Crazy Chicken
Welcome to the world of Crazy Chicken, a modular brand founded by a talented musician and engineer hailing from Kyiv, Ukraine. At the core of the Crazy Chicken brand is a philosophy rooted in crafting versatile modules that cater to live performances and home studios. The dedication to quality is evident in the design, ensuring that the knobs are solid, offering a smooth turning experience. The modules are thoughtfully engineered to deliver optimal performance and functionality.
Furthermore, the Crazy Chicken brand thrives on experimentation, with the founder constantly exploring innovative combinations of functions within a single module. His passion for pushing boundaries and embracing new possibilities shines through in every creation. Even as simple idea as a Multiple is taken one step further by the Crazy Chicken.
The Crazy Chicken's DANCE LFO is:
8 waveforms to choose: ramp up, ramp down, square, triangle, sine, u-shape, sample and hold style random levels and random slopes.
Tempo can be set with the knob, as non discrete value, or can be set by tap-tempo button as well as external clock signal.
Amplitude control. You can set amplitude by knob which acting as attenuator. Or you can set/modulate amplitude by external CV, a same way if you had a additional VCA to control amplitude! So with DANCE you no longer need to have exeternal attenuators/VCAs, its already built-in.
You can CV-modulate Any parameters of DANCE: choose waveform, frequency and amplitude modulation.
Two outputs: unipolar (0..+5V) and bipolar (-5..+5V) which work at the same time and has signal status LEDs.
Frequency range from 0.05Hz (20 seconds per cycle) to audio-rate.
Size: 6hp
Active multiplier for accurate copying of signals: 2x4 or 1x8 (normalised input).
The module has an indication to show the status of the signals.
Red - positive signal polarity, green - negative, on audio rates - orange.
Size: 4hp
Fully analog design.
24 db/oct LP filter
Built-in modulator that modulates the signal in unison, adding harmonics below the main tone "subs" and above "overtones"
Overdrive on the output, which based on rare soviet diodes and can reach a warm and "colored" sound
Cutoff and resonance can be CV-modulated. Cutoff also supports a V/Oct tracking
Size: 8hp
This product has more than one color option, please ask us for the availability.
A pretty rare bird in the Eurorack world, a case especially designed and assembled to be completely portable. It is 48hp and (drumroll) it is USB powered.
And it means precisely this, you can take it whenever you want. It can work from a standard power bank. Preferably with 2.4A USB out and at least 10000mAh. Such power should be sufficient for a few hours of playing your lovely rack.
Inside, there is a power bus that is also designed and built by the Crazy Chicken in Ukraine. It is compact, offering you 8 power slots, which is perfectly enough for 48hp.
The lid is deep enough, so you can close your system fully patched.
The board will deliver up to 410mA on the + 12V rail, 410mA on the -12V rail. The current on the 5V rail will depend on the power supply.
Size: 42hp
Weight: 1,25kg
3U 84hp case - ideal for travel/transportation, as well as a home/studio 1-row case.
Comfortable handle and secure latch.
Deep case for skiff and regular (non-skiff) modules.
The cap is also deep enough to keep the patch during transportation or storage.
Ventilation holes for cooling.
The case has Meanwell power installed, the power cable is included.
Six Eyes - 32-step sequencer based on interesting algorithm. Melodies or modulations are created with 6 knobs. 32-step and only 6 knobs. So how does it work?
The upper knob sets the initial value of CV and acts as a offset generator. Next to this knob is an eye that never sleeps.
The second knob sets his own offset which is summed with the initial value when its eye is awake. This eye alternately asleep during one step and during one step awake. So the full period for this eye corresponds to 2 steps.
The third knob also sets its value when its eye is awake. But this time he alternately sleeps for 2 steps and wakes up for 2 steps. The full period for this eye corresponds to 4 steps.
And so on for another knobs:
The 4th knob operates with a period of 8 steps.
The 5th knob operates with a period of 16 steps.
And the 6th knob operates with a period of 32 steps.
Finally all offset values are summed up and create an interesting sequence that depends on the position of the knobs and whether the eyes are asleep or awake.
All knobs are bipolar and can set negative or positive offsets. Zero value corresponds to the "12 o'clock" position.
CLOCK - simple clock/click/triger input. CLOCK can accept regular or occasional triggers. The Six Eyes sequencer is always waiting for a signal to go to the next step.
RESET (or in the context of the Six Eyes sequencer it can be said "sleep") input:
- send short trigger to reset the sequencer (jumps to the initial step);
- or send long gate signal to hold the sequencer on the initial step;
- the same thing can be done manually via the button: short press to reset the sequencer or long press to hold the sequencer on the initial step.
OUT - the sequencer output. CV output range from -6V to +6V (12 octaves in total). Output CV values are not quantized same as in all analog sequencers. You can use unquantized values for "true" modular sound or you can add a quantizer after Six Eyes to keep your melody or modulation in a scale you want.
