The next time someone tells you math isn’t magical, introduce them to the Single Sideband-Suppressing Carrier Modulator–or SSSCM for short. Based on 20th century broadcast technology, the SSSCM uses a modulator signal to suppress one sideband of the carrier signal,…
New v2 BOM and schematic for Thunderdome features CV input to control the modulation speed of the internal oscillator that drives the switch. Learn more.
Testing out a new single sideband suppressing carrier modulator demodulator module, with CV input. It’s like magic. Input two sounds: one carrier and one modulator. Math happens. Something gets either added or subtracted, then added to something else. Out comes…
For maximum atmosphere and relaxation. The Mechlabrat found existing online resources lacking in terms of schematics for these common reverberation components. Here are some simple starting points to build your own echoey adventures. Discover more.
How far down does the inferno go? Well… Ours isn’t as deep as Dante’s, but seven levels is still pretty deep. Inferno is a frequency divider that creates square wave outputs at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7…
Just added some new demos for the Thunderdome and Destructo Disc modules, further demonstrating some of the patching ideas outlined for each module. Look out next month for a series of low-effort/lo-fi reverb modules.
This module is a little fuzzy. Bears are fuzzy. My favorite bear is Fozzie the Bear. Fozzie sounds like fuzzy. Fozzie likes to tell bad jokes and celebrate his bad jokes with his trademark saying “Wocka wocka wocka”. And that’s…
Named after the Mighty Krillin’s unstoppable sawblade of doom, the Destructo Disc is a sawtooth oscillator gone mad. Two waveshapers and an array of 555-based saw-width modulators transform a basic sawtooth waveform into a vast array of aggro sounds. Discover…
Two sounds enter; one sound leaves. That’s the basic concept of this module. Built around a DG419 analog switch, the Thunderdome uses an internal square-wave oscillator to switch between two input signals at audio rate, producing sounds ranging from atonal…
Make up your mind, already. Ambivalence Drive is here to help. Ambivalence Drive uses control voltage to switch between two input signals, routing to a single output. Use the toggle to choose between a constant 5v reference or a variable…
