A favorite “West Coast” module that synthesists of all tastes should check out is the LPG: the low-pass gate, which acts like a VCA but with a filter element that also dampens the high frequencies. The classic application of an LPG is to tame the harmonics created by...
In the image above, the blue trace on the Mordax DATA is the original sine wave (which has just a single fundamental harmonic) from an Expert Sleepers Disting, and the green trace is the nicely-rounded “folded” output from the Serge Wave Multipliers. The...
The Roland System-500 530 Dual VCA is a modern Eurorack adaption (via Josh Holley at Malekko) of the old System-100 130 Dual VCA module. In the first of two videos, I demonstrate taking advantage of both its audio input and control voltage mixers, explore its internal...
I created a set of four movies showing off the various capabilities of the Rossum Electro-Music Evolution Variable Character Filter. The first movie reviews its roots as a 4-pole low-pass transistor ladder design with roots back in the E-mu Modular Model 2100 VCF. I...
Here is a set of four movies on the Rossum Electro-Music Morpheus Stereo Morphing Z-Plane Filter. The first one below demonstrates a number of presets in a “typical” enveloped-frequency filter patch, as well as performing the additional Morph and Transform properties....
