Kermit is a 4-channel, programmable, tempo-synchronized supermodulator with morphing wavetable generator and internal modulation matrix. Four channels operate as LFOs, audio rate oscillators (with 1v/octave response on two channels), 1-shot envelopes, random voltage generators, or sample-and-holds, all responding to manual control, external control voltages, or synchronization to the module’s master tap tempo clock, with every parameter storable as presets. External CV inputs and an internal modulation matrix provide most synthesis control and voice functions in a self-contained, programmable package. Designed for maximum patching power in small systems, Kermit has an extremely high functionality-per-HP factor and fast, recallable operation dependable in live performance.
The module has a 16-bit DAC to accurately render subtle changes of voltage at extremely low frequencies. The audio oscillator mode is best suited for bass frequencies and has a fuzzy, aggressive character known from the previous version of Kermit. The waveform “character” processing further degenerates the quality of the signal along three axes of resolution all the way down to 8 bits/32 samples similar to the Konami SCC sound processing chip.. The tap tempo facility features an input jack and a manual button, and sets the global tempo of the module that individual channels can multiply or divide. The tempo is shown on the OLED display in BPM. The relevant units (hertz, seconds, volts, etc) or selected waveform of each channel are contextually shown on the display as the user programs the module.
