// SIGNAL PATH & MODULES

Engineered For Surgical Sound Design

Every module on the faceplate is built to turn static waveforms into aggressive, talking, breathing vocal textures—with zero menu diving.

MODULE 01 OSC 1 + OSC 2

Dual Multi-Voice Oscillators

Stack rich Saw and Pulse/PWM oscillators with independent voice unison, detune, stereo spread, and harmonic blend controls to feed dense signal into the vocal filters.

MODULE 02 A · E · I · O · U

Dedicated Formant Engine

Precision parallel vocal resonant peaks modeled after human and synthetic vocal tracts. Sculpt Glide, Formant Spread, Pitch Shift, Resonance, and dedicated Squelch bite.

MODULE 03 16-STEP MATRIX

MSEG Vowel & Note Sequencer

Program talking rhythmic sequences across 16 steps. Switch seamlessly between Notes, Vowels, and Custom Shapes with swing, retrigger, and instant randomization.

MODULE 04 12 / 24dB + DRIVE

Pre/Post Distortion & Filter

Route multi-mode waveshaping distortion before or after the formant stage to create screaming neuro-basses, crisp cybernetic growls, and razor-sharp harmonics.

MODULE 05 4 LFO + 3 ENV + ARP

Deep Modulation & Arpeggiator

Animate formant shifts and filter cutoffs using 4 assignable LFOs, 3 multi-stage envelopes, portamento glide, and a built-in multi-octave arpeggiator.

MODULE 06 4 STEREO FX

Dual Master FX Racks

Finish your patch inside the plugin with lush 4-stage Chorus, stereo Phaser, tempo-synced Delay, and wide algorithmic Reverb—complete with master limiting.
