Description

Introducing the Bela Gliss, a compact yet powerful tool for any modular synthesizer enthusiast. This 4 HP Eurorack module brings the world of gestural control to your fingertips. Its high-resolution touch sensor allows you to explore and manipulate sounds in ways you never thought possible. By capturing both the position and size of your touch, Gliss offers two CV outputs that introduce a new dimension of control to your setup.

Imagine recording up to 75 seconds of your gestures, looping them, and integrating them into your performance with precision. Whether you are crafting custom LFOs, envelopes, or oscillators, Gliss is your gateway to real-time modulation creativity. The module’s illuminated faceplate, with 23 addressable RGB LEDs, not only provides visual feedback but also enhances your interaction with both internal and external signals. This makes Gliss not just a control surface, but a dynamic visual tool that enriches your modular experience.

But Gliss doesn't stop there. It features a tuneable five-key keyboard, glissando and vibrato functionalities, a five-step sequencer, and a range of other features like waveshaping and wavetable synthesis. As an open-source module, it invites you to hack and customize to your heart's content, providing endless opportunities for innovation.

  • Capacitive touch sensor with sub-millimeter accuracy
  • STM32 Cortex-M4F microcontroller
  • 23 addressable RGB LEDs for visual feedback

Bela Gliss

soundonsound.com

Bela's Gliss module is a marvel of innovation, packing a capacitive touch sensor with sub-millimetre precision into a sleek 4HP Eurorack format. Its standout feature is a versatile strip that supports multiple modes—from Control to Record, each unlocking unique expressive possibilities. The Record mode even lets you create custom waveforms, showcasing its unparalleled flexibility. While the abstract color-based menu might require some manual referencing, the open-source nature invites customization and creativity. Though it's pricier than alternatives like the LS1 Lightstrip, Gliss offers a depth of functionality that justifies its cost. A must-have for modular enthusiasts.
