Impressive little module for bit reduction type effects

This was well worth buying. It really added alot to the type of sound I was looking for. It has a nice range of effect selections to control how it handles the incoming audio.

Multi-functional tool for audio and cv

I've been putting this module to quite some uses, ranging from normal audio-destruction to CV-arpeggiators.

For audio, the 16 different algorithms create very different tonal colorations, which can be very well used to fatten up your sound when (filtered and) mixed with the original signal.

Used with LFO's it can create interesting patterns which change dynamically by controlling the cv inputs.

Put a noise through this module and control the cv inputs with A/D envelopes to quickly create hard snares, hihats and crashes (pairs good with the wiard noisering) and end off with a clamping vca.

Combine this module in mode 10/11 with a sample&hold and the A-183 offset generator in a feedback routing to make an continuously changing pattern. Add a voltage controlled switch in the feedback path for adding a reset/start-position option.
