4ms - Noise Swash
only 2 left
The Noise Swash is a chaotic random noise-maker and CV generator, generating its own sounds or working as an audio processor. As a stand-alone device it generates unpredictable continuously morphing oscillations on the Audio Output jack, and random CV fluctuations out the dual-direction "Mood CV" jack. A second CV input jack controls the Swash and Noisegate sections with positive and negative CV voltage. An audio input jack allows for distorting an audio signal beyond recognition, or using audio to trigger and modulate the chaos. The Swash knob is a 10-turn Bourns pot for adjusting minor variations. Each Swash has its own peculiarly unique 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.

4ms - Sampler
sold out at the moment
The Sampler plays stereo or mono .wav files from an SD Card. Samples are arranged into banks by placing .wav files into folders (each folder is a bank). A maximum of 10 samplers can be loaded in a bank, and there is a maximum of 60 bank (600 samples maximum total). Sample files are limited to 4GB each, which is over 6 hours at 44k/16b/stereo. • Hundreds of samples included on microSD card • Extremely quiet, low noise and low jitter design • Stereo or Mono output A knob and CV jack selects the Sample to play, and the Start Position knob and CV jack control where in the sample playback will begin. The Length knob and CV jack determine how much of the sample is played back: from tiny grains, to percussive hits, to longer loops... or just the entire file. Pressing Play or firing a trigger into the Play Trig jack will play the sample. Holding the Play button down for a second will toggle looping. There's also a Reverse button and jack for backwards playback, and an End Out jack for synchronizing loops, or cascading sample playback with other events. To record samples, hold Play and Reverse for two seconds. Press Play again or fire a trigger into the Play/Rec Trig jack to start and stop recording. Each recording will create a new stereo 48kHz 24bit .wav file in the current bank's folder. Recordings can be as long as your card has the capacity for: a 256GB card is 18 days of continuous recording (432.9 hours). Audio data is split into maximum 4GB wav files on the microSD card. Included with the DIY Sampler Kit: • Main PCB • Faceplate • All components required for assembly (resistors, capacitors, diodes, ICs, sockets, headers, voltage regulator, jacks, buttons, SD card slot, potentiometers, knobs) • Pre-programmed and pre-soldered "DSP Brain-Board" • 16GB micro SD card (class 10) with 4ms Sample Pack 2022 • SD adaptor • 10-to-16 pin power cable • M3 screws Features: • Play button/trigger jack: Tapping the button or receiving a trigger starts/re-starts the sample • Sample CV/knob: select which sample within the channel's bank • Pitch CV and Pitch knob: playback pitch (-10 to +4 octave range) • Start Pos CV/knob: position in the sample to begin playback (loop start point) • Length CV/knob: playback time (loop end point) • Length knob at max: entire file is played • Length knob 50%-99%: 200ms - 5s of the sample is played (beginning at the Start Position) • Length knob <50%: Percussive decay envelope is applied to the playback (attack-only envelope if playing Reverse) • Length <1%: Tiny grains are played (can be used to sweep through sample file data manually) • Reverse button/jack: toggles forward/backwards • Bank button: selects channel's bank • Reverse+Start Pos button/knob combo allows for setting volume of playback • Audio Inputs: 20Hz to 10kHz (+/-0.1dB); -6dB rolloff @ 20kHz / 21V peak-to-peak maximum before clipping • Audio Outputs: 0Hz (DC) to 22kHz with maximum -1.8dB difference between file data and output / +10.5V to -10.5V maximum output DIY-Kit-Type: THT-Kit-1.

Following our ADDAC103 T-Networks this new module is also inspired by Twin T-Networks circuits used in many legendary drum machines. A simple 4 voice module with frequency controls for each of the voices. This new module also features CV inputs with attenuverters for each voice Frequency. Due to the specificities of the circuit and to keep the module at a low price these inputs are not calibrated to 1v/octave.At each voice input there’s a gate to trigger converter so any input source is possible.Audio inputs can also be used as an input, in this case and due to the nature of the gate to trigger converter, each voice can be used as very destructive filters.The top 2 channels feature a higher frequency range, the bottom 2 channels feature a lower frequency range.Features:4 voices each with:• Frequency control with CV input and attenuverter Frequency Range Switch, Low/Mod/High• Trigger Input• Audio Output• Summing Mix output with Volume controlDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2.

