This module is Mutable Instruments’ unique take on the looping AD envelope generator – pushing this well-known trope to unknown territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of the module is a digital asymmetric triangle function generator, which can be used in AD and AR modes (for envelope generation), or looping (as a VC-LFO or VC-DO). The triangle generator is followed by a wavetable waveshaper providing linear, exponential, logarithmic, sinusoidal, or arc-sinusoidal shapes for the A and D segments. Then, a second processor applies either a 2-pole low-pass filter to the waveform, smoothing its sharp edges; or a rubbery wavefolder, adding kinks and “bounces” to the waveform. Because Tides has been designed from the ground up to work at audio rates with minimal aliasing, and because all its parameters are under voltage control, it can be used as a unique self-contained synth voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures, controls, I\/O\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCycle mode selector: single shot AD, single shot AR, looping (VC-LFO\/VCDO).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range selector: low (20 minutes to 5 Hz), medium (0.05 Hz to 300 Hz), high (8 Hz to 10kHz).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency control, with 1V\/Oct frequency CV input.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eExponential FM CV input, with attenuverter.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eShape control with CV input – covering various combinations of linear, exponential, or raised cosine segments.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSlope\/asymmetry (A\/D time ratio) control with CV input.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSmoothness control with CV input.
