Name that module

I was watching Sam’s POV YouTube ‘short’ this afternoon and wondered what this module is:


(Between the LFO and Braids)
It creates a nice octave effect - some kind of stepped filter/distortion?

Any ideas?

I’m now at the stage where I can start planning more processing modules such as filters and waveshapers as most of my oscillators are nearly done.

Also curious what module he uses for his snare…

I don’t have time to go through it in detail right now, but this video might have the answers:

That is one expensive PCB though:

I can’t seem to find a schematic or anything, it seems to be closed source :frowning:

The ‘octave’ module is not the same as the VCF in the walkthrough, unless the knobs have magically moved positions.

A $90 PCB! Get out of town. I can buy a steel drum for that much. I already spent 30 on the hexinverter 909 clap.

Somewhere he explains that it’s a module from frequency central that he uses to add an octave switch to the braids. It operates on cv only. It can do more, but he only uses that feature, if I remember correctly…

I suppose it’d be too much to ask for them to open source it.

I have had a KOSMO octaver on my TODO list for a long time now with two false starts (based on @analogoutput’s dacino), might have to revive that project now that I’ve figured out how to tame KiCad…

A precision added is the thing you’re looking for, and, as much as I love them, there’s definitely no 'duino required for that one (;

There’s these:

Or this:

There’s certainly no shortage of octaver designs.

I would like to have the octave switch together with a glide and a detune, like the cosmic superspreader :slight_smile: and it should have the connections for Sam’s VCOs :wink:
Some day I might design it…
