The kareishuu vco sounds great, as do the NLC phasers, filters and LPG, and i love the delaynomore. What you get depends on how you use them.
As for CV: Attentuation of cv makes a big difference to how modules ‘sound’- chaotic cv sources can be tamed to a defined range.

I found the omnipresent input attenuators kind of frustrating for more tame sounds. I usually end up with them all the way down.

I’m considering building a Noiro-ze VCF+A, mainly as I’m fascinated by Three Sisters but have a fairly strict DIY-only rule for my rack and am not quite at the stage of being able to design my own complex multi-filter module. Can the resonance be pushed into self-oscillation to use as a sine wave oscillator? Does it track at all? Do you get one sine or three?

Something I haven’t been able to figure out about the Squid Axon: How do the other inputs work? Usually I see ASRs with one input, sampled to successive outs with the clock pulse. Do IN2 and IN3 get…added to IN1? How? At OUT2 and OUT3?

I thought I’d figure this out experimentally when I finished making my own, but I’ve messed it up somehow—my first SMD build—and OUT3 is throwing me a constant -10V and OUT4 is giving nothing. So that makes it hard to figure out what the right behavior is supposed to be. I’m assuming I fried one of the surface mount ICs when I tried to remove it, having stuck it on backwards by accident. So, until I get a replacement (assuming that is indeed the problem), this thing remains a beautiful mystery!

I have the wavefolder and with a well attenuated cv input it’s got a nicely charactered fold sound

#192

Are there any consistent characteristics or qualities (like stutteryness, glitchiness, harsh noise, random/indeterminacy, abrasiveness, unpredictability, muddled mulchiness, etc.) to Let’s Splosh’s behavior? Can it be subtle, nuanced, rustly/windy, quiet, etc? Is it difficult to control? An obvious attractor is the unpredictability / indeterminate nature of it (or what it appears to do)

I keep coming back to Josh Mason’s Instagram video, the one that sounds a bit like Microstoria–thinking “hey, this thing could make my rig sound like Microstoria!” – obv. the bulk of sounds are from the modules used (harmonaig, morphagene, etc. etc.) - I realize it’s dependent on what you put into it / modulate with it. Just looking for more audio examples, or thoughts, opinions, impressions, etc. Any information is appreciated (!)

It is really lovely. Did it ever become a finished track @jwm?

#194

Let’s Splosh is really just a cluster of 8 difference rectifiers with four inputs and 16 outputs. You put signals in and it smashes them together in an array of different permutations. It doesn’t give you back anything you didn’t feed it in the first place.

it’s not complicated, but it can give rise to some wonderful CV sources. pseudo-random LFOs, crazy envelopes, etc. I highly recommend it!

#197

thanks! nah that was just a quick experiment to show that it could in fact be used for more, mmm, lets say, gentle applications. while the core idea of it is simple once you actually put your hands on it, it definitely can get away from you pretty fast. i’m not sure im comfortable enough with it to use it live, but i also haven’t spent tons and tons of time with as i’ve had other irons in other fires, as it were.

In my experience it did not resonate, track or sound much like Three Sisters at all. It was a bit too muted for my tastes.

@dan_derks has been using a Let’s Splosh, right? Maybe he has some additional perspective from the subtle side of NLC users (many of whom I would guess are in this thread).

it’s true! directly inspired by @jwm’s video up-thread. I’ve been using it for CV processing, mainly – it’s a wonderful way to turn mutled LFOs into a bizarro soup of their former selves, to redistribute across a patch. particularly dope for modulating 3Sis (both audio and control ins).

10/10. got mine from @mrgoop direct, if y’all are looking for a built option in the States.

Anyone tried GENiE? I’m torn between this and the Dual Neuron/Diff Rect.

#202

just received Vactrol PiLL and Bad Digital Filter Simulator PCBs, packaged in pages torn out from electronic engineering papers of course :smiley: Can’t wait to build, especially interested to try - as he suggests on the MW thread - using a colour-cycling or flickering LED on the PLL !

Has anybody built and or have thoughts on the Timbre module?

#204

I have built the original Single Thru hole version.

It’s a bit fiddly and noisy, and the build was okay. Nothing too difficult if you’ve done a bit of DIY before.

I really like the wave shaping that it does. Really gritty.

Nice, I thought that it looked like a pretty straightforward build and also affordable to source. I’m thinking I would be putting a sine wave into it, then out into a low pass gate to get some Buchla-esque sounds, so the noise might be pleasant. Torn between this or getting an Intellijel uFold, but I’m not sure how they compare.

#206

Some of the samples/discussion here might help!
