sound, while Filter 2 is darker and more resonant, and can turn downright growly and distorted when left wide open.Designed to give you as many creative options as possible, the Omen has the unique ability to function as either two discrete LPG, or as one 4-pole resonant LPG. When plugging a signal in to Input 1, and with no signal plugged into Input 2, the output will be present at both Output 1 and Output 2, with Output 2 producing the signal as it passes through both filters. Tweaking both filters independently will generate a wide array of soft and sometimes harsh tones, ranging from Buchla bongos to early synthesis brass and organ sounds. There is much to love here.CV is similarly handled, by plugging in only one CV source, it will act on both channels - this is useful for creating musically similar outputs as well as when using the dual filter operation. However, the dual filter mode greatly benefits from having two CV inputs: use an envelope in CV1 to act as a VCA, and an LFO in CV2 to create tremolo, for instance.Using custom designed, hand built vactrols, care has been taken to mitigate the less desirable aspects of passive LPGs - in most modules, the user can expect zero bleed through on the LPG channels, and signal attenuation is minimal even with the 4-pole filter settings engaged. Of course, many of the natural features of vactrols remain, such as subtle memory effect when engaging the vactrol for long periods.DIY enthusiast? Rejoice! The Omen is available as a fully loaded DIY kit - everything you need to build your very own Omen packed in one place, so you can easily build one in the comfort of your own home. It is not a difficult DIY project, an ambitious beginner or someone with experience from a few easy builds can tackle the Omen in an afternoon. The build is all through-hole aside from three SMD components, which are easily soldered by hand due to their large size.Finally, you receive maximum blinkenlights as LED's on the front panel simulate the action of the vactrols, so you'll always know what's going on under the hood. No collection of fancy LPG's is complete without the Omen - add some analog warmth to your signals, today.Features:• Functions both as two discrete LPGs or as one multi-pole filter LPG• A passive LPG without the characteristic signal bleed or input loss• You read that right: each LPG contains a resonant two-pole filter• Comprehensive build guide, complete with picturesDIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

Herzlich Labs - R2R
available
Herzlich Labs - R2R Ladder 8-bit DAC. It's a passive R2R ladder circuit, which will do all kinds of neat things in your system. Use it as an 8-Bit Digital to Analog Converter, punch in a bunch of digital signals in every numbered input, and from the output you shall find a delightful analog signal.Or why not use it as a weird, passive weighted mixer? A fixed-setting attenuator? Why not plug in a bunch of stuff and just see where it takes you? I promise it's safe, thanks to the brilliant design and architecture of the Herzlich R2R.In delightful 3 HP to fill that space left by another odd-sized module.Features:• Passive 8-bit DAC• Use it as a mixer, fixed attenuator or a number of other things• Flexibly use anything as input or outputDIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy.
