Voltage Research Laboratory Design

Two new features have been added to the Voltage Lab! The random CV and gate shift register is much cooler now. The percent chance of change is now adjustable from 10% to 90% chance. The percent chance of random is also voltage controllable! This adds a new dimension to the pseudo-random evolving CV and gate patterns available from the random outputs. 

Voltage Research Laboratory Hardware

Pittsburgh Modular manufacturing partner WMD is in the process of manufacturing the production prototype units. These units are built to set up and test the manufacturing process before the full production run.

Voltage Research Laboratory Documentation

The Voltage Research Laboratory web page will be turned on later today. At this point, it is basically a clone of the Kickstarter page. Pittsburgh Modular is also working on the user manual. The manual is a big project and will take a bit of time but it should be an indispensable tool in getting the most out of the instrument.  They have called it the Voltage Research Laboratory Encyclopedia.

Voltage Research Laboratory Workshop

Everyone pitched in last week to clean and reorganize Pittsburgh Modular HQ in preparation for the upcoming build. Pittsburgh Modular also added a small demo studio area for podcasting and audio production that Richard will start taking advantage of next week.

Whether you’re looking for long, slow changes or extended complex modulations, the Curve modulator can help you achieve the sound you’re after. And with a selection of loop modes, you can tailor the envelope to your specific needs. So whether you’re looking for a traditional envelope or something more unique, the Curve modulator is a great option.

LFO Table – Cycle through 256 LFO shapes in one modulator.

LFO Tables are a type of LFO that loads wavetables. This allows for a greater degree of control over the shape of the waveform, as well as the ability to create unique and complex shapes. When combined with the Random modulator, LFO Tables are incredibly powerful for crafting evolving generative patterns.

Creating your Own FX banks

There are plenty of videos on YT about FX-Aid, but one of its best features is the ability to pick your own favorite effects from a huge library that frequently grows. You can use a web-based editor (https://fxaid.app/), but you can also download a desktop version. After creating a firmware audio file, you can then ‘play’ the firmware into the module.

Use your laptop/phone for best results because the module expects line-level sound, and make sure it’s in airplane mode to avoid unwanted sound effects. The audio goes into the FX-Aid CV input or the FX-Aid XL SRR input. You can switch the module to upload mode by pressing the two little buttons for at least 10 seconds. Have fun! The module does not ‘brick’ when something goes wrong, you can simply press any button and try again. Have fun!

Weather Drones 1.5

Weather Drones started as a DIY project a few years ago but is now available as an affordable prebuilt module. Weather Drones is a great module for creating evolving drones, textures, and soundscapes, but it also responds to pitch very well. It has a mix out for the final result, but it also has separate noise, triangle, square, and fold outputs. It has a built-in low pass filter that can be modulated with the internal ‘helper’ oscillators which also accepts external modulation.

The final output has a ‘spread’ and ‘wavefolder’ knob to create all kinds of sounds, but its digital core really needs some external FX processing. Version 1.5 adds a built in VCA that can be modulated with an internal AD envelope generator.
