  2. Unleashing Sonic Possibilities with the Vostok Instruments Atlas: A Quad-Core Multimode Filter Wonder

    Unleashing Sonic Possibilities with the Vostok Instruments Atlas: A Quad-Core Multimode Filter Wonder is a blog article in the Effects & Processing category that explores the capabilities of the Vostok Instruments Atlas eurorack module. Atlas is a compact four-channel multimode filter and morphing scanner in 16HP, offering a big sound reminiscent of 80s Japanese classics. The module features technical improvements such as a better noise floor, accurate resonance compensation, and a daisy-chain input implementation for easier patching techniques like parallel filtering. With three filter modes available per channel - 4p-LP, 2p-HP, and 4p-BP, Atlas can cover a wide range of filtering techniques for filter sweeps and resonant patches. By exciting the inputs with fast trigger or gate signals, users can achieve TR-like drum sounds including deep kick drums, toms, and congas. Additionally, the CV-controlled Interpolating Scanner circuit allows for soft morphing between filter outputs, creating new shapes and timbres as it fades between channels.

  3. Exploring Sound Convergence: The Versatile Meridian Eurorack Module

    The article explores the Meridian Eurorack module, a versatile dual multimode filter array that offers users a wide range of options to shape and blend sounds. With four selectable filter types per side, four selectable filter modes per side, and additional effects including drive and phase shift, the Meridian allows for the creation of unique textures and sonic landscapes. The module's name conveys the idea of convergence and balance, while also emphasizing the separation and refinement of different sonic elements. It features independently adjustable cutoff, resonance, and contour parameters, as well as a ping function for dynamic control. The module can be used in serial or parallel routing configurations and can function as a stereo system or two independent mono channels. The article highlights the diverse filters available, including ladder, OTA, comb, and vocal formant, as well as the distinct phase shifter and drive effects. All key features can be modulated via CV inputs, allowing for customization and synchronization to tempo. Overall, the Meridian is designed for tweak-ability and performance, offering users a powerful tool for sound manipulation and exploration.
