Noise Engineering Sinclastic Empulatrix (4HP)

Full Description

Clamping Design Adds Subtle Distortion

This unique clamping design adds slight distortion to your envelope. As the clamp opens or closes, the signal clips along the rails producing harmonic artifacts. So from a simple sound you can slowly evolve it and adjust the attack and release times for some interesting results.

Gate and Trigger Modes

You can switch modes using the GATE/TRIG switch. Gate mode follows envelopes and gates, and will sustain until the gate closes. Trigger mode changes the input to an edge trigger ping. You can have the envelope respond to gate, trigger and envelope signals by patching into the envelope IN.

Multiple Uses

You can use the Sinclastic Empulatrix in multiple ways. You can can use it as a simple asymmetrical slew by feeding an envelope or LFO into the envelope IN. Your attack and release then become the rise and fall times. You can also use it as a normal VCA for melodic content with simple controls and unique sonic character.
