- Getting ready for #superbooth 2023! Really excited to see all our friends and fellow makers again!
This year, we will be introducing our brand new Farbfilter series, and the best thing is, we have a small batch of DIY kits packed! If you join our workshop at @superboothberlin, you can solder the DIY version with our lead engineer Enrica and be the first to get your hands on one of these modules!
In this video, Enrica is playing the #Farbshaper - a classic westcoast analog #waveshaper for Eurorack, designed to add overtones with two CV controlled stages. This module is a non-linear shaper, and it's perfect for electronic and acoustic sounds, ranging from gentle timbral transformation to colourful wavefolding in 4HP.
In this patch, we're sending a MIDI sequence from Stolperbeats to the @WeAreElektron Model:Cycles, with the audio from Model:Cycles processed through the left Farbshaper. The module gets some extra CV modulation from Stolperbeats' envelope out, generating velocity curves from the drum pattern.
The bassline is a pulse wave from @apolloview9305's fabulous Allscillator complex VCO (kits available from @ThonkSynthDIY ), its pitch sequenced with This is Not Rocket Science's @thisisnotrocketscience3942 Tuesday procedural sequencer - a fantastic module that keeps on cropping up in @DivKid clips. The pulse wave is folded using the righthand Farbshaper, with CV input from TiNRS Tuesday's velocity and accent out.
Enrica is tweaking Farbshaper's Gain, Fold and Pleat parameters. With CV patched, Farbshapers knobs become attenuators for the incoming voltage. The little oscilloscope is the awesome battery-driven Korg NTS-2, which came with a lovely book by @BJOOKS on @KorgOfficial synthesizers.
The Model:Cycles sounds are derived from a factory patch, so shout out to @sm0hm and the Elektron team for the lovely and inspiring FM synth they created and also check out Ess' awesome new max4live stuff at @ForsFM!

So cool!!!
Glad you like it! These could actually be pretty neat for scoring film music. Dark ominous drones for days!
Really love this sound, and the module itself looks so nice! Can’t wait to try it
Thank you very much! Superbooth would be the perfect chance to playtest them, if you are going come say hello!
@@MakingSoundMachines i wish, really! But I live in France close to Switzerland and life got busier lately with a little human being. But I’ll definitely keep an eye on what you’re doing as I love as well your philosophy of working with a few people from different places and you take this more as a chance to exchange rather than competition. And I really enjoy the direction you’re going with the amount of creativity you put into your module, with the sound itself as much as the aesthetic (really enjoyed your tiny robots too by the way)
You’re on fleek！ 🎶✨🙏✨🎵
Haha thank you!
more demoes please... of the other Farb modules
We just posted one with Farb Highpass, the Analog Transistor Highpass Ladder Filter + Tilt EQ.
Just finished building the farbshaper, is it meant to heavily colour the sound even if the fold and pleats pots are at 0? I'm feeding a pure sine wave in with those settings and there are a lot of harmonics being added, even if I turn the gain down to where it's barely audible (Module sounds great btw!)
There is no clean path like there is with say a guitar pedal - the audio will always run through the circuit. The folding is dependent on input level, so what you are describing sounds like the signal is a bit on the hot side. Try adjusting the attenuator (top knob).
You can also set that so low that you "starve" the circuit and the sound fades away. It's a great way to make dynamic sounds, if you produce the same effect with a VCA before the input then set the top knob to a setting you like.
