Worng Electronics

Fair enough, and I’m not in the game of randomly criticising modules I’ve never used. For my personal set-up, I’m not currently thinking of using 20hp for it🙂

I guess cause it’s all jack sockets, I’m not used to seeing so much space inbetween.

If you ran a triple sloths into the vector space would that be, like, 17 sloths!?!?

Something like that:

based on what I know about the mixer module they’ll be announcing soon, I think there will be a lot more interest from the lines community in the days/weeks/months to come

Someones got an inside scoop

Dont forget about the cool little Bufftest! Buffered mult that acts as a cable tester too. Looks like thats no longer available.

I have a LRMSMSLR, which is nice. Im setting up a mixer section in a case today with LRMSMSLR, Nearness, MI Blinds and a Mixup. Nice little distributed ‘non traditional’ mixer section.

I sell synthesizers and synthesizer accessories.

And here it is:

“Please welcome the WORNG Electronics SoundStage. A stereo mixer module unlike any other, SoundStage helps you build your mix just by patching your voices in. Inputs are placed in the stereo field depending on their horizontal patch position left to right, and placed in the spectrum depending on vertical patch position, with carefully tuned analogue resonant filters to give definition to low, low mid, mid, high mid and high voices. Depth of filtering and output level are controlled with dedicated pots and CV, allowing creative uses of the controls. A prototype SoundStage will be demoed at Tokyo Festival of Modular and Kyoto Festival of Modular, come check it out and have a listen if you’re in this part of the world.”

Oooh, I’ll try to check that tomorrow…

[Oootini]

Wow that looks really unique!

[_mark]

Wow that looks very cool. Do you know how many HP?

[Starthief]

Oh, that’s clever

[caelmore]

20 characters of 14hp.

[marcus_fischer]

it is like a mega nearness

Such a cool concept for a module, love the controls/layout. I bet this plus LRMSMSLR could create some pretty spacious sounds with only a few sound elements. Hope to hear some demos at some point!

I love the LRMSMSLR for its concept, to bring a classic audio matrix trick to eurorack. Its something i use on a daily when eqing in my DAW, but never as extreme as in eurock domain. Eg. two slightly different filters flying in and out via lfos and their cancellations. Its really spectacular with overdriven VCA‘s!
Things i havent tested yet are MS i/o as sends/returns, someplace where you could have an entire microcosm in a delay and CV manipulation…great Name, great attitude

I tried the SoundStage at Tokyo Festival of Modular on Saturday and talked a bit with Mr Worng, whose name I now realized I forgot to ask (very nice person anyway).

He told me he used to do live sound for bands and was used to filtering/EQing instruments in a number of ways and that module kinda comes from that experience, plus the way the SP1200 has specific filters on its outputs (apparently someone wrote a detailed article about that).

The goal is to have an easy way to mix a number of sound sources and place them both in the stereo field and make them mix together nicely using filtering. There are about 20 filters in the module and I forgot the exact number but quite a bit of VCAs too.

It works well, and the depth control makes it go from unfiltered to filtered, with CV control. There will only be some minor changes before going in production (made by WMD in the US), for example the low-mid section will have one less jack so that there can be one fully centered, and some small adjustments.

It’s not mean to be a Mackie-like modular mixer but rather an useful tool to easily have different sounds sit together well when mixed. Really interesting module, and it pairs well with his LRMSLR module too…

I had a go on the soundstage at TFoM as well and was sold on it. I use nearness a lot, and this seems like a beefed up version with filtering and cv control.

The vector space is really cool too!

Any word on pricing? I’m pretty sold on this for my setup.

I asked about that but he wasn’t sure yet so I’d rather not mention anything related to this.

There are a lot of things going on in there despite the simple faceplate (many filters and VCAs) so it won’t be super cheap. But not insanely expensive either I think. It’s already got 2 PCBs to handle all that stuff. He mentioned that he was tempted to add some nice sounding soft clipping circuit to it but that would have meant having yet another PCB so that got cut .

Btw, as I mentioned Worng modules are built by WMD so that’s a good assurance of quality/etc. and that means shops should be able to get them easily…

Sure, fair enough.

I’m imagining some way of sending/fading multiple signals to multiple inputs on this. Not sure what module could do that though? Perhaps it’s a matrix thing or just a bank of panners? VC essential. Something like RxMx or QuBit Synapse but in reverse…
