delta^ is a polyphonic cv and clock generator.
Each one of this buttons is an independent tap-tempo with its own output.
1.the top 3 are CV outs;
2.the bottom 6 are gate outs;
Every tap tempo can have its own set of values for the following settings:
PHASE
The phase control will allow you to shift a clock phase from 0° up to 360°. This control is pretty useful when you are playing with synced tap tempos.
SHAPE
in the case of our top 3 taps:
The shape control will morph our tap-LFO waveform from ramp-down, to triangle, to ramp-up.
While for the lower 6 taps, the shape will control the PWM of your gate output.
DIVIDER/MULTIPLIER
This control will allow you to quickly access clock divisions or multiplications of the original tap tempo.
The time-out for your tap tempo read is 4.095 s, but through this control you can reach the slowest speed of 50 seconds and a maximum speed of 50ms (20 Hz).
CV CONTROL
delta^ has 3 CV inputs. One for each of the Tap-Tempo settings, and these CVs can be routed to our desired tap tempos.
EXTERNAL CLOCK
Delta^ offers as well the possibility to quantise your taps to an external clock source.
Like for the CV inputs, you can decide which one of the taps gets to follow your external clock.
GRAVITATIONAL MODE
This will let Taps interact between each other in the following mode: by pressing and holding our gravitational button you can activate the gravitational pull of specific taps.
This taps now will affect the surrounding taps (upper - lower - right - left).
The result of the gravitational pull is :
1.in the case of Gates: the surrounding taps will get XORed;
2.in the case of LFOs: the closest LFO will get cross modulated;
You can see how by changing the settings you can quickly change the result of the gravitational pull.
RANDOMISATION LAYER
The last feature of delta is randomisation layer that adds an offset value to our tap-tempo settings.
The encoders will act as a macro control over the amount of randomisation, and a short encoder press will generate a new set of values.
This function is non destructive, which means that you can easily get back to your original settings!
This is a very hands on function to quickly change your patch without the fear of losing your previous settings.
delta^ allows you to save and recall one preset.
//backlog/////
delta^ as time constant, this is my very first digital module, its a sequencer not really sequencer. It doesn't follow the 16 step dogma and doesn't really follow either what you tell him to do. He listens but he is independent, kinda, he only deals with rhythm. It's a collective of tap tempos that interacts between each other through boolean logic. Each column takes care of a gate output.
Anyway, i started this module because I wanted to give myself a coding project to work on. It is composed by a group of mechanical keyboard cherry MX switches (16), one rotary encoder, and some pots, just to give enough material to work and experiment on within the C environment.
The processor thats been assigned this infamous role is the ARM cortex M0, same one you can find on teensy LC, small, quite cheap, and powerful. There are 4 gate outputs, and 2 DAC outs, since i wanted to play with CV generation (mainly looping envelopes/LFOs).
I've been for a while quite bored of the classic 16 steps structure that sequencers have and wanted to have a rhythm generator that is only in part controllable.
The inspiration came to my mind after playing with a moog subharmonicon. Its sequencer create a huge variety of
rhythms by doing XOR logic between two 4 steps patterns. Exclusive OR logic means that when you compare "a" and "b" (we are talking about binary so only values admitted are 0 and 1) the result c will be 1 only when one or the other are high and never when they both are high or low.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
