Helical is a 16-tone polyphonic synthesizer composed of Autoregressive Algorithmic Synthesizer.
Autoregressive synthesis continues to create endless new phrases and sounds.
Each oscillator has a sequencer, Wavetabble oscillator, envelope generator and VCA, which are independent for each oscillator.By writing to the SD card on the front of the panel, the user can change the scale and LED color with a dedicated editor, and the Wavetable can also be changed freely.
Autoregressive synthesis is an original method that has algorithms that refer to past states to determine the next parameter. In Helical, the past pitch (pitch) of each oscillator determines the duration (note value) of the next note, and the past note value influences the next note pitch.By being helically influenced from the past, it produces a natural sound that is different from completely random.
At the end of the envelope, calculate a new pitch and duration.
The autoregressive progression produces the envelope and pitch flow shown above.
Helical is designed with the purpose of exploring new rhythms that are not the concept of existing musical rhythms (determining note value from BPM).
One of the key controls in patching is the Poly control , which specifies the number of voices . When set to the minimum, it mutes all voices (0), so by inputting CVs or gates here while keeping it at the minimum, the voices will be sounded at those timings, allowing for a wide range of gating possibilities.
of Synthesis TechnologyWave Editcan be used to create your own wavetable presets.
Rename the exported wav file to buf_wt.wav and write it to the SD card.
