Two positions named Quasar 1 and Quasar 2 are available, which you can virtually place and move at any angle, height and distance around your head. Room reverb can be added as a further aid to distance perception. The audio signals at input 1 and input 2 can be flexibly routed to either or both positions via an internal matrix mixer. The coordinates of the positions can be set manually or be modulated by internal LFOs or external CVs. For example, you can have sounds orbiting around you, coming from above or below, front or back, and moving toward or away from you. Likewise, a center position is available as a routing destination that leaves the signal without sonic processing to create a dry\/wet mix.\u003cbr\u003eQuasar features two CV inputs which can be flexibly routed to any target inside the module. In fact, each CV can have up to four different targets, which enables a very flexible design of auditory 3D-scenes.\u003cbr\u003eInternal LFOs can be used to add dynamic movement and to create spectacular three-dimensional scenes. There are a variety of standard and advanced waveforms that can be routed to the position coordinates. LFOs can also be triggered and reset by external CVs.\u003cbr\u003eQuasar can add some reverb to the signal. While not being a reverberation module in the first place, Quasar's reverb can improve distance estimation, but also be used to create impressing ambient stereo soundscapes.\u003cbr\u003eAll inputs also have digital high and low pass filters, so you can decide which frequency bands go to which position. However, in addition to Quasar 1 or Quasar 2, you can also route the audio to the center position. The center position takes the input signal and distributes it equally to the left and right ears without further processing. For example, you can route the low frequencies to the center position and have the higher frequencies distributed to the outer positions Quasar 1 and Quasar 2. That way, the bass stays centered and mono-compatibility is preserved.\u003cbr\u003eAs soon as a three-dimensional virtual scene has been created, it can be saved to the module's preset list. That way, scenes can be recalled at any time. Quasar also features some factory presets as a starting point and to show off the module's capabilities.\u003cbr\u003eThe module works best with headphones, as the algorithm basically mimics the shape of the head and the pinnae, which are responsible for our directional hearing. But even if you play the sound through speakers, you will hear a significant difference from classic panning.\u003cbr\u003eAs spatial hearing is a psychoacoustic effect that everybody perceives in a slightly different way, Quasar offers several transfer functions for different ear types to choose from. This way, the intensity of the 3D effect can be adjusted to personal needs and fits with the processed audio signal.\u003cbr\u003eWith its large aluminum knobs, LED rings, rubber potentiometers and mechanically solid components, Quasar is fun to use and invites creative work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.neuzeit-instruments.com\/mediafiles\/Manuals\/Quasar_Manual_1_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eManual (english)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.neuzeit-instruments.com\/mediafiles\/Firmwares\/firmware_quasar_v1_10.ehex\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFirmware v1.10\u003cimg alt=\"screen-shot-2022-08-09-at-4.56.30-pm.jpg\" class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" height=\"1138\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4221\/9542\/files\/screen-shot-2022-08-09-at-4.56.30-pm.jpg?v=1784246342\" title=\"screen-shot-2022-08-09-at-4.56.30-pm.jpg\" width=\"2222\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NEUZEIT INSTRUMENTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51570000462102,"sku":null,"price":489.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4221\/9542\/files\/Quasar__81087.1660089477.1280.1280.jpg?v=1785722974"},{"product_id":"neuzeit-instruments-orbit","title":"NEUZEIT INSTRUMENTS Orbit","description":"\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent draw +12V:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e139 mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent draw -12V:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97 mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent draw +5V:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e** Includes 3mm screws and 16-Pin to 10-Pin eurorack power cable **\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake simple things sound rich!

Orbit is designed for audio signals, but envelopes or LFOs can also be processed as the inputs are DC-coupled. The input mixer uses VCAs so that the levels of IN1~ and IN2~ can be controlled by CV. For the CRSH section in particular, the input level is decisive for the timbre of the bitcrusher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2) BASS equalizer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BASS stage is a one-button EQ that boosts bass frequencies when turned to the right and cuts them when turned to the left.

