  1. Chaos and Creativity: Unleashing Eurorack Madness with Clank Chaos and Tiptop Audio MixZ

    Unleash chaos and creativity in your Eurorack system with the powerful combination of Clank Chaos and Tiptop Audio MixZ modules. Clank Chaos is a six-channel aleatoric brain that generates a continuous stream of gates and voltages, allowing you to quickly finalize your idea from a chaotic mood to a controlled and determined one. With features like independent probability, width, swing, ratcheting, time control, and the option to use internal or external random generators, Chaos offers immense flexibility for various applications. On the other hand, the Tiptop Audio MixZ module is a four-channel mixer with individual fader pots and filter routing switches. Each audio line can be sent to the VCF, BPF, or both, and incoming CV signals can modulate the filter frequency cutoff. Together, these modules offer endless possibilities for sound experimentation and modulation in your Eurorack setup.

  3. Get Serious with the G-Storm Electro SH5-VCF: An Eurorack Adaptation of the Roland SH-5 Dual Filter and Mixer

    The G-Storm Electro SH5-VCF is an all-analog Eurorack module that adapts the Roland SH-5 mixer and dual filter. It features a voltage-controlled filter with a unique design, a separate bandpass filter with a proprietary voltage-controlled feedback path, and a four-channel mixer. The SH5-VCF uses all discrete components and op-amps and has three CV modulation options. The article emphasizes that the filter experience is best complemented with a VCA and recommends the G-Storm Electro 2xVCA. However, readers must note that the module is unavailable until 2024 due to parts shortage.
