Parameters 26
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ambience Decay | knob | — | Controls how long the reverb tail takes to fade out.643 |
| Ambience Spacetime | knob | — | Macro control for reverb size, filtering, and direction. At 50%: smallest size and brightest tone. At 0% or 100%: biggest size and darkest tone. Below 50%: input signal is reversed. SHIFT + SPACETIME changes auto-pan amount and frequency division from 0% (no auto-pan) to 100% (full auto-pan at 8x base frequency) with 16 different ratios.643 |
| Detune/Offset | knob | — | Controls supersaw detuning (in supersaw mode) or wavetable selection from 32 wavetables (in wavetable mode). SHIFT + DETUNE alters interval between oscillators: 0% = one octave down, 100% = one octave up, default 50% = unison.643 |
| Dry/Wet Faders | fader | — | Manual controls for the dry/wet ratio of the four FX processors (constant power response). When CV jacks are patched, become attenuators of the incoming CV. At lowest position, signal passes through unaffected.643 |
| Echo Density | knob | 10ms – 4000ms | Delay time control for a 2-tap ping-pong delay, from 10ms to 4 seconds. When synced, becomes a clock divider. SHIFT + DENSITY applies a DJ-style filter to the echo: noon = no filter, CW = HPF, CCW = LPF.643 |
| Echo Repeats | knob | 0% – 100% | Feedback control for the echo effect, from one repeat at 0% to infinite at 100%.643 |
| Filter Cutoff | knob | 10Hz – 22000Hz | Controls filter frequency cutoff (approximately 10Hz to 22kHz) in multimode filter mode, or notch position in comb filter mode. SHIFT + CUTOFF selects filter type (LP, BP, HP, comb).643 |
| Filter Resonance | knob | — | Controls filter resonance. Past 75%, activates a chaotic noise generator whose output is combined with the input and filtered. SHIFT + RESO sets the filter position in the effects chain (positions I–IV).643 |
| Input Gain Switch | switch | — | Three-position switch selecting input gain: top position for high-impedance sources (microphones), middle for line-level, bottom for Eurorack module outputs.643 |
| Looper Length | knob | 0% – 100% | Changes the size of the loop with an exponential curve, from ~8 ms at 0% up to the full buffer length at 100%. SHIFT + LENGTH sets the SOS DJ-style filter response.643 |
| Looper Start | knob | — | Sets the starting point of the loop. When SHIFT is held and START is turned, sets the SOS (Sound on Sound) level from 0% (old material constantly replaced) to 100% (never fades away).643 |
| Looper Varispeed | knob | 0% – 100% | Controls looper direction and playback speed. At 0% plays at 2x reverse, at 50% (12:00) the looper is stalled. At 100% plays at 2x forward. Virtual detents at -1x, 0, and 1x.643 Zones

| Mod/CV Amount Button | button | — | Blinks RED for modulation mapping mode; blinks GREEN for CV mapping mode. Hold 2 seconds to save current state to flash.643 |
| Modulation Level | knob | — | Master control for the intensity of all modulation. Prevails over all modulation mappings.643 |
| Modulation Speed | knob | — | Controls base frequency of modulation from 1/16x to 16x with common time divisions. Unsynced base is ~0.2Hz (range ~0.01Hz to ~3Hz). SHIFT + SPEED selects modulation type (sine LFO, ramp, sawtooth, square, S&H, chaos, envelope follower). For envelope follower, controls slope of envelope curve.643 |
| Oscillator Mode Switch | switch | — | Selects between supersaw oscillator (up) and wavetable oscillator (down). These two oscillators are mutually exclusive.643 |
| Pitch | knob | -6semitone – 6semitone | Controls pitch for all oscillators. Centered on C, spans 6 semitones on either side. SHIFT + PITCH selects the current octave. Full pitch range of oscillators is 8 octaves (C0 to C7).643 |
| Pre/Post Switch | switch | — | Selects whether the looper records the stereo input (PRE) or the module's output (POST). Also determines what the envelope follower and peak meter monitor.643 |
| Randomization Amount | switch | — | Three-position switch: top = full-range randomization, middle = ±20% variation, bottom = ±2% variation.643 |
| Randomization Target | switch | — | Four-position switch selecting which units are randomized: All units, Oscillators only, Looper only, or Effects only.643 |
| Randomize Button | button | — | Press to randomize immediately. Hold for desired duration then release for gradual morphing. SHIFT + RANDOM = undo/redo randomization. SHIFT + RECORD + RANDOM = reset all parameters to knob positions.643 |
| Record Button | button | — | Toggle: single press toggles recording on/off. Momentary: hold to record, release to stop. SHIFT + RECORD clears the buffer.643 |
| Resonator Feedback | knob | — | Generates sustained resonance. At 100% causes the resonator to self-oscillate.643 |
| Resonator Tune | knob | — | Changes the base frequency of three comb filter instances using three different ratios. SHIFT + TUNE makes resonance more dissonant (default 0%).643 |
| Shift Button | button | — | Accesses secondary parameters (white background labels). Momentary: hold while changing a parameter. Toggle: single press turns on/off. SHIFT state must be saved to persist after power cycle.643 |
| Volume Faders | fader | — | Manual controls for the four audio source volumes (exponential response). When CV jacks are patched, become attenuators of the incoming CV.643 |
