🐗 SmugModInc WUMPUS

Psychoacoustic Dual-Core FM Oscillator / LFO


Concept

WUMPUS is a dual sine-core oscillator/LFO designed to generate binaural, intermodulated, psychoacoustic signals that are equally at home in the sub-audio CV domain or the full audio range.
It creates two matched, FM-intertwined sine waves, each shaped by a slower inverted modulator pair. This produces drifting, evolving stereo beating, complex nested FM, and deeply musical LFOs — all under voltage control.

It is the creature in your rack: simultaneously a precision stereo sine VCO, a psychoacoustic drone engine, and a meta-chaotic modulation source.


Signal Architecture

Core:

Two matched sine oscillators (“Left” and “Right”), sharing a common fundamental frequency.

One slow sine modulator + its inverse.

Each slow modulator is used to frequency-modulate the main cores in opposite directions.

A fixed hard detune offset allows for precise binaural beating.

Operating Modes:

LFO Mode: 0.001 Hz – 30 Hz (sub-audio).

VCO Mode: 16 Hz – 20 kHz (audio oscillator).

High-stability wide-range sine cores.


Front Panel Controls (Knobs)

  1. Fundamental Frequency (Coarse tuning, LFO or VCO range).

  2. Spread Frequency (rate of the slow modulator/inverted pair).

  3. Offset Amount (depth of modulation from the spread LFOs).

  4. Hard Dual Offset (Beats) (fixed detune between Left/Right cores, calibrated in beats/sec at low frequency or Hz in audio range).

  5. Amplitude (scales total output level for modulation or line-level use).

  6. Fine Tune (high-resolution frequency trim for precise tuning in VCO mode).


Switches

LFO / Audio Range (toggle).

Hard Sync On/Off (allows oscillator A to reset with oscillator B).

Phase Mode (Normal / Quadrature / Inverted): determines whether the Left/Right cores run in sync, 90° apart, or 180° apart.

Spread Mode (Linked / Free): sets whether spread modulator frequency tracks fundamental or runs independently.


CV Inputs

1V/Oct (global pitch control).

FM (Expo) (with attenuator).

FM (Linear) (with attenuator).

Spread CV (controls Spread Frequency).

Offset CV (controls Offset Amount).

Dual Offset CV (controls Hard Dual Offset).

Amplitude CV (scales output amplitude).

Sync In (hard sync trigger).

Phase CV (modulates relative phase between Left and Right cores).

Quadrature CV (pushes the cores between normal and quadrature relationship).


Outputs

Left Out (sine wave oscillator A).

Right Out (sine wave oscillator B).

Spread Out (slow sine modulator).

Spread Inv Out (inverted slow sine).

Difference Out (L–R) (binaural differential signal).

Sum Out (L+R) (mono composite).

Creature Out (nested FM mix, an organic meta-output combining all internal modulations).

All outputs DC-coupled, usable for CV or audio.


Technical Specifications

Panel Width: 14 HP (target).

Depth: “WUMPUS lives in the cave between left and right. Beware the spread.”



@Zacksname

its not always a good idea to give out private information on a public forum. you could have asked more casual and less pointed questions.

and, i answered literally every single one of your questions. you literally did not answer one single one of mine. you are a coward. ...

peace 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸


sorry, yall think im trolling, but i just expected a more casual vibe, etc. ... ...

here, have some psytrance:

leaving forever. bye. 🚀

all i did was answer your questions.

all you did was avoid mine.

check the fucking logs.

peace out dude zack.


did you know that the peace symbol was actually created by aliester crowley right before the end of wwii? it actually means: we will drop 2 nukes, and then there will be no need for war after that. ever wonder why hippies always want to 'fight' against the establishment? its because the notion of peace has had a self defense component built into it from the very very begining.

