0HP Butt0n commercial Mystic Circuits 2023-05-09 | The 0HP Butt0n from Mystic Circuits is a deceptively useful yet simple entry into the 0HP modular line. Two buttons that work in tandem to create a variety of switching behaviors. Use either the latching or momentary button to activate or deactivate two connected signals. Some clever routing also allows the latching button to change the momentary button from normally open to normally closed. Similar signal paths to our 0ttenuator module allow both channels to be used separately, two signals to be mixed together or one signal to be sent to two destinations. For more details and order go to our website at:www.mysticcircuits.com/product/butt0n
0HP Blinkus Infomercial Mystic Circuits 2023-05-09 | The Blinkus is a cluster of LEDs that behaves kind of like a ring modulator.

New IDUM Firmware! IDUM v.95 Firmware explanation Mystic Circuits 2022-09-08 | Hey folks, we have finally uploaded a new IDUM firmware to our Github, linked here:github.com/mysticcircuits/IDUMThis not only means new features and improved reliability for your IDUM but also means that you can either mess with the code on your IDUM or use IDUM's code in your own projects! Everything is released under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0 licence, more info on that on our github page but I cover what I consider to be the spirit under which I am releasing this code towards the end of the video.You might also notice that there is a black panel IDUM in the thumbnail. We have a very limited number of them up on our website, to purchase go ahead and visit:mysticcircuits.com/product/idum-black-panel-limited-editionA few changes with the new firmware:- Active/ inactive mode selection is now remembered after power down.- Less flickering on the LED mode ring.- Greatly improved cycle maintenance with fast mode clock manipulation, moderately improved cycle maintenance with slow mode clock manipulation.- Fixed bug that would sometimes cause looper to land on a step other than the one pointed to by the mode dial when setting the loop length to 1.- More modes will create 50% duty cycle gates rather than triggers by default.- Slightly tweaked the multiply/divide mode to be more interesting at low values of the param knob.- Improved probability distribution in lower probability settings.- Abililty to tweak a few under-the-hood options on the first page of the firmware.Obviously a lot of time went into cleaning up and commenting the code to make things as readable for you as well.Hope that all of this is interesting and helpful, please comment below with any questions or suggestions you might have for upcoming firmwares!

IDUM - IDM for people of average Intelligence Mystic Circuits 2022-04-20 | For more information and ordering please visit mysticcircuits.com/product/idumIDUM is a gate processing effect that turns its input effortlessly into IDM. Making complex electronic music with the modular usually requires meticulous sequencing done in advance or a large ecosystem of modules. Unfortunately, the level of expertise needed to accomplish this is not accessible to the average modular user. IDUM aims to make this process easier and put Intelligent Dance Music, also known as IDM, into the hands of people with average intelligence. IDUM does not require much knowledge to get immediate and compelling results; but with some extra familiarity, this module can enable innovative music making techniques. Instead of generating musical patterns on its own, IDUM acts like an effects processor for the sequences that run through it. For example, a filter or a delay allows the user to alter their sound by twisting the knobs or modulating the parameters. Similarly, IDUM manipulates the actual gates and sequences of connected modules, but with a level of playability normally inaccessible to a sequencer. IDUM can vary carefully crafted sequences or turn your music into an onslaught of controlled chaos. Its open source code and hardware based on the beginner friendly Arduino Nano Every encourage users to tweak their modules to taste or to add new features all while ensuring future improvements as IDUM makes its way into the wild.IDUM has eight effect modes:HOLD - Alter the length of incoming triggers.BURST - Generates a ratcheting effect with timing determined by the clock.MULTIPLY/DIVIDE - Generates a ratcheting effect with timing determined by incoming triggers.BALL - Generates a bouncing ball effect.ROTATE - scrambles the connections of inputs and outputs.DELAY - postpones incoming gates by a dynamic amount of time based on incoming triggers.BREAK - preset rhythms that turn incoming triggers into breakbeats.SKIP - manipulates the clock output to multiply the clock speed or skip forward multiple steps.In addition to these modes, IDUM features an eight step looper that loops incoming gates as well as any effects that were active on those steps.To control when IDUM's effects are active, the CHANCE slider sets the likelihood that on a given step an effect will activate and the LENGTH slider sets how many steps the effect will last for. The PARAM knob controls a parameter unique to each effect while the MODE knob selects the mode. All of these controls as well as the LOOP status have their own CV modulation inputs.Unique to IDUM is its ability to manipulate external sequencers using the clock output. This includes functions like: pausing the clock when an effect is active for dynamic clock division, skipping forwards or multiplying the speed of the clock in SKIP mode, and looping a sub-section of sequencer steps in the looper. To keep everything tamed while manipulating the clock, the CYCLE switch will send out bursts of clocks to catch your sequencer up with its original sequencer position after an effect has completed. Keep in mind that not all sequencers like to be clocked fast enough to work with these features, so for best results pair your IDUM with a TREE/ LEAVES combo from Mystic Circuits.IDUM might be the stupidest way to make IDM and we at Mystic Circuits are proud of that. Whether you want to add complexity to your dancefloor bangers or make the most obtuse and unlistenable music imaginable, IDUM is here to help. See just how dumb your music can get with the Mystic Circuits IDUM.

