- Hello hello, here's my second eurorack module øchd or ochd. It's pronounced "oct" as in octave or octuplet and as if by magic there's eight outputs on this module, an octuplet of analogue LFOs if you will. I often find I need more modulation, simple sources that will keep things moving and stop things getting repetitive. That’s why ochd was brought to life, to keep patches organically drifting and moving… and as it’s modular, we wanted an intuitive easy to use module with plenty of patchable tricks up it’s sleeves too!
ochd is a 4HP Eurorack module with eight analogue triangle LFOs. The outputs go from fast on the top output to slow on the bottom output. The default ranges are deliberate NOT synced. These are free running LFOs that were tuned by ear to be musical useful for a range of fast to slow modulations in a patch. Organic animation, drifting and musical phasing is the intention of the module. The rate control controls the rate of all LFOs globally and takes this into lower audio rates right down to 25 minute cycles on the lowest output. This can be extended even slower with CV, with the CV input and attenuverter on board and we can also track and hold the outputs with a negative CV, interrupting and holding modulation values with external gates of CVs. Another trick to take this from simple triangle shapes is to patch a spare output into the CV input and wave shape with feedback. Exponential curves, odd squares, stepped waveforms and more are available with some adjustment of the attenuverter and using different outputs to voltage control itself.
While patching a prototype at DivKid HQ Richard Devine said this was "the most organic little modulator ever" - lovely stuff!
This module is made in collaboration with Instruo and I'm very proud to be part of their amazing line up of modules. www.instruomod...

What a cool little module - good luck with it!
This makes ochd one of the top modulators in eurorack.
thanks
How could this great module have passed me by so far? Great idea!
Well I'm glad you've found it now. There's also an expander just released if you haven't seen that - th-cam.com/video/vCZuS5pQirQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xMzDMGY3MfX-0rGR
The sound @1:00 is just truly special. Very cool how you showed it on the Datas. Congrats on the new module man!
Thank you so much for the informative video. I just purchased a new Ochd and love it. Lots of exploring and experimentation ahead😊❤
Thanks Lisa I really appreciate the comment and support. Lovely to hear that you're getting on with ochd so well too. Here for any questions, enjoy the LFOs! :)
Thank you, for all these Tools. Today øchd arrived 🤩. I ordered mutes - and hope it will get in stock at my dealer. Next month , øchd expander is on my wishlist. Thank you again for all these great little, so needed tools 🧰 🛠️🤖
Thank you, for the support and comment. I hope those modules provide some great results for you.
Just wanted to thank you for this awesome module. I'm sure it was a blast seeing your ideas and concepts come to life. My very own ochd arrived yesterday and I've been patching it up since, even as I write this. Thanks also, for terrific interviews with other modular musicians and for everything you do within our cool, nerdy community. Like others have said: Ace.
Hey, man! It’s about a year later and I wanted to tell you that øchd remains one of my favorite modules. It has an almost permanent connection to WORNG Vector Space, providing a large array of slow, subtle modulations. I prefer it over Batumi for simplicity and immediacy. Super nice design and implementation. Thanks, for all of that! Hope life is good. ✌️
that's a great pairing with the Vector Space, giving lots of permutations to add into the mix. Feeding one of those outs back to the ochd CV input would be nice to try - I need to do that now.
Fantastic idea of a module, the beautiful Instruo look is icing on a delicious looking cake ! This is essentially how I use the Black Octasource from Erica, but this one is one third of the space. I'll be all over it when it's in stock at SchneiderLaden !
Picked one of these up and it’s lovely.
Knocked it out of the park, kid!
Man, this module is amazing! Glad I have it! Thank you!
Just bought it. It is selling quick. I can see this going so well with rings/clouds.
ah cool thanks, enjoy it. I like it moving really slowly with Rings and Clouds so the core tone is moving around an ever shifting set of FX parameters.
@@DivKiddude. I love it, haha. It is perhaps the best, and more reasonable price LFO modular. I use it for QPASS/Rings/Magneto/Quad VCA CV inputs at the same time. Off topic though, I really want that RND Step, it is no where to be found, haha.
Your mug is beautiful my dear and so is your module
I just buy one, tomorow in my Rack, Thx DivKid and Instruo
Good stuff, enjoy it!
Great job! Definitely getting one whenever they show up on Perfect Circuit or Control
Very cool! I like the fact that they're not synced in any way, as you said, it adds this organic feel to the patch. I guess that also sampling them for pitch information can be interesting, having a few sequences that are not related coming in and out. Nice!
Just ordered one. Can’t wait!
