The Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter is a drum module for modular synthesizers in Eurorack format. BIA is based on an additive synthesizer with six digital oscillators with adjustable waveform, harmonic spread and decay. The attack phase is adjustable and a noise oscillator is also included. BIA offers three different synthesis modes, a wavefolder and the individual oscillators can be detuned against each other, creating a diverse drum sound palette. As a special feature, the module has its own parameter for "Harmonic", which determines how many oscillators arrive at the output and how long they sound. All parameters of the Basimilus Iteritas age, such as pitch, attack or decay, can be controlled via CV.
3x Different Synthesis Modes:
Skin works like an additive synthesizer simulating simple membrane drum sounds. The vibrations of the drum sounds do not interact with each other.
Liquid is similar to the first synthesis form Skin, but the generated sounds have a much more present and hard attack, as well as a pitch envelope.
Metal, on the other hand, is a kind of FM synthesizer that produces wicked metallic-atonal sounds. These are especially suitable for cymbals and hi hats.
The main features of the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter include:
Great all-around eurorack drum module with capable of synthesizing kick drums, snares and hi-hats, and even basslines. Has a slighlty aggressive sound nature.
