It just doesn’t follow the CF input as do the other parameters, so it’s always droning alone. Patching into the VCA input lets you control the amplitude of the BB2000’s main output.Īfter messing with the BB2000 a bit I noticed that KLONK didn’t exactly play well with the others and has a mind of its own. So there you have it, from the man/module himself.īB2000 has four oscillators-either a triangle, square, or sine wave, depending on various factors-each with its own knob for tuning, and while they don’t track 1v/o, each oscillator can go from LFO to audio rate frequencies. ![]() The real question isn’t what controls what, the real question is what does this module do? What exactly is the Bleep Bloop 2000? According to Held it is a chordal drone machine and/or erratic CV generator. ![]() While not too being distracted by Duncan’s mug, I noticed that all of the controls are labelled well-even though the words are completely nonsensical-and each correlates to an aforementioned letter in the alphabet and is clearly labelled as such, and this makes figuring out which CV input controls which parameter quite easy. There’s a combined single OUT, a VCA input, a CF input, and A, B, C, and D CV inputs. Strewn among the nicely drawn portrait of Duncan, there are knobbed controls for DARF, KLONK, OLLBZZ, PERSH, SUMSES, and a toggle to switch between SPLARF 1 and SPLARF 2. I really like the artwork by Bowen, and it’s laid out in a well-intentioned, anatomically adventurous manner. ![]() The Bleep Bloop 2000 is a very nice-looking module. Hoodies, socks, and tote bags with Duncan trapped in Eurorack module form have been around for a bit, and fictitious faceplates of a BB2000 module have shown its butt-parted hairdo on Instagram for a while, but now the Bleep Bloop 2000 is finally a real module, finally out in the wild, and you can finally.finally get your PERSH on, provided you have enough SPLARF, and provided you feel comfortable going there. The module artwork is based off of Dunkin Michael-Clarke Duncan, a medallion wearing cult-y character that Pod Mod’s Held created for the purpose of.um.well, that’s what a year of social distancing will do, I suppose. So it’s a bit of a relief to come across a module that doesn’t take itself too seriously and injects some much needed whimsy into the modular landscape.Įnter the Bleep Bloop 2000, a collaboration between After Later Audio, artist Jenny Bowen, and Tim Held of Podular Modcast. Aside from the occasionally odd, or somewhat humorously named module there’s not a whole lot that’s funny in the world of modular synthesis, a world that itself is comprised entirely of funny noises.
