Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter Silver is a drum module for modular synthesizers in Eurorack format. BIA is based on an additive synthesizerwith six digital oscillators with adjustable waveform, harmonic spread and decay. The AttackPhase 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 output and how long they sound. All parameters of the Basimilus Iteritas Alter, like pitch, attack or decay, can be controlled via CV.
Three 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 mode 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 type of FM synthesizer that produces wacky metallic-atonal sounds. These are particularly well suited for cymbals and hi-hats.
The Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter Silver:
The BIA is almost to be seen as a staple in Eurorack. It's one of those modules that can't sound bad. From tight kicks to raw punching bouncy basslines it delivers a clean distinkt sound.
When it comes to snares, hats and similar you can get tight, clean or splashy sounds ringing out. Tweak a little more and you get noisy FM madness and crunch.
Used for basslines you can also get it fat, rich and clean. And other days you can tweak it to supersaw heaven if you have gentle hands.
Funny thing is that many times I use it for both kick, snare and hats in the same patch. It responds superbly to quick changing cv-input.
All in all a great module no matter what kind of music you produce.
