Description
Launched in 2019 and designed in collaboration with Ben “DivKid” Wilson, the Instruō øchd has set a standard for compact and versatile modulation sources which can now be seen across thousands of eurorack systems.
The øchd’s 8 analogue outputs can now be be tripled with a further 16 unique control voltage sources by pairing it with the øchd expander ([ø] 4^2).
All outputs are derived from combinations of the 8 analogue triangle LFO cores to produce an extravagant range of variable voltages, triggers and 4x 4-Bit DAC based stepped random voltage sources which are best described as flavours of “slow noise”.
Enhance your existing modulation capabilities immediately with this 4HP cluster of control voltage capabilities.
Note: øchd required, all cables included with expander
Features
• 4 full wave rectifiers
• 2 pairs of analogue diode logic Max/Min signal generators
• 4 trigger sources which can combine in a cascaded fashion through normal connections
• 4 4-Bit DAC outputs generating variations of slow noise
Specifications
4HP wide, 32mm deep, 5mA +12V and 5mA -12V power consumption.

The ochd expander was launched as part of ØCHD-OBER-FEST an in-person event at Signal Sounds in Glasgow, Scotland held by DivKid & Instruo.
ØCHD-OBER-FEST was a celebration of all things ochd! With presentations of the new expander, Q&A, lovely Glaswegian living beers from Simple Things Fermentations (+ soft drink options) and a bumper stack of pretzels for a proper knees up!
