Unleash the raw, untamed energy of your modular synth setup with the BASTL Instruments Dark Matter Voltage Controlled Audio Feedback Module. This feedback sound processor invites you to explore the chaotic yet musical realms of controlled feedback, transforming your soundscape into an electrifying sonic adventure. With its powerful input amplifier, equipped with a VCA and adjustable overdrive, you have the tools to push your audio signal to the edge and beyond.

Featuring an internal envelope follower, the Dark Matter is designed to seamlessly integrate with your rig, normalizing to the crossfader and feedback CV input. Two-band equalization offers level and boost control with CV inputs per band, giving you precise tonal shaping abilities. The feedback section, complete with level control, CV input with an attenuator, polarity switch, and external signal input, provides a playground for creating dynamic and evolving sound textures.

The crossfader, with CV input, allows for smooth transitions and creative modulation possibilities. Separate outputs for the crossfader, envelope follower, and feedback provide flexibility and expansive routing options, making the Dark Matter a vital component for any experimental sound architect.
