The unit is a pocket-sized stereo effects processor built around nine FX modes: delay, flanger, freezer, panner, crusher, slicer, pitcher, replayer and shifter. The modes are grouped into delay, amplitude and pitch-shifting families. Instead of recalling presets, the user shapes the sound with time, feedback and amount controls, a lowpass/highpass filter in the feedback path and a stereo detune on every mode.
Modulation is central. Parameters can be driven by a triangle/pulse LFO, a tempo-synced pattern generator with gate and CV outputs, or a patchable envelope follower for ducking-style effects. A tempo generator with tap tempo, a clock divider, a trigger input and an FX mode CV input allow it to sync with other gear and change modes under CV control.
It works with 3.5 mm patch cables for audio, CV and sync, and over USB-C for MIDI, firmware updates and power. From firmware 1.3 it sends and receives USB MIDI. From 1.6, rhythm patterns and sequencer step counts can be edited in a web-based app. Firmware and schematics are open-source.
