Rack of the Month - October 2024

This system is set up for droning or to be controlled externally, so we have no need for gate generators or sequencers. Instead we have a few tools for controlling timbres and dynamics. 

The Black Dual EG is our envelope source here, and allows for holding and can double as a simple LFO when looping the envelope.

Our Black VCO is the main tone source and provides several outputs that we can mix as we like, plus some modulation inputs.

The Octasource makes another appearance as a plethora of linked modulation sources. Perfect for controlling the various bands of the Filterbank!

The Fusion VCA/Ringmod/Waveshaper provides us with some basic amplification functions while also adding some tube harmonics. With a saw wave passing through it, we'll get a very harmonically rich signal that is perfect for filtering.

The ResonantFB is a powerful filterbank also capable of acting as a sound source, a traditional multi-mode filter or a parametric EQ. We also include the FBEX expander to get immediate access to the levels of each of the bands. Even and Odd outputs can be used to turn the input signal stereo. Which works very well with...

The Black Stereo Reverb, in its second Rack of the Month appearance! This thing just sounds so good and can turn even a bland patch into something lush and detailed with the clockwise turn of the wet/dry knob.

 

At the output once again is the Black Stereo Output, mixing all our sound sources and giving us solid output connections.

Stay tuned for some videos of this machine in action on our youtube channel and social media pages. Or, come visit us at the shop to put your own patch together!

Until next month!
