Vostok Instruments - Halo
Product information "Vostok Instruments - Halo"
Halo is a compact quad LFO for Eurorack systems, designed to deliver a wide range of modulation sources in just 10HP. With four analog CV-controlled LFO channels and up to 16 simultaneous outputs, it provides everything from classic cyclic movement to complex logic-based modulation.
Each channel offers manual and CV control over frequency, with selectable range settings covering slow cycles of more than two minutes up to audio-rate modulation at 80Hz. Triangle and square outputs are available per channel, giving you immediate access to classic LFO shapes for modulation, rhythm, movement and animation.
The dedicated Logic section expands Halo far beyond a standard quad LFO. Each channel pair is processed through analog boolean circuits, generating AND, OR and XOR outputs, plus a mixed signal. This adds eight extra modulation outputs and creates evolving, interrelated patterns from simple source waves.
Features:
• Four analog CV-controlled LFO channels.
• Manual and CV-controlled frequency per channel.
• Triangle and square outputs for each LFO.
• Selectable frequency range from over 2 minutes to 80Hz.
• Dedicated Logic section with AND, OR, XOR and MIX outputs.
• Eight additional logic-based modulation outputs.
• Up to 16 simultaneous modulation signals in 10HP.
• Compact Vostok layout with immediate hands-on control.

Product Safety Information
Please read this safety guide before installation or use.
Important Notice & Intended Use
• This kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis.
• Assembly, including soldering, is required.
• Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation.
• The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
• Use outside this scope may result in malfunction, damage, or safety risks.
General Warnings
Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.
Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.
Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.
Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.
Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.
Assembly Requirements
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.
Testing
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system. When the unit has malfunctions due to incorrect assembly, the entire Eurorack system might be damaged. It's a good idea to test it in a separate case with only that single module.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.
Installation and Use
• Mount securely in a Eurorack case using the provided screws.
• Use only the included or manufacturer-recommended power cable.
• Connect only when the power is off.
• Follow the module's user guide for instructions on operation. Do not exceed the input/output limits specified.
Responsibility
Users are solely responsible for proper assembly and testing. Contact manufacturer support for assistance if needed.
Environmental Safety
• Dispose of the module, its components, and packaging in accordance with local electronic waste regulations.
Liability Disclaimer
• The manufacturer or distributor is not responsible for any injury, damage, or malfunction resulting from improper installation, use, or modification of this product.