Cheers! Enjoy it.
Oh well done on this one! Just bought one. What an amazing addition to my rack. Thank you for persistently bothering Instruo to bring this to life for us.
haha did I say I persistently bothered Instruo? Far from it all nice conversations with the team up there.
We love your fugly mug and can't wait to try the new module!!
Just purchased mine from UK'S Elevator Sound.
Will be my first LFO outside of using sequenced cv from Keystep Pro
enjoy it Martin, the mix of smooth drifting stuff against sequenced CV is a lovely place to be with your modulation.
Mine is in the mail! Looks like it is exactly what I need in my Eurorack.
cool enjoy it! It keeps it's way into my patches and it's great to see it do so for others too.
@@DivKid It just arrived, YAY! ^___^ It's awesome combined with Plaits and the Morgasmatron!
@@DivKid 5 months on it's still the most used module in my EuroRack case. Absolutely brilliant :)
Amazeballs! This with BIA or Elements or... Must-Buy! Congratulations!!
Just what the doctor ordered!! Very useful little tool! Thanks for your very helpful reviews.
I feel like this could work really well with a qpas! Awesome module
Just ordered one from Control Voltage. Can't wait to patch it in. Never enough modulation! Keep up the good work, many of us appreciate your knowledge and enthusiasm.
Ben, this is an incredible module! Glad your idea has come to fruition. Goes to show what those close to the Eurorack world can come up with. Your patches are awesome examples of why modular rocks. Cheers!
Awesome job, Ben! Just ordered one.
Thanks Ben & Jason for this wonderful collaboration! Yet another fabulous Instruo module comes to life!!!
I had a Neural Agonizer dual reverb unit that had 8 CV ins, I used to use the 8 outputs on my STG Soundlabs Mankato to modulate it and it made these gorgeous and haunting Godzilla screams
That’s mad how they made a module with you. What a cool company.
Beautifully uncomplicated but extremely useful. Great new module.
Sick, even better than what I guessed it was!
Cool module . Before you said what it was called my brain was calling it the "0 Kid " as in "Oh coast".
Alan C, I like that.
Okkered, surely? Like awkward, but from the wrong side of the Pennines 🤣
Ordered! Can’t wait to play with this one. Lots of happy accidents to ensue.
It would be nice to see this module used to control the VCA of several voices in a generative patch. It could just bring in and out different drones while also providing motion to their timber.
I could see myself using this to eliminate some of the extra LFO modules I have as a more centralized hub for modulation. I deff am going to pick this one up when I have the cash for it and when Perfect Circuit gets them in stock.
he did
Just ordered from Cymru . Been waiting for something like this to go in the skiff. Can't wait.
My ochd arrived (along with your Mutes module) this week and it’s awesome in every way (and so is Mutes). Can’t wait till your next 4hp comes out, whatever and whenever that’ll be :)
This is going to be the companion for my Dove Audio WTF Oscillator
Same.
Awesome! Just ordered one and am looking forward to trying it out in person! I always get the impression that you have a great feeling for striking the right balance between simplicity, versatility and surprise factor that often are the most fun modules to use.
Simple and handy. The functionality you've designed into a single CV input and attenuvertor is clever!
This looks really useful for only 4HP! Good job Divkid and Instruo!
Neeearly perfect! For my taste a slow and a fast sinus added would have made it absolutely neat. Very useful modul, thanks!
First.
Ace.
: D !!!
Divkid > mylar
I heard this in your voice.
I wanted to like this comment, but the likes were at 69 and I found it impossible to upset that balance, so you get a reply instead
@@dillpickle2131 DivKid≈Mylar
I have a Verbos Harmonic Oscillator. Looking forward to trying this out with it.
That's what I'm talking about!
got one and really love it !
glad to hear it, I use mine all the time.
My there's some lovely patches in this video. And what a great module, the t&h! Looking forward to picking this up somewhere in the coming weeks.
this fills so many needs! thank you for bringing it to the market! cheers
Purchasing as soon as its available. This is extremely useful and thanks, Ben!! I can't wait to see what else you come up with!
Great idea and awesome little module! Nice one, Ben!
I can't wait for you buying one or two 😉
Wow! Amazing amazing work Ben (and Instruo)! I'm definitely going to get one of these asap.
Ben!!! It’s gorgeous. Congratulations.
Thank you Ben for everything you do!!!!