The CRSH stage interprets the analog signal as a binary representation with 8 or 12 bits and outputs the downsampled signal as an analog signal. As a special feature, individual bits of the binary representation can be inverted or muted. This leads to subtle to drastic waveshaping and adds harmonics to the original signal, but these are always multiples of the fundamental frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sampling rate is determined by the RATE control and the CV modulation. The CV input RATE has its own potentiometer to multiply the incoming control signal by a positive or negative factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf SYNC is activated, the sampling rate is proportional to the determined fundamental frequency of the summed input signal. Thus the RATE parameter follows the pitch of the input signal. The RATE potentiometer and the CV input still have an effect on the sampling rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the four buttons MSB to LSB, individual bits of the binary representation of the audio signal can be muted or inverted. A blue button indicates that the bit is processed normally. A red button indicates that the bit is inverted. When the button's LED is dark, the corresponding bit is muted, i.e. it is always interpreted as zero and ignored. In terms of sound, this has a similar effect to inverting the bit, although this is not as drastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe affected bits can be changed via the secondary operating level of Orbit (which is accessed by holding down SYNC). In the standard setting, the four buttons of CRSH determine the interpretation of bits 1-4; in the alternative setting, buttons 1-4 influence bits 2, 3, 4 + 5 and 6 + 7 + 8. The alternative setting makes the Bitcrusher sound less harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full bit range is only used by CRSH if the input level of CRSH is high enough. In the secondary user layer of Orbit, the LED above the RATE potentiometer shows whether the input level of CRSH is maximally controlled (clipping). The LED lights up when the input of CRSH reaches or exceeds the maximum audio input level of the analog-to-digital converter of CRSH, which means that the full bit range of CRSH is used. Lower input levels mean that not all bits are used and the output of the bitcrusher sounds more edgy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e4) HARM oscillators\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HARM section can be used to add up to five oscillators to the audio signal, each oscillator having its own level potentiometer. This section allows you to create chords, noises, etc. from otherwise simple audio waves. The central component of HARM is the measurement of the fundamental frequency of the incoming audio signal. HARM contains five square wave oscillators. Three of them are set to fixed offsets of -12, 0 and +12 semitones relative to the measured frequency f0. Two further oscillators are set to ?f + 0 and ?f + 12 semitones, whereby ?f can be fine-tuned using a potentiometer in a range from -12 to +12 semitones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptionally, these two oscillators \u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"img-in-text\" data-cmp-info=\"9\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4221\/9542\/files\/sq1.svg?v=1784246340\"\u003e and \u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"img-in-text\" data-cmp-info=\"9\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4221\/9542\/files\/sq2.svg?v=1784246344\"\u003e can be permanently synchronized to rising zero crossings of the input signal.

When there is no input signal present, HARM's oscillators are turned off. HARM can thus be seen as an increase in the input signal. In fact, the shape of the input signals does not affect the output of HARM, instead zero crossings are used for the f0 calculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e5) VCF analog multimode filter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outputs of the CRSH, HARM and BASS stages are summed in a small mixer section with separate volume potentiometers before they are fed into the filter. The FLTR~ input can be used to feed an external signal directly to the filter additionally. The level control of the BASS stage output is marked with \"BLEED\", as it describes the leakage (bleed-through) of the clean signal. The mixer also allows the mixed signals to be amplified, which can overdrive the VCF, resulting in some analogue distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrbit's filter is a voltage-controlled 12-dB \/ oct and V \/ octave filter based on OTA, which outputs low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP) and band-pass (BP) at the same time. These can be activated with the corresponding buttons and can be used simultaneously. Low-pass and high-pass are activated with the same button, with the FADE potentiometer fading seamlessly between LP and HP. If FADE is on the far left, only the low pass is fed to the output of the filter and the further you turn to the right, more and more high pass is added. When FADE is in the center position, the LP and HP levels are the same. The FADE parameter can also be voltage controlled via the CV input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs is usual with VCFs, the cutoff frequency FRQ and the filter resonance RES can be set using a potentiometer. FRQ has two CV inputs FRQ and FM, with FM having an additional damping potentiometer to multiply the incoming CV by a positive or negative factor. If RES in is turned all the way to the right, the filter works in self-oscillation and outputs a fairly clean sine wave that can also be used as an oscillator. Orbit's integrated envelope generator and output VCAs are designed in such a way that the filter can also be used to create analog kick drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e6) ENV envelope and LFO generator\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrbit contains a 12-bit envelope with attack (ATT) and release\/decay (REL) control. Since the envelope is generated digitally, both very fast and extremely slow settings are possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree modes are available: In AD mode the envelope is triggered by a rising edge of the 5V gate signal at the TRIG input. The output signal rises linearly during the attack phase and falls exponentially during the decay phase. In AR (Attack Release) mode, the envelope remains at its maximum level until the gate signal drops back to 0V before entering the release phase. In FLW mode, the envelope follows the amplitude of the input signal, with ATT and REL determining how fast or slow the envelope follows. TRIG has no effect in FLW mode. