Pitch is quantized, with each voice locking to a selectable key and one of eight musical modes for consistent harmonic control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is built for immediate tactile performance and sound exploration, functioning as a sound design tool, performance instrument, and central voice in effects-based setups. It integrates easily into pedalboard systems and complex signal chains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithout traditional keys, it shifts focus from fixed patterns to guided harmonic discovery. Voices can be triggered via onboard controls, MIDI, or CV\/gate triggering, supporting hands-on playing, modular systems, and sequencing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach voice features independent pitch control that snaps to scale degrees, enabling open-ended melodic movement within a stable musical framework.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt its core is a morphing tonal engine. The Shape control moves each voice from a warm sine-like foundation into harmonic saturation with analog style overtones, grit, and complexity, delivering a deep resonant low end with strong weight and bass response. Attack and Decay shape voice response from percussive rhythmic strikes to slow evolving swells that dissolve into space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA global LFO modulates pitch across all voices, from subtle drift to extreme instability. Onboard reverb expands everything into a deep spatial field and atmospheric wash. The result is an instrument between a melodic synth, drone machine, and experimental performance tool, grounded in musical structure and open to pitch-based exploration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDesigned and assembled in Seattle, Washington. Operates on a standard 9Vdc Boss-style power supply (not included).
