VCV KKampf

A series of small utility VCV Rack modules created for educational and entertainment purposes. The list of modules, available within this plugin will be hopefully, expanded in the future.

Modules

HK-1. Glider

So, this is my first custom VCV rack module and, coincidentally, first ever attempt at DSP. Glider provides a “portamento glide” effect to pitch CVs, similar to ones you’ll find in monophonic synths. Out CV will be smoothed linearly between the steps , the single knob controls the speed.

HK-2. R-Mod

Simple ringmodulator with some very primitive output saturation, as ring modulation product can go sufficiently beyond VCV Rack's voltage standards. You can learn more about this plugin development in my tech-blog post

HK-3. HADSR

Well. That's an odd one. With me really wanting to add a simple drum machine swing to my sequences, and not coming up with anything better than manually delaying the off-beats. I purposely made it look like a badly modded original ADSR Fundamental module.