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrbit's second level of control allows you to activate LFO modes for AD and AR mode, in which the envelope always retriggers itself. When LFO is activated, a rising edge at the TRIG input in AD mode resets the envelope's phase to 0V. In AR mode, the envelope remains active only as long as the input signal at TRIG is high. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eENV is internally routed to the cutoff frequency of the filter. The ENV control applies the envelope with a positive or negative factor to FRQ. Signal LEDs indicate the level of ENV and the direction and amount with which ENV is applied to the filter. Additionally, ENV is available at the corresponding output socket with a voltage level of 0-8V. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e7) OUT stage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output of Orbit consists of a mix of DRY and WET signals, where WET describes the output of the filter and the DRY signal denotes the unprocessed sum of IN1 ~ and IN2 ~. The levels of DRY and WET are set separately using the corresponding potentiometers. DRY and WET are designed as voltage-controlled amplifiers with a CV input so that the output mix can also be modulated via CV.

The heart of this instrument is its innovative hybrid engine that perfectly combines additive and wavetable synthesis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe WarpEx Expander adds polyphony and MPE support to Warp through MIDI and 4x CV \u0026amp; Gate. But even standalone Warp is already an impressive monophonic synthesizer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor all its feature-richness, Warp still remains a very playable and performance-oriented instrument. The large potentiometers serve as macro controls to control several internal parameters at once. This keeps the instrument easy to control with a clear number of controls, but all of them are very expressive. Likewise, Warp offers the ability to store and load any number of custom presets in addition to the factory presets. This makes Warp ideal for both detailed sound design in the studio and hands-on performance on stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarp provides access to the internal signal chain via an animated and easy-to-understand menu. The navigation is as intuitive as with our module \"Quasar\" and is easily done via a push encoder and a back button. The display shows which function the four large aluminum encoders currently have, and four colored LEDs next to the encoders provide visual assistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe module's pitch is adjusted via a separate detented encoder, which adjusts it either in fine steps, in semitones or in octaves. That way an octave switch is already integrated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarp's signal path takes place first in the frequency domain and later in the time domain, combining the best of additive and subtractive synthesis. Warp's large LED matrix, called GalaXY, is at the beginning of the chain, representing a pool of 32 x 16 overtone spectra. From there, each Voice draws its fundamental sound. Each of Warp's Voices has an XY coordinate in the GalaXY, and from that point scans the underlying overtone spectrum. Interpolation is applied between the individual overtone spectra, creating a smooth transition. The position can be modulated in two directions X and Y, similar to the scanning of waveforms in a wavetable synthesizer. This alone makes it possible to create a wide variety of sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, internal editors are available with which new overtone spectra can be drawn into the GalaXY in a playful manner. These can either be drawn manually or derived from audio samples. The GalaXY content can be saved and loaded from the SD-card, or simply taken from a preset.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn exciting feature is that the GalaXY can be exported to a wavetable file with any target format for other synthesizers. This also allows Warp to be used as an intuitive wavetable editor for other synths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the voice has obtained an overtone spectrum from GalaXY, a complex spectral filter is applied to the overtone spectrum, for which a variety of simple and complex filter shapes are available. The filter spectrum can be dynamically modulated in depth and stretching, but can also be turned into an overtone generator. The combination of GalaXY and spectral filter alone offers a variety of sound spectra that leaves little to be desired in the field of additive synthesis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe overtone spectrum formed by this is then converted into a wavetable in real time, to which in turn up to four effects are applied in parallel: Wavefolding, Time-Bend, Overdrive and Redux.