Dannysound - Timbre
Product information "Dannysound - Timbre"
The Timbre is a 6HP Eurorack module based on the wave folder section of the Buchla 259 oscillator as implemented in the Music Easel.
The wave folder adds extra harmonics to input signals that have low harmonic content to creating rich and interesting timbres.
Typical input sources to use would be Sine and Triangle waves but you are welcome to try other sources as well!
The Dannysound Timbre adds an extra input to the Buchla design to allow 2 oscillators to drive the wave-folder simultaneously –
this dramatically increases the range of possible tones that can be generated and allows the folder to go wild!
Buchla 259 inspired waveshaper, the perfect module to put in-between your Dannysound Cali and EN129 oscillators!
Features:
• Osc1 / Osc2 Mix – Adjusts mix between oscillator 1 and 2 inputs, also acts as an attenuator if only one of the inputs is used.
• Timbre Control – Adjusts the overall wave fold amount.
• Timbre CV – Bipolar (attenuverter) controls the Timbre CV input.
• Symmetry – Adds an offset to the input so the top half of the wave starts folding earlier.
• Blend – Mixes between the clean and effected sound.
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. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.

Manufacturer "Dannysound"
Dannysound is a small Berlin based electronics company, specialising in the design of Eurorack modular synthesisers.
The aim of Dannysound synthesisers is to provide high quality audio design and performance. There is a focus on warm sounding, soft-clipping saturation inherent to the designs, that can make recorded tracks "sit" better in a mix.
The collection started with a basic synthesiser voice that included reworkings of some classic designs to provide added functionality or better performance where necessary. The future of the collection will focus more on original designs, however, there are also some classic modules that have been requested by users that might make their way into the line-up.
The modules are currently available as kits from Thonk.co.uk and there are plans to start making fully assembled versions in the near future.
I started playing guitar in the 80’s, when it was cool. In the 90’s I studied jazz at music college and then went on to have a glittering career playing some of the worst pubs and clubs, to absolutely no one for 5 years. Then I decided to make electronic music and before I even recorded the first note I got a record deal…they liked the idea! Recorded an album… got dropped!
Had a ton of rubbish jobs until a friend suggested university, so I got a degree in electronics with the specific goal of making musical equipment. Designed guitar effects, valve guitar amplifiers and synths; building polyphonic and monophonic complete systems for a number of years. A friend suggested I design Eurorack modules and with the help of Thonk the brand was established.
The company name was suggested by a friend also. I fixed a lot of bands gear for a while and I liked to tinker around to get the best sound possible, so the name Dannysound (Danny's sound), is what he suggested… it seemed to fit with the design philosophy, plus I had no better ideas, so that’s the name.
