4ms Pingable Envelope Generator and Spectral Multiband Resonator

4ms Pingable Envelope Generator (PEG)

The 4ms Pingable Envelope Generator (PEG) is a versatile dual envelope generator priced at $345.00. It offers unique “pingable” functionality where envelope lengths are set by incoming clocks or “pings”.

Key Features:

• Dual channel design with independent controls
• Envelope time set by “pings” or tap tempo
• Ping division/multiplication from /8 to x8
• Curve and Skew controls with CV inputs
• Various triggering and cycling options (AD, AR, quantization, cycle)
• Scale knob for envelope output attenuation and inversion
• Bi-polar mode for centered envelope output (-5V to +5V)
• End-of-Rise (EOR) and End-of-Fall (EOF) gate outputs

Applications:

The PEG is ideal for creating complex, rhythmically-synced modulations in modular synthesizer setups. It’s particularly useful for evolving patches, rhythmic effects, and synchronized envelope generation.

4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator (SMR)

The 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator (SMR) is an innovative resonant filter priced at $475.00. It offers a wide range of sound processing capabilities, from classic filter bank operations to complex spectral manipulations.

Key Features:

• Six-band resonant filter with variable Q (resonance)
• Frequency bands treated as notes in a scale
• Rotate and Spread controls for dynamic frequency shifting
• Morph function for automatic cross-fading between frequencies
• Scale quantization for harmonic filtering and sound generation
• Two 1V/octave frequency inputs for melodic control
• Six CV-controllable sliders for individual band levels
• Six envelope follower outputs
• Stereo input and output
• Six storage banks for preset saving and recall

Applications:

The SMR excels in various sound design scenarios, including:

• Complex filtering and equalization
• Spectral remixing and vocoding
• Harmonic sound generation and processing
• Creating evolving textures and ambient soundscapes
• Rhythmic and melodic sound manipulation

Conclusion: Innovative Sound Shaping Tools

Both the 4ms Pingable Envelope Generator and Spectral Multiband Resonator represent innovative approaches to sound shaping and modulation in the Eurorack format. The PEG offers unique envelope generation capabilities synchronized to external timing, while the SMR provides a powerful platform for spectral manipulation and harmonic filtering. These modules are valuable additions to any modular synthesizer setup, offering musicians and sound designers powerful tools for creating complex, evolving sounds and textures.
