Variatic Erumption is a dual-burst generator. When triggered, it produces a
controllable sequence of gates synchronized to a LFO. A 1v/8va LFO is
included. Any external LFO/clock may optionally be used. Bursts can be
terminated early with the choke. Burst length can be controlled as well as the
pattern used for the burst.

  • Page 1 2x5 Eurorack +12 mA 50 -12 mA Variatic Erumption is a dual-burst generator. When triggered, it produces a controllable sequence of gates synchronized to a LFO. A 1v/8va LFO is included. Any external LFO/clock may optionally be used. Bursts can be terminated early with the choke.
  • Page 2 Noise Engineering Variatic Erumption Dual-Burst Generator with built-in LFO Patch Tutorial Put INT/EXT switch into the INT position. Put FST/SLW switch into the SLW position. Set PAT knob fully CCW. Set le CNT fully CW. Connect the le OUT and END to two gateble modules such as an envelope or Basimilus Iteritas.
  • Page 3 Noise Engineering Variatic Erumption Dual-Burst Generator with built-in LFO Interface - LFO Int/Ext is switch selects the burst clock source between the internal LFO or an external clock. In - Jack 0-8v In internal LFO mode this jack is a 1v/8va CV for the internal LFO and has 8 octaves of range.
  • Page 4 Noise Engineering Variatic Erumption Dual-Burst Generator with built-in LFO Interface - Burst Hit - Jack is gate input will start the burst on a rising edge. If using internal clock mode, it will also reset the phase of the internal LFO to match the HIT phase.
  • Page 5 Dual-Burst Generator with built-in LFO Patterns Variatic Erumption’s patterns are based off of the bit-reversed concatenation of two 16-bit prime numbers. Prime numbers are always odd so in binary the lowest bit is always set. Reversing these will always generate a pattern who’s rst beat is set.

    Dual-Burst Generator with built-in LFO Design Notes Variatic Erumption started in Cyrus Makarechian’s lo when Aaron Funk asked me why there was no burst generator in Eurorack. I responded: “What is a burst generator?”. Cyrus sent me some links to existing products and a few days later I had a rudimentary prototype designed and ordered.
