It is born of his desire to better improvise music on modular systems, and is the module he has often wished he had in his live performance cases. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is a pitch sequencer, a CV animator, an invisible pair of hands, and an LFO.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRANDOM8 is designed to bring any sized eurorack system to life, to squeeze the most out of users other modules, and help people perform and jam music more easily. It can provide subtle yet essential per-step CV modulation to an entire system, allowing phrases to play for longer without the ear tiring of them. It can also be configured to provide up to 8 quantised pitch generators (or any combination of pitch and modulation at the same time) and so drive a bank of oscillators and provide the melodies for a whole system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe module provides 8 independent stepped (or smooth) random voltage generators packed into as compact size as possible. Feed the inputs triggers, and with every trigger, you get random voltages at the red output sockets on that channel and below it. Users can insert additional triggers into lower-down channels to break the normalisation and create groups of voltages. There is an output attenuator for each channel controlled with a trim pot. By pressing a button, channels will toggle between looping – it will repeat the last 1-32 steps indefinitely – and evolving, where voltages in memory change slowly over time. If users like what they hear they can press again, and now that phrase is locked, till they press again. This makes capturing voltage loops into a single action that can be performed in a split second. To return to full randomness, double tap the channel button.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditional features are contained in 8 menus which are all one layer deep. We have taken great care to keep it simple and consistent to understand and use despite having no screen. Hold a labeled button for 1 second, let go. Lights confirm you are in the menu that corresponds to that label. Now turn any of the 8 dials to edit that menu setting for any or all 8 channels at once. Only the controls you interact with will change. Push any button to immediately exit the menu and return to looping and evolving. Users can, for example, add slide per-channel to turn these stepped voltages into complex smooth LFO shapes. More details below.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePresets can also be saved and recalled for quick access to different configurations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirmware can be updated in seconds with a USB-C cable \u0026amp; computer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe believe that RANDOM8 has the power to inject fun and surprise into even a massive eurorack system. It can act like a ‘cheat code’ to perform live more easily, by keeping settings animated and ever-changing so you focus on other parts of your system. It can also fit into the smallest cases, too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe idea for RANDOM8 was originally conceived when experimenting with native random and attenuator devices in VCV Rack.