Using Ana for Note Sequences Mystic Circuits 2020-10-12 | mysticcircuits.com/product/anaToday we have another instructional video on how to get the most out of Ana with this episode focusing on how to use Ana to process note sequences. Unlike normal logic processing modules Ana also works with variable voltages which allows us to do all sorts of fun non-linear processes to instantly transform a melody with the twist of a knob. When it comes to note sequences Ana is capable of a lot of handy tricks either processing a single sequence or combining multiple sequences and always providing multiple outputs for quickly manipulating polyphonic note information.For more info on ANA and how it works check out our first ANA demo:youtu.be/fs3ccKLZZ2M

ANA Processing Gates and Triggers Mystic Circuits 2020-05-14 | mysticcircuits.com/product/anaWe at Mystic Circuits have been hard at work improving the overall quality and style of our videos. Im an engineer, not a Youtuber, so it has been quite a process. Hopefully the work is worth it and the new demos will be more enjoyable and easier to follow.This demo is on using ANA to process gates and triggers for manipulating rhythms either with the twist of a knob or with voltage control. Unlike most logic processors ANA computes analog logic so variable and negative voltages can also be processed. This adds a ton of flexibility even when processing static unipolar signals like gates and triggers. Many complex logic functions are possible with some creative patching.For more info on ANA and how it works check out our first ANA demo:youtu.be/fs3ccKLZZ2M

