I'm sick today, so no voice track. Brain was dead so I figured I'd noodle around a bit, and ended up realizing that - after spending three years focusing on developing, building, and delivering the Facehugger with no time to play anything - I had completely forgotten how much I love the Parasite Antifilter. It's my favorite module, no contest, and combining it with the Facehugger is unbeatable, in my mind. The slightest setting change can take you in entirely new directions. This one uses basically the same external inputs as the last video but, instead of hitting the Input with the Facehugger, the input is a buzzy drone from an Infernal Noise Machine and the main Facehugger is driving the Low Frequency CV input. The rest is swapping where a sine LFO goes (the second olive cable), the other Facehugger (purple cable) and the step 7 gate from the main Facehugger. This all adds up to some great drones with transient melodies and rhythms. It gets a little blah in the middle, but it picks back up again when a new drone is discovered later. I'm particularly pleased to have caught one of the Parasite Antifilter's coolest (and most frustrating) features: the charge-up effect. It begins around 11:18. These are where some new sound just builds up out of nowhere. This one was unusually persistent though. Often, they disappear if you change a setting and are very difficult to find again. It's not a filter you can just dial through quickly, you have to give each change a moment to see if it wants to build something else. It's fun that I could say that this video is just me running a buzzy sound into a filter and sweeping the filter parameters with a stepped CV sequence and some LFOs. Did I mention that I'm sick today? I babble. I shut up now. Go, listen to the thing. #parasiteantifilter #facehugger #eurorack #analog #modularsynthesizer

A small example of using the Parasite Antifilter to generate a rhythm sequence. All sounds generated by the Parasite Antifilter, using a Facehugger control module for the sequencing transients, and LFOs from two Infernal Noise Machines for the other variations. Output audio routed through Plague Bearer filter initially, with ramp from INM controlling Gain. INM VCAs and Choices joystick used as level controls. Initial Patch: (1= bottom rack, 2 = top rack) • Facehugger 1 Out to Parasite Antifilter In. • Facehugger Gate 7 Out to Parasite Antifilter High Freq CV, but I forget to use this until after altering the patch so it's mostly unused. • Facehugger 2 to Parasite Antifilter Low Q CV, but I forget to start the Facehugger, so it's inactive. • INM 1 LFO Sine out to Parasite Antifilter Low Freq CV (through INM 1 VCA 2 for level control). • INM 1 LFO Ramp out to Plague Bearer Gain CV (through INM 1 VCA 1 for level control). • INM 2 LFO Sine out to Parasite Antifilter Mid Freq CV (through Choices for level control). More demos to come. I'm still working on getting my recording setup figured out. I should also start writing scripts for these... #facehugger #parasiteantifilter #eurorack #analog #synthesizer

Using two Facehuggers and the Clock Sync expander to shift whole patterns up and down in tune. #facehugger #infernalnoisemachine #eurorack #flightofharmony #synthesizer

Finished the Facehugger analog Clock Sync Expander. Now you can synchronize the Facehugger with any external clock (or other square wave output) up to 340 Hz/beats per second. More info and demos to come soonish. #facehugger #synthesizer #eurorack #modularsynth #analog

PSA FROM THE LEAGUE'S DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH AND MANIFESTATION Crush\Wrack - the Flight of Harmony Interview, which was broadcast on 23 March 2026 on 89.1FM Radio Blue Mountains, is now available for peer review on Bandcamp. The Department of Research and Manifestation continues its vital research into Nothing through extracting vital information from Flight, of Flight of Harmony, a maker of quality noise equipments. Flight's BRUTALLY INTERROGATION by Mx Robert Frost is interspersed with an application study of Flight of Harmony’s Manifestation tools, also conducted by Mx Frost, under careful scrutiny.

Back to what I'm *supposed* to be doing: building the latest prototypes of the next Facehugger Expander, Clock Sync; and the upcoming Shroud voltage-controlled wavefolder module. #facehugger #controlmodule #shroud #wavefolder #eurorack

The shelves! Plus the process. Now to fill them up, sigh. I plan to get rid of at least half of the boxed-up crap that's in here, probably this summer. Gotta get it organized so I can tell what's what first. #fyi #flightofharmony #random #shelving #storage

I needed to cut a lot of identical pieces, so I picked up the cheapest miter/chop saw at the Despot. It's a baby, but all I need for cutting 2"x4" lumber. I built a base out of scrap pieces to support a measurement fence where I could clamp stop blocks for quick, identical cuts, then bolted the whole thing to an old utility cart I found abandoned in a parking garage long ago. The DeWalt vacuum didn't work great for dust collection, so I replaced it with my shop vac with separator setup later. #fyi #flightofharmony #tools

I ended up having to open the whole run between receptacles. Code here requires firestop in penetrations between stud bays, and the spray foam they used glued the romex in place. Anyway, wire replaced, wall reattached, seams sealed up with ram board tape because screw mudding when it's gonna be behind the shelving. You can see the drill bit barely nicked the jacket - no copper even visible because of flexing the cable - but whatever damage it did was enough to trip both the panel breaker and a series GFCI. Problem: drill bit too long, but alternate bits too short. Solution: stack some nuts on the bit. Janky, but it works. #electricalwoes

When you realize that the original electrician didn't use nail plates and you just drilled into the wiring. Now I have to open up the wall in a couple places to pull out the damaged romex and pull in a piece of MC from my stash. Argh. #fyi #ffs #electricalbs

So, what the hell have I been doing lately? The stars came into rare alignment: - I finished development in the Facehugger control module and it's now a real product. - Ads are up, units in stock here and at dealers. - It is an unusually slow period at job thing and I am currently unemployed. So what does this mean? I finally have some time to do some work on setting up the workshop so I can get to building some modular synth racks thay I've been wanting to do a limited run of! We had to move in a hurry two years ago, and the shop has been used as a storage space this whole time, as if a deranged electrician hoarder lived there or something. Anyway, I figured I'd do some posts about the event because why the hell not? This round is just building a wall of shelves to get everything off of the floor and allow room to get set up. 1,2, & 3: clear out space to move, build, and assemble. This took a week. I wad able to get enough room cleared out. 4: get materials & needed tools. 5: the work table for buiilding the shelf bases. 6: materials & tools on table 7: then it snowed... More to come soon! #fyi #flightofharmony

Currently available as a complete package for 16% off! Deal available in the US from flightofharmony.com and in the EU/UK from @efn_modular The Facehugger control system. Along with being able to connect multiple Facehuggers in series and parallel, the Facehugger control module has a lot of features that couldn't fit on the front panel, so it has several rear headers for expander modules as well as inter-module connections. Shown here the is a Facehugger with the currently available set of expanders - Aux, Jacks, Switches, and Triggers - which perform the basic tasks of making the rear header functions available at the front panel for patching, as well as adding some sequencing capabilities. More expanders are in development that will add more versatile control features: Clock Sync - allows you to use an external clock to control your Facehugger and keep it in synch with an external sequencer or other device with a clock output. Clock Gen - creates two distinct clock signals to allow you to use the Facehugger to control external sequencers and other devices that have a clock input.
