AF Labs - MI Blades (PCB)

Features:• An essential overdrive circuit A CV-controlled overdrive stage precedes each of the two filters. Overdrive response continuously adjustable between soft-clipping and 2-stage wavefolding.• Two rich multimode filters Clean 2-pole (12dB/octave) state-variable design. CV-controlled filter response, continuously variable between low-pass, band-pass and high-pass. CV inputs with attenuverters for cutoff and resonance. Unattenuated frequency CV input, calibrated for 1V/Oct tracking. Clean self-oscillation across the audio range, extending into very low frequencies, with constant amplitude. Modulating the filter response is akin to modulating the phase of the self-oscillation tone.• Unique routing possibilities Continuously variable (and CV-controlled) routing from single to parallel to series. With a signal patched into filter 2's audio input, the routing knob and CV act as a crossfader. Filter 2's cutoff can be set relatively to filter 1's cutoff.DIY-Kit-Type:PCB only Kit.

CV Post-processor• The STEPS parameter controls the steppiness/quantization of the output voltages.• Turn this knob clockwise and a progressive quantizer is applied to the voltages - progressively reducing the probability of hitting a note outside of the scale, then making accidentals less likely, then giving more weight to the root and fifth - and at the extreme yielding only octaves.• If steppy is not your thing, turn counterclockwise to increasingly slew the output voltages to the point that the module produces smooth, continuous curves.Programmable quantizer• 6 programmable scales.• Scales are programmed by playing a short jam in the target scale: Marbles learns which notes are more prominent than others.Output diversity• The three outputs can all follow the settings dialed on the control panel, or react in different and opposite ways. The turn of a knob can completely push your patch towards a new direction!Random looping and shuffling• DEJA VU parameter increasing the probably of re-playing past material to the point that the generated output forms a loop... then increasing the probability of randomizing the order of this loop.• The DEJA VU control applies to the random rhythm, the random voltages, or to both, or neither of them.• Adjustable loop length from 1 to 16 steps.External CV processing• An external CV can be recorded in the DEJA VU loop in place of internal random voltages.• All transformations performed by the random voltage generator (looping, shuffling, spreading, transposition, quantization, lag-processing) can be performed on external voltages.• TLDR: live remixing of external sequences!DIY-Kit-Type:PCB only Kit.
