Ceremony is an Dual Analog 18dB resonant Filter module inspired by Rob Hordijk’s TwinPeak design. The filter has variable characteristics allowing it to morph from a Low pass filter to a twin peak Band pass filter. The two peaks can be tuned with the two frequency controls or through the CV inputs that are controlled by two attenuverters or through the Both CV input which tracks 1v/oct and controls both frequencies equally. Ceremony adds a voltage-controlled FM amount of Frequency B to Frequency A. Each filter also includes a feedback control, which routes the audio input to Frequency control resulting in rich harmonic content. The voltage controlled Resonance at higher settings will self-oscillate the filter, creating beautiful percussive, plucky or bell-like sounds by pinging the audio input(s). The two audio inputs feature a voltage controlled Crossfader and the audio Output can be controlled by a VCA. Ceremony is a unique sounding module both as a Filter or as a Resonator with endless sweet spots!

Sigil is an Analog Function Generator in small format with voltage-controlled Rise and Fall stages. It features a voltage-controlled Cycle Function to toggle the output Envelope to an LFO/VCO and vice-versa and a continuous Shape control that morphs both the Rise and Fall slopes from exponential to linear to logarithmic, ranging from really snappy to very slow slope settings. Sigil also includes an End of Cycle Trigger Output, useful to chain subsequent envelopes. Input can work as a Trigger or a Slew Input, depending on the position of the jumper in the back of the module. A handy Attenuverter sets the Output voltage range from -10V to +10V. Sigil has been carefully calibrated to deliver musical slopes throughout and packs all the essential features of a Function Generator into just 4hp!
