"Here's a high energy modular synth performance by Chief Noisemaker Stephen McCaul.

The bottom case is a six voice case with Incus Iteritas Alia (2), Debel Iteritas Alia, Tymp Legio, Manis Iteritas Alia, Virt Iter Legio + Ampla Legio.

There is a Librae Legio for the percussion submix (paralleling the main mix) and an Electus Versio on a send. The rhythm sequencing is from an experimental prototype that isn't really product worthy.

Pitch sequencing comes from Opp Ned. And the Xer Mixa mixer ties it all together.

The top case is an effects rig for another project but i used a Fala Versio and a Yester Versio in that case for some additional effects."

Using modulation and expression with Batverb

"We are integrating even more gear by exploring how the Expression input on Batverb can be routed to suit your needs best, and patching it up with external modulators.

In this patch, the ADSR envelope from Quantus Trajecta modulates the Expression input, which is mapped to Batverb’s Regen control.

If you’re a fan of our Eurorack products, you may notice some similarities between Batverb and Desmodus Versio. And it’s true: they share some similarly named controls, and a lot of their respective inspiration came from the same place. However, Batverb shares none of its code with Desmodus. It was completely written from the ground up as an entirely new product.

Batverb blog post: https://noiseengineering.us/blogs/loq...

We’re close to Desmodus’s five-year anniversary, and in that time we’ve learned a lot about reverb. Desmodus is still one of our favorite products we’ve ever released, but the knowledge we’ve gained allowed us to design Batverb to work particularly well with dynamic, polyphonic instruments like guitars as well as synths and the occasional saxophone. One of the first tests we did in early Batverb R&D was to plug a guitar into Desmodus Versio. It sounded nice, but, just like Desmodus was designed to play off of Eurorack’s strengths, we knew we wanted things to be different for a guitar-focussed product.

Listen to Batverb stereo reverb pedal with modular and hardware synths: • Listen to Batverb stereo reverb pedal... [2nd video here]

One major change between the products is that Batverb uses no delay-line modulation, resulting in a sound that’s more transparent – if you want it to be. Timbre shaping is done with five parameters: Hi Pass and Lo Pass allow you to filter the reverb tail into whatever space you’d like it to fill, Doom and Shimmer add low- and high-end content, and Grit makes things as clean or crunchy as you’d like.

Batverb is the stereo reverb that dreams are made of: less of a room simulator and more of a tail generating pedal, Batverb is an instrument in its own right.

Taking inspiration from our popular tail-generating modules, Batverb brings reverberation and delay to a whole new level with extensive control of timbre, echoes, and dynamics.

Start by setting a predelay time and adjusting Regen to set the length of the tail, from a short slapback-style echo to an infinite wall of reverberation. A variety of unique controls make Batverb sing in any signal chain:

Doom adds in chaotic suboctaves, and Shimmer brings in haunting overtones. With each on its own control, go wild and have both at the same time!

Low and high damping settings for the reverb tank

Add filtering and harmonics to reverb tails

Built-in saturation can apply to only the wet signal or the whole output
Includes onboard dry/wet Blend control and input- and output-gain parameters

Unique Duck switch controls the reverb’s behavior: duck out of the way of an input signal, or match the dynamics of your playing, similar to a gated reverb

Create instant atmospheres with reverb-freezing Hold footswitch
Route the expression input can to any parameter on the pedal

Store and recall 16 different presets and recall them in response to MIDI program-change messages.

Noise Engineering announces Batverb, an experimental reverb, delay, and infinite-tail generator

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their expansive selection of synthesizer effects and sound sources, announces Batverb, a distinctive stereo reverb with a twist.

Noise Engineering’s take on reverb has always been innovative, creating effects that are as much instruments as they are processors. Batverb is no exception: parameters allow the resulting effects to morph organically from slapback delays to infinite reverb tails.

“Batverb was inspired by our Desmodus Versio module, but when we tried to bring the Desmodus experience to guitar, we realized quickly that we would need to rethink the approach. Batverb shares concepts with Desmodus but shares zero code: the entire thing was redesigned from the ground up, with the dynamics and tonality of guitar at the forefront,” said Stephen McCaul, Chief Noisemaker at Noise Engineering. Kris Kaiser who is the Doer of Many Things at the small company added, “Working with guitar was key, but what sounds great on guitar also works really well for loads of other instruments.” Indeed, Batverb’s stereo I/O and MIDI integration make it a perfect choice for a multitude of instruments.