0HP Vactrol DIY Build Guide - Updated Mystic Circuits 2020-04-24 | Link to get a 0HP vactrol kit:mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-vactrol-lpg-vca-full-kitLink to the soldering basics video:youtu.be/Z_U6xBCo2K4Link to more information about the 0HP Vactrol module:mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-vactrol-low-pass-gatemysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-vactrol-vca0HP Vactrol based modules take advantage of an outdated part to rough the edges of your sound. What sets Vactrol-based circuits apart is that they will slow down any incoming control voltages, allowing them to convert a gate or trigger CV input into very musical envelopes. Both the Vactrol Low Pass Gate and the Vactrol Voltage Controlled Amplifier modulate the amplitude of a signal under voltage control, but the VCA does so with minimal alteration to the sound whereas the LPG filters the sound to give it some extra weight. Both modules feature a 'mix input' allowing for passive mixing with other sound sources or daisy chaining of multiple Vactrol modules. Please note that all Vactrols are unique snowflakes and as such each module will have a different response curve.
0HP Envelope Build Guide Mystic Circuits 2020-04-24 | Link to get a 0HP Envelope kit:www.mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-envelope-full-kitLink to the soldering basics video:youtu.be/Z_U6xBCo2K4Link to more information about the 0HP Envelope:mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-envelopeDont let the name fool you, this module is quite a bit more than just an envelope. Patch in a gate and your output will behave as a normal sustain- release envelope, staying high while the gate is high and slowly decaying once it goes low. Patch in audio and you have an envelope follower, extracting amplitude data from whatever signal is coming in. Patch in any positive control voltage and you have a slew, adding glide whenever the incoming voltage falls. All three modes boast voltage control over the release/ response time and can use the on board input mult to either daisy chain multiple envelopes or to extract amplitude data from an audio input and then send the audio somewhere else. Possibly our most useful 0HP module yet.
0HP Filter Build Guide Mystic Circuits 2020-04-24 | Link to get a 0HP Filter kit (be aware that this is the hardest 0HP to build):www.mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-filter-full-kitLink to the soldering basics video:youtu.be/Z_U6xBCo2K4Link to more information about the 0HP Envelope:mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-low-pass-filterAn audio filter in a tiny package! A blend between our "AND - gate" and our "Vactrol Low Pass Gate" circuits, the cutoff frequency can be modulated at audio rate. It also features a voltage controlled clipping circuit which allows for further wave shaping. The response of this circuit is much faster than that of the Vactrol Low Pass Gate, so it will react to very plucky envelopes and even triggers.
Mystic Circuits Portal - Wave Wrapping Distortion Mystic Circuits 2019-08-01 | mysticcircuits.com/product/portalPortal is a wave wrapping distortion from another dimension. Similar to a wavefolder, Portal multiplies the harmonics of a signal going through it. However, instead of the output wave being folded over on itself once the input hits a certain threshold voltage the output will jump back to zero, creating a sharp transition almost like the wave has traveled through a Portal. With three different simultaneously available flavors of distortion and four control voltage inputs, Portal is ready to transform just about anything into a perverse distortion of its previous form. From crunchy lows to piercing hisses and unparalleled squelch, the Mystic Circuits Portal is what you need to add intensity to your musical palette.

Mystic Circuits Tree - Advanced Sequential Switch Mystic Circuits 2019-03-12 | mysticcircuits.com/product/treeTree is all about possibilities. A sequential switch with 8 positions that yields limitless paths between them, driving Tree with multiple clock sources can automatically create new sequences not easily made by hand. The clock, reset and backwards inputs drive Tree like a normal sequential switch with control over the direction of the sequence, whereas the “shift” inputs perform binary addressing of the steps with all 6 clock inputs available for simultaneous use. Featuring bidirectional inputs and outputs, when the common node is unplugged it is normalled to a high voltage allowing Tree to be used as a gate sequencer. The Turing Machine expansion port in the back allows for future expansion of Tree’s capabilities, including the ability to be used as a note sequencer.

