Videos of VCV Rack patches using Sapphire modules by myself and others. No talking, just patching and listening.
Chaops
A left-expander module that provides additional functionality for Sapphire chaos modules.
Echo
A customizable multi-tap delay that lets you build your own unique delay setup, one tap at a time.
Elastika
A complex sound generator that simulates the physics of a hexagonal mesh of balls and springs.
Sapphire Elastika documentation
Empath
An expandable array of parallel bandpass, notch, and comb filters. Features internal chaotic modulation options.
Env
A polyphonic envelope follower and pitch detector.
Frolic
A chaotic oscillator for generating 3 simultaneous smooth but unpredictable voltages.
Galaxy
Galaxy is a stereo reverb filter, and is a clone of the Airwindows Galactic algorithm by Chris Johnson.
Glee
A chaotic oscillator for generating 3 simultaneous smooth but unpredictable voltages.
Gravy
A stereo filter with CV-controllable frequency, resonance, mix, and gain. Operates in lowpass, bandpass, or highpass mode.
Hiss
A random vector generator whose outputs point in all directions of an N-dimensional space with equal probability. Useful for generating vector noise input to physics simulations like Nucleus.
Lark
A chaotic oscillator for generating 3 simultaneous smooth but unpredictable voltages.
Moots
Simulates plugging/unplugging cables, which is sometimes different from setting their voltages to 0.
Nucleus
A simulation of five particles obeying alternative laws of physics. The output can be used for control voltages or audio signals.
Sapphire Nucleus documentation
Sauce
A polyphonic filter with CV-controllable frequency, resonance, mix, and gain. Provides simultaneous lowpass, bandpass, and highpass outputs. This is the polyphonic version of the Gravy stereo filter.
Pivot
Twists an input 3D vector by a CV-adjustable angle. Pivot is useful in combination with Frolic, Glee, and Rotini to create novel chaotic control signals for modulating generative movement in your patches.
Polynucleus
Just like Nucleus, only with a single polyphonic port for each particle instead of 3 monophonic ports.
Sapphire Polynucleus documentation
Pop
A polyphonic trigger generator that can simulate the statistical behavior of radioactive decay, generate completely regular pulses, or anywhere in between.
Rotini
A utility module for combining Frolic/Glee into more complex chaotic 3D vector signals. Calculates the cross product of two input vectors.
Split/Add/Merge
Splits, adds, and/or merges a stereo or 3D polyphonic signal with 2 or 3 monophonic signals. This is like VCV Merge and VCV Split combined, but only for a maximum of 3 channels. SplitAddMerge saves patch screen space because it is only 2 HP wide.
Tin
An alterative input module for feeding data into Tricorder.
Tout
A utility for extracting vector data from Tricorder as output ports.
Tricorder
A 3D oscilloscope designed for Frolic, Glee, and other 3D signals.
Sapphire Tricorder documentation
Tube Unit
A complex tubular waveguide synthesizer.
Sapphire Tube Unit documentation
Zoo
A user-programmable chaotic oscillator. Allows you to enter your own chaotic attractor formulas to create an unlimited variety of smoothly changing voltages. Comes with plenty of example factory presets.