ADDAC System - 105 4 Voice Cluster
available
Following our ADDAC103 T-Networks this new module is inspired by its simplicity. This is a 4 voice Square Oscillator with VCA, FM switch and a slew decay for the incoming Trigger IN. All voices are then sent through a Multimode Filter.Each voice has its own VCA input where any input is accepted (Trigger, Gate, CV). The [DECAY] controls the slew decay applied to the incoming signal, if [DECAY] is fully anti-clockwise then it works as a Mute. The [FM ON] switches activate/deactivate the FM input coming from the previous voice: Voice 1 FM comes from voice 4, voice 2 FM comes from voice 1, and so on, so you can FM all of them in a FM loop.All 4 voices are summed and sent through a filter with controls over [CUTOFF] with an Attenuverter for the CV input and [RESONANCE]. Three filter outputs are provided [LOWPASS], [BANDPASS] and [HIGHPASS]The [EXTERNAL IN] input can be routed through a jumper on the back of the module allowing the incoming signal to go to:1. the filter input for processing an external audio source;2. all of the 4 voices Frequency control allowing for some experimental CV control over pitch of all 4 voices at the same time (due to the specificities of the circuit and to keep the module at a low price these inputs are not calibrated to 1v/octave).DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2.

ADDAC System - 106 T-Noiseworks
only 1 left
This is the last module in our T-Networks series, a straightforward 4 voice module with frequency and decay controls for each of the voices. As the name already unveils we added a noise source and created 2 different circuits that explore the timbre of a t-network when used to filter noise.There are 2 different circuits in this module: voices 1 to 3 have a pre-vca t-network filter while in voice 4 the t-networks filter applied post-vca.At each voice input there’s a switch that sets which type of input to use; this signal will be used to control an internal VCA hence why the type of setting defined here is important:1. Trigger - Any incoming CV will be converted into a 1ms trigger as soon as it crosses its fixed threshold.2. Mute - This disconnects then incoming signal effectivelly muting the voice.3. Envelopes - This can be used with CV sources as well as Gate sources and simply follows the input signal.This incoming signal will then be processed by a slew circuit which adds a decay factor allowing the user to set the “Tail” of each voice.Trigger mode is mostly dedicated for percussive sounds while the Envelope mode is open to any external envelope control and able to control noise swooshes, swirls, crackles and pops simply out of t-networks filtered noise.Audio inputs also welcome use as a Trigger/Envelope input, in fact the results of using this method had us all extremely surprised, so please do try it out!Diferences between voices:The first 3 voices also feature a Timbre selector switch: Hat/SnareIn Snare mode all frequencies coming from the t-networks filter pass through to the output .In Hat mode it adds a High Pass circuit which removes the mid/bottom frequencies (characteristic of the snare strike) creating a higher spectrum output which is closer to a Hat timbre.All of these 3 voices are also differently tuned from each other to offer more timbrical options.Voice 4 is closer to a typical t-networks circuit but this time a peculiar one where the noise is gated by the vca and then sent through the t-networks filter.Hat and Snare are terms used very loosely here; they are timbrical references and do not in any shape or form try to effectively replicate the complex timbres of a real world Hat or Snare.Features:4 Voices each with:• Frequency control• Decay control• Timbre type, Hat/Snare (Voice 1 to 3)• Frequency Range Switch, Low/Mod/High (Voice 4) Input• Audio Output• Also and overall Summing Mix output with Volume control and 2 diferent output types (Normal/Dirt)DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2.

ADDAC System - 107 Acid Source
only 2 left
We started this module with the idea of developing a complex drum source. However, somewhere along the process we noticed how much better it performed as a synth voice and simply embraced this lucky accident.It features a VCO with a [FREQUENCY] and [FINE TUNE] knob plus a dedicated CV Input and Attenuator knob (tunable over 4 octaves). The VCO waveform output is achieved by selecting either a Triangle or Saw through a switch. The selected waveform can then be mixed/balanced against the square wave. The resulting mix is then sent to the Filter.The Filter features a [CUTOFF] and [RESO] resonance knob plus a Cutoff CV Input and Attenuverter knob.A 3 position switch is used to select the filter type: Highpass, Bandpass or Lowpass. The resulting output is then sent to the VCA.The VCA features an Input with [INPUT GAIN] knob which at maximum can amplify the incoming signal by a factor of 2.This is a very important control, it accepts any signal Trigger, Gate or CV. Whatever input is plugged in the signal is then fed through an AD with a very short attack and controllable decay through the [VCA DECAY] knob plus the CV Input and Attenuverter knob. The resulting slewed signal is then used to control the VCA gain. This signal is also sent to the CV OUTPUT as well as the LED monitor.The Accent input adds to the Input signal creating a different amplitude output. The CV OUTPUT is normalled to the Frequency and Cutoff inputs.DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module.

cDVCA or class-D VCA is a new kind of VCA based on an entirely novel concept that is inspired from class-D amplification technology. This is not a transparent VCA and brings a lot of character to the sound.The first VCA that tracks 1V/octConcept: The input signal is turned into an ultrasonic PWM signal (~34kHz). The PWM is scaled to the desired amplitude and then filtered back down to the original signal.The twist: The PWM frequency can be lowered down into the audio spectrum and the frequency can be controlled via its 1V/oct input allowing for crazy waveshaping that tracks your melodies.The drive controls an innovative clipping method that does not rely on overdriving any circuitry and therefore results in distortions with a very defined character.The signal then goes into a 1 pole VCF/tone circuit that allows to keep things under some amount of control as the harmonics produced by this module can be very aggressive.With no input the module generates a simple square wave and therefore can be used a simple synth voice (VCO→VCA-VCF)DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1.

Kickall is a 6HP compact synth voice that features everything needed to make a big fat Kick sound. A stable VCO that tracks V/Oct, a couple of VCAs, envelopes for volume and pitch and an aggressive waveshaper.The module has been designed with a kick synthesis patch in mind.The audio path consists of a sinewave oscillator that passes across a Square Waveshaper and two VCA’s. The first VCA is for the Volume envelope. The second VCA is dedicated to general volume. Thanks to his CV input, it is possible o apply accents or affects the dynamics of notes. Feeding this input with audio generates a basic AM operation expanding the sonic range of the module.In the control path, KickAll has two envelope circuits to modulate the first VCA oscillator’s pitch. Both envelopes are fired at the same time manually or via dedicated trigger input.Through its Tune input, KickAll tracks eight octaves with high accuracy. Plug your favourite sequencer or CV source to create patterns out of the kick range, or feed it with an audio signal, for frequency modulation Fx.Features:• Accurate V/oct tracking.• CV controllable Sine to Square waveshaper.• CV controlled envelope decay for main VCA.• CV control over General volume (after VCA).• Wide range pitch envelope control.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

