Notes: EXP-FX, Il Sole e la Luna (eg. The Sun and the Moon) is an expansion module for Sibilla,
aiming to let you admire the same panorama under two different glows.

Depending on the Sibilla uploaded firmware, EXP-FX can either act as an actual Sibilla expander, giving you direct control on more Sibilla's parameters, or can turn your module into a stereo pitch shifting droning effect, allowing you to process your favourite oscillator the same way Sibilla processes its internal waveforms.

Every knob but the Line Gain is CV controllable and accepts i5V while the Freeze button can be activated with external triggers.

EXP, il Sole:
Everything regarding EXP is written with golden graphics on the module faceplate.
Expand your Sibilla by adding more control on the internal AR envelope and filter resonant
frequency. With the help of this firmware, Sibilla's controls stay untouched and the following

EXP commands are added:
ATTACK: sets the duration of the envelope attack stage. This is the time it takes for
the envelope level to go from zero to the maximum level when a gate signal is
received on Sibilla's trigger input. The duration is nearly zero with the knob fully
closed, and 5 seconds when the knob is fully clockwise.
RELEASE: sets the duration of the envelope release stage. This is the time it takes
for the envelope to go from its maximum level back to 0 after the gate is released
(max length is 5 seconds).
Q: sets the peak level of Sibilla's resonant LP filter (Resonance). When fully
counterclockwise, resonant peak will be rounded and become more apparent with
higher settings, depending on the harmonics created by Rise and Fall parameters of
Sibilla.

FX, la Luna
Everything regarding FX is written with white (black panel) or black (silver panel) graphics on the module faceplate.

With configurable eurorack/line stereo inputs, this firmware turns the whole duo (FX + Sibilla) into an intricate stereo pitch shifting delay droning effect. Splits your incoming sound in two separate pitch shifted tracks whose stereophony is affected by LFOs movements, white noise, delay lines and sampled bits of audio.

When installing this firmware, Sibilla's parameters perform the same functionalities as always, but applied to the incoming input audio signals:
RISE: pitch-shifts (from low to high pitch) the incoming sound on the left channel.
FALL: pitch-shifts (from high to low pitch) the incoming sound on the right channel.

As for Sibilla, the stereophony of these pitch-shifted tracks is affected by the movement of two free running LFOs with configurable waveforms and can be altered by a resonant LPF and the addition of a white noise source.

In addition, Sibilla's sampling delay network is now open and can be directly modified by the user:
BUFFER SIZE: controls the real time sampling window length. It's nearly 100ms
when the knob is fully closed and goes up to 1s with the knob fully clockwise.
FEEDBACK: controls the amount of sampled and pitch shifted audio sent back into
the sampler.
FREEZE: manually freezes the audio buffer to the last recorded bit of audio. While
frozen, the buffer size can still be modified.
GRAINS: sets the starting position of the audio bits to be recorded into the buffer
size (this feature still needs to be activated with a double tap on Sibilla's centre
button).

A small switch on the back of the module is used to shift between Eurorack and Line input signal. When Line inputs are configured, the Line Gain knob can be used to tame the incoming audio signal.

Width: 6HP Depth: 18mm

Material: 2mm anodised brushed aluminium front panel (black and silver)

Current draw: EXP-FX doesn't draw current directly from your system but relies on Sibilla's power; for this reason, depending on the uploaded firmware, Sibilla's power consumption will change as follows:
Sibilla + EXP: +12V: 140mA; -12V: 33mA; +5V: 0mA;
Sibilla + FX: +12V: 142mA; -12V: 35mA; +5V: 0mA;

Notes: The Garden Listener is a random control messages generator from biometric signals. It detects conductivity variations on living beings' surface and transforms them into MIDI notes, ranging from C-1 to C8, and CV signals (0 - 5V). Its behaviour can be tamed through the one-knob menu from which you can choose and modify:

probes' sensitivity (making it more or less sensitive to current variations);
scale (chromatic, major, minor, Indian and Arabic);
MIDI channel (from 1 up to 16);
LEDs' brightness.

Conductivity variations are detected by the Probes Input and converted into MIDI notes in real time according to the Main menu settings. Each MIDI note exits through the MIDI output, allowing you to take advantage of the sound of either any synthesizer equipped with a MIDI port or any VST in your DAW, and gets converted into an analogue signal.

Trigger and Gate are fired every time a new note is generated, their voltage output can be modified with the respective attenuator (0 - 5V).

All the MIDI notes are converted into variable voltages (0 - 5V) depending on their pitch and exit through the CV output (1V/oct).

The CV output behaviour can be modified via the Octave Selector which acts as a "CV equalizer" from which you can choose to generate CV only if the respective MIDI note lies within a certain octave range.

For once, leave those LFOs alone, and let any living conductive being modulate your signals.

The module comes with 3.5mm white probes and a set of snap-on adhesive reusable electrode pads. A MIDI-TRS type A adapter (not included) is required for the MIDI output.

The module requires calibration for a proper 1V/oct output.

Notes: The Pocket Garden Listener is a portable random control messages generator from biometric signals and it's meant to be the compact and desktop version of our Garden Listener eurorack module.

It detects conductivity variations on living beings' surface and transforms them into MIDI notes, ranging from C-1 to C8, and CV signals (0 - 5V).

Its behaviour can be tamed through the one-knob menu from which you can choose and modify:
probes' sensitivity (making it more or less sensitive to current variations)
scale (chromatic, major, minor, Indian and Arabic)
MIDI channel (1 - 16)
LEDs' brightness
USB powered

MIDI data are simultaneously transferred:
via USB, to control DAW plugins and sequences
via TRS, to control any other gear with a MIDI port

Equipped with Trigger, Gate and Control Voltage to control modular and semi-modular gear.

Conductivity variations are detected by the Probes Input and converted into MIDI notes in real time according to the Main menu settings. Each MIDI note exits through the MIDI output and the USB, allowing you to take advantage of the sound of either any synthesizer equipped with a MIDI port or any VST in your DAW, and gets converted into an analogue signal.

Trigger and Gate are fired every time a new note is generated (5V).

All the MIDI notes are converted into variable voltages (0 - 5V) depending on their pitch and exit through the CV output (1V/oct).

The Pocket Garden Listener comes with:
3.5mm white probes
1 set of snap-on adhesive reusable electrode pads
A MIDI-TRS type A adapter for the MIDI output (1m long)
A USB cable (micro type B to type A)
A small Torx-7 key for further calibration
The Pocket Garden Listener comes already calibrated for a proper 1V/oct output.

Notes: Sibilla is a DSP digital stereo oscillator that aims to translate into music the beauty and harshness of a semi-barren mountain. Its sound is sculpted by various saw and sine waves running through intricate delay networks, altered by LFOs, white noises and creating constructive and destructive interferences.

Both stereo channels are the output stages of two feedback audio loops.

Each loop is made up by a main sub sinusoidal wave oscillator and two saw and sine waves with frequencies affected by the generation of harmonics (right channel) and subharmonics (left channel). All waves have different phases whose offset is constantly affected by minor variations created by two pairs of grains randomly fluctuating within the waves amplitude spectrum and being sampled at a certain speed.

Waves then meet to each other to a common point, together with two white noise sources, creating constructive and destructive interferences constantly affected by two LFOs movements.

Interferences are then run into a resonant low pass filter and then distributed to four different delay lines from which they are fed back into the audio loops at different time intervals depending on the grain's movements.
