#StudioEquipment - Birdkids Raven Analogue Synthesiser Voice Module (Birdkids) ~ Lurid House Live

Raven's system-architectural idea was about going back to the basics of subtractive synthesis. This was designed with the aim of capturing the raw, non-linearity and honesty of a 100% analogue circuit. The main engineering challenge of Raven was consolidating a highly complex conglomerate of modular, discrete designs into a slim 3U / 42HP (Eurorack) form-factor resulting in a uniquely sounding subtractive, modular, high-performance, musical instrument.

Raven is comprised of:

Dual, wide-range Voltage Controlled Oscillators (C1-C9), unisono trackable with extensive FM / AM / PWM possibilities.
Dual, wide-range Low Frequency Oscillator (ca. 0.1Hz - Audio) switchable-mode.
A high-headroom, Voltage Controlled Crossfader (A / B).
The original TheBateleur Voltage Controlled Filter.
Two Voltage Controlled Amplifier circuits - A high-performance THAT2162 Blackmer VCA and an Optocoupler VCA reminiscent of legendary West-Coast designs as a serial-saturation option.

Raven combines the simplicity of a performance-friendly, semi-modular synthesizer voice with fully-modular, infinitely flexible, workflow possibilities by assigning Control Voltage I / O's at (almost) every point in the signal workflow.

Each modular component can be seen as a standalone, self-sufficient entity.

The normalized VCF can be used as a standalone 24dB LPF or 3rd Oscillator-voice in self-oscillation range, perfectly tracking 1V / Oct by choice.