Generative Ambient Jam with LZX Mystic Circuits 2018-02-16 | This video is another Jam using the Vert and our upcoming Ana and Tree modules to handle most of the generative sequencing. Sequencing is almost completely self generative with very minimal intervention besides mixing in/ out parts. Sound is a mutable braids into an Ieaskull F. Mobenthey Sprott filter and then clouds for the ambiance/ bass swells. Bass drum is a Basimilus iteratus and snare is an Erica Black Noise going through a 0HP VCA. Video is a small LZX skiff that I have been preparing to use for visuals, it is basically a visual cortex with 2 Prismatic Ray video oscillators and a prototype Mystic Circuits Ana to combine the 2 oscillators in interesting ways. Anyways enjoy!
EYEtenuator applications and patch examples Mystic Circuits 2017-12-28 | mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-eyetenuatorTo skip the basic stuff and get straight to the jamz:youtu.be/MHPPcUVZ55k?t=4m1sPutting together a few patch examples for the EYEtenuator that didn't make it into the main infomercial video. This video should give a more comprehensive look at how the EYEtenuator works and why it is useful in a patch.
Sunshine Mystic Circuits 2017-12-12 | Uploading a bit of a different style of video to this channel, this time it is a sort of ambient modular jam rather than a purely informative demo. The concept behind this is setting up a patch with 0HP EYEtenuators distributed throughout the patch and then setting it outside to be modulated my natural changes in light, in this case a tree blowing in the wind. The patch is based around a Make Noise Morphogene loop, the loop being taken from Blonde Redhead's song "Equally Damaged". Because the light is changing so much my phone's auto-focus is going completely nuts and for that I apologize. I am looking into other camera phone apps to deal with this in the future (if you have suggestions please leave them in the comments, I have an Android). This video also happens to be a memorial to my dog who died on the day that I filmed this. Sprinkled throughout are some videos of the dog that I processed with video feedback as a kind of tribute to her. Her name was Zeta Loco Reticuli and a lot of people in the LA Modular scene knew her and that she was an awesome dog. Ill be uploading more jam videos like this in the future, if there is anything in particular that you would like to see please leave a comment below.mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-eyetenuator
Mystic Circuits EYEtenuator Infomercial Mystic Circuits 2017-11-13 | mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-eyetenuatorControl your synth with the power of light! Two signals coming through this 0HP module are attenuated based on the amount of light hitting their respective photo detector. Normalized jacks allow one input to be sent to each attenuator or for both attenuators to be summed together at one output.
Mystic Circuits 0HP Modular VCA comparison Mystic Circuits 2017-09-05 | Comparing the various VCA offerings from 0HP Modular, a line of passive external modules by Mystic Circuits. For more details and ordering go here:mysticcircuits.com/productsBreakdown:0HP AND Gate ~Pros: audio rate modulation, responds to quick/ snappy envelopes, can be used with gate signals to fulfill logic functionsCons: audible clicking when using a gate as a control voltage, trigger output can be used as a mix input but it is only AC coupled, slight warmth/ distortion at low control voltage levels (although I consider this a plus ;) ).0HP Vactrol VCA:PROS: cleanest of all the 0HP VCA modules, can be driven directly by a gate to make its own envelope shape, smooth response means minimal audio clicking when driven by gates, MIX input accepts DC voltages.CONS: most bleed of all of the 0HP VCA modules, longer decay times than either the Vactrol LPG or the AND Gate/ VCA, no amplitude modulation.0HP Vactrol LPG~PROS: nice filtering sound dampens high frequencies while the vactrol is closing, can be driven directly by a gate to make its own envelope shape, usually has a faster "pluckier" response than the vactrol VCA, smooth response means minimal audio clicking when driven by gates, MIX input accepts DC voltages.CONS: colors sound because of filtering, longer decay times than either the Vactrol LPG or the AND Gate/ VCA, no amplitude modulation.0HP OR gate can be used as a sort of VCA as well even though it is not the intended purpose. This will color your sound quite a bit due to the rectifying nature of the circuit and will also require a positive voltage to reduce audio amplitude but it can still have some fun results.

Announcing 0HP Vactrol LPG and VCA Mystic Circuits 2017-07-27 | 0HP Vactrol based circuits take advantage of an outdated part to rough the edges of your sound. Both the Vactrol Low Pass Gate and the Vactrol Voltage Controlled Amplifier modulate the amplitude of a signal under voltage control, but the VCA does so with minimal alteration to the sound whereas the LPG filters the sound to give it some extra oomph. Both modules are now available at our website:mysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-vactrol-low-pass-gatemysticcircuits.com/product/0hp-vactrol-vcaCREDITS:Thanks to Carly for helping to film.Thanks to Will for the trench coat.Thanks to Tommy Bahama for the fedora.Thanks to user RutgerMuller on freesound.org for the screech soundhttp://freesound.org/people/RutgerMuller/sounds/104026Thanks to user apotter1992 on freesound.org for the city ambiencehttp://freesound.org/people/apotter1992/sounds/239032
