1. This is Rhythmi.
Rhythmi is a Eurorack drum sequencer that allows you to dial in your groove, and explore it by evolving the pattern and modulating the energy. It allows for rhythmic inspiration and creativity without the burden of step programming. The evolve parameter enables smooth transitions between related rhythms through the use of branches. New branches can be generated at the push of a button, loading up a whole new branch of related rhythms to explore. The Evolve parameter is the heart of Rhythmi, its inspiration, and defining feature. Allowing rhythms to shift, transform, and melt into one another. The Clock Section provides internal or external clocking with division or multiplication. The Customize Section shapes individual drum elements through density and syncopation. The Global Section introduces macro-level control over the rhythm via the Energy, Evolve, Length and Swing parameters, dynamically shaping fills and variations. Rhythmi has a jumper cable connector on the back to pair up seamlessly with Beatsi, the drum voice it was designed alongside with.
2. This is Beatsi.
Beatsi is our love letter to modular drums! Inspired by classic modular drum synthesis which uses the fundamental building blocks, Beatsi’s timbres were created using the same methods, only digitally, to minimize footprint. Beatsi is not a sample player or a physical modeller, and it’s meant to be that way. Beatsi’s interface allows for control over individual piece Timbre, Pitch, Decay, and Level. The timbres are organized into 3 kits: an orange (acoustic) kit, a blue (low-fi) kit, and a green (alien) kit. Within these kits the timbres blend smoothly into one another allowing for seamless modulation. Beatsi has two CV modulation inputs which are assignable to any and all parameters with individual attenuversion. Beatsi may be small, but it packs a serious punch.
3. This is Rosci.
TUNABLE PARAMETERS BREAKDOWN: COMPLEXITY: Essentially a generation of unique timbre. ROUNDNESS: Set the basic shape of your waveform. Go from from sharp to soft sound, similar to filtering. HARMONICS: Add up to 6 harmonies to your sound. The choir's here. FORMANTS: Accentuate certain overtones in your sound (like a voice singing "ooo", "ahh", "eee"). DETUNE: Add a classic 'detune' with a changing phase wave for extra wide sound. HOW DOES IT WORK? It is a pipeline of algorithms, which generates and modifies a waveform starting from top to bottom. Rosci works on a principle of key points: the generate button generates key point location and amplitudes to be passed down the pipeline.
Tunable parameters:
Beginning with complexity, you set the number of key points (even numbers only to create a waveform). Lowest complexity sets two points, and highest complexity sets up to 20 points. The number of key points will vary with each waveform generated. From there, the roundness sets the type of interpolation of the key points, from square to sine. Adjusting the harmonics creates copies of the waveform and adds them to the original waveform at double, triple, ... up to 6x the base frequency. Formants maintains the frequency of the wave, but squishes it so there is 'empty space' in between (this is also called pulsar synthesis). Finally, detune copies the waveform and 'detunes it' by increasing the frequency ever so slightly. And there you have it: a unique Rosci soundscape :)
4. This is Melodi.
Melodi is a semi-random sequence generator built for Eurorack! No more time spent fidgeting with sequence steps, Melodi generates sequences based on the mood you set so you can create the sound you’re searching for—It can be tweaked to create anything from a powerful bassline to a sparkly melody.5. Made by Rosci.
