Instruoducing: Instruō - àradh and tágh

Check out the full overviews here:
• Instruō - àradh Overview
• Instruō - tágh Overview
Announcement time!
Here are two new old modules :)
I have been trying to get these in production for quite some time now. Delays in supply chain forced these to the background for too long.
àradh is a new take on a transistor ladder filter and fills the role of fat "East" Coast subtractive filter as well as adding a dedicated low-pass gate (LPG) to the Instruō range.
Plus some other quirks!
tágh is not a V2 but is in fact the OG module that I had in mind for the name a long time ago.
It's a 4HP powerhouse of modulation sources and clock utilities.
Please check out the full Overview videos for both àradh and tágh now :)
In addition I would like to introduce the first production range of Instruō spacer panels.
Available now are 1HP, 2HP, 4HP, 6HP, 8HP, 10HP, 12HP and a very special limited run of 14HP.
The 14HP panel features a glorious picture of my Greyhound Winston wearing his jammies.

"GAL is a registered charity in Scotland (SC031027) that rescues and rehomes Greyhounds and Lurchers throughout Scotland. "
A donation of £7.50 will be made to GAL for every panel sold from the limited batch.
Hope to see you all at Superbooth this year!
Cheers

Simply the greatest in the game. Like every module is the dopest it could possibly be. Also using all black and gold cables is just the best thing ever.

[@instruo]

Thank you so much! ☺ The only drawback with patching all black and gold is re-tracing steps in a patch! But it's worth it!

[@JoeLaRocca]

@@instruo yeah the uniform cables is like a "no-look pass" in basketball. Its style points. Then on top of all of it you support rescue dogs. Good job brother!

[@JoeLaRocca]

@@instruo I own a T-sL v2, Och8, Vinca, lubadh. Use them in every single patch.

[@peterpalko6962]

Love the steampunk look of yer modules, can't wait to see (hear) áradh and tágh! Keep on doing the great job!!

[@JxhnNichxlls]

Tiny tagh! Oh man I’ve been wanting a condensed version of this for ages as much as I love the original. Sign me UP.

[@MikeUIibarri]

All of your modules are so good looking. Really, really nice.

[@hiddenmaterial]

beautiful work and video. amazing colorizing and love what you're doing with the panels and the donations. well done, proud to own instruo modules

[@instruo]

Thank you so much! ☺

[@maxmaleo581]

love the winston section , will add one panel with my new tagh order at signal sounds

[@GatedCaffeine]

Awesome modules. Loving the look of tagh personally. So excited to hear about arbhar soon!

[@kaeptn]

amazing stuff!

[@stujay]

I have a Winston as well. Well played.

[@phpn99]

Jason, you are 1 of 1

[@kentinjivek]

Definitely think that your modules and new releases are a reason to keep modular in our creative process 💯

[@rotadsr]

Love the Winston panel ❤

[@rotadsr]

I'm also a greyhound daddy 😃

@@rotadsr they are the best! Happy house horses :)

@@instruo Yeah! It's like having a dog-shaped pillow in our sofas hahaha

[@Indianabones007]

Love your work Jason, love Winston. I do dog training and it’s important to show them that staring at you is good, will get a blank panel of him for the charity 🐾 I’m just new to Modular and picked up Csl, VinCa and OCHD, amazing modules and good to support a fellow country man! Are these modules on sale yet

[@instruo]

Thank you so much! ☺ Do let me know if you're ever in our neck of the woods. Drop by the workshop and say hi! The first production batch went out a few weeks ago, so they're in stores and available right now!

[@Indianabones007]

@@instruo that would be so cool, where is your place? I live in Airdrie 🥴 I missed your gig at Signal Sounds unfortunately but watch the other night on this channel, amazing! Great, I’ll check them out 🤟

[@instruo]

@@Indianabones007 we’re in the South side of Glasgow. Definitely drop me an email or message through the website and let me know anytime you in the area :)

[@Indianabones007]

@@instruo cool , that would be great! Thanks for the offer!

[@shadegrownsoundlab]

Are those custom cases at 6:53 - they look like they maybe close / hinge from the middle?

[@instruo]

They are cases from Art for the Ears (artfortheears.com/). Really great cases. The majority of the system at the workshop are walnut in that style. They aren’t hinges, the cheeks are multi-piece and essentially reconfigurable to different sizes. Great design! I’m taking two 12U and two 6U systems to Superbooth this year. It’s an impressive display! ☺️

[@mntbighker]

What's the voltage (octave) range on the noise? I'd like to replace my Doepfer, but it's the only random source I have with any real voltage range.

[@instruo]

Can you clarify you mean by range/octave? Amplitude of the noise? Or of the S&H and algorithm output? Algorithm is 10V peak to peak with the ability of bias to -/+10V unipolar positive or negative. The analogue S&H will sample a little over 12V peak to peak amplitudes or so with good stability.

[@mntbighker]

@@instruo Most modules that have S/H of built in noise are either 2v uni or 4v bi noise. So the S/H is fine for random pitch. But not as useful for modulation. The Doepfer A118-2 has a gain control and much louder noise signal potential. So I was curious what this module has. It's not in the specs.

[@instruo]

@@mntbighker the relationship between noise amplitude and random step amplitude distribution derived from a S&H is not so simple. Sampling white noise will result (curiously) in a slightly positive weighted distribution that follows a vague bell curve. Nature of the beast... It’s why analogue S&Hs that sample noise are generally lower in amplitude than the typical peak to peak of an oscillator. On my previous limited edition tagh module I was able to saturate the source noise so as to increase the over all rms which results in a much wider depth of random steps. The S&H on that design was an optimised integrated circuit. Again it positive weights. But is very usable. This new tagh is a more traditional discrete circuit design. The specs in the 4HP tagh manual stipulate “full scale” for the analogue S&H I/O. This more typically relates to practical sampling of a curated signal. LFO, waveform, envelope etc. In this case the source signals amplitude defines the possible sampled amplitudes levels. This I assume is due to a more limited bandwidth of source amplitudes. In the full video I demonstrate this comparison when using the tain to randomly toggle repeating steps on algorithm 2’s ring buffer. The algorithmic output, as I mentioned, is 10V peak to peak. 10 octaves with offset and scaling capabilities on board. Digital pseudo random actually produces a more practical random distribution steppes voltage strangely! Hope this clarifies :)

[@mntbighker]

@@instruo I'd say that about covers it. LOL.

Hi, how do I order a Winston panel from the USA? My husband would love one as we are greyhound parents ourselves and we always love to support those who take care of the sweet pups. Thanks!

[@instruo]

They’re in stock (or soon to be) at various retailers in the USA. A full list is on my website. I can also recommend signal sounds as an international source :) www.signalsounds.com/instruo-14hp-winston-ltd-edition-eurorack-blank-panel

[@user-ch5bc9wi6t]

Thank you so much! Just ordered ☺️

[@michaelbrodsky]

Should’ve done the panel markings in Scottish

[@instruo]

😂 I worry that they’re cryptic enough!
