a 6-in, 4-out mixer built for cv (audio is fine too). static mixes, cv-mapped moving mixes, or cv generation: automate the input and output offsets and it becomes four macro cvs for the rest of the patch. outputs can be quantized.

expert sleepers’ tape delay plug-in, stereo, up to ~44 s, with four read heads for stereo, ping-pong or multi-tap. time by hand, tap or clock; tape speed by cv at 1 v/oct, stop and reverse; an effects loop sits inside the delay.

eight-voice, three-part multitimbral wav instrument from the card. up to three cv/gate pairs (gate voltage = velocity, 5 v max) or midi / i2c. velocity layers, round robins, chords + arps, eq, delay, scala / mts tuning.

six drum voices from the card, each with its own trigger and sample folder: a far more capable i-8. velocity-sensitive triggers, velocity layers and round robins per sample. also played by midi / i2c; an es-5 adds more outputs.

records up to six channels of audio or cv to !RECORD/REC00001.WAV… at 48 / 96 khz, 16 / 24-bit, and plays back the last take. an auto-sampler captures multisampled instruments by itself.

six dc-coupled switches, sequential or voltage-controlled. each picks one of six inputs and sends it to one of four outputs; shared outputs sum. crossfades run from click-free to long blends.

four loopers run like a two-button stomp box: record / overdub / clear and play / pause / mute act on the target loop. 8 / 16 / 32-bit, mono or stereo (~21 s each at 16-bit mono). fades, clock sync, reverse, half speed.

la monte young drones: a fundamental plus four tones tuned by prime ratios, wavetable voices (or a pure sine / triangle / square root), a gate per tone and a reverb. made to be played by hand.

eight parallel stereo filters in resonator, bandpass or multiband mode. levels by hand, cv, gate envelopes or an octature lfo; pitch by hand, cv or midi, so the resonators play chords.

a full eight-voice wavetable synth: two envelopes, a filter and an lfo per voice, delay and chorus. cv/gate (velocity gates) or midi, chords + arps, stereo, mono or one output per voice, scala / mts.

grains from live input or the card: record a ~31 s buffer or stream it. notes (cv/gate, midi, i2c) spawn grain clouds; three drone voices turn it into an effect. size, pitch, pan and spawn can all be randomised.

stereo eq, pitch, delay and reverb at once, in series or parallel (feedback is possible), plus a variable sample rate under cv for lo-fi and pitch tricks.

an eight-voice plucked / struck synth: a short burst (built-in, wav from the card or live input) rings a resonator. strum mode with aftertouch, delay + chorus, chords and arps, scala / mts.

four dahdsr envelopes with optional dc-coupled vcas, gated, one-shot or looping, synced to clock or midi. shapes are separate from generators, so four envelopes can share one shape.

real-time convolution with an impulse from the card or recorded live: realistic rooms, or any two sounds smeared together. mono, mono-to-stereo or stereo trade against impulse length. record your own impulses ([ l ] push or the trigger), save them to impulses/, and live update re-convolves as you edit.

one pitch cv in, four harmonised pitch cvs out, in shape or satb voice-leading mode with root by cv or midi. also a poly voice distributor and arpeggiator; scala / mts and built-in vco calibration. satb = soprano / alto / tenor / bass, with the cantus firmus choosing which voice follows the input; adds a melodic minor scale and can send the chord out as midi.

a tuner for up to four signals at once, in 12-tet or any scala / mts scale. double-click [ v ] for the tuning display, which adapts to one, two or four inputs; auto visuals (algorithm menu) brings it up when idle.

follows the pitch and envelope of incoming audio and turns them into cvs, a harmonised chord of cvs, or pitch-shifted copies of the input. shape, satb or midi harmony; scala / mts. calibration: patch each vco into input 5 and run it from the algorithm menu.

four independent braids (mutable instruments) with their own outputs, identical at 96 khz. any input can drive any instance; over midi / i2c they play as a four-voice poly synth. the algorithm menu holds the per-instance settings (inputs, flatten, drift, signature, midi option, shared settings); no meta mode needed, just map a cv to the model.

mutable instruments rings with a stereo mix of the odd, even and dry signals. played by cv/gate, midi or i2c; set an input parameter to 0 and it strums or excites itself, like an unpatched jack on the original. midi / i2c modes: pitch, strum, or both. out 1/2 stereo mix · 3 resonator mix · 4 mono.

four independent plaits (v1.2 code) with free input assignment. midi / i2c gives round-robin polyphony; with no trigger input set, the envelope is skipped and it drones, as on the original. fm banks: dx7 sysex in FMSYX/ loads into the six-operator model.

plays .mid files from the card to the midi breakout and to cv / gates, on its own clock, analogue clock or midi clock. four pitched converters + a drum converter, more gates with an es-5; _ONESHOT files don’t loop. per-track mute, file restart modes, reset input as reset or run / stop, clock read as 24 ppqn or note values.

eight-voice, four-part multitimbral six-operator fm (the plaits engine). loads dx7 voice banks from the card and works with dx7 editor / librarian apps. each timbre has its own bank, voice, output, gain / pan, brightness and envelope scale; timbres follow the gate inputs or adjacent midi channels. voice banks live in FMSYX/ on the card.

captures the spectrum of a moment (fft) and holds it forever, then replays it at any speed or pitch. four freeze voices mix to stereo with delay and reverb; etherization strips it to pure tones. double-click [ l ] to grab a new moment and crossfade to it.

four quantizers, independent or sharing a scale: nearest, warped or mapped modes, transpose and shift, key + scale masks, scala / mts, gate-sampled or free, and vco calibration. each cv goes: sample › transpose in › lookup scale › shift › output scale › transpose out › calibration. quantized notes can go out as midi; key + scale masks drop notes from the keyboard map.

six inputs placed around a four-speaker field by x / y or angle / radius, with spinners that circle sources round the listener. cv, midi or i2c positioning; with a cvm-8 all six sources can move at once.
