Analog, addressable, non-linear, 8-stage, chainable, function generator and control module

Available on Kickstarter from March 23rd through April 22nd as DIY and completed module at 25% off.

Outputs up to eight different control voltage levels (levels set by the LED sliders) in a sequence determined by a control signal. Depending on how you use it, it can be a:

• Control Voltage (CV) Sequencer
• Gate Sequencer
• Arpeggio Generator
• Envelope Generator
• Burst Generator
• Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO)

The Facehugger is unclocked, using an internal ramp generator to control the cycling, or you can use any external 0-+5V waveform instead. The Sequence order is determined by amplitude and slope of the driving waveform: if it is linear, the stages will trigger linearly (in order), incrementing with a rising signal, and decrementing with a falling signal. With a non-linear drive signal (like a stepped, or staircase wave), the stages will trigger non-linearly based on the same parameters.

Multiple units can be chained together for longer patterns or for synchronizing to generate chords via a rear chaining header.

The rear Ramp out pin can be used as a synch oscillator, or even

• when using an external drive waveform
• as a separate, fully-controllable LFO with adjustable curvature.

The Facehugger also has a rear expansion header for a separate expander module that provides individual level out jacks, individual gate out jacks, a master Gate in jack, and a ramp out jack (see Expander Milestone below for details).

Edit 20, April: Added phasor/vector function - the step direction changes based on drive polarity. With a bipolar drive signal, the slider order will reverse direction when the drive signal goes + to - or vice versa.

• A positive signal goes 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, a negative signal goes 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.
• If you have the length set to, say 5, it will be +: 1-2-3-4-5-, -: 5-4-3-2-1.
• A positive-going bipolar ramp from -5V to +5V will have the order 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (I'll see about avoiding that center doubling).
• This also inverts the addressing: if +4V = stage 6, -2V = stage 3.
