Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter

Universal drum synthesizer with roots in the analog world

Basimilus Iteritas Alter is a 10HP parameterized digital drum synthesizer with its roots in the analog world. At its heart, it is a simple six-oscillator additive and FM synthesizer with waveform, harmonic spread, and decay controls. Adjustable attack with a noise oscillator is also included. These are summed and fed into a wavefolder for crunch and variety.  

Size and power:

• 10 HP

• +12v: 150ma/80ma (if +5v on)

• -12v: 5ma

• +5v: 0ma/90ma (if +5v on)