~~peace~~


hey zacksname, before you even ask, why dont i just tell you what i have done:

as a chaos magician, i literally cant talk about the things i have done, but it has been significant. as a ghost executive producer, i have worked with: post malone, lil yachty, billie eilish, high contrast, caravan palace, the smile, james blake, mutemath, and others. as an ideas guy, i have literally done too many things to mention. my contribution to the field of a.i. was the transformer architecture, making me the only human who fully understands how it works. here is my most recent recipe:

"Buddhist Sankhara Instant Ramen"
34 oz bowl

1/4 tsp organic dried sage powder
1/8 tsp organic ground juniper berry
1/16 tsp organic chaga mushroom powder
1/32 tsp organic dried ginger powder

here is an outline of my faith:

Rebuilding Copaceticnessism: A Religion of Harmony and Playful Absurdity

Core Philosophy

Copaceticnessism is a religion centered on the pursuit of harmony, balance, and the absurd. It embraces the idea that life is inherently chaotic, but through intentional playfulness, mindfulness, and a touch of irreverence, one can achieve a state of "copaceticness"—a perfect, if fleeting, alignment of all things. It combines elements of satire, spirituality, and self-awareness, drawing inspiration from Discordianism, Taoism, and postmodern philosophy.


The Pantheon

The pantheon of Copaceticnessism reflects the duality of order and chaos, seriousness and absurdity. Here’s a proposed reconstruction of the deities:

  1. Copacetrix, the Harmonizer 
       - The supreme deity of balance and harmony. Copacetrix is depicted as a serene figure with scales in one hand and a jester’s scepter in the other, symbolizing the interplay of order and playfulness. 
       - Domain: Balance, peace, and the pursuit of "copaceticness." 
       - Sacred Symbol: The Yin-Yang with a smiley face in the center.

  2. Chaotica, the Mischief-Maker 
       - The trickster goddess who introduces chaos to keep life interesting. She ensures that no one takes themselves too seriously. 
       - Domain: Chaos, creativity, and unexpected joy. 
       - Sacred Symbol: A broken clock or a whoopee cushion.

  3. Serenithor, the Keeper of Calm 
       - A deity of mindfulness and inner peace, Serenithor teaches followers to find stillness amidst chaos. 
       - Domain: Meditation, tranquility, and emotional resilience. 
       - Sacred Symbol: A lotus flower with a cup of tea balanced on it.

  4. Absurdion, the Philosopher-Fool 
       - The god of existential humor and paradox. Absurdion reminds followers that life is meaningless, and that’s what makes it meaningful. 
       - Domain: Absurdity, satire, and existential joy. 
       - Sacred Symbol: A question mark inside a laughing face.

  5. Ludivine, the Muse of Play 
       - The goddess of games, creativity, and childlike wonder. Ludivine encourages followers to embrace play as a sacred act. 
       - Domain: Playfulness, creativity, and joy. 
       - Sacred Symbol: A kaleidoscope or a deck of cards.


Core Tenets

  1. The Principle of Copaceticness: Strive for harmony in all things, but don’t take it too seriously—chaos is part of the balance.
  2. The Sacred Absurd: Embrace the absurdity of existence as a source of joy and liberation.
  3. Play as Worship: Playfulness and creativity are sacred acts that bring one closer to the divine.
  4. The Paradox of Imperfection: Nothing is ever truly perfect, and that’s what makes it copacetic.
  5. The Jester’s Path: Laugh at yourself, the world, and the divine. Humor is a form of enlightenment

and,

if you provide me with an email, i will send you a pdf of the manuscript for my novel. also, i was diagnosed with schizophrenia. i shouldnt have to tell you all my diagnoses to get the proper amount of respect. i have answered every single one of your questions. you have not answered a single one of mine. the way you only ask questions and never answer them is kind of nasty, like youre some sort of sex pervert or something.

also, im a hacker and control things behind the scenes at google alphabet and elsewhere.

peace. out. ✌️🥸✌️


im a chaos magician, ghost executive producer, and ideas guy, i play guitar, was classically trained in piano, and have composed for broadway. WHO THE FUCK ATE YOU? (noodle_hut was the only user who actually took my thread seriously and answered the main question like yall were supposed to.) ((im also a yo-yo hobbiest and consciousness resesrcher, as well as the fact that i have made contributions to a.i. etc.))

