Achieving a powerful yet refined sound requires the careful manipulation of sonic elements to create a kick that is both impactful and harmonically cohesive. The kick drum’s dynamic structure is essential: it must have sufficient punch to cut through the mix while maintaining a sense of sustain or “body” for fullness. Fine-tuning compression is crucial to preserve this dynamic integrity. The transient defines the kick’s percussive identity, but balancing it is delicate, overemphasis can result in harshness, while too subtle a transient may leave the kick lacking definition. Effective use of envelope shaping, compression, and selective distortion is needed to refine the initial strike without compromising other frequency areas. The Blast module is meticulously crafted to deliver a clean, punchy, and versatile kick drum. Its intuitive controls allow you to shape a reliable and adaptable kick that suits a wide range of musical styles, combining all these elements to deliver exceptional sonic quality.

]]> A small Eurorack oscillator that packs a punch: that’s the best way to summarise Cycle 5.

This in combination with a perfect fifth transposition switch and factory pitch tuning, makes Cycle 5 an exceptionally straightforward and musical VCO to use: simply centre the fine tune knob, and the module will be instantly tuned to reference C.

Sporting all the classic waveforms, ranging from sine wave, triangle, saw and square/pulse, as well as a hard sync input and low frequency oscillator (LFO) mode, Cycle 5 makes for a real workhorse VCO. The novel trigonometric waveshaper results in a very clean sine wave, ideal for sub bass duty.

Cycle 5’s highlight however, is its vari-wave feature. By adjusting the vari-wave knob, the waveform on the matching output will smoothly morph from sine, to triangle, saw, square and finally a very narrow pulse. The vari-wave parameter can be CV controlled, up to audio frequencies for some intense timbres.

Equally at home as a modest modulation companion to big VCOs, as being in the spotlight in miniature or polyphonic systems, Cycle 5 might just be the most multi-talented tiny analogue oscillator yet.

Features

  • High-stability precision analogue triangle-core VC(LF)O.
  • Octave and perfect fifth switches—all intermediate frequencies can be reached using the front panel controls.
  • Dual volt per octave FM inputs.
  • Outputs: sine, triangle, saw, square/pulse (PWM) and vari-wave, smoothly morphing between all waveforms.
  • Reset (hard oscillator sync) input.
  • Wide frequency range: 48 mHz (20 seconds) to 3.7 kHz.
  • Don’t waste time tuning: pre-tuned for 0 V = C.
  • Impedance-compensated outputs with dual-colour vari-wave LED.
  • Trim potentiometers accessible from the front panel.

The module consists of two oscillators, called the Modulator and Principal, with a middle section that provides voltage control over the internal modulation paths between the two oscillators, resulting in highly complex timbres. Additionally, the principal oscillator passes through multiple unique voltage-controlled waveshapers and crossfaders for further signal processing. The module’s pitch can be controlled with 1V / OCT or via its internal auto-tuner and ART control to create precisely pitched notes.
