Audio Application Framework
The ELEMENTS system is based around a 26HP eurorack module, an ELEMENT, that can be flashed with software files to decide its functionality. Each module has a socket for a PJRC Teensy 3.5 MCU (ARM Cortex-M4@180MHz) with or without PJRC Audio Adapter.
ELEMENTS COMMUNICATION
The modules communicate with each other via 0/5V gate signals and 0-5V controlled voltage.
SOFTWARE
There are two types of software files for this system;
.SONIC used for generating and processing audio. Requires an audio adapter.
.SIGNAL used for data processing. Requires no audio adapter.
PERFORMANCE CONTROLLER
Each module has four analog potentiometers, PERFORMANCE CONTROLLERS, that controls key parameters for each modul.
SOFTWARE FILES:
PHOSPORUS
4xDCO
4xMIDI Output
MIDI Note, Velocity and modulation output. Four voices monophonic. Eight waveforms. FM synthesis. Each voice has separate semitone adjustments, mixer and left/right output assignment. Modulation input. Pulsewidth modulation and FM input.
HYDROGEN
2xDCF
2xDCA
4xChaos
4xSamplePlayer
Stereo or dual mono mode. Resonant state variable filters. Reverb with time and amount parameters. 4 x Chaos Designer with Low/High parameters that outputs data when triggered by gate signal.
TITANIUM
4xEnvelope Generators
Four individual ADSR Envelope Generators with fast, medium or long mode. Peak output via gate.
XENON
4xLFO
Four individual Low Frequency Oscillators with fast, medium or long mode. Four waveforms including Sample&Hold. Four LFO tempo output via gate.
MERCURY
2xLFO
2xEnvelope Generators
2xClock
A mix between TITANIUM and XENON with two envelope generators and two LFOs.
OXYGEN
4xMIDI Input/Output
4xModal Sequencer
A MIDI Interface or a sequencer that outputs four channels of different modal progressions.
MAGNESIUM
4xGate/Data Sequencer
A sequencer with four channels of eight step sequences. Doubles as a gate sequencer where a note value generates a gate signal and a NULL value sends no gate signal.
