Good on you for releasing modules that bring modular back to it's roots. I love a feature packed digital module as much as the next person, but it's easy to get lost in the sauce and these types of modules are where all the true exploration happens, at least for me 😊

Your choices of the relationships between the analog LFOs, is not just musical in the tonal sense, but extremely musical in the rhythmic sense... Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you, we spent time fine tuning things with various patches to get things feel really good as a wide range of modulation. Glad that's come across well.
@precarious333music11 ай бұрын
Wow! What a ridiculously smart collection of functions. Goes well beyond a simple expander. It's going to be amazing using all those voltages throughout a patch and having them all effected by changes to the main speed control. What a monster! Congratulation, Ben, on a great design.

@LillySchwartz11 ай бұрын
Your timing is excellent. Just yesterday I was using ochd to open some VCAs and thought "I wish this was unipolar!" Set up a notification for when they are in stock immediately. I love ochd, literally end up using it in every patch.
@DivKid11 ай бұрын
I sometimes really like the VCAs with bipolar LFOs thing. As it creates moments of silence, or "off" states and a triangle then fades up and down to and from the off state nicely. But ... exactly like you the unipolar ones I'm glad to have around too. :) thanks!
@LillySchwartz11 ай бұрын
@@DivKid I really like that too, especially when I'm opening several VCAs and there are interesting overlaps. I just had my ochd running quite slow and the pauses became a tad too long. No rectifier in my small case so I ended up with running ochd through Kinks in VCV rack. In my big case I have a 4 quadrant multiplier which is my usual solution when I need to have bipolar LFOs controlling VCAs. What blows my mind about that expander is that there is so much functionality in such little space! Can't wait to get it!
@DivKid11 ай бұрын
Yeah totally agree at the slower frequencies it can be too big of a pause. I'm still amazed at the quality of work in getting all of these ideas in. Each section is a whole module in itself.
@LillySchwartz11 ай бұрын
I’m quite impressed with it myself as a DIY person. I mean, it’s 4x Kinks in 4HP and Kinks uses 0204 components which are so tiny that I haven’t even considered building it yet 🤯 That’s quite something! Definitely a must have now. I mean, in VCV rack I can have as many Kinks as I want, but with hardware It’s a tad more complicated 😅 ES-8 to the rescue for my current patch, but I can’t wait to get my hands on the expander!

What is that module to the left of the expansion module, the one that you have all the Red leads connected too? It's a very large Silver module with a display window on the left of it? It looks like it says "Bias Morphing VCA" at the top, but it's very hard to make out exactly what it says. I would appreciate it if you could tell me the name of that module?
@DivKid11 ай бұрын
The large silver module is the E370 from Synthesis Technology. A quad voice morphing wavetable module. It's a really powerful, flexible thing with various modes etc. The screen is really helpful, rather than shift and button combos etc.

What's the closest thing Instruo has to Happy Nerding MIA? MIA is a great companion to OCHD as well. Maybe the next DivKid collab should be the Instruo MIA OCHD expander?
@DivKid8 ай бұрын
MIA packs a lot of with those dual concentric pots. Instruo have those functions of offsets and mixing or inverted in the 1[f] module. Only 2HP so you can pack a few around a system nicely. They don't have a sort of "bank of utility channels" type thing like the MIA though. the VinCA dual VCA is worth a look for mixing and modulating signals, one channel is bipolar like a ring modulator the other straight up VCA.

@DivKid8 ай бұрын
that sounds like a great patch! I think that's just a saw wave into the two sides of Blades. So anything would do, analogue VCOs or digital oscillator stuff. All the shaping is in the filtering and then FX.
