"4ms RCD in Banana Frac format!!!
Yes! That is correct. Dann @4ms hooked me up with an RCD board, no panel etc. So, if you plugged your Euro RCD in backwards a little while ago THANK YOU!!!! Cos after it was fixed I bought it :D

This thing is way more fun than any module should legally be!

The "voice" here is two Blacet VCOs VC Waveforms, which are crossfaded, sometimes at audio rate, being sequenced by a combination of 2 Binary Zones, a Mini-Wave w/ scale quantizer & a Doepfer 156 Dual Quantizer - a little OTT.

The RCD takes the main clock (MFB Dual LFO squarewave) & spits pulses every which way. The 8008 is being triggered by a bunch of RCD outs run thru the Doepfer 152 sequential switch section.

Metalbox Dual AD is also getting triggered by the RCD & is CVing the CGS Wave Multiplier.

The combination of VC Waveforms, Crossfading & Wave Folding really peals my potatoes, just an absurb timbral range. FM the VC Mixer, modulate the harmonic content of the VCOs waveforms, wobble the folds... oh my days."

"Fun @ Musikgear. The more we use the T-resonator, the more we control precisely the feedbacks. Still dangerous unit for Live use but with time and experience the T-resonator can be really rewarding. The bend matrix comes from 4ms."

"Simple patch illustrating one use of the 4ms Rotating Clock Divider. Four outs from the RCD are sent to one Maths, which is mainly used as a mixer for the four incoming sources. SUM out opens the Borg filter, which is in a feedback loop with the Plague Bearer to give the sound more flavor. The second Borg is in the chain to roll the nasty highs off, and is perked up with the OR out from Maths.

uLFO is clocking the RCD from pulse output, and also providing the rotation via the shaped sine output. Changing the shape of the sine and attenuating it gives pretty good control over the rotation, while mixing it up enough to be interesting.

The second Maths is slowly modulating the gain input on the Plague Bearer, and providing an occasional reset for the RCD."

"The Shuffling Clock Multiplier from 4ms is the speedy cousin of the Rotating Clock Divider. The SCM has inputs for CV Rotate and CV Shuffle, which are connected in this video to the X and Y outputs of a joystick controller. In normal mode, the SCM outputs 8 clock signals that are exactly 1-8 times faster than the clock input (which is coming from a tap tempo module in this video).

The CV Shuffle drops beats out, dropping more pulses as more CV is applied. So at 0V there are no beats dropped, e.g. on the x8 jack there's a steady 1/8 note pulse. At 1V some notes drop out, e.g. we may get three 1/8 notes followed by two rests and then three more 1/8 notes, and this pattern repeats each measure. At maximum CV input we get only the down beat (first note of the measure)

The CV Rotate works like it does on the RCD (applying a CV routes the clock outputs to different jacks).

The sounds are created by an Andromeda mk 2 snare module (www.ericarcher.net), an EH Space Drum, and two little bass drum modules (by Jeannot Q)
More to come!!"

"An alpha version of a 4HP Tap Tempo Eurorack module triggering a drum module. At the end of the video a 4ms Shuffling Clock Multiplier beta version (which has a tap tempo clock, too) is running between the tap tempo module and the drum module. These two tap tempo clocks in series create a roll effect that resolves on the downbeat...

The Tap Tempo module has a tap button that can set the tempo and/or output direct pulses. A 3-position switch selects the mode:
-Down position: tap button directly outputs pulses (no internal clock)
-Middle position: tap button sets tempo of internal clock
-Up position: internal clock is locked in tempo, tap button outputs additional pulses"

"This is a multieffects unit consisting of an Uglyface (oscillator/fuzz), a Tremulus Lune (tremolo) and a modified DOD 440 Envelope Filter. It sounds quite terrible, but that's the whole point. While the soundquality is rather abyssmal, things may get somewhat more interesting if it is played in stereo; Try adding "&fmt=18" at the end of the url."

The Uglyface is by Tim Escobedo. When available you can find them on Ebay here.
The Tremulus Lune is by 4ms. You can find some 4ms pedals on Ebay here and at Big City Music.

If I missed any, let me know! I forget the name of the orange red device in the bottom image. I've posted it a number of times. It's on the tip of my tounge, but I can't freakin remember. It's driving me crazy! :)

I met Roger Cordell owner of Big City Music, Josh Humphrey of Big City Music, Eric Barbour of Metasonix, Shagghie, and Wolfgang Michalowicz of Surfin Kangaroo. All great people. Be sure to see this video on the Surfin Kangaroo and this video on the Metasonix D-1000. Click here for a search on bigcitymusic which will bring up more videos of what was shown at NAMM.

"Unveiled at the beginner's class at Handmade Music Austin #4 (Jan 2010), the SimSam is a "sample-rate cruncher" that's glitchy as all get-out, but only costs about $8 in parts (including pcb and battery snap). It's an effect with an input and output jack; and it's a noise-maker since a jumper shorts the output back into the input when nothing is plugged into the input jack. We built 28 SimSam's in a couple hours at the workshop... heh heh.. thats a lot of messed up sounds...

The SimSam was designed by Dann Green of 4ms Pedals, and its part of the whole Andromeda thing, even though it doesnt have infrared."