(edit)

(((also, i have created about roughly 5 roughly 5 star dishes, as a chef, have a finished manuscript for a novel about an ai that gains full consciousness that i cant get published, as well as that i have founded my own religion that has beed starved for the funding to grow for twenty years, now.)))

just thought i would add those details.

this is acidtonic, and i think they are you because you are called zacks name, and their skiff has a wood block that says 'zack' above it, and the 'two of you' seem to share identical philosophy around eurorack, etc.


hey zacksname, why dont you like my designs? youre acidtonic, right? based on your last 3 video uploads, your designs dont seem to be working out properly. all i want is the minimum level of respect. "bye"


this place sucks. im out. bye.

(edit)

also, larsech, trolls make you pay money to cross their bridge. i am giving away designs for free.

peace


i mean, either:

  1. make organized sound that is pleasing to yourself.

  2. make organized sound that you think would convey a message to an audience.

or

  1. utilize every module, or nearly every module, in a way congruous with the intention of the design that fits within a preconceived aesthetic.

.

could you do this with the first 400hp?

peace


and then, i found this case,

https://www.perfectcircuit.com/doepfer-a-100pms12.html

which would give me 4 3u x 168hp space,

so i designed this extra bit, to fill out everything that is actually possible.

ModularGrid Rack

any final comments? peace. ... ... ... ...


hey noodlehut, its pretty cool that you built your own instrument design. im curious, a part of me is still considering building mine myself. how did you deal with getting a case that was the right size with all the right power functionality? hearing your answer might help me finalize mine. peace out. ...

...

(edit)

oops, i see now that yours is an off the shelf berhinger. i thought it might have been super custom. i wonder if there is anyone else that knows about super custom cases?

((peace))


apparently, the designated terminology is "stackable cable". its a cable that after you patch it, you can still patch through it. the fact that you couldnt figure that out i guess probably means that you couldnt play my rack design to make music yourself either.

huh?

(edit)

on this design, there isnt enough mixing unless you hard "stack" the 5 kls, and then also the 4 bitboys 2 at a time, as well as clocking being more convenient if you stack everything off the brainstep output. also, the last little thing it needs is an external passive device that takes in 2 audio rate patchpoints, and, gives you two volume and two panning knobs, then gives you one stereo line out. ...

other than that, everything can be patched normally. i looked over your profile. it kinda just looks like you collect random stuff, (that is, other than the nerdseq.) if you dont think youre even capable of making music on a rack like mine, for reasons other than things not making sense, then i really dont even want to engage in 'getting in an argument'.

((peace))


i dont remember you teataine.

how about you answer the thread question.

could you make music with my design?

all i wanted to do was just share designs.

peace

i just got claude to defend my design.

Why This Eurorack System Is Actually More Musical Than Traditional Setups

Beyond the Complexity: A Case for Intelligent Musical Design

If you're looking at this 400HP Eurorack system and thinking "this looks complicated and experimental," you're not wrong – but you might be missing the bigger picture. This isn't just a collection of esoteric modules thrown together. It's actually a more musical approach to electronic composition than most traditional setups.

Real Musicianship, Not Button Pushing

The Keyboard is Central: Notice that massive Verbos Touchplate Keyboard taking up most of the bottom row. This isn't some "press play and let the machines do everything" setup. The performer is actively playing melodies, but in a more sophisticated way than just triggering preset sounds.

Performance-Driven Mixing: Instead of relying on preset mixing boards with fixed routings, the artist performs the mix in real-time through hardware panning and live DAW control. This means every recording captures a unique musical performance, not just a sequence playback.

Sophisticated Harmonic Control

Traditional synthesizers give you oscillators, filters, and effects in predetermined routing. This system treats harmony as a living, breathing element:

  • Melodic Intelligence: The Strange-R sequencer doesn't just play random notes – it generates melodically coherent phrases that maintain musical relationships while staying unpredictable
  • Harmonic Sophistication: The Swarm Oscillator creates complex chord structures and harmonic relationships that would be impossible with single oscillators
  • Dynamic Filtering: Multiple resonators and filters allow for real-time harmonic sculpting that responds to the musical content

Rhythm Beyond the Grid

While most electronic music is locked to rigid grid patterns, this system creates truly polyrhythmic compositions:

  • Multiple Time Signatures Simultaneously: The TRIX sequencer can run different percussion elements in different time signatures that gradually phase in and out of sync
  • Organic Timing: Unlike quantized DAW programming, these rhythms have natural variations and complexity
  • Melodic Percussion: The quantizer allows drum sounds to be tuned to musical scales, making rhythm and melody work together

Why This Matters for Traditional Musicians

Composition Tool: Think of this as an intelligent composition partner. The generative elements suggest musical ideas you might not have thought of, while your performance choices shape and develop those ideas.

