This listing is for a build unit
The Vortex Generator is at is core a function generator, not that different from a Maths, DUGS or Rampage. It produces peaks and valleys at voltage controllable timing amounts. The plot twist here is that it has a shift register performing bitwise operations between its channels, in a Benjolin or Rungler style. The result is a extremely musical modulator that can output sequences too. The envelopes has been crafted with percussion in mind, so its easy to achieve all kind sale of percussive and rhythmic outputs, variations and mayhem.
Channel A and B has a trigger output that goes high at every end of cycle. And there´s a 4th clock trigger out that goes high every 4th tick of channel A (the clock). It has triggers to start both channels and every channel can work in single cycle mode and in looping mode.
Some patching possibilities:
Dual VC envelope
Dual VC LFO
Polyrithmic generator
Experimental sequencer
Complex percussion generator
Clock divider
Dual gate delay
Etc
Specs:
10HP
40mm deep
Power: 25ma at +12v, 5ma at-12V
The patch of the video is just the Vortex Generator modulating a VCO and a VCA, like this:
Vortex out A>VCO V/oct Vortex SHFT OUT> VCO/exp FM Vortex out B>VCA
That´s it. You see that even a super simple patch like this generates a lot of timbral variation, percussivenes and interesting tones. If you add an second VCO, LFO or Ring Mod the possibilities get next level.
The module loves to be self pached too.
