I love you guys

Oh damn I’ll have to go back and re-edit the video

The faders themselves are linear but the VCA response is exponential as it’s optimised for audio. Channel 5 is normalled for mono L to R but Channel 6’s normals go to the L and R of channel 5. Maximum gain is unity to prevent clipping, as Eurorack only has 6dB of headroom.

They go together perfectly!

Oh my! I hadn’t thought about that but yes! I’ve been thinking about future plans for a flexible mixer but wasn’t as into the idea of an all out performance mixer. Right now in a 4u104hp case it’s often Veils 2 but when I have another row, Jumble Henge and this Sidecar will be amazing!

If you patch a static voltage to input one you can use all the outputs for controls, due to the inputs cascading down. The CV response is exponential but with conditioning at either end, so the -100dB to -50dB passes faster, and so the top end rounds off at 0dB to keep control over levels to make sure things don't clip.

⁠@@worng_electronicsthank you for the fast response! I really should have figured that out by myself, a clever design! - The response indeed seems to be carefully chosen. I really hope to get my hands on one of these in the near future!

Good question, wonder why it was mentioned nowhere

@@worng_electronicsthat’s such a smart way to take advantage of that! 1 cable in and you have lots of offset voltage! If you were to cv the channels you could also then reduce that offset voltage to different ranges correct? I love the way this rides between modular and a performance mixer that might take out some of these incredibly thoughtful features! Well refined and I appreciate that a lot!

@@worng_electronics so pleace show more of the Faderbank idea, what is the range then,? Faderbanks have -5/+5 or 0/5 or 0/10 Volt, which one is the closest? all? :D thanks

Our visual aesthetic is a big part of the brand identity and key to the functionality of the modules, you won’t see any dull panels on WORNG modules ever! 👍🏻

@@worng_electronics silver =/= dull but black and gold does = depressing

Thanks! Making more videos is something I'd like to do, but it often takes a back seat to designing new modules and keeping the ones we have in stock. I'm working on streamlining the demo video process as much as possible, so hopefully the frequency of them will increase!

If you use both left and right parts of the send and return loop you’re not using it in mono, it only sums to mono when you only patch the left side. To use mono effects with it then consider getting a LRMSMSLR or MidSide+ to allow you to easily add stereo mono effects to stereo signals. The difference between patching an effects unit to the output and using the send and return loop is the send and return loop is always fully filtered, so you can have different depth settings on the effects send and the main mix.

@@worng_electronics thanks for the answer! i got another one ... would it be legit to use the fx for a stereo reverb (for example) and at the same time entering the return also with sound from another mixer or stereo source? so using the return sockets at the same time for the return of the reverb as well as for the stereo input of another stereo source.

@@LazarusGordon it’s modular so you can do whatever you want with it! But yeah you could mix the reverb return in with other dry signals and patch that in the stereo return, that would work for sure.

That was clipping the inputs of the field recorder, I was running straight from the SoundStage outs to the line ins on it. I recorded all this in one take improvising so didn’t check my levels again when the bass got heavy. The SoundStage has whole lot of headroom and won’t get close to clipping with just two inputs.

@@worng_electronicsokay perfect, that’s what i figured was going on. Just wanted to make sure as i am definitely going to be picking one up. Thanks for your clarification. Amazing work btw, i really love your designs.

It’s 100% analogue (like all WORNG modules) so it doesn’t have any firmware. If you’re bothered by the volume dip there are a couple of resistors you can remove which will give a smoother fade at the cost of potentially not getting complete silence with the Level control fully CCW, but obviously if you modify your SoundStage and damage it your warranty is voided.

Yep, covered at 2:13 in this video

They’re available now!

@@worng_electronics schneiders doesn’t have it yet. I looked right away

You can use any VCA you like for that!

@@worng_electronics Looks great. Would you ever consider making a vca expander though? An example would be the SSF Vortices which comes with a little 2hp expander that you can just send lfos, envelopes, faders etc to. Saves a lot of hp. Either way I been thinking of adding an extra mixer to my case and I think yours might be the one.

@@shane_l8085 all the VCAs in the module already have CV controls available on the module (with attenuverters), in the form of the Level and Depth CV ins.

You can even create autopan effects using two VCAs -> just send an LFO to the first VCA CV input and identical LFO but inverted to the second VCA CV input

@@mr.chaosphere8085 or even simpler just use the Vertex stereo VCA and save yourself some patching!

This version allows you to have the fx send fully filtered but the dry mix filtering set by the Depth control. You can also use the return as an extra mixer for summing to the SoundStage outputs, among other things.

@@worng_electronics How does the left/right fx sends work? Is it just the left side when patched a mono source to the left send return or does it do any kind of stereo output with the one mono signal in the final outputs?

@@foxendeavor if you just patch the left output both sides are summed to mono, patching the right channel reactivates stereo.