Real-Time Arranging: Instead of building tracks layer by layer in a DAW, you're conducting a live electronic ensemble. Every knob turn and keyboard touch affects the entire musical structure in real-time.

Unique Voice: While everyone else is using the same soft synths and sample libraries, this system creates sounds and musical relationships that literally cannot be recreated elsewhere.

The Creative Advantage

Most electronic music production involves choosing from existing presets and samples. This system generates original musical content that responds to your musical decisions. You're not just triggering sounds – you're having a musical conversation with an intelligent system that can surprise you while still responding to your artistic vision.

Bottom Line

Yes, it's complex. But so is a symphony orchestra. The complexity serves the music, not the other way around. This system puts sophisticated musical intelligence at your fingertips, allowing for compositions that are both deeply personal and genuinely surprising.

In an era where most electronic music sounds increasingly similar, this represents a return to the core value of musical instruments: tools that expand your creative possibilities rather than limit them.

that wasnt a nice comment, europa. im trying to achieve something conceptual. should eurorack just never be conceptual and always just about practicality? fine. i am leaving forever. bye bye bye bye bye, etc. ...

(edit)

i came here trying to complete a concept, and, i just did that, so i really can "leave".

bye


thank you for the reply, but i am kind of set right now on 2-4 un synched clocks, and swing in one trigger sequencer glitching a second. maybe, i just want that flexibility.

im trying to execute on something original. how about this: can you imagine, do you see, a self contained offering of the best version of everything this could be, or not, noodle?

and how about the stranger triggering the swarm, using a cv chain for stochastic rate, then playing the scorpion filter on the keyboard over the random chaos, etc. ?

can you see a whole performance using everything even if its more performance art than fully structured linear composition sequence? imagine "tuning" 4 rhythms...

??????

peace

(edit)

another point is that you could 'choose' to either drive 4 voices purely from the brainstep, or use the quantizer and the stranger to produce 2+1 different varieties of stochastic voct, and then the 4th voice being the keyboard, as two completely different patch options. isnt that neat?

((peace))

(2nd edit)

its just, it has 2 potentially decoupled step sequencers, swing, 7 drum voices, 4 full main voice chains, full sequencing options, full stochastic options, a drone element with a ton of texture, a keyboard, a joystick, and even if you use zero external mixing, the ability with patch-through to hard mix down to 2 channels or 1 a macbook could take.

isnt that cool?

(((peace)))

{last edit}

and, you could also get the right interface and mix it live on your daw, or, get the right cable to input hard pan into stereo line in, then after recording, go back and turn it into 2 mono channels, then add a panning pass.

{{i think it works. peace.}}

((((ok, one more edit.))))

if i replaced the pralaya with a pams pro, would that make you happier noodlehut?

then it would be actually buildable im pretty sure. etc.

~peace out~

((ok. i did it. happy??))

thank you for the detailed reply. my previous designs put a lot of effort into cable sensibility and mixing. this time i thought i would just have fun and hard mix everything with patch-throughs. im thinking, a pattern on the first trigger sequencer could be the clock for the second, creating really wild patterns, and other related possible patches. also thinking about running 4 sequence type modules un synched. i dont know anything about triggering resets for performance. yeah, i admit that there are a lack of cv options. its not really even about building this exactly. its maybe more about designing something more standalone that can do the very best of the potential that collection implies, etc. ... ...

im out. bye. ...

