Listen

Every sound on this page is rendered by the same DSP core the patch.Init firmware and the VCV plugin run, through the same panel mapping, so each one is knob positions and CVs you can dial in yourself. They are dry (no reverb, no effects), mono, normalised to −1 dBFS, and rebuilt from the current code every time the docs are published. Above each player, the spectrogram shows time left to right and frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, so the low end isn't squeezed into a sliver; the WAV link downloads the 48 kHz original.

The three macros

Each macro on its own, swept from nothing to full.

FLESH C2. FM sidebands arrive, then the fold opens from glassy to snarling, then it tips asymmetric. How to patch it.

Spectrogram of FLESH: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

MALICE A1. Sine to saw through the lower half, still harmonic; then over the edge into chaos, and collapse.

Spectrogram of MALICE: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

LEGION C2 with a little FLESH. The sub first, then detuned voices fade in and beat, then drift pulls them apart.

Spectrogram of LEGION: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

Six evil patches

The patches from the README and Six evil patches, each ten seconds.

1 · Reactor hum A low drone whose feedback breathes in and out. How to patch it.

Spectrogram of 1 · Reactor hum: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

2 · Lorenz growl A chaotic modulator in audio range, like an engine that won't idle. How to patch it.

Spectrogram of 2 · Lorenz growl: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

3 · Chaos bells Inharmonic struck metal that gets more unhinged as it goes. How to patch it.

Spectrogram of 3 · Chaos bells: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

4 · Feedback scream The pitch dives while feedback tears into noise. How to patch it.

Spectrogram of 4 · Feedback scream: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

5 · Possession Everything rising, then the modulator turns chaotic. How to patch it.

Spectrogram of 5 · Possession: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

6 · Legion One voice becomes a swarm while the fold opens. How to patch it.

Spectrogram of 6 · Legion: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

In a rack

Longer pieces that use the module the way a rack would: an LFO or an envelope into a macro's CV, a sequencer into V/OCT, and for the struck sounds a VCA after the output. The knob positions and modulation are in test/patches.hpp.

Altar drone E1, ring routing, LEGION near full, a 0.1 Hz LFO into FLESH's CV.

Spectrogram of Altar drone: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

Hex sequence 16ths at 128 BPM in E phrygian. Each step's envelope hits FLESH and a VCA while MALICE creeps up.

Spectrogram of Hex sequence: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

Lorenz choir A free modulator on Lorenz just below the note, LEGION full, FLESH breathing slowly.

Spectrogram of Lorenz choir: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

Bells of ruin A 1:7 ratio struck every 1.5 s through a VCA, MALICE climbing through the edge into chaos.

Spectrogram of Bells of ruin: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.

Descent Four and a half octaves down while FLESH, LEGION and MALICE all rise into collapse.

Spectrogram of Descent: time runs left to right, frequency from 30 Hz to 16 kHz on a log scale, bottom to top.
