Schlappi Engineering 100 Grit // Eurorack filter, VCA, distortion & feedback noise instrument

Here we have the fantastic solo noise instrument, characterful filter (clean or distorted), VCA, feedback machine and more … the 100 Grit from Schlappi Engineering.

The 100 Grit is a 4 pole low pass filter with two inputs we can push into soft character saturation, multiple modulation points including a novel set of brass ball touch points and output VCA. There’s a clean and distorted output with additional 100x gain switch we can be performed as a momentary switch as well. Throughout the module there’s normalised feedback from different points of the circuit routing different filter pole outputs to CV the output VCA, distortion circuits points to the inputs of filter modulation all of which give a series of unique and interactive tone shaping options.

Schlappi Engineering is making the most impressive and innovative modules so far.

[eyesintheskies]

I'm sold b4 the intro had finished 😂

[cksample]

This is by far my favorite filter. It's got tons of character and can get totally crazy with lots of chaos. Picking up AM radio on it is a neat trick too.

[eyesintheskies]

Even with the sound off the data screen alone is enough to sell this one!!!

[markanquoe]

All hail the Church of Schlappi! Eric be praised! May all your waveforms be mangled in his name.

[humanbeing_]

Why in the actual fuck would someone thumbs down this video? It's Stellar content as always and the module is pure raw sickness in the best way! 🤟

So.... Damn.... SICK!!!!

[darylccc]

I've bought only 2 modules in the last 4 years, this will push something out... utterly brilliant

[gyrosphinx]

This has to be one of the coolest filters ever made!

[finngrim]

The resonance gain compensation is the best I have ever heard in a module, its the opposite of the moog resonance, which is shrill and sharp and hella fucking annoying ... just uncompensated.
The build quality is also the best I have ever seen in a module.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the bees knees when it comes to distortion.
Can't wait to try out the Angle Grinder as well after some time with this one, Schlappis modules are very versatile!
Much respect for the electrical engineering that went into this.

[BluemanGil]

Excellent, I love my 100 GRIT, thanks for the movie

[TerekkiTerekki]

Have a lot of modules this has to be by far the best built - rock solid and sounds mental

[randydarklight]

I bought my 100 Grit because of this video last week. I am soooo thrilled. This thing is amazing.

[hardgainer]

Eurorackers: "32hp challen.."
Noise artist with 100 Grit: "ONE MODULE CHALLENGE!!!"

[MartinDoudoroffLLC]

Been eyeing this one for a while. Really sounds good to my ears.

[DarioMenna]

Damn, that's massive
( Dude the beat you made at around 7:05" is sick!!! )

[RealMrBoy]

Not sure how I missed this one. This thing is crazy! I love it.

[elm_assembly]

i’ve known i’ve needed to try this module for a long time, but this video finally got me across the line. thanks!

[nkozi]

Damn, that's a lot more versatile than I gave it credit for!

[randydarklight]

I love this video. Best Tutorial ever for a 100 Grit.

[reheller]

Revisiting your top notch video of the “utter filth” module … After seeing the 100 GRIT again at Superbooth I finally got one. One of the most fun modules ever right from the start. With some drum/perc sounds patched in and one of the Versios (currently as Electus) as back-end I could play with this for hours on end. Just amazing!