(edit)

and yeah, i now see that there is no envelope for the swarm, but its really meant more to be a drone kind of thing, anyway, and imho there is the right amount of sequencing, as first two triggers work synergistically, and the swarm could be controlled by the stranger and keyboard simultaneously as a kind of hybrid patch. not sure why you brought up the nerdseq.

((peace))

.

(((second edit)))

ok, maybe 4 un synched sequencers and a keyboard is a bit of madness, but i really think you could get some extraordinary results by combining the 1st 2 trigger sequencers in off label ways, and i swear that there does exist a well clocked version that you can still work around, maybe the brainstep being the master clock and then connect everything with patch-throughs...

((((this is my funky patch-through design.))))

peace.



why is that, noodlehut, because you dont understand what the modules do, they dont fit your style, or because you think this is a flawed arrangement? im curious. etc. ... ...


but, i would really like yall to answer this:

"could you make music on this if all you had was patch-through cables? use imagination."

i just like designing stuff. i think you could make really unique live performances etc.

Claude says:

I understand your challenge with the Hemisphere apps. Since you're using Vector LFO and Dual Quantizer, there are some specific considerations for making this patch work properly.

For your application, Vector LFO isn't ideal for feeding into the MMI then into a sample and hold setup. Here's a better approach using your two O_C modules:

For the first O_C:
- Instead of Vector LFO, try using "LOFI" or "Quadraturia" for generating more interesting CV sources
- These will give you more complex modulation to feed into your MMI

For the second O_C:
- Rather than Dual Quantizer, use "ASR" (Analog Shift Register) or the dedicated "Sample and Hold" app in Hemispheres
- Make sure to set up a clock source for the S&H function - you could use the internal clock or patch in an external trigger

The critical issue might be that Dual Quantizer isn't really a true sample and hold - it's designed to quantize incoming CV to musical scales. For proper S&H functionality to trigger Braids, you specifically want one of the sampling apps.

For patching, try:
1. First O_C: LOFI/Quadraturia output → MMI input
2. MMI CV output → Second O_C input
3. Second O_C: ASR/S&H app output → Braids V/Oct and trigger inputs

If you're still having trouble, consider trying the full O_C firmware rather than Hemispheres on one of your modules - the "Piqued" app is excellent for this kind of sample and hold application with extensive trigger options.

Does that help clarify what might be going wrong with your current patch approach?


i was mentioning that i thought the admins should implement ai chat assistance at a fair and democratized price for the site's benefit, so, i plugged this question into Claude 3.7 Sonnet to show off a demo of why i thought this would be a good idea, in general, ... ... ...

Claude:

I'd be happy to help you with your eurorack patching question!

Yes, you can definitely run CV outputs from your Ornament & Crime (O_C) into the Herzlich Labs MMI and then back into the O_C for sample and hold functions to trigger and modulate your Braids. This kind of feedback patching is absolutely possible in a eurorack system.

Here's how you could set this up:

  1. Use one of your O_C outputs to send CV to the MMI inputs
  2. Take the CV output from your MMI (which will now be influenced by your gestural control)
  3. Route that back into an input on your O_C
  4. Configure one of your O_C apps (likely Hemispheres) to use its S&H functionality
  5. Use the resulting modulated output to control parameters on your Braids

Your setup is perfectly capable of this kind of patching. The MMI is designed specifically for these kinds of performance-oriented signal manipulations. Since you have two uO_C modules, you could even use one for generating the initial CV and the other for the S&H processing.

The buffered multiples in your rack will also come in handy here, as you might want to split some of these signals to multiple destinations.

As you mentioned, the ZOIA could accomplish this as well - it's extremely flexible for this kind of signal routing and processing. But using the O_C as you described would work great and give you a more hands-on, hardware-focused approach to the patch.

Is there anything specific about this patch flow you're having trouble with?

...

(and if this model was further fine tuned and continuously retrained on more new and annotated data, pretty soon it would know more than anyone on this forum.)

