The Angle Grinder is a seriously unique module – it’s not just an oscillator. It's a sound design playground for experienced modular users wanting to generate complex, evolving textures and manipulate phase relationships. Perfect for experimental soundscapes and generative music, but not for beginners.
Product Description
- Schlappi Engineering Angle Grinder Black
- 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
- Colour: Black
PROS
- • Unique SPIN outputs offer exceptional phase manipulation possibilities.
- • GRIND section provides complex, evolving modulation textures.
- • Versatile filter modes expand beyond standard oscillator functionality.
- • Solid build quality; feels robust and well-engineered for Eurorack use.
CONS
- • Steep learning curve; complex routing requires significant experimentation.
- • Power draw is relatively high, demanding a strong PSU.
- • Limited waveform options beyond sine and derived shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's more than just a wavefolder; it's a dynamic comparator that generates square waves based on phase differences, creating far more complex and evolving modulation possibilities.
Yes, each of the four outputs (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) provides a phase-shifted sine wave, effectively functioning as four independent oscillators.
While it *can* be used for basic oscillator duties, its true strength lies in its complex modulation and phase manipulation capabilities – it's designed for experimental sound design.
