Example Usage

In this novice-level example, we will explore how to combine the Nekyia Circuits Sosumi, Paratek СЛИМИКС 4 Mixer Unit, and G-Storm Electro SH5-VCF modules in your Eurorack setup.

  1. Connect your audio source to one of the input channels on the Paratek СЛИМИКС mixer unit.
  2. Adjust the volume, pan, and mute settings on the channel to your liking.
  3. Take the output from the Paratek mixer and connect it to one of the audio inputs on the G-Storm Electro SH5-VCF module.
  4. Experiment with sending the audio signal through the VCF, BPF, or both filters for different tonal effects.
  5. Use the CV inputs on the SH5-VCF to modulate the filter frequency cutoff using external control voltages.
  6. Optionally, add clocked modulation from the Acid Rain Technology Maestro module to create evolving control voltage streams synced with your audio signal.
  7. Experiment with different waveform outputs on the Maestro module to modulate parameters on the SH5-VCF and create dynamic sound textures.

By combining these modules creatively, you can unlock a world of sonic possibilities in your Eurorack system. Experiment, play around, and let your creativity flow through the waveform wizardry of these modules.

To create a mesmerizing sonic landscape, let's combine the capabilities of the Maestro clocked modulation controller, the SH5-VCF dual filter and mixer, the Sosumi dual low pass gate, and the SLIMIX 4-channel stereo mixer unit.

We'll start by routing audio signals from different sources into the inputs of the SLIMIX mixer. Adjust the individual volume, mute, and pan settings on each of the four mono channels to sculpt the audio blend to your liking. Experiment with different colors of knobs and buttons to enhance the visual appeal of your setup.

Next, send the mixed audio output from the SLIMIX into the input of the SH5-VCF. Utilize the dual filters (VCF and BPF) to shape the frequency content of the audio signal. Engage the resonance controls to add character and depth to the sound. By using the CV modulation inputs, you can dynamically modulate the filter cutoff frequencies to create evolving textures.

Now, route the filtered audio from the SH5-VCF into the Sosumi dual low pass gate. Take advantage of the vactrol-based circuits to introduce organic plucky and percussive elements to the sound. Use the ping input to strike the vactrol gates and add rhythmic accents to the audio output.

Finally, connect the outputs of the Sosumi and any remaining audio sources to additional channels on the SLIMIX mixer. Blend these signals with the rest of the mix to further enrich the sonic tapestry you've crafted.

By synchronizing the clock outputs from the Maestro with the modulation inputs of the SH5-VCF and Sosumi, you can create evolving control voltage sequences that interact with the audio signals in a musical and synchronized manner. Experiment with different clocked waveforms, looping patterns, and one-shot triggers to add movement and liveliness to your composition.

In this setup, the combination of these Eurorack modules unlocks a realm of sonic possibilities, allowing you to sculpt intricate soundscapes that evolve and breathe in perfect harmony. Get ready to embark on a journey of waveform wizardry with the Maestro, SH5-VCF, Sosumi, and SLIMIX in your Eurorack arsenal.

Further Thoughts

In this expert-level example, we will combine the Nekyia Circuits Sosumi dual Low Pass Gate, the Paratek СЛИМИКС 4-channel stereo mixer unit, and the G-Storm Electro SH5-VCF Roland SH-5 Dual Filter Adaptation to create a unique and dynamic sound processing chain.

We will patch the audio signal from an oscillator into the Sosumi for its organic plucky and percussive sound shaping capabilities. The Sosumi's ping input will add dynamic accents to the sound.

Next, we will route the output of the Sosumi into one of the mono channels of the СЛИМИКС mixer unit. We can adjust the volume, pan, and even mute the Sosumi channel independently to blend it with other audio sources.

From the mixer unit, we will take the mixed output and feed it into the G-Storm Electro SH5-VCF. This module provides us with versatile filtering options, including high pass, low pass, and band-pass configurations. We can experiment with the filter routing switches to sculpt the sonic character further.

For modulation, we can use the Maestro clocked modulation controller to introduce evolving voltages to modulate the filter cutoff frequencies on the SH5-VCF. The Maestro's synchronized clock system will ensure that the modulations are always in perfect sync with the audio signal processing chain.

By combining these modules creatively, we can achieve a rich and evolving sound palette with precise control over each element of the signal flow. Experimentation with patching configurations and modulation sources will unlock endless possibilities for sonic exploration and creative expression in your Eurorack system.
