Avalanche module
Avalanche
Granular Delay ⚠ Alpha
GitHub

This module is currently in alpha. Expect bugs and breaking changes — feedback and bug reports are welcome via GitHub.

Captures incoming audio into a buffer and plays it back as a cloud of overlapping grains. Each grain has its own envelope, enabling textures that range from subtle thickening to full granular cloudscapes. Pitch shifting, freezing, and reverse playback are all available per grain.

BitBoy module
BitBoy
Oscillator
GitHub

A classic 8-bit style oscillator delivering crunchy digital tones with authentic bit-crushing and NES-style noise generation. Four waveforms cover the full range of lo-fi character from punchy square basses to gritty digital noise.

MotherFuzzer module
MotherFuzzer
Distortion
GitHub

A rich, musical fuzz and distortion effect with intuitive Drive, Tone, and Volume controls. Soft clipping drive from 1× to 100× paired with a low-pass tone control makes it equally at home on synth basses, leads, or drums. CV inputs on all three parameters open it up for dynamic modulation.

SubGate8 module
SubGate8
Gate Sequencer
GitHub

An 8-step gate sequencer with 4 subdivisions per step, giving 32 individually togglable triggers. Swing and gate length controls add groove and expressiveness. Compact and performance-friendly, it syncs to external clocks and fires an end-of-cycle pulse for chaining.

Barrage module
Barrage
Burst Sequencer
GitHub

A 16-step sequencer where each step is a self-contained burst generator. Instead of a single gate per clock, each step fires a burst of evenly-spaced gates with independent control over count, length, probability, and speed relative to the clock.

16 Steps Per-Step Burst Count 1–16 Probability Speed 0.25×–4× Per-Step Gate Outputs EOC per Step Step CV Out Forward / Reverse
Tenuto module
Tenuto
Utility
GitHub

A 4-channel variable gate length module. Takes gate or trigger inputs and re-emits each as a gate of a fixed, independently-set length — from 1ms to 2 seconds. Each channel retriggers cleanly on every rising edge.

4 Channels 1ms – 2s Range Retrigger Shared Length CV Trigger to Gate Gate Shortening 8HP