Djupviks Elektronik - Beneath The Bush Of Ghosts
sold out at the moment
Quad Lo-fi Looping SamplerBeneath the Bush of Ghosts is a 26hp Quad Lo-fi sampler based on the ISD1820 IC chip which is an old answering machine chip. This module is inspired by several other projects based on the ISD1820 chip. Each of the four channels are identical to each other with some sneaky normalisation going on between the channels for extra fun!There is a mix output which combines all the dry inputs with the sampler outputs, while the individual outs of each channel only contain the sampler output. Each individual output is cross modulated with the channel next to it in pairs, so 1-2 modulate each other and 3-4 the same way. Each output is also normalled to the following input, 1-2-3-4 and 4 goes back to input 1. This means you can do generation loss (i.e. disintegrating loops) with some clever patching. Each channel has a filter with lowpass to the left and high pass to the right, as well as a pitch knob with a dedicated cv input and attenuator. There is also a dedicated trig input for each channel, and control buttons for the following functions: record in, momentary play and full play of the sample. The trig inputs need a +5v gate to operate. Samples can be played on loop by engaging the ‘Loop’ switch at the top of each channel.Recording instructions: In order to record you need to turn the loop switch off, set the pitch to around the 10 to 2 o’clock (you can experiment with this), the CV knob will usually influences the sample speed so make sure it is fully CCW. Insert an input signal (or use the looping sampler next to it) and hit record, the LED will turn off while recording, and light up again when the memory of the chip is full. It’s a simple as that!DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module.

Djupviks Elektronik - Shakti
sold out at the moment
No Input Feedback MixerShakti contains no less than 3 different feedback loops in a very small 4HP package. There are 2 internal loops represented by the pots FEEDBACK and FEEDBACK II.Where FEEDBACK is a normal signal, FEEDBACK II is an inverted signal and RECEIVE is an external path (one that you send out from the module, through any other modules of your choice and then back again).When working with feedback all three of these will intermingle fast which means both FEEDBACK pots and RECEIVE knobs will affect each other. A filter is attached to the first feedback path but since all signals will intermingle in this circuit (it is a mixer after all) the filter will affect all three paths.Starting with the knob in the middle, it has a lowpass filter to the right and high pass to the left. OUTPUT I contains the inverted signal whereas OUTPUT II contains the normal signal. Shakti can be used as a stereo module since the 2 outputs can differ drastically at times.!! WARNING !!

Ginko Synthese - Seeds
sold out at the moment
The SEEDS is a complex powerful 8 bit oscillator and can be used as a complete synthvoice.On the sound-design side you might notice some 90's popular music influences. There are two reasons for that. First of all; those sounds are a natural match for the rather modest (8 bit, 16MHz) Atmel chip on the Arduino Nano we're using. That music was made using digital synthesizers using the processors available at the time, and those had to make the most of the chips available at the time, which were quite comparable to the Nano. The second reason is that those sounds are a lot of fun. Once that link became clear it became more a of a guiding principle than a potential problem; it seems more sensible to lean into such links than it is to resist them.The Arduino in the SEEDS kit is already programmed, but in case you need to re-install the firmware you need the Arduino IDE installed on your computer and install the CH340 driver to communicate with the Arduino Nano. The latest Arduino IDE can be downloaded from the Arduino website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software The CH340 driver can be found here: https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.htmlThe firmware will be updated regularly so you might want to keep an eye on it to get fresh sounds in your SEEDS every now and than.Features:• The original “Grains” sound.

Chord Organ is the easiest way to get chords from a modular synth!• It's perfectly possible to create chords on a modular synth, but its a pain - lots of tuning and messing about. I wanted to create something as simple as a home organ with chord buttons. Chord Organ is exactly that; the top knob chooses a chord shape, the bottom a root note.• The full story of Chord Organ, including how it was inspired by a Bontempi Organ found in the street, is in this article over on Medium.• Chord Organ and Radio Music are identical modules; you can convert one to the other by installing new firmware over USB - details on how to install the firmware - and go back just as easily.• This video shows what you can do with a Chord Organ in a simple little case. Here the chord shape and root note are sequenced by an expanded Turing Machine and filtered through a God's Box Humpback Filter.• The top knob chooses the chord shape (Major, Minor, Drop 3 9th). The bottom knob chooses the root note. Both can be CV controlled.• The latest firmware now includes:• A choice of 12 waveforms (the original just had four) Program chords by uploading MIDI files Easy to use configuration page. Alternative tuning support by dropping standard Scala files onto the SD card (installation details).• There’s a long history of press-button-to-get-chord instruments; accordions, the Suzuki Omnichord, the Autoharp, or all those auto-accompaniment electronic keyboards that you used to see.Basically Chord Organ is a new firmware for the Music Thing Modular Radio Music module. It gives the module a completely different function. Instead of playing samples from the SD card, it synthesises chords. This is the full Chord Organ kit with dedicated Chord Organ silver Alu panel and button.Note: you need to purchase a MicroSD card and a Micro-B USB Cable elsewhere to set up this module. The Micro-B cables are the smallest type shipped with Kindles and many Android phones. You also need a card reader to write files to the SD card, many laptops and desktops already have them built in now. The very cheap $2 MicroSD cards are not worth the trouble they will cause you, buy genuine SanDisk or Kingston branded MicroSD cards from Amazon or elsewhere. 32Gb maximum… that’s 108 hours of lossless audio in 16bit 44.1khz.

