Noise Engineering's Bundle 1

Noise Engineering’s Bundle 1 includes two of our popular Eurorack synths, Basimilus, Cursus Vereor, and our tail-generator reverb, Desmodus. Each uses the synthesis from the modules to create Rack Extensions that are versatile and unlike anything in your rack.

Basimilus

Basimilus is a parameterized digital synthesizer with its roots in the analog world. At its heart it is a simple six-oscillator additive synthesizer with adjustable waveform, harmonic spread and decay. Plus, an adjustable attack stage with a noise oscillator is also included. Oscillators are summed and fed into an infinifolder – Noise Engineering’s unique take on a wavefolder – for crunch and variety. Three modes change the interaction of the additive oscillators, allowing for incredibly versatile sound design with just a few tweaks. Basimilus is a go-to drum synth, but also excels at leads, basses, and more.

• Oscillator waveforms smoothly morph through sine, triangle, saw, and square
• Individual attack and decay controls for complete control over transient shape, noise, and tail
• Infinifolder wavefolding algorithm shapes sounds in unique ways
• Spread adjusts the frequency spacing of all oscillators for simple control over harmonic or dissonant additive relationships
• Envelope output allows for further patching
• Go even deeper with back-panel patching: all front-panel controls can be controlled via CV or self patched with the built-in Envelope output
• Inspired by hardware: designed with patching and CV modulation in mind
• 500 presets

Cursus Vereor

Cursus Vereor is a synthesizer that creates sound from a dynamically generated wavetable. It gives the user spectral-like controls in three different modes based on different conceptualizations of frequency: Fourier, which uses sine waves; Daubechies, using wavelets; and Walsh mode, using the Walsh transform. Cursus Vereor parametrizes a wide variety of sounds, but because the sounds are all based off of orthogonal functions, it has a musical tone structure and can produce an extremely wide variety of harmonic sounds. CIV can be shaped to create gentle plucks and pads but excels at organic and synthetic basses and aggressive tones. Plus, a multimode filter and VCA controlled by an ADSR envelope and a vintage-inspired chorus allow for further dynamic and tonal shaping.

• Precise pitch adjustment parameters: octave, semitone, cent
• Simple controls: easy to use with surprising depth and character
• Timbres are generated with three orthogonal functions: Fourier, Daubechies, and Walsh
• Excels at organic sound creation: beautiful and warm sounds are a breeze, or add in some crunch with the Fold and Edge parameters
• Chorus adds width and motion to any sound
• Further shape dynamic and harmonic structure of your sound via the VCA, filter, and Envelope sections
• Go even deeper with back-panel patching: all front-panel controls can be controlled via CV or self patched with the built-in Envelope output
• Inspired by hardware: designed with patching and CV modulation in mind
• 500 presets

Desmodus
Desmodus is Noise Engineering’s take on a reverb. This true stereo effect is less of a room or hall emulator and more of a sound design tool designed for experimentation and performance. With the twist of a few knobs, you can turn your sound from a beautiful clocked delay to a shimmering reverb to an uncanny, nightmarish atmosphere.

• Enable clocking to create tempo-synced echoes and rhythmic reverberant effects
• Three reverb modes: Limit for clean effects, Distort for saturated tails, and Shift for haunting octave shifts
• Three delay modulation modes: cleanly change delay time with Blend, or use Lerp and Jump for wild delay jumps
• Use the internal LFO to modulate the delays for mild atmosphere changes or extreme timbral effects
• Back-panel CV inputs are available for all controls
• Inspired by hardware: designed with patching and CV modulation in mind
• 500 presets
