What it does

A semi-modular groove box pairing a dual-oscillator monosynth in 303 territory with a clock and a Turing machine that shifts the pattern over time. Trigger patterns get length, swing, skip chance and even or odd weighting, and notes are pulled into a chosen root and scale. A nine-slot modulation matrix takes two LFOs, two randoms, two envelopes and a sequencer to almost any control.

In the demo

Jade runs it in AUM against a 606 pattern, holding a MIDI key to gate it, then builds it back up from the oscillators through the clock section. She drags the step sequencer onto filter cutoff, layers random and LFO modulation, then flips the pattern and changes scale.

Worth knowing

Everything sits on one panel with no menu diving, and the tradeoff is a fixed module set rather than a rack you extend. It is monophonic and pattern-driven, so it suits sequences and basslines rather than played parts.