Music Thing Modular - Magnetophon
available
1) Magnetophon is a cassette player without the transport mechanism — a mono cassette head in the panel and a NAB equalised amplifier circuit, this is a tool for experiments with tape.2) Magnetophon is a tool for experiments with tape. Try rubbing old cassette tapes on the panel, or attach a head on a wire to recreate Nam June Paik’s Random Access or Laurie Anderson’s Tape-Bow Violin.3) NAB stands for National Association of Broadcasters. Their Reel-to-Reel Standard of 1965 specifies how tape heads should be amplified. If you plug a tape head into a microphone pre-amp, you get a very tinny sound with no low frequencies at all. Tape playback amplifiers (like the one in this module) boost bass by up to 10dB at 16Hz, while cutting highs by up to 20dB at 20kHz. Tape recorders apply the opposite curve when recording to tape.4) Don't expect a handheld cassette head rubbing against free-running tape to sound very hi-fi. It turns out all that head alignment and bias adjustment stuff wasn't BS after all.5) When experimenting with normal cassette tapes, a few things to remember: Stereo tapes carry four signal tracks; Left & Right Forward, and Left & Right Backward. So expect a bit of chaos.6) I've experimented with spoken word and language cassettes, forgetting that a decent proportion of them is just silence between words.7) If you have a reel-to-reel tape recorder, you can use an external tape head in a binder clip as a holder for tape loops. This will create a second output from the loop. It's likely to be MUCH lower fidelity than the main tape recorder output, but can sound really interesting mixed with the original signal (very Brian Eno tape loop-ish). Here's a quick demo of this technique from Brighton Modular Meet.8) The tape head inside the panel is fairly impractical for tape use, but can potentially be used for playing the magnetic strips on credit cards, MetroCards and the like. It will also pick up any electromagnetic noise and interference within your case (from switching power supplies, digital modules, colour-changing LEDs and the like).9) This is a fairly primitive and very high-gain circuit. In some situations, particularly when using the internal head, the circuit can oscillate. At audio frequencies this will sound like a whine. At frequencies above human hearing, it can just sound like silence, which drowns out whatever signals the tape head is trying to amplify. There is an empty spot for an extra capacitor on the PCB (C7). If you're having problems, try a small capacitor there; maybe 470pf, 1nf or more. Higher values will reduce the overall high frequency response. When using the external head, the capacitance of the cable seems to reduce the problem.10) This is a fairly simple build, but a rather exotic module.