Kaiser continued, “I like to say Batverb isn’t your father’s reverb because it has such unique features.” She’s not wrong. Along with predelay/delay Time and Regen controls, Batverb includes a number of parameters for shaping the tone of the reverb itself. The Grit switch adds a unique harmonic distortion to the tail or the whole mix, and the Doom and Shimmer controls add in subharmonics and overtones. Batverb also has onboard adjustable highpass and lowpass filters to shape the tone to taste.

Batverb’s configurable Bypass footswitch can cut the reverb tail immediately, or simply mute the input to the reverb processor, allowing the tail to ring out while you play. The Infinite footswitch mutes the input to the reverb tank while maximizing the feedback for an infinite atmosphere.

The innovative Duck switch uses the dynamics of your playing to shape the reverb tail. Use the right setting to duck the reverb out of the way of your guitar’s tone, or the left setting to make the reverb’s dynamics match your guitar’s.

Batverb also stores/recalls up to 16 presets with MIDI Program Change messages. Batverb features a convenient MIDI thru jack, so it’s easy to patch into your MIDI control chain. In addition, all parameters can also be controlled via MIDI for automation and remote control from a DAW or configurable controllers.

Noise Engineering is a member of 1% for the Planet and has been donating a percentage of all sales to environmental conservation. Proceeds from Batverb will benefit the organization Bat Conservation International.

Batverb is available for preorder with MSRP of $499. It starts shipping March 13 from noiseengineering.us and retailers worldwide.

Batverb was designed and built in sunny Southern California.

Confundo Funkidos: Using BURN for rhythmic fills

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Confundo Funkidos is the second version of the classic Eurorack module Confundo Funkitus.

This post supplements the blog on Noise Engineering's website here: https://noiseengineering.us/blogs/loq...

One of the greatly expanded features on the new Confundo Funkidos is Burn. The original Confundo Funkitus had a simple button that was all-or-nothing when it came to fills, but we added a CV-controllable potentiometer and added a mute behavior for Burn when we reimagined the Funkidos.

Watch the full Confundo Funkidos demo video here:
• Confundo Funkidos four-channel rhythm... [posted here]

See how the new Accent outputs work here:
• Confundo Funkidos: How Accent outputs... [posted here]

For more information or to order:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Confundo Funkidos is a rhythm crossfader and mute utility. Patch two pairs of rhythms to the left and right inputs, then use the CV-controllable crossfader and three Curve algorithms to fade between them and combine them in different ways. Each channel has a mute switch which can be used to bring a voice in and out of a patch at will. Tap the Burn button for some instant fills, and your percussion performances will never be the same."

Eurorack formant modules - part 2

"I did a comparison of some formant filters a while back ( • Eurorack Formant Filter comparison [posted here] ), and since then have acquired a few more, so time for another comparison.

This one includes the 2hp vowel, which isn't actually a filter, and the Noise Engineering Fala Versio, which isn't trying to be a talk box.

So it's all formant-y, but not strictly filters

NAMM 2025: Noise Engineering Dystorpia & Batverb

video upload by sonicstate

"We caught up with Stephen McCaul from Noise Engineering at NAMM 2025, who introduced us to two intriguing guitar pedals. The first, *Dystorpia*, is a distortion pedal that debuted last fall. It features various kinds of distortion, including a mode influenced by classic fuzz effects, a wave folder, basic saturation, and sub-octave producing distortions. There's also a mode to add extra grit with a crunchy filter. McCaul explained these features offered a wide range of sound manipulation from subtle tonal shifts to full sonic obliteration.

The second pedal, *Batverb*, is set for release in March. McCall described it as taking inspiration from their Desmodus module, featuring a dense reverb with built-in shimmer and a similar function called doom that adds an octave down. It also includes a lo-fi crunchy distortion option. Batverb promises to deliver clear echoes and dramatic pitch-shifting capabilities, aimed at enhancing guitar sounds."

"Confundo Funkidos is the second version of the classic Eurorack module Confundo Funkitus.

Accent outputs are a new feature to this module. Accent patterns are generatively created using the rhythms at the inputs, adding a new, dynamic dimension to even the simplest of trigger sequences. The Accent jacks output high or low gates, which can be used with dedicated percussion modules or as modulation sources in a patch.

"This is a video demonstrating the sounds of the Basimilus Iteritas Alter by Noise Engineering.

This beast just keeps on delivering. It is such a versatile unit that produces sounds from relatively gently pluck sounds to all out distorted gabber kicks. The possibilities are so vast and unknown it is just a matter of keeping twisting the knobs until you land on the spot you never know you were looking for. Noise Engineering has released the Basimilus Iteritas Alia to replace the Alter due to a lack components available. They apparently sound almost the same.
