The Angle Grinder is a seriously unusual oscillator – it's less a straightforward sine source and more a sound-design playground. The GRIND section’s signal comparison creates these really interesting, almost percussive textures. This is perfect for experimental sound designers and those wanting to push the boundaries of modular synthesis beyond the basics.

Product Description

  • Schlappi Engineering Angle Grinder
  • Eurorack Module
  • Quadrature sine oscillator with filter and waveshaper
  • SPIN section: Quadrature sine wave oscillator with 4 outputs (0°
  • 90°
  • 180°
  • 270°) and tracking over 4 octaves
  • GRIND section: Compares the SPIN outputs with an input signal and derives square wave signals which are fed into a VCA and modulated by the 4 GRIND CV inputs and GRIND fader
  • Depending on the setting
  • the module functions as an oscillator or state variable filter
  • Controls for coarse and fine tuning
  • attenuation
  • GRIND/SPIN ratio
  • FM input with attenuator (linear or exponential)
  • GRIND input with attenuator
  • 4 SPIN outputs provide phase-shifted sinusoidal signals or in filter mode low-pass
  • band-pass
  • high-pass and notch characteristics
  • Current consumption: 81 mA (+12 V) / 78 mA (-12 V)
  • Width: 18 TE
  • Depth: 25 mm
PROS
  • • Unique SPIN outputs offer complex phase relationships for intricate modulation.
  • • GRIND section provides unexpectedly rich, rhythmic textures through signal comparison.
  • • Versatile filter modes expand beyond typical sine wave functionality.
  • • Solid build quality with robust knobs and a sturdy Eurorack panel.
CONS
  • • The complex routing can be intimidating for beginners; steep learning curve.
  • • Power draw is relatively high, requiring a robust power supply.
  • • Limited waveform options beyond sine and derived shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s different; GRIND isn't just multiplication, but a comparison that creates more complex waveforms and modulation possibilities, often with a less harsh character.
While Schlappi modules are generally well-regarded, extreme FM settings might reveal minor tracking drift – best to test within your intended range.
Yes, but they're all derived from the same core oscillator, so you won't get true independent pitches, more like phase-shifted variations.
