INSTRUO Larachd

The Instruo Larachd at a glance

Larachd by Instro is a specialist in integrating external audio signals and foot switches into a Eurorack modular system. The top section converts a Stereo line signal into two mono signals (L/R) with Eurorack level and allows manual volume adjustment. Also integrated is a built-in condenser microphone, which can be used to trigger various functions or to send the voice to a sampler or effect module. Via a toggle switch and a separate signal input, the audio signal can be refreshed and optimized a bit with an enhancer. The envelope follower generates a control voltage from the volume curve of the incoming signal, which can be defined in more detail with the two controls Attack and Release. In addition, the output threshold for Gate can be set using Threshold. The control voltage of the envelope follower is output on two sockets at the same time with positive and negative voltage curves. Sometimes it is helpful to be able to control functions remotely. Be it to start the recording of a sampler module or trigger a reset command or start a sequencer. For this purpose, Larachd offers a section that converts footswitch commands into Gates and triggers. For this purpose, a dual footswitch is included with the module, along with a connection cable. As an alternative to the footswitch, the gate button can also be used, but this only affects one of the three connections.
