A personal collection of modules I've always wanted for my workflow.
-
Some of the modules are simply reskins of the existing Audible Instruments VCV Rack versions of Mutable Instruments eurorack modules.
- The skins are inspired by hardware micro versions of various MI modules.
- Some skins are additonal modes of firmware with appropriate labels for knobs and ports to make usage easier.
- Some skins do not exist yet in hardware.
-
Some modules did not yet exist in VCV Rack versions.
-
Some modules are new.
-
Extra "Southpole Parasites" for parasites firmware based modules are on a separate branch
Compile Rack from source, following the instructions at https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack.
After checking out in the plugins/ directory, get external dependencies with
git submodule update --init --recursive
There is a build script
./scripts/make_all.sh
WARNING: Overwrites existing Southpole directories from eg. a regular download, inspect script before use
-
Extended as follows
- As complete implementation of Braids / macro oscillator as possible
- so far not available features in the Audible Instruments version have been activated and broken out as controls: AD-envelope, bit crusher, scale quantizer, tuning
- Implemented as menu options: AUTO, VCA, FLAT, Paques
- Smoke, extra skins for additional modes: Espectro, Ritardo, Camilla
- with cross feedback (same or swapped stereo channels)
- mute button for input (to listen to those sweet reverb tails)
- bypass button for fx (in case you went wild with the feedback pots)
- Inverse of But, either input A or B goes to output
- Sums of inputs set to A or B provided
- Nothing special right now, but watch this space
- 42HP useful if you want to recreate a 84HP row common in hardware
- Inspired by DJ Steevio's modular method
- Either input A or B go to the output and the A/B busses
- Two summed identical outputs for A and B buss are provided.
- convenience stereo version of Etagère
-
Does not fully reproduce all characteristics of Shelves!

Biquad filters copied from RJModules Filters
- Attenumixverter, inspired by Fonitronik Cascade
- empty inputs provide offset voltages
- empty outputs mix into output below
- Range switch +/-1 or +/-10
- transgressive module for your nihilistic no-input patches at the noise show
- stereo - neither left nor right channel do anything at all
- Intended to build a "queue next pattern" system like on groove boxes / drum machines
- Helps fire synchronized events in 4/4 based music if you can't count like me
- Can be used to launch triggers (or beat-long gates) ONCE at a given beat on a 16 step counter
- Arm triggers/gates manually or via inputs
- For example, clock with bars, trigger to mute the kick for exactly 4 bars, trigger 4 bar later to drop
- One-stop module to turn oscillators into drums / percussion, or process existing drums to taste
- Inspired by Bastl Skis
- Input gain + eq + overdrive because sometimes basic processing is all that's needed
- 2 independent decay envelopes (eg. body and accent) the sum of which is applied to input signal via internal VCA
- 2nd envelope is scaled to 1st
- Triggers are scalable
- Mute input / trigger veto intended for choke groups (eg. open hihat mutes closed hihat)
- main purpose is to convert triggers to gates
- clock through sends 1ms triggers - clean your clock
- range selectable (1s / 10s)
- when clocked, duration/delay are quantized to "musically relevant" intervals
- inspired by the Ableton Resonator effect
- 6 stereo comb filters
- V/OCT inputs quantized to SEMI tones or FREE
- FINE detuning works with opposite sign on L/R channels
- small values produce Haas effect (stereo widening)
- individual GAINs
- best used together with a chord generator patched into the V/OCT inputs
- chord generator based on Neo-Riemannian Tonnetz analysis
- inspired by NE Tonnetz Sequent, Navichord app, o_C Automatonnetz (and my incapability to compose / improvise diatonic music)
- Traversal via perfect fifth (P5/V) per volt and major triad per volt (M3/V) inputs
- Major/minor, Augmented/diminished chord groups
- 3 - 7 parts per chord (from standard triads to thirteenth chords)
- Parts mostly display for now, outputs after last part output root note
- Switch for suspensions (sus4) close to fifth-axis
- Transpose rotates within octave
- Outputs in V/oct
- Tonic output (T) for tonic drone
- Voicing inc/decreases octaves to the right/left sequentially by part (small settings to the right give chord inversions)
- I know. but this one looks cool and has a few additional features:
- Up to 32 steps
- Accents: nested euclidean sequence on main sequence
- Rotate sequence and accents
- Up to 32 pads (silent steps)
- All inputs scaled to each other in what i think is a sensible way - great for LFO modulation of inputs
- CLK/RST thru for easy chaining
- Turing mode to translate pattern into CV a la Turing Machine
- 16 internal busses 0-F with 10 lines per buss to bridge large distances or generally tidy up the patch
- First connection to input locks input (green led - red on all other instances)
- Works best with slow signal. In case of parallel processin check difference between original and bussed signal by means of inverting summer and scope
- 4x noise / S+H - inspired by the lowest section from Kinks
- Triggers are normalled from top to bottom
- Inputs are normalled to noise
- Noises are four calls to generator (not a copy)
- Follows input with a given stiffness and damping of the spring
- Mass normalized to one
- Output can be scaled/offset
- Designed to implement "Woggle CV" (works best at LFO rates)
- An all-in-one module inspired by MFB Nanozwerg
- Because sometimes you just need the basics and want to get started fast
- The submodules are mostly copied from the Fundamental modules with some omissions and additions:
- VCO: analog part of Fundamental VCO, morphing
- Sub-OSC 1/2 Oct / Noise
- LFO from Fundamental LFO, morphing + S+H
- ADSR from Fundamental ADSR
- Biquad VCF with resonance gain-compensation
