myriad: a stereo eurorack multi-oscillator, with flexible modulation, powerful meta-modulation systems, and novel hybrid analogue/digital sounds synthesis.
myriad is a pataphonic* oscillator. if pataphysics is the science of imaginary solutions and exceptions to the norm, then pataphonics explores the contrast between everyday music making and the surreal, abstract and maybe absurd edges of sound synthesis. just like pataphysics accepts that contradictions can simultaneously be
true, myriad can seem as a conventional oscillator, but also veer away into wildly unconventional textural sounds and experimental modulations. with flexible mixes of sound sources and dynamic meta-modulation systems,myriad allows for flexible mixes of sound sources and dynamic meta-modulation systems. this encourages the
musician to reimagine the role of an oscillator by working across layered and shifting tonal textures, as well as creating wide discordant soundscapes and morphing melodic sequences.
*myriad is also paraphonic, with multiple oscillators summing to the same signal path
features:
12 oscillator models using bitwave synthesis
9 detunable oscillators (organised in 3 banks of 3, around 1700 combinations)
two types of output: clean, or shaped, using analog waveshaping and overdrive
stereo outputs for both clean and shaped sounds.
built-in vca
adjustable cv control of pitch, spread, octave interval, vca and epsilon (a parameter that controls something different in each oscillator model)
7 metamodulators - lively algorithmic modulation systems that influence the oscillator models
colour tft screen
overdrive leds visible through the front panel
precise digital tuning
hackable open-source design - both hardware and software
