Time-Domain Boss / Bringer of Doom
The core idea for KALI is that complex and musical sonic patterns/beats can be created naturally by combining a modulated audio source with a time-domain (i.e. a delay) effect, especially if the modulation is synchronized to the effect.
Kali has two major sections to facilitate this.
* 32-bit (Float) 48000khz Stereo Time Domain FX Processor
* 6 x Bipolar 12-bit CV Outs (-7v to 7v) + 2 x Clocks
The L and R delay times are the main timebase to which everything else is synchronized; the rates of everything else can be adjusted in multiples of this time, both independently and (with the lfo rate knob) all at once.
Specs
Kali is built around an Electrosmith Daisy Patch Submodule, an embedded development platform (STM32 H7 @ 480mhz) with a high fidelity PCM3060 codec.
Audio input/output is 48000khz @ 24-bit, internally 32-bit (floating point).
Because of the generous SDRAM on the Daisy Patch Submodule, these delay lines have a maximum time of roughly 150 seconds per channel (we cap it at 10 seconds in most modes as that has proven to be a good generally useful range, but this maximum can be changed).
CV outputs are all 12-bit, and lowpassed to mitigate aliasing. Output range is -7v to 7v, most LFO modes can be toggled between bipolar and unipolar output. Currently their sample rate is once per block of audio, or 500hz.
Synchronization
Sync in by pulse/trigger or TRS MIDI In (A or B, thx to lpzwmodules).
Pulse sync out x2
FX Modes
* Basic/ping-pong delay.
* Chorus.
* Numerous granular delays / dumb harmonizers.
* Distortion (Waveshaping, Diode, Wavefolding, Saturation, Modulo) -> Delay.
* Basic delay w/ external feedback loop (Mono: L in -> L out -> Ext Loop -> R in -> R out).
* "Freeze" button - loops slices of the delay buffer.
LFO Modes
Modulators synchronized to multiples of main delay time.
* Basic LFO: Sine, Tri, Saw, Ramp, Pulse & Polyblep Tri, Saw, Pulse.
* Sample & Hold
* Track & Hold
* Random Reset (Basic LFO Shapes)
* Random Shape
* Glacier (Basic LFO Shapes, speed / 100).
* Jitter (Basic LFO Shapes w/ random phase distortion)
* Clocks (More pulse clock out)
* Constant (Sends constant voltage out)
