Synthetic Sound Labs Nurse Ratchet Module


Synthetic Sound Labs has released its new 1 MU width 1620 Nurse Ratchet module. They tell us that it is a trigger processor and generator, designed to add an organic chain of events (bursts) to your modular setup. Here's the details in their own words...

When activated, either manually or with an external trigger, the selected number of triggers are generated. Time Division, Distribution, Quantity, and Probability of the bursts are both manually and CV controllable.

Based on Befaco's popular Eurorack module "Burst" Produced in collaboration with Befaco and based on their excellent Eurorack "Burst" module.

With Nurse synced to your tempo, you can create all kinds of ratcheting effects, with divisions and multiplications leading to doubles, triplets, quintuplets, and true Poly Rhythms for your modular system.

With very short time windows, Nurse can help to synthesize fast repeating transients for "hand-clap like" sounds or modern drum hits.

Working in Cycle Mode, is also an excellent master clock with tap tempo functionality, and is able to achieve non-linear distributed clocks.
