In this article, we explore the spooky sounds that can be achieved by combining several Eurorack modules. First, we have the Pittsburgh Modular Dynamics Controller Bat, which is both a resonant filter and a VCA. It offers a modern interpretation of Don Buchla's lowpass gate, providing a more organic and complex sound. Next, we have the 2hp Catnip, a DSP multi-effects module that pairs perfectly with the Cat Synthesis VCO. This module adds a haunting touch to your sounds, with voltage-controlled cat sounds and various effects. The Takaab 2LPG V2 is a dual passive low pass gate that creates organic and plucky sounds. Its unique response time and filtering capabilities make it a versatile module for spooky sounds. The MRG Kick is a clone of the TR-808 Bass Drum with some additional features. It offers two trigger inputs with different accent levels, allowing for dynamic variations in kick accents. Lastly, we have the Ryk Modular Night Rider, which combines a sequencer and a filter-bank. This module offers four multi-model filters with a four-channel modulation sequencer, allowing for formant animation and dynamic sound shaping. Overall, these modules come together to create haunting and spine-chilling sounds in your Eurorack setup.

The Pittsburgh Modular Dynamics Controller Bat is a versatile low pass gate that works both as a resonant filter and a VCA. Its unique lowpass gate circuit mimics the natural characteristics of sounds and produces a more complex and organic sound. Unlike the original LPG, the Dynamics Controller Bat has a variable response time and resonance, making it completely controllable. The module is a modern reinterpretation of Don Buchla’s concept of the LPG and provides the best of both worlds - a natural and alive sound with sustain control.
read moreA Filter of Crows: The Multi-Mode Overdrive Filter That Redefines Analog Synthesis
The Pittsburgh Modular A Filter of Crows is a multi-mode overdrive filter module that combines three analog technologies to redefine analog synthesis. The module features an ultra-high-gain preamp circuit that can provide up to 75x variable gain overdrive without sounding harsh, a 12db state variable "no-dead-spot" PGH filter with manually selectable and stackable filter responses (lowpass, bandpass, and highpass), and a resonant stability circuit that enables the PGH filter to provide near-infinite resonance without slipping into self-oscillation unless the user wants it to. The result is a module that creates rich, complex, and musically satisfying sounds.
