Dannysound Cali Oscillator and Timbre: Buchla-style waveshaping and folding

This is the first in a series of videos featuring the Eurorack modules from Dannysound. I’ve been building these DIY kits one at the time over the past few months and now have the EN129 and Cali Osc oscillators, the Timbre wavefolder, the Multimode Ladder Filter, the MM VCA and the Looping VC-ADSR envelope, giving me a super-solid analogue core for my modular system.

In this video I’ll walk you through three patches focused on West Coast-style waveshaping and wavefolding in the Cali Osc and Timbre. These patches also make use of the other Dannysound modules mentioned above, as well as a selection of others including the Joranalogue Contour 1 and Filter 8, and the AI Synthesis LPG.

Next time I’ll take a deeper dive into the through-zero and logarithmic FM capabilities of the EN129, and I’ll explore some techniques for oscillator animation, from PWM and sawtooth modulation to audio-rate waveform switching. Stay tuned!

For in-depth, feature-by-feature guides to the individual Dannysound modules, I recommend the videos by Divkid (   / divkidvideo  ) and Synth DIY Guy (   / synthdiyguy  . The latter includes some build guides.
The kits are available from Thonk: https://www.thonk.co.uk/brand/dannyso...
