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.

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.

All the details on Batverb: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

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.

Basimilus Iteritas Alia jam with tons of CV modulation and muting

video upload by Noise Engineering

"This is an extended version of the jam used for the official Basimilus Iteritas Alia demo. [posted here]

Our Ambassador to the Stars, Patrick O’Brien, features the BIA in this all-Noise Engineering case.

Triggers come from the Bin Seq, and CV modulation comes from the Mimetic Digitalis stepped sequencer. The Muta Jovis switches off/on the CV, going into the BIA's inputs throughout the patch. The BIA is then sent to Roucha Legio, our stereo filter, which is activated with the gate coming from one of the Horologic Solum channels into the Bypass input.

More on the BIA here: https://bit.ly/3rPRryZ

Manis provides a nice, bright melodic splash throughout the jam, and Virt Iter Legio provides stereo bass drone sounds.

The BIA is a parameterized digital drum voice with its roots in the analog world. At its heart, the BIA is a simple six-oscillator additive and FM synthesizer with waveform, harmonic spread, and envelope controls. An adjustable noise oscillator and an extreme take on a wavefolder round out its synthesis abilities. Its straightforward controls make sound design fun and performable: create sub-shaking kicks, snares, hats, and unique drum hits with just a few tweaks.

• A go-to for percussion synthesis
• Also excellent at leads and basses
• Additive/FM digital synth with root and inspiration in the analog world.
• CV over every parameter
• Dedicated envelope output
• Encoder tuning

Basimilus Iteritas Alia is the successor to the original Basimilus Iteritas Alter. It was developed to sound nearly identical, with added features and new firmware-swapping capabilities."

BAF 2024: Noise Engineering - Alia Series Modules

video upload by sonicstate

"We Met Marcus from Noise Engineering at Buchla And Friends 2024 and he gave us an overview of their new products, including the Alia series of oscillators. The Alia series features their four classic oscillators - Basimilus Iteritas, Manis Iteritas, Cursus Iteritas, and Ataraxic Iteritas - all redesigned with the ability to swap firmwares. This allows users to try any of the six available firmwares and easily switch between them on their website. Marcus also demonstrated the Debel Iteritas and Incus Iteritas modules, offering FM and percussive-oriented sounds respectively.

In addition to the Alia series, Noise Engineering also presented two prototype modules. The first is Pax Digitalis, a quantized random source with four channels, allowing users to create randomized sequences with adjustable deviation and direction, as well as the ability to loop and change scale. The second prototype is Sinc Seq, an arpeggiator that provides the flexibility to build custom arpeggios, save them, and cycle through them with triggers. Release dates and prices for these prototypes are yet to be announced

Alia Modules Price: 389 USD

Cursus Iteritas Alia wavetable oscillator from Noise Engineering

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Cursus Iteritas Alia is our take on a spectral/wavetable oscillator. Cursus Iteritas has long been regarded as the gentlest, most melodic Iteritas oscillator, but its Fold and Edge parameters can bring it the territory of aggressive and in-your-face sounds, too.

Cursus is available now: https://bit.ly/3HmzZG8

0:00 Overview
1:09 Panel and Controls
4:03 Patch: Metallic Lullaby
4:31 Patch: Sweet & Sour
4:56 Patch: 'Til Death
5:23 Patch: Foiled Again
5:48 Patch: Resonant March
6:16 Alia platform

Cursus Iteritas is a freerunning oscillator. Pair it with a VCA and a slow envelope for the perfect lead line, and try patching its pitch and modulation inputs with something like a ribbon controller or gesture module for expressive control.

The Daub/Four/Walsh switch selects the synthesis algorithm used to generate sounds. Center, Structure, Width, and Tilt control the harmonic structure of the oscillator, with a variety of interdependencies between controls. Edge and Fold add distortion and grit to the sound if things are a bit too gentle. We recommend starting out with Edge and Fold at minimum and the rest of the controls centered, then experimenting with the various controls.

Alia is a 10HP oscillator platform much like the Versio and Legio platforms. With Alia, we are pleased to bring back Cursus and Ataraxic Iteritas, as well as Manis and Basimilus. We've also released new voices on Alia: Debel and Incus.

