Welcome to Soundfreak
Soundfreak expands the vocabulary of the 4U format through a high-quality modular translation of the VCS3, officially licensed by EMS.
A unique instrument
Our modules are precise renditions of the most iconic VCS3 sections: oscillators, filter, and envelope shaper.
Discover the modules
While respecting the original design and sound, we also want to make the VCS3 seamlessly fit the 4U format and its workflow. For this reason, we equipped our modules with extra features and adaptations, especially in terms of connectivity, modulation, and interface.
Every translation is a trade-off: you always lose something while moving from one language to another. Still, you also gain something else that wasn’t in the original language yet helps convey the message.
The point of our modules is thus preserving the original message of the VCS3 in the new language of 4U modular systems.
Triple VCO
The Triple Oscillator consists of three independent oscillators. They are identical in controls but different in range and waveforms.

Dual Filter Oscillator
The Dual Filter/Oscillator consists of two independent, identical filtering circuits modelled over the Filter/Oscillator section of the VCS 3, with some extra features.
Envelope Shaper
This module merges two separate sections of the VCS3: the Envelope Shaper (upper part of the front panel) and Noise Generator (lower part of the front panel).
Ring Modulator
By combining and subtracting two input signals, this module produces complex, enharmonic textures. An essential tool for crafting rich, experimental sounds.
Voltage Controlled Sequencer
A multi-step sequencer based on the classic Buchla 123 and 140 architectures.
VCF Filterbank
An array of ten parrallel bandpass filters tuned in octaves, from 31 Hz to 16Hz. While the filter’s frequency is fixed, their amplitude is controllable via volume knobs and control voltage.
