Zlosynth - Arplus

Product information "Zlosynth - Arplus"

Arplus combines a quantizer, CV-controlled arpeggiator and six-voice Karplus-Strong string synthesizer in a single Eurorack module. Its 31 scales range from Western diatonic modes to Arabic maqam, Indian melakarta, Japanese pentatonics and even quarter-, semi- and whole-tone divisions.

The arpeggiator creates evolving patterns from the selected scale and chord, while the quantized 1V/oct output can drive other oscillators. Chords can contain up to eight notes, scales can be customized and parameters without dedicated CV inputs can be assigned through flexible CV mapping.

The internal physical-modeling engine can pluck or bow up to six virtual strings, using either its internal excitation or an external audio burst. A resonant filter, contour control and three stereo routing modes shape sounds from tight staccato plucks to wide, sustained pads and resonating soundscapes.

Product Safety Information

Please read this safety guide before installation or use.

Important Notice & Intended Use
• This kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis.
• Assembly, including soldering, is required.
• Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation.
• The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
• Use outside this scope may result in malfunction, damage, or safety risks.

General Warnings

Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.

Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.

Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.

Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.

Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.

Assembly Requirements
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.

Testing
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system. When the unit has malfunctions due to incorrect assembly, the entire Eurorack system might be damaged. It's a good idea to test it in a separate case with only that single module.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.

Installation and Use
• Mount securely in a Eurorack case using the provided screws.
• Use only the included or manufacturer-recommended power cable.
• Connect only when the power is off.
• Follow the module's user guide for instructions on operation. Do not exceed the input/output limits specified.

Responsibility
Users are solely responsible for proper assembly and testing. Contact manufacturer support for assistance if needed.

Environmental Safety
• Dispose of the module, its components, and packaging in accordance with local electronic waste regulations.

Liability Disclaimer
• The manufacturer or distributor is not responsible for any injury, damage, or malfunction resulting from improper installation, use, or modification of this product.
