I've just posted the long awaited Ian Fritz 5-Pulser / Analog XOR, and another round of Quad LFOs on Ebay, in case anyone is interested.
Thanks everyone for your support and patience!  _________________ Doug Slocum

Hi John,
I saw your post in my announcement thread, and got mixed signals.
Down deep, I felt that you might object to my somewhat blatant ads on the forum. Not sure if you have a problem with that or not. Guilty as charged though, but I've asked to question several times on Muffs and have never heard anything but positive.
I may be misreading that, but if not, let's please discuss.
Respectfully,
Doug _________________ Doug Slocum

That's an understatement, Not only did Doug offer to deliver a DDVCO to my house, he offered to help me tear down & set up my system when I changed
cabinets... 20 years ago I aquired an old (even back then) Moog Modular system. No manual or internet to help me figure it all out.
I cold called Doug after seeing his name in the back a Memorymoog user's manual as a moog repair tech in my area. Doug was soon at my house showing me how to use that mythical legendary beast. I've dealt with some great folks in the world of synth's.. But I have to say, they don't come any
nicer than Doug Slocum  |

I think John was merely making a humorous aside. Correct me if I am wrong... _________________ My mouth laughs, but my heart weeps...

Finally a 5U module with this waveshaper was back for long enough for me to get one. If only the quad LFO module had triangle...
Expensive, but hopefully the "XOR" section will prove to be more useful than I imagine. |

LOL! Doug, after talking to you on the phone I finally remembered to hunt down this thread to see what you were talking about! hehe, as I said on the phone, I merely wanted to show some support for you since I've enjoyed hanging out with you at NAMM etc but since I've never owned or even tried out one of your modules, I couldn't comment on those so I just wanted to comment on your personality. I think you are a fun, friendly and helpful guy!  _________________ | My Facebook | My Soundcloud |My Vimeo | My YouTube | My GrooveShark | |

Has anyone got this yet, love to hear a demo?
I have had my eye on the % pulser for a while, was going to go the MOTM route, but as Doug has given it to us in MU that would suit much better! |

Looking forward to trying this one out, and it should be arriving sometime this week.

I just want to add that a) Doug is a great guy [he drove me back from Moogfest in Asheville to New Jersey and all I had to do was fill up his gas tank 3 times and buy him a steak dinner] but seriously, b) he puts so much attention to detail into his modules from layout to circuit design to support; very inspiring. Even though we are MU here in this sub-forum, take a look at his Euro panels and layouts, works of art, I say. _________________ Beware of programmers with screwdrivers... |

Not quite as clinical or dry, but a use of the 5 Pulser in a drone mode (along with lots of other modules).
It is the didgeridoo-sounding portion of the drone starting about 1:40 into the piece. The 5 Pulser is very capable of these vocal sounding timbre among other things.
A long-winded explanation of the patch is below the video.
A realtime modular synthesizer piece. Ambient drone with pitched tones. Faster sequences done with two CGS01 sub oscillator/harmonic sequencer modules. A third CGS01 was used for subharmonic drone sounds.
The background drone is a single Oakley vco. One channel is saw wave through an Oakley Discontinuity wavefolder, to an Ian Fritz 5 Pulser, to a J Haible Tau Phaser and finally into a DD400 digital delay. The second portion of the drone is the same Oakley vco's sine wave out into a CatGirl Synth CGS01 sub oscillator. I pulled up some sub octaves to send through a Synthetic Sound Labs 1310 digital delay which was voltage controlled by a MegaOhm Audio LFO2.
Other static repeating sequences are various voices from Q960, Q119, STG time suite and Moon 554 & 563.
The faster broken repeating line in the mid section is a third CGS01 in harmonic sequencer mode. I got the control voltages from another MegaOhm Audio LFO2 which was reset synchronized to itself. The lower LFO section sent a slow square wave into the upper section which was a faster triangle wave. This output along with the slower sine wave out went to the CGS01. The output B of the CGS01 was mixed with a B output from another CGS01 with faster subdivisions and sent through a vca which was lfo controlled. This set up a varying fast and slow pattern which repeated due to the sync of the LFO2 against the vca filtered 2nd CGS01. All voltages from the CGS01's were sent through several Q171 quantizers before going to the vco's.
The patch utilized a variation on an idea from Hans Munz (a.k.a consumed) in a muffwiggler topic from a few years back. Essentially it was an FM and AM patch and you can see me mixing in the AM into it and changing the AM octave properties on the Q106 vco.
FX included Strymon ElCapistan, Blue Sky, Lexicon MX200, Behringer DD400 and TC Electronics D-Two.
The Oakley vco, discontinuity wavefolder and 5 Pulser were all vc modified from an Ian Fritz ChaQuO chaos generator oscillator. A subtle but big effect there. _________________ OpenTape