Alia's interface is similar to the Iteritas modules but now includes an encoder for easier tuning, a dedicated Sub Out jack, a Hold button for freezing CV modulation, and a self-calibrating pitch input that expects -2V to +5V. Cursus has been designed to sound as close to the old versions as possible.

Like with our other platforms, if you own any Alia module, you can swap to any other Alia firmware for free by going to the Noise Engineering Customer Portal and connecting with the included USB cable."

"Incus Iteritas Alia is available now: https://bit.ly/4b0koJW

Incus Iteritas Alia smashes big and bold sounds into your patches. Incus started as a percussion voice, and was smelted into something even wilder: create kicks for any genre, snares, and metallic hits, or go melodic and create FM plucks, analog-style basslines, and so much more. Incus uses a combination of waveshaping, saturation, wavefolding, FM, and additive synthesis, plus a slew of internal modulation, all behind easy-to-use parameters perfect for jamming.

Both FM and additive synthesis can be quite complex, but Incus uses a simple set of controls to keep things straightforward."

Press release follows:

"Los Angeles, CA — Modular synthesizer company Noise Engineering, known for their innovative Eurorack modules, has announced three additions to their Alia oscillator platform: Ataraxic Iteritas Alia, Cursus Iteritas Alia, and Incus Iteritas Alia.

In 2023, Noise Engineering released the 10HP Alia platform, marking the return of their Iteritas oscillators. Alia launched with the famed Basimilus Iteritas firmware, along with Manis Iteritas and the new Debel Iteritas, but the team promised firmwares in the near future.

Now, Noise Engineering has delivered, doubling the number of firmwares available for Alia. Cursus Iteritas Alia and Ataraxic Iteritas Alia are revamped versions of the originals, promising to sound nearly identical to the originals with improved encoder tuning, a suboscillator output, and a performable Hold button. Incus Iteritas Alia is an all-new voice based around wavemorphing additive FM, designed for percussive and melodic sound design.

Since Alia is an oscillator platform, owners of existing Alias can try out all three of the new firmwares on their modules. Firmware is 100% free and swappable at any time from the Noise Engineering Customer Portal. With six firmwares now available for the platform, the Alia is an excellent choice for those who want an incredibly diverse yet compact sound source in their system. Swappable overlays for all firmwares are also available from the Noise Engineering webshop and retailers around the world.

The new Incus Iteritas Alia is an exciting addition to the lineup, utilizing Noise Engineering’s favorite synthesis tricks and techniques to create a new voice boasting a massive range of timbres. Sounds are created with a combination of additive, wavemorphing, and FM synthesis, with three different algorithms all controlled by an internal dynamics envelope. Users familiar with the Basimilus will find that Incus has a similar workflow, and while it can synthesize the best parts of a drum kit, it’s also well-suited to bass and melodic duties.

As usual for their platforms, all of the new firmwares are available as paneled modules, so customers can choose the panel they prefer. Ataraxic Iteritas Alia, Cursus Iteritas Alia, and Incus Iteritas Alia are available now at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

Availability and pricing:
Ataraxic Iteritas Alia, Cursus Iteritas Alia, and Incus Iteritas Alia: In stock in black and silver.

296T mixed outputs and Selective FM | Buchla/Tiptop 200T Series | Episode 8

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I had a second long session with the 296T after my first patch video. This video tries to justify why the 296T could be worth the big footprint so it can be more than 'just a big equalizer'. This always depends on the type of music you'd like to make on a modular, and for many, a multimode filter would be more than enough. The 296T is like a surgical audio tool, doubling as an EQ or filter. In this video, I'll use the brutal Manis Iteritas as a source and use both the attennuated & program outputs to sculpt something new from it. It's a very rich voice with artifacts and noise because of the 6-operator sawtooth algorithms and it does not have many sweetspots outside it's heavy industry character. The 296T is an ideal tool to help you tame it for different applications and sounds, even ambient.
Also, there's true magic in the technique of 'selective FM', where you can use indivdual band outputs to 'FM' your VCO. It's a trick I've learned with the MakeNoise FxDf fixed filter. The 296T can take it to another level.

I wish you a great New Years Eve and I am looking forward seeing you in 2024. Happy patching!"
