    Features

    • Sample and Hold with an 8-Bit Quantizer – Bagài features two stepped S&H circuits with open input (semi-normalled by default to an analog noise source). The quantized one has a LSB selector that defines its bit depth, from 1 to 8 bits
    • Random Triggers & Clock Bursts – Besides the well-known “main,” “more than,” and “less than” modes, Bagài also features a clock burst circuit that creates super fast and unpredictable streams of gates that you can combine with the main clock or to any other trigger you want.
    • Voltage-Controllable Bitcrusher – When used with audio signals, the 8-bit quantized S&H becomes a warm bitcrusher effect with voltage-controllable bit depth!
    • Dynamic Downsampler – Bagài’s internal clock can switch to an audio rate mode going up to 34 kHz. Patching audio signals into the S&H input will transform Bagài into an analog audio downsampler.
    • Open Signal Path – Lots of semi-normalled connections allow you to use Bagài in infinite ways: cross-patching has never been this fun.
    • Start and Stop Controls – You can control both the main clock and the clock bursts via external gates. The main clock also features a button to manually hold it.
    • Analog Noise – At Bagài’s core is a thermal noise generator that feeds the S&H circuit, creating random voltage streams. The noise output features a knob that changes its color, emphasizing the high or low frequencies.
    • Fluctuating Random Voltages and Global Rate of Change – The feature we all loved on Sapèl, now bipolar and with extended range.

It is our sound seasoning tool: it can gently even a patch, applying a final touch, or it can set it on fire with a ridiculous amount of spice. It’s up to you and your cooking style! CUNSA features four state-variable filters that can be used independently or linked and mixed. Each filter provides three behaviors simultaneously: lowpass, bandpass, and highpass. Each behavior has a 12 dB/oct slope, except for the lowpass, which can be either 12 or 24 dB/oct. CUNSA handles feedback and gain staging with extreme control and versatility. Besides the usual Q control that emphasizes the cutoff frequency, the Character circuit defines the amount of soft clipping when the filter overloads. High clipping guarantees a controlled behavior with fat tone and pure resonance, while low or no clipping lets the signal saturate the filter stages and make it scream.

High clipping guarantees a controlled behavior with fat tone and pure resonance, while low or no clipping lets the signal saturate the filter stages and make it scream.

    Each filter responds to the V/oct signal with excellent tracking. It is thus possible to move the cutoff frequency along with the main melody or make CUNSA resonate with no input and transform it into a multiple oscillator. The V/oct inputs are seminormalled so you can control more filters with the same CV. Easy chords stabs!

    The four filters can work independently or arranged in groups through seminormalled inputs and sum outputs. CUNSA can thus be a 4×1, 2×2, or a massive 1×4 filter. Even odd configurations are possible, like 1+2+1 or 3+1. Mono, stereo, or quadraphonic audio is at your fingertips.

    Four inputs have a cascaded seminormalization: audio inputs, VCA CV, V/oct, and Ping. Every signal patched to a filter will thus feed also those at its right, making simultaneous use even simpler. To remove a seminormalization, simply patch a dummy cable to the corresponding input.

    Every filter output can be routed to an analog mix bus that sums the four filters and outputs them in three combinations: all, 1+2, and 3+4. These outputs allow for versatile audio processing. Just like we did with FUMANA, we added a gentle shelving EQ for the higher frequencies of the All output to provide additional timbral variety.

The group “puts into practice” all the information defined by the channels’ controls: volume, effect send volume, stereo panning. It consists of three sections: the amplitude controls (white) and the two effect sends and returns (yellow and green). A switch lets you define the group outputs’ behavior: it can be either the sum of all the channels and their effect return or just the wet signal. The first option is great for smaller setups, where you can use the group as your system’s output without a master module. Should you have a master, the second option allows for more advanced effects parallel processing or multitrack recording.
