Basimilus Iteritas Alter
Noise Engineering
Universal drum synthesizer with roots in the analog world
Basimilus Iteritas Alter is a 10HP parameterized digital drum synthesizer with its roots in the analog world. At its heart, it is a simple six-oscillator additive and FM synthesizer with waveform, harmonic spread, and decay controls. Adjustable attack with a noise oscillator is also included. These are summed and fed into a wavefolder for crunch and variety.
Size and power:
- 10 HP
- +12v: 150ma/80ma (if +5v on)
- -12v: 5ma
- +5v: 0ma/90ma (if +5v on)
Basimilus - small foundation - from Latin basos "foundation" with suffix -lus "small"
Iteritas - repetitiousness - from Latin itero "repeat" with suffix -tas "state of being"
Alter - alter - from Latin alter "another"
"another small foundation of repetitiousness"
