Hello hello, here's my second eurorack module øchd or ochd. It's pronounced "oct" as in octave or octuplet and as if by magic there's eight outputs on this module, an octuplet of analogue LFOs if you will. I often find I need more modulation, simple sources that will keep things moving and stop things getting repetitive. That’s why ochd was brought to life, to keep patches organically drifting and moving… and as it’s modular, we wanted an intuitive easy to use module with plenty of patchable tricks up it’s sleeves too!

ochd is a 4HP Eurorack module with eight analogue triangle LFOs. The outputs go from fast on the top output to slow on the bottom output. The default ranges are deliberate NOT synced. These are free running LFOs that were tuned by ear to be musical useful for a range of fast to slow modulations in a patch. Organic animation, drifting and musical phasing is the intention of the module. The rate control controls the rate of all LFOs globally and takes this into lower audio rates right down to 25 minute cycles on the lowest output. This can be extended even slower with CV, with the CV input and attenuverter on board and we can also track and hold the outputs with a negative CV, interrupting and holding modulation values with external gates of CVs. Another trick to take this from simple triangle shapes is to patch a spare output into the CV input and wave shape with feedback. Exponential curves, odd squares, stepped waveforms and more are available with some adjustment of the attenuverter and using different outputs to voltage control itself.

While patching a prototype at DivKid HQ Richard Devine said this was "the most organic little modulator ever" - lovely stuff! 

This module is made in collaboration with Instruo and I'm very proud to be part of their amazing line up of modules. https://www.instruomodular.com

Nice, have a 4hp available spot that it would fit well in 😃

Richard Egan

wow great and organic module ... well done all

Stujay

Whoo! You’re killin’ it!

Clayton Grey

Mini just friends! Pre-ordered.

M.S. Patterson

Nicely done! Will definitely pick one up. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Robert Hyman

This is brilliant Ben! A friend and I were just talking about more modulation and Batumi seems to be the best bang for the buck - until now. This is a great option and I may very well have to pick one up. Is great to have so many LFO’s in only 4HP and the CV options make it that much more powerful and flexible. I’m pleased designers like yourself think of ideas like this and make them happen. Sometimes you see something new and think “why didn’t someone think of that before”. I’m glad you did!

Niklas Thulin

I'll order it from EfN at Once !!! ;-)

Another great/useful little module (looking forward to what you can dream up next) but, dammit, that's cruel ... releasing it right before Christmas when the money is already spent and at the same time as Jason's own Arbhar module is available as well :-) Anyway, enough complaining ... it looks very nice (well, it's got THAT Instruo-style front panel, hasn't it‽) and, conceptually, it seems to be very useful. One thing, though, is there a manual or at least a QRG on how to change the capacitors to adjust the LFO ranges (there's nothing on the Instruo site on the product's page) and do you get a selection of these with the module or do you have to source your own or is it based around jumper switches? Anyway, methinks a brace of those would be very handy in my case i.d.c. Cheers

How does it work when you do these modules. Is it them who reaches out to you or do you reach out to them? How does the process look like?

Stujay

Just pre-ordered it from Perfect Circuit. Merry Christmas to us both! :)

Stujay

Apparently the first pre-order from perfect circuit sold out instantly. I gotta wait for the 2nd. Bah!

Great LFO for randomising stuff all around the patch. Simple yet very useful tool :D
