uBurst

CalSynth's uBurst, Mutable Instruments' open source Clouds texture synthesizer in 8 HP, from Jakplugg's design: a granular audio processor recording its input into a buffer and playing it back as overlapping grains, shaped by POSITION, SIZE, PITCH, DENSITY and TEXTURE. Shipped with the Parasites firmware.

Key features

• Granular processing of a stereo input, with a BLEND knob for the dry/wet mix, stereo spread, feedback and reverb
• FREEZE stops the recording: the grains replay the frozen buffer
• Four LEDs: the input or output level, the quality setting or the BLEND parameter
• A write (load/save) button and a blend parameter/quality button
• CV inputs for POSITION, SIZE, PITCH (V/OCT), DENSITY, TEXTURE and BLEND, a TRIG input and a FREEZE gate
• Black or white PCB panel, the same print on both