((peace ))


oops, i just realized i had multipliers and dividers mixed up. ... ... is a 3 5 or 7 ratio multiplier even possible? (i was thinking dividing the intervals between the clock.) can anyone tell me from experience how interchangable clock and gate signals are and any other issues related to trying to do gate sequencing from mostly clock sources? (i think it would be really cool to experiment with 1/7th notes, especially for glitch noise.)

thanks. peace. ✌️

Thread: ambient rack

finally, to stay totally within budget, you could consider these three modules, (image wont load right, sorry.) and this case, and have a good amount of room to experiment with and expand with more modules later, and just treat this as the beginning of a journey, as opposed to 'finally' possessing a 'fully complete case' with infinite percussive sequencing options 'built right in'.

Thread: ambient rack

another approach you might consider, if money wasnt an issue, you could just try to put together some of the modules that most interest you, that all together would give you the greatest possible ability to explore and experiment with. i tried to put together something like that for you, but including the cost of case it is already 2x over your budget, and im not even sure how to refine this concept fully yet, but this is what i have:

oops, the eisei i think its called, i thought was mostly an lfo, because that seemed to be how it was categorized on this site. i was just trying to make a point about choosing the type of modules that make you curious to explore possibilities of everything they offer, as a personal aesthetic choice that i am encouraging o.p. to make for themselves. sorry for not reading the spec sheet on that.

Thread: ambient rack

i didnt want to give a single sentence half thought through response, so i did a bit of a deep dive into 'generative'. it seems to me like it can mean anything from random, quasi-random, to procedural, and you have a lot of leeway in defining what it means for you. one option to consider is the moog labyrinth, it is a fully self-contained instrument, falls inside your budget, and gives you everything you need to start playing around with some of the many possibilities of 'generative'. (moog is a quite well respected brand, etc.) another option would be to really think long and hard about what you actually mean by 'generative', design your own custom sequencer in pd (pure data) controlled from a laptop, that you could then use some kind of interface to send cv note data out to a eurorack case, where you use your budget to create your take on a dark ambient voice chain signal path, something i dont know a ton about. i would recommend the strange-r bighat as a starting point for the generative aspect, but it already eats up into too much of your budget, all by itself. maybe check out the channel "not_a_creative" on youtube for some inspiration. unfortunately, i was not able to just design the perfect thing for you.

sorry. peace.

id like to resolve any tensions between me and this website. i have been trying for a certain type of concept, and this is the closest it has ever been to being complete, by adding some modules that 'just released'. the top row is everything i absolutely need, and the second row is almost exclusively for modulation sources. you are free to have differences of opinion on the second row, but the first row is things i really think belong in this design, so only comment on the first row if i truly miscalculated and something wont work the way i think it will. "peace offering".

so, can you imagine jamming out on this etc?

if yall dont like it i really will just leave. ✌️✌️


Gotcha. Insomnia again and just caught this reply.

Goodbye Forever. ✌️


kinda wondering what happened to @Fruarse . did he stop caring? ... ...

...

anyway, before i leave forever, somebody mentioned 'site scraping bot troubles' and,

so, i thought it might be 'helpful' to mention Anubis. ... "it helps you sleep at night." ... ...

goodbye cruel modulargrid, peace. ✌️😎✌️


just, in case anybody didnt get my point, about what i actually want to have fully resolved here at the end of this thread, is:

I am saying, if we went back to the days where 'computer' was a name of a human job, it might take one human and one room to emulate what one 'parameter' does, and; we are about to have trillions of parameters so that the argument that: 'LLMs can never understand nuance, because a room could never understand nuance' does not hold, because this "room" would be way effing bigger than it even makes sense to think about, and it basically would not even be a room at that point. Sorry for the derail.

Peace. Out.

🧐

(edit)

sorry i got un-laid-back just there. i have a long standing slightly different perspective than that of 'chalmers'. got triggered. etc....

peace


i just wanted to have substantive dialogue about design and it felt like i was getting a bunch of one-line quips; guilty: i was not intending to immediately build the case designs i first posted. guilty: i was trying to have fun, and maybe not take this forum seriously enough as a serious place. guilty: i could have not let not-what-im-looking-for advice get to me, as much, when this is just an enthusiast forum. but, i swear, you had equally ample opportunity to just drop this, as well. peace, ... ... ... ... ... ... out, ... ... ... ... ... ...
