Voltage starving in Eurorack with @bloodcellsaudio "Mangle" module.
Following up on my voltage starving conversation with @SpectralEvolver a few weeks back, today I'm exploring Blood Cells Audio's "Mangle", a Eurorack module that's basically a voltage-starving VCA, where you can send CV to the op-amps (or insufficient CV to the op-amps to voltage starve them). Here, I try a few different program materials, and show some interesting results of modulating voltage starving over time.
0:00 Intro / Background
1:08 What I'm not talking about
1:44 Sine wave input
3:23 Sequenced sine wave with voltage-starved envelope
3:46 Thinking about parametric support
4:32 Vocal sample
5:41 LFO voltage starving
6:25 Drum machine input
8:08 Clipping
9:16 Closing thoughts
