Equipment Demos

#1222 Performance VCO (Look Mum No Computer)

The #1222 Performance VCO is a powerful analog voltage-controlled oscillator originally designed by Look Mum No Computer. This module is entirely hand-built at Automattika Productions from PCB up, delivering the warmth and unpredictability of true analog circuitry while maintaining modern stability and tuning precision.

Its design allows for expressive pitch modulation, PWM, sync, and frequency modulation—making it perfect for dynamic sound design, basslines, and evolving textures.

Hire me to integrate the #1222 into your project for custom sound design, modular sampling, or MIDI-driven synthesis sessions:

Erica Synths DIY VCO

The Erica Synths DIY VCO is a classic analog oscillator known for its rich harmonics and rock-solid tuning stability. Built entirely by hand at Automattika Productions, this module reproduces the raw, distinctive character of vintage Eastern European circuitry with a modern precision twist.

This VCO serves as a versatile foundation for melodic leads, layered bass textures, and evolving modular timbres. Through careful calibration and custom component selection, each unit delivers consistent tone shaping with PWM, sync, and FM capabilities.

Explore the Erica Synths DIY VCO kit and documentation via Erica Synths’ official DIY page, or experience it in action by hiring Automattika Productions for modular sound design and MIDI-based synthesis sessions:

Erica Synths Bassline

The Erica Synths Bassline module is a full analog synthesizer voice built around the legendary Polivoks filter architecture, known for its aggressive resonance and deep tonal weight. Hand-built at Automattika Productions, this Bassline module forms the foundation of Automattika’s signature low-end — raw, thick, and unmistakably analog.

By routing the Bassline through the Making Sound Machines Farbfolder, I create a powerful hybrid texture that merges warm analog drive with digital wavefolding grit — a combination capable of anything from industrial distortion to glitched harmonic overtones.

Whether you’re after dark, evolving drones, cinematic bass layers, or sharp modular leads, the Erica Synths Bassline can anchor your sound design session with commanding presence.

Hire Automattika Productions to integrate the Bassline and Farbfolder combo into your project for custom sound design, sampling, or MIDI-controlled modular synthesis:

CCTV QuadTec 101

The CCTV QuadTec 101 is a hybrid quad-voice oscillator module built for deep, evolving sound textures and layered polyphony. At Automattika Productions, it serves as one of the central sound sources in my modular system — allowing me to sculpt both precise harmonic layers and unpredictable analog grit.

In practice, I tune two oscillators in unison to build tonal depth, then scroll through multiple voicing modes on both units to shift their character in real time — from bright and digital to dark and analog-inspired. Once the harmonic foundation is set, I engage the stereo panning functionality, creating wide, motion-rich soundscapes ideal for ambient scoring, cinematic textures, and spatial audio production.

The QuadTec’s flexibility makes it equally suited for evolving drones, melodic synthesis, or intricate percussive modulation. It’s a perfect demonstration of Automattika’s philosophy — where modular synthesis meets precision sound design.

Experience the QuadTec 101 in your next project:

Arturia MicroFreak

The Arturia MicroFreak is one of the few instruments in my collection that I didn’t build — but it’s easily one of the most valuable tools in my entire sound-design arsenal. This hybrid digital-analog synthesizer combines wavetable, FM, granular, and virtual analog engines with a true analog filter, producing an extraordinary range of tonal colors.

At Automattika Productions, the MicroFreak often serves as a textural or modulation source, generating both melodic and chaotic elements that blend seamlessly with my hand-built modular system. Its polyphonic aftertouch keyboard, deep modulation matrix, and MIDI-to-CV integration make it ideal for experimental synthesis, rhythmic sequencing, and layered post-production sound design.

When paired with my Eurorack system, the MicroFreak becomes a command center — driving modular voices, triggering envelopes, or supplying unpredictable modulation to analog circuits. It bridges the precision of modern DSP with the warmth and imperfection of analog tone-shaping.

Hire Automattika Productions to explore what the MicroFreak can bring to your custom sound design, scoring, or production project:

CCTV Immutable Plaits

The CCTV Mutable Instruments Plaits (hand-built by Automattika Productions) is a multi-engine macro oscillator capable of generating everything from classic analog waveforms to complex digital synthesis textures. As one of the most versatile sound sources in my Eurorack system, it embodies the perfect fusion of DIY engineering precision and cutting-edge synthesis design.

Each Plaits module is carefully assembled and calibrated by hand — from soldering the surface-mount components to fine-tuning the trimmers for accurate voltage tracking. In my setup, it’s often used as a primary voice for melodic material or percussive synthesis, taking advantage of its extensive model library that includes virtual analog, FM, additive, granular, and physical modeling algorithms.

Paired with my MIDI-to-CV network and modulation sources, the Plaits becomes an expressive powerhouse — capable of producing realistic instrument tones, synthetic percussion, or organic evolving textures ideal for film scoring and immersive sound design.

Bring the unique voice of this handcrafted module into your project:
