machin

machin is a random, probability-based, step-sequenced multi-fx device created in partnership with sink

– the step sequencer defines the probability that any single random effect will be triggered on that step
– the weighting defines the probability for each effect that it will be the one that is triggered

features

• 6 effects (gate, crusher, filter, flanger, delay, reverb)
• 2-32 step probability sequencer over a cycle of 2-32 beats
• seeded randomisation with loop repeat over cycle of 2-100 beats
• swing control for step sequencer
• any effects can be turned off to save CPU
• each effect has an attack/decay on triggering and pulse length to determine duration effect is on
• master wet/dry mix control
• all controls have MIDI learn

sfilter

sfilter creates a stepped filtered sequence, to create gating, sweeps or rhythmic modulation of filter cut-off. It uses a variable state filter, varying between 2 adjustable cut-off values according to a tempo-sync’d step sequencer. An LFO can also modulate the filter for extra movement

features

• tempo-sync step sequencer, with 2 to 32 steps over a sequence length of 2 to 32 beats
• resonant variable filter, LP, HP, BP and notch
• filter cut-off varies between upper and lower cut-off values, in either direction
• tempo sync LFO, with 6 waveforms and settings from 1/16 beat to 96 beats
• random swing for step sequencer
• wet/dry mix control
• midi CC and midi learn

pfilter

pfilter creates a steppy, gated effect, but using filter cut-off instead of volume to give a wider range of possibilities. It uses a variable state filter, triggered between 2 adjustable cut-off values by a tempo-sync’d probability-based step sequencer. An LFO can modulate the filter when triggered and trigger pulse length, attack and release can shape the sound

features

• tempo-sync step sequencer, with 2 to 32 steps over a sequence length of 2 to 32 beats
• can be programmed or random, by setting the probability of each step from 0-100%
• seeded randomisation for repeatable loops up to 100 beats long
• resonant variable filter, LP, HP, BP and notch
• filter triggered between upper and lower cut-off values, in either direction
• tempo sync LFO, with 6 waveforms and settings from 1/16 beat to 96 beats
• adjustable pulse length, attack and decay for shaping the modulation
• random swing for step sequencer
• wet/dry mix control
• midi CC and midi learn

gator

gator creates a random gating effect, triggering volume between 2 adjustable values by a tempo-sync’d probability-based step sequencer. An LFO can modulate the volume when triggered and trigger pulse length, attack and release can shape the sound

features

• tempo-sync step sequencer, with 2 to 32 steps over a sequence length of 2 to 32 beats
• can be programmed or random, by setting the probability of each step from 0-100%
• seeded randomisation for repeatable loops up to 100 beats long
• volume triggered between upper and lower cut-off values, in either direction
• tempo sync LFO, with 6 waveforms and settings from 1/16 beat to 96 beats
• adjustable pulse length, attack and decay for shaping the modulation
• random swing for step sequencer
• wet/dry mix control
• midi CC and midi learn