@@worng_electronics Thanks, but does it retain the stereo field for the original audio being patched through or does the entire output sum to mono when only the left FX send/return is being used?

@@foxendeavor the main outs stay in stereo, only the fx send is summed to mono when you patch a mono effect in

They’re available now, if a store hasn’t received their shipment yet it should should be any day now.

Good to know, thanks!

I see Midwest Modular have them in stock ready to ship already right now if you want to be one of the first in the US to get one

Thanks!

I don’t know of any, but in a software environment you have all the EQ, panning, and level control built in already so you could make your own pretty easily.

Chihuahua 😂 She didn’t appreciate having to leave the studio while I recorded that

​@@worng_electronicsHaha. I can't see any reason why she couldn't make a cameo appearance. WORNG : Powered by Chihuahua 👊

Ha I’ll see how she goes next time, she doesn’t know much about patching but she loves filter sweeps and chewing on my electronics notebooks

Thanks! The new MidSide+ module has the four quadrant modulator and scaling circuitry built in so you can do this without any external modules, I’d recommend getting that over a LRMSMSLR, to save money and space.

@@worng_electronics Thank you for your reply, I am new to mid/ side processing, and I am trying to figure this out. I have a Boredbrain EQx5 Which can certainly add some interest. I am working on trying to understand the difference between the new and the previous modules. I am also trying to figure out if it would be beneficial to own both

@@omnidivergence9846 the new MidSide+ has the circuit from the LRMSMSLR with a couple of additions, it has a voltage controlled stereo width control and a switchable HPF on the MS->LR decoder. Generally the MS+ can do anything the LRMSMSLR can do, although if you want an exact and precise MS->LR decoding section the LRMSMSLR lets you do that without having to position the width control in the exact spot. Check out the manuals for more ways to use both modules, they do a lot more than just MS processing. You’d benefit from having both so you could use them in different ways, but a MS+ can cover more on its own than the LRMSMSLR.

@@worng_electronics Thank you again for your input.I went with the LRMSMSLR for now because that was in stock locally. I am really looking forward to experimenting with its many applications.

The basic principle of using a stereo filter to make a mono signal stereo is feeding the same mono signal to two filters with different settings, resulting in two different signals on the left and right which is a stereo signal. There’s no panning involved, panning is changing the relative amplitude between left and right, stereo filtering is changing the spectral response between left and right. Regarding things being unbalanced between left and right, if they were perfectly balanced it would be a mono signal, not a stereo one. Obviously if a sound designer is interested in creating a stereo soundscape then it’s up to them to balance all the different elements in the stereo field as they see fit, Parallax gives you the tools to be able to do that. Regarding build quality they’re made in the same factory using the same parts as WMD, Rossum, and others, so the build quality is top notch. The pots are secured to the front panel with nuts and have metal shafts for longevity, of the thousands of modules we’ve made none have been returned with issues with the pots. All our modules are designed to last, you can read more about our design philosophy on our website if you’re interested.

coming soon!

@@worng_electronics Thanks!

Yes, classic smooth low pass at -12dB/oct and -24dB/oct

It’s designed around the AS3320 chip, using the Pro One filter design as a starting point and then making certain improvements without sacrificing the dirt that gives it such nice character

@@worng_electronics Thanks! I actually was able to find a bit out on modular grid. The filter sounds really nice and I ordered this and the vertex. I really love your designs! I also already have the sound stage and lrmsmslr too! Thanks again!

Yes the SoundStages available at the moment have matte finish panels.

@@worng_electronics Great! Are all modules going to use this type of panel/finish going forward? I'm planning to get a SoundStage early next year. Just need to build a bigger case first :) Another quick Q: Did you stop making the 3x3 mult? I was looking for something like that but they are hard to find.

@@worng_electronics Thank you for creating modules that are actually worth the rack space! They've completey changed my rig for the better!

Sorry to hear that, I’d recommend listening on headphones or monitors anyway so that you can hear the modules properly.

@@worng_electronics I was listening on headphones. The module demo volume was fine, but the voice was muffled and very quiet.

@@ChrisWhittenMusic if you cant hear the voice you also cant hear the subtleties of the sound design world.. it might not be for you

@@sinkronize It's a problem with the video, not my ears.

Have the exact same feeling about these. Well said!

While there would be some benefits to that it would mean systems would end up with a mixture of TS and TRS cables, and it would kill backwards compatibility with eurorack standard modules. Patching two cables really isn’t that much hard work, and allows a lot more freedom to treat a stereo signal as a stereo pair, dual mono signals or even a mid/side pair. There’s a lot more scope for creativity keeping it this way.

Totally understand, however this already exists in a number of devices that use 1/4 audio jacks. Separate L/R jacks that support both balanced and unbalanced signals, as well as supporting a single mono or a single stereo cable. Quick look at my rig, Synthstrom Deluge, Bastl Thyme, Waldorf Blofeld, all use some sort of variation on that system.
