Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alia 6-oscillator Digital Drum Synthesizer

Description: Analog Heart with Modern, Digital Percussive Power Eurorack synthesists have long favored the percussive possibilities afforded by drum synths. While Noise Engineering isn’t the first to produce a drum synth module with a multiplicity of uses, Sweetwater’s synthesists agree that Basimilus Iteritas Alia is filled with uncompromising percussive power, brimming with cutting-edge sound-shaping tools. At an economical 10HP, this drum synth packs an unmatched, spectrum-spanning punch, perfect for gigantic percussion, snarling basses, and searing, incisive leads. Bob and weave through multiple forms of synthesis with a flexible suite of CV connectivity options for endless interoperative potential. Plus, as a member of NE’s Alia series, you can drop in new sonic palettes as needed via hot-swappable firmware. All you need is a USB connection to access available options through the Noise Engineering Customer portal!Aggressive oscillation throughout the spectrum In Latin, Basimilus Iteritas Alia translates to “more small salty foundation of repetitiousness,” Sweetwater is an Authorized Noise Engineering Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alia 6-oscillator Digital Drum Synthesizer 10HP Eurorack Digital Drum Synth Module with 6 Oscillators, Additive and FM Synthesis, Wavefolding, Harmonic Spread, Decay Controls, Variable Range, and Swappable Firmware - Black Analog Heart with Modern, Digital Percussive Power Eurorack synthesists have long favored the percussive possibilities afforded by drum synths.

All you need is a USB connection to access available options through the Noise Engineering Customer portal!Aggressive oscillation throughout the spectrum In Latin, Basimilus Iteritas Alia translates to “more small salty foundation of repetitiousness,” which feels fittingly cheeky for such a reactive module. Its aural architecture comprises six oscillators capable of both additive and FM synthesis. An additional noise oscillator can be introduced via the Attack parameter when set to the left of center. To the right, the attack value of the envelope can be adjusted for speed, while the center position produced iconic, analog-style pops. Engage in distinctive waveshaping using the Morph knob, seamlessly blending through sine, triangle, saw, and square waves, allowing dynamic exploration without skipping a beat. Operating modes are toggled with a 3-way switch at any time, with Skin, Liquid, and Metal options capable of compelling sonic arrangements. Skin functions as a 6-operator additive synth, while Liquid takes the same structure and adds a pitch envelope to the mix for more punch. If you’re after surreal sounds with complex timbres, then Metal is for you: six operators of FM synthesis, perfect for clanging, crunchy tones of any type. An offset switch provides three options for quickly moving between tonal ranges: Bass, Alto, and Treble. This switch defines the lowest pitch the module will produce, with each setting two octaves higher than the one before it.Honing harmonics and sculpting soundscapes As a module capable of such vast sonic possibilities, Basimilus Iteritas Alia oozes with character, ready to be shaped and formed to your synthesis needs. Complex modulation possibilities abound with the module’s unique approach to wavefolding that Noise Engineering refers to as its “infinifold” capabilities. These are attenuated with the Fold knob, which dynamically stacks successive fold stages contingent upon the signal’s amplitude and its folding threshold. These increase throughout the first three-quarters of clockwise rotation until a pulse train is introduced to produce further harmonic range. These can be further manipulated and modulated with the Spread control, altering the frequency distribution of the oscillators to affect the overtone series, moving from purely harmonic to entirely non-harmonic, making for wonderfully noisy, percussive tones and emphatic stabs. For all this talk about harmonic character, we need to address the aptly labeled Harmonic parameter. Harmonic adjusts the harmonic decay of all the oscillators, from just one being audible to a symphony of harmonic enrichment, moving clockwise from the left. As you increase the values of the parameter through the first quarter turn, a second tone fades in. Keep going, and the decay rates, followed by the amplitudes of each oscillator, successively grow. This results in blossoming timbral complexities whose diversity increases exponentially as it’s modulated in conjunction with the module’s other parameters. With so many opportunities for CV control of virtually every facet of BIA, it’s a pleasant surprise that Noise Engineering included a Hit switch to manually trigger the module.World of Alia: hot-swappable sound for that somebody In the world of Noise Engineering, “modularity” is a term regularly tested and pushed well beyond the conventional envelope. The Alia series represents the company’s latest variation on the theme, “What if our modules could be, themselves, modular in their sonic output?” In other words, the 10HP Alia modules can have their entire functions rewritten through hot-swappable firmware via USB connectivity and the Noise Engineering customer portal to completely switch up your Eurorack vibe. Three shades of their vaunted Iteritas sonics are available: the ferocious percussion power of Basimilus Iteritas; the otherworldly, machinated techno-synths of Manis Iteritas; or the additive phase-modulation magic of Debel Iteritas. With one module, the firmware for the others is free and ready to swap whenever you need a distinct spin on your synth palette.Noise Engineering: unbridled passion for modulation magic From the beginnings of humble happenstance to transcending the physical-digital divide to produce compelling, innovative hardware and software instruments, one crucial element has consistently remained as Noise Engineering’s cornerstone: integrity. The company wholeheartedly understands how infinitely personal your relationship to sound can be, so each instrument — physical or virtual — brims with a distinctive character. Additionally, every module provides maximum room for personalized control while retaining its defining attributes that give Noise Engineering’s designs their unmistakable sonic identity. Whether you’re new to Eurorack or a dyed-in-the-wool synthesist, you can rest assured knowing that the creative team at Noise Engineering crafts each aural opportunity with care, one waveform at a time.Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alia Features: 10HP size delivers versatile synthesis opportunities in an economically sized package 6-oscillator architecture ensures rich, full sonics with plenty of fine-tuning for both additive and FM synthesis Deep temporal control means unmatched flexibility from deep analog kicks to mangled, metallic leads Additional noise oscillator can be introduced for texturizing tones or snappy claps and snares Multi-variable wavefolding and waveshaping yield complex timbral structures Harmonic control allows for precise attenuation of oscillator decay and sonic heft Modulating the Spread parameter easily migrates between harmonic overtone series to inharmonic overtones, perfect for leads and drums, respectively 3-way switch easily toggles between 3 distinct operating modes: Skin, for additive synth tones; Liquid, throws on a pitch envelope for extra oomph; and Metal, for 6-operator FM grit Variable range control is accomplished with Bass, Alto, and Treble options via a 3-way selector, setting the lowest tone in 2-octave increments Extensive CV connectivity means endless interoperative potential and modulation of nearly every parameter Alia series module means instant, hot-swappable firmware for radically altering your synth palette whenever needed SpecificationDetail Type Universal Drum Synthesizer Analog/Digital Digital Oscillator 6 x VCO Controls Pitch, Decay, Attack, Morph, Fold, Harmonic, Spread, Skin/Liquid/Metal, Bass/Alto/Treble Analog Outputs 1 x 1/8", 1 x 1/8" (env out) Other I/O Pitch, Spread, Harm, Attack, Morph, Fold, Decay, Trig, S/L/M, B/A/T Depth 1.5" (38.1mm) HP Size 10HP Power Usage +12V/105mA, -12V/10mA, 5V/0mA Power Supply Requires Eurorack Case and Power Supply RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
