Description
Soilturner is a complex modulator. It's for generating interesting and useful modulation signals quickly and easily.
Built around two cycling shift registers with irregular step timing, it can perform several simultaneous functions, including LFO/pattern generation and eight-stage envelope/function generation.
It can be mundane and repetitive or bizarre and nonrepeating.
Features at a glance:
- Three channels of modulation, each with its own behaviour
- Depending on the channel, patterns can be stepped, linearly slewed, logarithmically slewed, or jagged with modulo divisions
- Maximum pattern length of 200 seconds
- Optional end-of-cycle randomisation for never-repeating patterns
- Direct UI, no menus
- Controls visible to mapping
