Schlappi Engineering has announced that The Nibbler, a new module for exploring the musicality of counting in binary, is now available to pre-order.
It is a CMOS-based four bit accumulator, which means it counts from 0 to 15 in binary and overflows above that. It has separate gate outputs for each of the bits, as well as two stepped analog voltages made from adding those bits together.
It also has inputs for each of the bits as well as shifting, resetting, and changing the direction of the counter.
It runs up to audio rates, where is useful for subharmonic and noise generation and down to LFO, rate where it can be used for arpeggio-like sequences and rhythm generation.
The Nibbler Overview Video:
Features:
5 rhythmically related gate outputs (or audio rate square waves)
2 stepped voltage outputs
Second stepped voltage has selectable phase offset
Cherry MX Brown switch for reset
4 gate inputs for modulation
Chainable using carry in and out
Reset input can be used as hard sync at audio rate
