Ratcheting Envelope Generator And More

US The Qu-Bit Cascade is now shipping 02/03/21

Qu-Bit Electronix tells us that their Cascade is a ratcheting envelope generator, VCA, and sound source all within a compact form factor. They say that the unique interactions of its feature set open up new worlds of rhythmic patching and modulation.

A spokesperson told us, "Easily create ratcheting sequences, bouncy-ball modulation, and pumping compression, all within a single module. At its core, Cascade is a powerful envelope generator, which is normaled to a high fidelity 2164 based VCA. You can patch in external audio to the VCA, or take advantage of 4 internal audio algorithms: white noise, 808 kick and hi-hat, and a high frequency sine tone. Cascade will open up your system in ways that make you wonder how you ever lived without it."

Features:

Envelope output and internal audio generated at 96kHz
High fidelity 2164 based analog VCA topology
Analog signal path with digital control for envelope following, compression, and classic VCA behaviors
Snappy envelopes all the way down to 500 microseconds in length
Reprogrammable via the Daisy ecosystem
