Module Reference
Fifteen modules. Every module has CV + attenuverter on every knob and V/OCT pass-through.
Two-voice detuned oscillator core. PITCH, DETUNE (0–100¢), TIMBRE (sine to harmonic stack). Polyphonic.
→ DroneCore for full documentation
8-voice amplified string wall. MASS, TENSION, SHIMMER, JAWARI (sitar buzz), WEIGHT, DRIFT. CHOKE gate + RTN feedback input. Up to 128 simultaneous oscillators.
→ DroneClone for full documentation
16-voice harmonic mass oscillator. Four modes: UNIS, HARM (odd-harmonic sections), JUST (Ptolemaic JI ratios), MICRO (spectral microtonality). 1/√N amplitude normalised.
→ String-Mass-Core for full documentation
Harmonic series pitch CV generator. PITCH root, PARTIAL (starting harmonic), COUNT (output channels). JUST / EQUAL / MICRO tuning modes. Polyphonic V/OCT output.
→ Harmonic-Pressure for full documentation
Slow random modulation source. RATE (0.01–10 Hz), WANDER (step size), SLEW (smoothing). Three simultaneous outputs: SMOOTH (slewed), STEP (raw), GATE (pulse on step).
→ Drift for full documentation
Master clock — the series previously had none. RATE (20–300 BPM, exponential), SWING (delays odd pulses by up to half a period), BROWNOUT (mains-sag metaphor: dips under load and recovers, only ever slowing). CLK, /2, /4, /8 and RESET outputs, plus EXT CLK input for slaving. At BROWNOUT 0 the timing is bit-identical to a clean clock.
→ Street-Grid-Clock for full documentation
16-step no-wave percussion. 4×4 toggle grid, white noise synthesis. HIT level, DECAY time (8–500ms), METAL (body filter and grit), CRACK (4ms transient burst).
→ Pulse for full documentation
Modal string-resonance sequencer. Three independent sequencing brains — PITCH (raga-quantised), RES (timbral, own clock division), RIFF (articulation) — driving a Karplus-Strong string through a jawari nonlinear bridge, with an 8-voice sympathetic bank and a chikari drone. JHALA breakdown state machine. Six ragas. Separate MAIN, DRONE and SYMP outputs.
→ Sitar-Grid for full documentation
Bio-acoustic insect sample engine over the InsectSet32 bank (CC-BY 4.0). Specimen mode plays one pitched voice per trigger; Swarm mode fires up to 8, scattered in time and detuned across a fixed stereo spread. Note the 2–5 second bank load on first patch load.
→ Swarm-Core for full documentation
2×2 cross-send feedback routing matrix. A→B send, B→A return, A→C / C→A internal C-bus (one-sample delayed). Polyphonic.
→ Send for full documentation
4-channel performance mixer. Per-channel GAIN + TONE, fixed auto-pan spread, MUTE buttons. MAIN master with soft saturation. Stereo L/R out.
→ Choke for full documentation
Section-based performance conductor. DENSITY sweeps 4 channels in progressively. PRESSURE saturates. WIDTH spreads stereo. FEEDBACK loop. COLLAPSE gate with shaped RECOVERY.
→ Wall-Conductor for full documentation
16-channel no-wave mixer. Per-channel GAIN + MUTE. DENSITY sweep, PRESSURE saturation, WIDTH stereo, FEEDBACK loop, COLLAPSE gate. Five outputs: OUT L/R, AUX L/R, SUM.
→ Mass-Driver for full documentation
Stereo drive/saturation. Three harmonic modes: ODD (tanh), EVEN (tape-like), FULL (hard clip). COLLAPSE gate instantly maxes drive with shaped RECOVERY. Sidechain input.
→ Collapse-Saturator for full documentation
Controlled feedback send/return. AMOUNT, TONE LP filter (100Hz–20kHz), DECAY per-pass attenuation. KILL button/gate zeros path instantly. DC blocker + ±10V safety limiter.
→ Feedback-Governor for full documentation
