Zlob Modular - Attenumixer
sold out at the moment
The Attenumixer is a 4 HP 3 channel passive attenuator and mixer module.Each channel is normalled to the sum(VI) so it can be used as a 2 channel mixer and 1 channel attenuator, or a 3 channel mixer, or as 3 separate attenuators. Normalization to the sum is broken by inserting a jack into the outs of channels I-III. The Attenumixer works well with both cv and audio, although the potentiometers have a linear response. Since the module is passive there will be signal loss at the sum out.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.

Zlob Modular - Diode Chaos
only 1 left
Chaotic voltage generator in 3HP. It is a unique module because it has never existed as an electronic music instrument until now. The module is based on a circuit from a paper called “A simple chaotic circuit with a light-emitting diode” written by Volos, Wang, Jafari, and Kapitaniak.Diode Chaos produces 3 phases of interrelated morphing voltages including a chaotic trigger out. The range is 20-30 seconds a cycle up to audio rate, although only the X out and TRIG out go up to audio rate. The frequency is controlled by the RATE knob. Each output exhibits different behavior at different rate settings. X,Y, and Z outs like to stay in the 4vpp range although at different RATE settings the outs can reach 10vpp. The TRIG out chaotically releases 0-10v triggers although sometimes it will spit out smaller voltage peaks.LED soldermask windows provide constant display of positive and negative voltage crossings. Differences between chaos and random (some quoted and summarized material from Ian Fritz’s site) chaos is “highly irregular, but still contained within a finite region (the “strange attractor”)”. Chaos occurs in 3 dimensions chaos needs a non-linear element (with Diode Chaos the nonlinear element is a red LED, and the chaos is directly visible and useable at the TRIG out).DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

Zlob Modular - Entropy Expander
only 2 left
Analog random voltage and noise generator that expands upon the features of the Entropy Euroack Module in 3HPThe Entropy+Expander packs together some of the most random voltage options in 6hp. It provides a controllable “Glide”(slew) out for the S/T\H, a comparator with a controllable rate(“Thrsh”) of random gates(“Rand Gate”) out with an input to compare other waveforms(Comp In, inserting a cable into here breaks the white noise normalization), and high pass filtered white noise resulting in approximate “Blue noise”(+3db/octave) and “Violet noise”(+6db/octave) outs.The unique part of the circuit is a voltage controlled A/B switch thats normalled to the “Rand Gate” out that’s switching between the S/T\H out(left Blue led window)and Infra out(right Red led window), the Glide control also effects the S/T\H coming out of the switch so you can get really random results from the “Entropy Out.” Inserting a cable into “Switch CV In” breaks the random gate normalization and lets you toggle between A/B(left S/T\H out and right Infra out, indicated by the led windows) with your own gate or trigger.There is a jumper on the pcb to select if you want glide on the s/t\h at, Entropy out, or un-slewed operation. There is also a trimmer for setting the amplitude of the incoming signal at “Comp In” which sets the frequency range of random gates. This may have to be adjusted depending on your Entropy version.The random gate range can also be set up more as a noise oscillator by turning the pcb trim(clockwise) up or it can be set so random gates are extremely slow(trim counter clockwise) with minutes between random gates.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

Zlob Modular - Foldiplier
available
The Foldiplier is a 4 HP odd/even harmonics generator with 2 different oscillating feedback paths. The folding core of the design originates from the odd harmonics (middle)section of the Serge Wave Multiplier. But the Foldiplier adds voltage control over the symmetry and offset as well as a switch for feedback, jumper selectable between, a transistor based oscillating fuzz inspired by the Hemmo Bazz Fuss with a lot more low harmonic content and a passive oscillating half wave rectification circuit with more high harmonic content. When these feedback oscillations mix with an incoming waveform some unpredictable and unique nonlinear timbres can be achieved. The module can also be used as a no-input experimental oscillator with the feedback switch engaged. All diodes in the module are silicon.The Fold knob controls the amount of times the waveform is folded in on its self (indicated by the red led window below the knob). The C.V. knob below is an attenuator for incoming control voltage corresponding to the Fold jack(indicated by the red led window above the jack, it only responds to positive voltage). So, the Fold knob acts like an initial amount of folding depending on its position. For example, with the Fold knob fully clockwise you can get even more folds with a control voltage in at the Fold jack. The Offset knob controls how much positive DC voltage(0 to 5v, clockwise) or negative(0 to -5v counter clockwise) DC voltage(indicated by the led window above the Offset jack, red for positive, yellow for negative) injected into the waveform via the Symmetry knob. With the Offset knob position at noon(0v) there will little effect from the Symmetry knob. The Offset jack is expecting +5v to -5v with knob position at noon to scan through the positive and negative voltage. The Symmetry knob controls the amount of negative or positive offset voltage(dependent on the Offset knob) mixed with the waveform(indicated by the yellow led window above the Symmetry jack). If positive voltage is mixed with incoming waveform more folds will occur on the positive troughs of the waveform, likewise, when negative voltage is introduced more folds happen on the negative troughs. This part of the circuit can also be broken down by thinking of the Offset as a voltage controlled crossfader swinging between positive and negative voltages into a VCA controlled by the Symmetry knob and jack. When a voltage is present at the Symmetry jack the Symmetry knob becomes an attenuator. The Symmetry jack only responds to positive voltageDIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

Zlob Modular - MinEQ
only 2 left
This is the newest version of the MinEQ, it adds a rectified clipping feedback circuit to the EQ which produces a wider range of harmonic distortion, interactive self-oscillating, pseudo ring modulation, and richer filter esque timbres based on the input and knob positions. The new version does not invert the input anymore and does not self oscillate without an input present.This hybrid Baxandall circuit provides +/- 20dB~ of boost or cut control over the Low, Mid and High frequency bands of an audio input. The circuit is capable of up to 20vpp~ of boost(with a 10vpp signal) and attenuation down to 1-2vpp depending on the input. The frequency bands are centered near 30Hz(Low), 1kHz(Mid), and 10kHz(High). With all the potentiometers at noon, the MinEq passes the signal relatively unaltered.The Panel is reversible, one side with graphics and soulless side with less graphics.DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2.

Zlob Modular - MiniAtt
available
Dual summed mute Attenuator, Offset Generator, Mixer, and Mute in 2HPThe newest 666 version (2021) can be powered and will provide Offset of 0-5V with nothing plugged into the “IN” for each channel controlled by each respective Potentiometer. The “Sum Out” will also be able to send out 0-10v~ volts depending on the setting of each Potentiometer. Both channels are normalled to the sum, so inserting a signal into an “IN” will remove it from the “Sum Out. There will be signal loss at the sum out, because the module is passive. Great for cv or audio although the module ships with linear pots.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module.
