The foxing-hour-gamma is a unique and versatile Eurorack module that offers a variety of features and creative capabilities. This module stands out from other function generators due to its Dual Log and Expo functions for two different inputs, as well as its SumGAMMA feature that combines the square and log outputs to create unique circle and star outputs.
One application of this module is in shaping control voltages, as square and log functions can be used to create soft-edged shapes and adjust luma signal gamma. The Circle and Star outputs can be patched into keyers for hard edges or into faders to fade between each shape, providing further creative possibilities for eurorack setups.
The current consumption of the foxing-hour-gamma has been verified with the Joranalogue Test 3 V/mA Meter, ensuring reliable power consumption and stable performance.
In summary, the foxing-hour-gamma is a powerful and creative tool for any eurorack setup, offering the ability to shape control voltages, adjust signal gamma, and create unique circle and star outputs. Its versatility and reliable performance make it a must-have for any electronic music expert looking to take their sound to the next level.
Example Usage
If you're new to using the foxing-hour-gamma module, a novice-level usage example would be to patch two audio oscillators into the dual log and expo inputs. You can tweak the log and expo controls to shape the waveforms of the oscillators. Then, patch the summed outputs into a mixer or filter to hear the combined output of both oscillators. You can experiment with different combinations of log and expo functions to create unique sounds and textures.
An intermediate-level usage of the foxing-hour-gamma module is to use it to create evolving textures in a patch. By patching a sequencer or LFO into the dual inputs, you can use the square and logarithm functions to shape the curve of the control voltage. This will create a variety of unique timbres that can be mixed together using the SumGAMMA output. By patching the Circle and Star outputs into a mixer or filter, you can blend and shape the timbres to create a rich and evolving texture. Use the horizontal and vertical triangle ramps to control the shape of the output and the SumGAMMA to mix them together. The result is a dynamic, ever-changing soundscape that can add depth and intrigue to any musical composition.
Further Thoughts
In order to create a soft-edged shape from a ramp signal, patch the output of a ramp generator into one of the inputs of the foxing-hour-gamma module, and set the function to logarithmic. Next, patch the output of an LFO into the other input of the module, and set the function to exponential. Finally, patch one of the summed outputs into a fader module and adjust the fader to fade between the two shapes. The resulting waveform will have a smooth transition between the two shapes, creating a unique, dynamic sound.
