The SHAPESHIFTER is a dual digital voltage controlled wavetable-based oscillator in a 26-HP Eurorack format.
The wavetables consists of 128 banks, each with 8 individual 512-sample waveforms, for a total of 1024 waves. The
choice of waveform within the currently selected bank is under voltage control. There is smooth interpolaon between
the waveforms within a bank, allowing a very wide range of dierent possible waveshapes. Oscillator 1 can be oper-
ated in a CHORD mode, which runs 8 copies of the oscillator in parallel with adjustable detuning, leading to very fat, rich
waveforms. The oscillators have extensive modulaon capabilies including audio rate (98KHz) Frequency and Phase
Modulaon (FM and PM) via external sources. Nonlinear combinaon processes allow the outputs of the two oscillators
to interact to generate complex mbres and sonic textures. The SHAPESHIFTER module also includes the analog wave
folder circuitry from the intellijel mFold II module to add analog warmth and metallic rasps to the digital output.
The module includes a sophiscated preset mode where panel sengs can be stored. There are 100 user-prgrammable
preset memory slots. The capabilies of the preset mode is not limited to mere passive storage of sengs, however. In
this mode the user can also step through, or sequence, the sengs, either in order or randomly in response to pulses
input to the external sync input. This gives the user the ability to generate complex sequences of sounds. The preset
mode also allows the user to morph between the current panel sengs and a preset providing a very powerful real-me
performance tool.
But, there is one more thing ... the SHAPESHIFTER also includes a 64-band vocoder!
