Verbos Electronics

Notes: The Control Voltage Processor from Verbos Electronics GmbH is a suite of control voltage processing possibilities divided into 3 sections in a slim 18HP package. The lower 2 sections are DC coupled mixers that allow mixing, inverting, offsetting, scaling, multiplying, dividing, crossfading or a combination of these functions. The top section is a voltage controlled slewing processor with independent control of Positive and Negative slew rate, with some unique tricks. The Positive and Negative slew, or Rise and Fall rates if you like, have reversing attenuators. The slopes can be blended from linear to RC curves (starting all slides fast and ending slow, like a proper "East Coast" Portamento) without a change in speed. It can be triggered like an AD envelope and has a Gate out that goes high when the CV out is below 100mV. Of course it can loop by patching the Gate out to the Trigger in. The Bounce control adds a unique flare of overshoot to CV changes, a bit like the effect of stopping a tape reel from turning and then letting it go. The combination of multiple voltage processors offers the user the functions of analogue computer.

Notes: Inspirational west coast sounds from one of the masters. Additive oscillator with eight harmonics, direct outputs and powerful CV control to scan, tilt and mix the waveforms.

Supplier's Notes:
For the first time in Eurorack, this oscillator module provides outputs for the first 8 harmonics as sine waves. Also included are triangle, saw, square waves.

A voltage controlled mixer with various methods of address allows the user to scan, tilt and mix the harmonics from both panel and external voltage control. It is built on a discrete, all analog triangle core with an old school discrete transistor exponential converter. It has inputs for linear and exponential FM, the exponential with a reversing attenuator. Of course there's a 1 volt/octave trimmed CV input as well.

Power consumption: 120mA at +12 V and 90mA at -12 V

Notes: The Mini Horse from Verbos Electronics GmbH is a multi-dimensional touch activated voltage controller. At 42HP wide and ultra thin, it can be added to a synthesizer system either inside the Eurorack or out front in the forthcoming Black Box extra low profile powered enclosure. Twelve keys run across the front, each with its own Gate out, Pressure out and Position out. In addition to the individual keys' outputs the master section presents the parameters of which key was last pressed in addition to a tuneable from the knob behind the key and a "Fixed" voltage, spanning from 0-10v across the keys from left to right. Position outs have memory of their position when last touched, allowing the user to draw a mix across the keys when connected to voltage controlled mixers as in the Harmonic Oscillator or Bark Filter Processor.

Notes: Explore modulation beyond the standard ADSR with Verbos's complex polyphonic envelope, opening up the potential of ADAsR and AHDsR slopes. Use the four envelopes independently or trigger sequentially in three separate modes.

Supplier's Notes:
The Verbos Polyphonic Envelope module is a set of four envelope generators which can be used together or independently. Cascade logic allows the four envelopes to trigger sequentially with subsequent envelopes starting at the Hold, Decay or End of the previous envelope.

Each envelope offers its own gate input, CV output and end pulse output, so it can be used in up to four-voice polyphonic patches. The three skew controls allow the times to change as each new envelope is switched on. All parameters can be voltage controlled.

Power consumption: 75mA at +12 V and 30mA at -12 V

Notes: Full synth voice with MIDI connection!

The voice is inspired by the classic West Coast synthesis approach.

Five oscillators from the popular Verbos Foundation oscillator are used. The oscillator has controls such as timbre and richness to shape the sound. With Timbre, the waveform can be faded from sine to sawtooth. The voice also has a spread control that can be controlled via CV. Another nice feature is the Auto-Tune function.

All parameters can be controlled via MIDI CC, which is great for sequencing different parameters.

There are two AD envelopes built in, which can also be cycled and generate frequencies up to 500hz.

The module can be used as a standalone unit with the Verbos Blackbox or as a standard Eurorack module.
