-
Beads
Granular audio processor that creates textures and soundscapes by playing back layered, delayed, transposed and enveloped fragments of sound (grains) taken continuously from the incoming audio signal.
- Braids
- Clouds
-
Elements
Full-blown modal synthesis voice with three exciter generators (BOW, BLOW, STRIKE) feeding a resonator that models vibrating structures such as plates, strings, bars, tubes, and bowls.
-
Grids
Topographic drum sequencer — 3-channel trigger generator that derives rhythmic patterns from a 2D map of drum loops learned from electronic music data, with per-channel density control, CV-controllable X/Y map position, and optional Euclidean sequencer mode.
-
Marbles
Marbles is all about randomness – generation of random events, or randomization of external CV/Gate signals. The module is organized as three sections: the t section generates and processes clocks and triggers, the X section generates and processes voltages, and the DEJA VU section imposes structure, in the form of repetition, upon all the events generated by the two other sections.
-
Plaits
A macro-oscillator with 15 synthesis models spanning virtual-analog, FM, wavetable, additive, granular, modal-resonator and Karplus-Strong string-machine physical modeling, noise, and percussion. Three master controls (HARMONICS, TIMBRE, MORPH) rebind their meaning per model.
-
Rings
A resonator module that transforms an external, unpitched excitation audio signal into a full-bodied pitched sound, implementing modal synthesis, sympathetic strings, and extended Karplus-Strong string resonation.
- Ripples (original)
-
Warps
A cross-modulation meta-modulator that blends and combines two audio signals using a variety of algorithms (crossfade, wavefolding, ring modulation, XOR, vocoder, and more), with an internal digital oscillator that can replace the external carrier signal.
-
Yarns
MIDI to CV/Gate interface with up to 4 voices of polyphony or 4 independent channels, featuring a 64-step sequencer, arpeggiator, Euclidean pattern generator, and multiple tuning systems.
