Apollo View - Manic

Developed with DivKid, Manic is a compact 8HP dual VCA module built for advanced sound sculpting. It supports mono, dual mono, or true stereo workflows with precision linear VCAs and selectable unipolar or bipolar response—ideal for amplitude shaping or ring modulation.

Each channel features a dedicated post-VCA shaping stage:
Shape1 delivers TanH soft clipping and classic Serge-style wavefolding.
Shape2 adds hard clipping and a Buchla-inspired wavefolder.
The asymmetrical design between channels creates rich, animated stereo effects from mono or stereo sources—perfect for depth and width in modular mixes.

Optimized for both CV and audio, Manic is a performance-ready tool that brings hands-on control, creative modulation, and stereo imaging into any Eurorack setup.

Features:
• A collaborative design from both DivKid & Apollo View Modular
• Selectable unipolar or bipolar VCA circuitry per channel
• Three distinct shape outputs per channel: Inverted, Clipped, and Wavefolding
• TanH soft clipping & hard clipping
• Serge style wavefolding & Buchla style wavefolding
• Stereo operation with perfectly matched gains for the clipping and wavefolding circuits, creating a stunning stereo widening effect
• DC-coupled signal path for processing both audio and CV signals
• Input and modulation normalisations for simple mono to stereo operation
• Flexible signal flow allows for creative combinations, such as ring modulation into clipping or wavefolding
