Unlock the limitless potential of sound exploration with the DIY Tides modular synthesizer. This innovative module reimagines the looping AD envelope generator, propelling it into new sonic dimensions. At its heart lies a digital asymmetric triangle function generator, which operates in AD, AR, and looping modes, making it versatile enough to serve as a VC-LFO or VC-DO. Whether you're shaping intricate envelope patterns or crafting unique audio textures, DIY Tides offers an unparalleled creative playground.

The module is equipped with a sophisticated wavetable waveshaper that transforms basic waveforms into linear, exponential, logarithmic, sinusoidal, or arc-sinusoidal shapes. Following this, a dual-stage processor applies either a smooth 2-pole low-pass filter or a dynamic wavefolder, adding distinct textures to your sound. With its design optimized for minimal aliasing at audio rates, DIY Tides can function as a standalone synth voice, offering a rich and varied tonal palette.

From its cycle mode selector to its range of inputs and CV controls for frequency, shape, slope, and smoothness, every aspect of DIY Tides is tailored for deep sonic manipulation. The module's unipolar and bipolar outputs provide unique character to your audio, with the latter offering a distinctive "bump" during the attack and release phases. Engage with a global community of musicians and discover how DIY Tides can elevate your modular setup to new heights.