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe resulting waveform now serves as the source for two oscillators that can interact with each other in different ways. Linear Detune, Oscillator Sync, AM, FM, Phase Distortion and Filtered Noise are available for selection. Effect depth, pitch and amplitude are available as parameters. The signal then passes through two filters, one of which serves as a high-pass filter and the other as a low-pass filter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe parameters in the signal path are accessible via an internal modulation matrix. Internal modulation sources (2 x ADSR, 2 x LFO, note key) or external sources can be used (OMNI CV input, MIDI CC, velocity, aftertouch). The numerous modulation destinations allow you to give free rein to your creativity in sound design. The matrix is also a clear representation to see at a glance how an existing sound is composed. The possibility to modulate many modulation destinations with up to 24,000 Hz is a special feature of this digital synthesizer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe module consists of high-quality and mechanically robust components, the back of the module and the expander are closed. Audio is output at 24 bit and 48 kHz, internally 32 bit and oversampling is used. On board is a precision voltage reference that allows Warp and WarpEx to calibrate themselves at the touch of a button.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded:\u003cbr\u003e- USB cable for firmware updates from computer\u003cbr\u003e- 16-pin-to-10-pin Eurorack power cable\u003cbr\u003e- 3 mm screws\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"media\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"download-manual-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neuzeit-instruments.com\/mediafiles\/Manuals\/Warp_Manual_v1_01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload the manual\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"download-manual-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neuzeit-instruments.com\/mediafiles\/Manuals\/Warp_Quickstart_v2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eQuickstart Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"panel-title\"\u003eFirmware Loader (Mac\/Win\/Linux)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pjrc.com\/teensy\/loader.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e Firmware Loader (Mac\/Win\/Linux)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"panel-title\"\u003eFirmware v1.02 \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSliders and filters show per-voice values also in Mono mode now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBug Fixes with some unusual SD cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.neuzeit-instruments.com\/mediafiles\/Firmwares\/firmware_warp_v1_02.ehex\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFirmware v1.02\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"panel-title\"\u003eSD-Card Content v1.0\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresets, audiofiles, necessary folders\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.neuzeit-instruments.com\/mediafiles\/Firmwares\/Warp_SD_Card_1_0.zip\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSD-Card Content v1.0\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NEUZEIT INSTRUMENTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51570014257430,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4221\/9542\/files\/warp_copy__79657.1698194000.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784247449"},{"product_id":"neuzeit-instruments-warpex-expander-for-warp","title":"NEUZEIT INSTRUMENTS WarpEx - Expander for Warp","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires the Warp main module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 4 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent draw +12V: 60mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent draw -12V: 10 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent draw +5V: 0 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: When connecting WarpEx for the first time to Warp, it is neccessary to do an auto-calibration.\u003cbr\u003eSettings \u0026gt; Calibration V\/Oct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMain functions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003eUse separate Gate + CV per voice or MIDI to play Warp as a 4-voice polyphonic synth Polyphony and MPE support unleash the full potential of Warp New MIDI modulation sources can be routed to all destinations in Warp’s modulation matrix: Velocity, Pitchbend, Aftertouch, Tilt \/ ModWheel CC Separate Trigger\/Gate (0-5 volts) and V\/Oct inputs (±8 volts) for each voice, can be used in parallel with MIDI MIDI In and MIDI Thru.

Due to its texture-rich character Warp is not only suitable for the modular-typical short bleeps and blops but also for long drawn sounds, chords and progressions. These are the best prerequisites for polyphonic playing with sequencer and keyboard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to classic MIDI, MPE is also supported, for which Warp is ideally suited, as there are so many unique parameters for changing the timbre. Warp's factory presets are already designed for MPE playability. Each note is transmitted on its own midi channel in MPE, so pitch bend is transmitted separately for each key pressed, as well as aftertouch and a CC (tilt) value. These are available in Warp's modulation matrix as separate sources and can be assigned to all destinations. This means that while holding down a key can increase the pressure and thus change the sound, but also that the position on which you touch the key has a further influence on the timbre. Some keyboards also support key tilt, which allows pitch and vibrato to be controlled for individual notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut WarpEx can also be used to control the voices individually via gate + CV, for example from a multi-track sequencer.
