Wow… real life issues; bug chasing; ui tweaking; manual writing… it certainly took a while; but Sanguine Mutants 2.4.0 has been released!
New Modules
Fluctus
Create hypnotic beats with a module based on the Kammerl Beat-Repeat firmware for Clouds.
Incurvationes
Twist your sound in every way imaginable with this module based on MI’s Warps; make your frequencies go wild with the now enabled Frequency Shifter “Easter egg”. Miss the original big knob light colors? They’re back!
Distortiones
Delay, wave shape, generate and add Doppler to your sounds with this module based on the Parasite firmware for MI’s Warps.
Have as many copies as you want! This version won’t crash Rack; doesn’t need separate modules for some modes; doesn’t disable anything, and doesn’t interfere with other copies: want 50 separate delays? Sure, here you go!
Mutuus
Fresh out of the labs, have some crazy reverbs, perhaps an stereo dual filter, or the Ensemble effect from Funes’ String Machine in this module based on the Symbiote firmware for Warps.
Explorator
Multiply, mix, invert, rectify, separate and sample your signals!
Links and Kinks get along so well… we fused them! While we were splicing them… we thought they should be completely polyphonic… so now the Kinks section doesn’t feel left out and enjoys the sweet, sweet ability to handle up to 16 channels.
Miss the 3:1 section being an averager? It regained that ability, that you can control: just enable it by pressing the “HW” button!
Marmora
Such a wonderful mystery machine! Control the t Generator, the X Generator, the Y Generator…
Based on the last firmware for MI’s Marbles, it exposes every control and adds missing features like super locks for t and X; t and X manual resets; restores missing light animations; output LEDs change color according to signal polarity, and, perhaps of most interest to a lot of users… it adds the ability to create and use custom scales.
Custom scales are saved in patches and presets, so your hard work is never lost.
Make sure to read the manual to figure out how to add your personal scales (it’s easy!) and how the Steps knob affects them.
Anuli
Bang on a plethora of materials with Anuli!
Based on MI’s Rings, it restores missing light animations; the “3” polyphony mode… and, due to popular demand, now it is completely polyphonic.
16 channels of Anuli into Nimbus!
Velamina
You want more VCAs in a compact package you say? Heeeeere’s… Velamania!
My attempt to recreate Veils… the 2020 version. It is polyphonic and saturates outputs beyond +/-10V.
Additions to existing modules
-
Ever wanted a polyphonic version of Braids? (I know some of you did! :P) It’s yours! Nodi and Contextus are now polyphonic.
-
More hardware-like LED behavior for Nebulae and its descendants.
-
More hardware-like LED behavior for Funes.
-
Added frequency mode (range) to Funes faceplate.
-
Faceplates now sport some familiar markings for certain modules
-
Modules are less shy in the browser and show their displays and custom lights turned on when peeked at.
-
Funes has certain modes that only need to be excited by a trigger, so polyphonic channel count can also be set by the trigger input.
-
Nicer context menus for mode selection (for certain modules and modes).
Changes
-
Different alternative firmwares use different face plate colors.
-
Mortuus’ ByteBeats equation 6 regained some of its complexity (don’t expect a lot out of this, sorry :().
Bugs squashed!
- Stop Funes throat singing when the trigger input is patched; VOWLSPCH is selected, and the first trigger hasn’t been received.
For those who love reading… a 134 page manual awaits you.
No tales, though, the manual is big enough