I was looking for a quad lfo and something random, as the only lfo I have is that one on Yarns. Then I bump into this. Analog, drifting, not four but 8 lfos, cv input, reasonable price. It was a no-brainer. I literally just finished the video, checked Signal Sounds, it was in stock so I ordered one instantly. You really saved me some money, so now I can spend more on other modules too :D Thank you, can't wait to try it! :)
Magnificent idea! User developed, perfectly designed. Thx!🙌🏻
Beautiful! Love simple but highly satisfying modules like this one, the philosophy makes me think of the the Worng Soung Stage, not a lot to worry about and very natural results
Very promising module, looking forward to hearing more demos!
Good on you, man. Rad werk 🛠
Would love to see this paired with a 4 operator FM synth, like an Akemie’s Castle
You seem like a really nice person. I bought one. It's on pre-order :)
Very coooool! Nice work dude.
Can't wait for Patchwerks to receive their order.
Just ordered and just what I needed but didn't previously know I did!
Super cool idea for a module. I'll be picking this one up.
looks fantastic
This is very cool. Wonderfully musical.
Congrats! Great module and a great company to team up with!
now i want to see a brother/sister module of this with synced outputs and a clock input to have both flavors of what people mostly need =)
The thought of this paired with a mimeophon is blowing my mind.
That's exactly how I use Octasource most of the time... 😉
Another amazing pair should be e-rm Polygogo!
Dude. Seriously posted to Instagram an hour ago that I was happy with my setup. LOL ordered one.
Congrats!
System DivKid, 4hp at a time...
Well that's a no brainier purchase - another great idea, well done!
Nice! Now if I can just get out of the mindset of synced LFOs. :-) I like the self patching possibilities of this alot...
I recently bought a triple lfo that has no sync capabilities, its been a really cool learning experience as I have always synced them
Ordered from Signal Sounds. Look forward to playing with it.
Looking forward to trying one of these with (a) Doepfer A-152/A-155, or (b) NLC Cluster matrix mixer, for somewhat erratically selecting slices of sound. Also for very gently influencing processors like Echophon/Erbeverb.
What a great little module. I might have to pick it up
Oh, this would pair wonderfully with the SWAN. Defo need it.
patch suggestions: ochd vs any multi-channel bipolar VC mixer, outs to a four-voice drone. Particularly interested in self-scaling, mixing, and feedback patching. Also ochd vs comparators, mixers, and sample-holds, I'd imagine this is an excellent un-random random generator.
also curious about what's going on under the hood--are the LFO ratios (or the amount which VC rate affects the faster or slower oscillators) spreadable? I'm all about keeping my system small but I'd absolutely be down for an 8hp version or an expander with some ratio controls.
Congrats bro! This is pretty dope!
Ooh fun! I’ll be picking up one of these for sure.
I believe this would be a good addition to the 84HP "chaotic" system I am attempting to put together. I'm also slack-jawed at that wall of modules. I'm struggling to work past the guilt of speeding the money to fill 84HP. That's got to be $50,000 worth of goodies blinking and beeping behind Ben Wilson.
Smooth unsynced modulation is absolutely just as much at home with stable traditionally "musical" systems as it is more experimental and chaotic. Random would be too. I'd strongly encourage the use of both (whether it's with my modules or not, I'm more interested in people doing it with whatever they have).
Anyway that's a bit of a side thought, onto your comment ...
Really funny you mention my full name, not that I mind, but what's the point?
Does it matter what anyone else is using? Has? How they got there? I won't go on too much but really don't worry about anyone else. Enjoy what you have, what you can use, integrate it with other things, try to make smart educated choices as to what to get next based on your current experience and letting the learning of existing things inform the next purchase.
Very useful module! 💡🐒
Seems like what the Erica Synths Octasource should have been... just ordered one. Great idea, DivKid!
oh damn....that's awesome
Got this module, its lovely. I have it modulating the Xaoc Odessa and Verbos HO !!
Hey man, I preordered mine today!
BIG HUG!
This would make a great companion to my Verbos HO. Good job!
Jeez this looks great. Only thing I'd add is attenuation of the outputs, but can do that externally...
if those LEDs were instead little LED knob attenuators.... mmmmmmmmm
Nice and lovely
nice one chief, will be grabbing one of these as soon as
perfect, have been looking for 8 LFOs. on the shopping list.
Well done.
Amazing! Congrats 👏
Very nice!
this is exactly what i've been looking for to go with e370. this current trend of heavy users (pun intended) collaborating with manufacturers is evolving the market into more relevant variety i feel.
And Thank you for making my MI Shelves great again !
jonas eggen MSGA ! 🙂
I dig it!
Really great and useful module. Well done!
You are brilliant, thank you for this!