sold out at the moment
1) Radio Music is a virtual radio module, so it behaves a bit like a radio. It is designed to be a source of unexpected audio, not a drum loop player or a sample mangler. That said, plenty of people enjoyed it for playing drum loops or mangling samples.2) Radio Music has been a popular DIY project since 2014, and has been used by Chris Carter, Russell Haswell, Richard Devine, and Robin Rimbaud.3) In 2017, the module's firmware was completely rewritten and updated, bringing new features including pitch shifting, .wav file support and a new way to configure settings on the module. You can download the latest firmware here, which will run on any Radio Music module.4) On the same site you can configure your Radio Music, changing various internal settings.5) It's a well documented project, with a lengthy Radio Music Wiki and an active issues list for people seeking help with a build.6) The wiki also contains a huge suggested audio bank containing lots of interesting things.7) Like a radio, the module works on a series of banks and stations. Each of the 16 banks can contain many different stations. Each station is an audio file stored in a folder on the SD card. Choose a bank by pressing and holding the RESET switch. Choose a station by turning the STATION knob or plugging a voltage into Station.8) Because the audio streams from the SD card, it can handle long files easily. In the default setting, it switches between long recordings just as if they were radio stations — as if the audio was playing in the background.9) Radio Music runs on a Teensy 3.1 (or 3.2) microcontroller, which is programmed by USB and runs a very well documented Arduino-like language, so it's easy to hack.10) There are multiple alternative firmwares for Radio Music documented in the github, and on Voltage Control Lab including:- Chord Organ is just an alternative firmware for Radio Music, but is also available as a separate module. You can turn a RM into a CO (or vice versa) at any time using a normal Micro USB cable.- Telharfauxnium is an additive synthesis firmware.- James Carruthers has written several different firmwares, including a cool 808 drum machine- I often use this Loop Divider firmware to sync everything to loops in a small case.Note: you need to purchase a MicroSD card and a Micro-B USB Cable elsewhere to set up this module. The Micro-B cables are the smallest type shipped with Kindles and many Android phones. You also need a card reader to write files to the SD card, many laptops and desktops already have them built in now. The very cheap $2 MicroSD cards are not worth the trouble they will cause you, buy genuine SanDisk or Kingston branded MicroSD cards from Amazon or elsewhere. 32Gb maximum… that’s 108 hours of lossless audio in 16bit 44.1khz. Total file limit per card is 1200 files.Download the latest software here – http://polyfather.com/radio_musicDIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module.

Neutral Labs - Elmyra 2 (Desktop)
available
This is the standalone version of Elmyra 2. Elmyra 2 is a 4-voice digital/analog hybrid platform for microtonal sonic exploration, capable of creating anything from lush ambient soundscapes to gritty droning textures and shrieking noises, available as a 42 HP Eurorack module or semi-modular desktop synth. With 31 modulation targets, 4 polymetric sequencers, delay, additional per-voice effects, a choice of various filters, as well as onboard LFOs and utilities, it is essentially a purpose-built small modular system in itself. A set of preset cards (included) or electronic components like capacitors or diodes can be plugged into the front panel in order to change the sound character.Features:• 4 independent voices activated by touch or CV• wavetable-based complex oscillator engine, up to 12 oscillators in total, 1V/octave compatible• chromatic mode makes chords and harmonic sounds possible, microtonal scales supported• 41 patch points• 31 modulation targets• touchpads with analog envelopes that can be used as modulation sources• resonant filter switchable between:• boomy and aggressive multimode 2-pole state variable filter (low-pass, band-pass, high-pass)• creamy 4-pole low-pass ladder filter• delay with unhealthy amounts of feedback• lo-fi reverb• analog OUCH circuit: a unique combination of destructive distortion, waveshaping and filtering• sonic character can be customised by using special preset cards (set of 4 included) or components like diodes that can be plugged into the front panel• preset cards can be used with other Neutral Labs modules• external audio can be processed via audio input• 9 per-voice modulations and effects:• unison detune• dual sub-oscillators• saturation• bitmangler• sample rate reduction• noise• high-pass filter• low-pass filter• 2 LFOs: 1 sine, 1 complex morphable• 4 sequencers with arbitrary step length per voice (up to 128), allows polymetric structures• delay time and LFOs can be clock-synced or unsynced (tap tempo is also possible)• utilities• dual attenuator/buffered multiple/voltage generator• CV summing circuit• case made of plant-based bioplastic and native German oakwood• boutique synth handmade in GermanyDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. All SMD parts are pre-soldered, only trough-hole parts to solder.
