The CalSynth Ripley is a versatile Eurorack module based on the Mutable Instruments Ripples V2 filter. Notably, the Ripley enhances the sound-shaping capabilities arising from its four-pole analog filter. It offers two distinct input paths, an overdrive feature for sonic distortion, and a neutral path that retains the refined characteristics of the original Ripples mkI. It boasts three filter modes: high-pass, band-pass, and low-pass, with an adjustable slope on the latter two. A unique feature of the Ripley is its self-oscillation across all modes, allowing it to also function as a sine-wave generator. An internal VCA is included for low-pass output, and multiple CV inputs take in 1V/Oct for frequency over four octaves, frequency with an attenuverter, and resonance. The unit’s outputs are managed with a VCA level control for low-pass output.

The article discusses the integration of various Eurorack modules including Michigan Synth Works Micro Temps Utile, Noise Engineering Xer Mixa, Visible Signals Video Mult, and Mosaic Line Out in a Eurorack setup housed within the Intellijel 4U x 104HP Palette Case.
The Michigan Synth Works Micro Temps Utile is a clock generator facilitating intricate rhythm patterns by varying clock division and multiplication. This module also offers CV inputs for level modulation in the mixing process.
The Noise Engineering Xer Mixa is a summing mixer module that receives clock signals from the Micro Temps Utile and modulates audio signals accordingly. It offers tactile faders and clickless mutes for real-time sound sculpting. Its built-in analogue leveling amplifier enhances the dynamic range and impact of the production.
The Visible Signals Video Mult is employed to distribute signals from the Micro Temps Utile to multiple destinations without signal degradation.
The Mosaic Line Out 1U tile adjusts signal levels for seamless integration with external audio devices. This piece of hardware ensures optimal audio quality is maintained when signals are transmitted to external mixers or effects units.
This collective integration of modules allows for precise clock management, versatile signal processing, and optimal level control.
