Shipping info

delta^ is a polyphonic cv and clock generator.
Each one of this buttons is an independent tap-tempo with its own output.

1.the top 3 are CV outs;
2.the bottom 6 are gate outs;

Every tap tempo can have its own set of values for the following settings:

PHASE

The phase control will allow you to shift a clock phase from 0° up to 360°. This control is pretty useful when you are playing with synced tap tempos.

SHAPE

in the case of our top 3 taps:
The shape control will morph our tap-LFO waveform from ramp-down, to triangle, to ramp-up.

While for the lower 6 taps, the shape will control the PWM of your gate output.

DIVIDER/MULTIPLIER

This control will allow you to quickly access clock divisions or multiplications of the original tap tempo.
The time-out for your tap tempo read is 4.095 s, but through this control you can reach the slowest speed of 50 seconds and a maximum speed of 50ms (20 Hz).

CV CONTROL

delta^ has 3 CV inputs. One for each of the Tap-Tempo settings, and these CVs can be routed to our desired tap tempos.

EXTERNAL CLOCK

Delta^ offers as well the possibility to quantise your taps to an external clock source.
Like for the CV inputs, you can decide which one of the taps gets to follow your external clock.

GRAVITATIONAL MODE

This will let Taps interact between each other in the following mode: by pressing and holding our gravitational button you can activate the gravitational pull of specific taps.

This taps now will affect the surrounding taps (upper - lower - right - left).
The result of the gravitational pull is :

1.in the case of Gates: the surrounding taps will get XORed;
2.in the case of LFOs: the closest LFO will get cross modulated;

You can see how by changing the settings you can quickly change the result of the gravitational pull.

RANDOMISATION LAYER

The last feature of delta is randomisation layer that adds an offset value to our tap-tempo settings.
The encoders will act as a macro control over the amount of randomisation, and a short encoder press will generate a new set of values.
This function is non destructive, which means that you can easily get back to your original settings!
This is a very hands on function to quickly change your patch without the fear of losing your previous settings.

delta^ allows you to save and recall one preset.

//backlog/////

delta^ as time constant, this is my very first digital module, its a sequencer not really sequencer. It doesn't follow the 16 step dogma and doesn't really follow either what you tell him to do. He listens but he is independent, kinda, he only deals with rhythm. It's a collective of tap tempos that interacts between each other through boolean logic. Each column takes care of a gate output.

Anyway, i started this module because I wanted to give myself a coding project to work on. It is composed by a group of mechanical keyboard cherry MX switches (16), one rotary encoder, and some pots, just to give enough material to work and experiment on within the C environment.

The processor thats been assigned this infamous role is the ARM cortex M0, same one you can find on teensy LC, small, quite cheap, and powerful. There are 4 gate outputs, and 2 DAC outs, since i wanted to play with CV generation (mainly looping envelopes/LFOs).

I've been for a while quite bored of the classic 16 steps structure that sequencers have and wanted to have a rhythm generator that is only in part controllable.

The inspiration came to my mind after playing with a moog subharmonicon. Its sequencer create a huge variety of

rhythms by doing XOR logic between two 4 steps patterns. Exclusive OR logic means that when you compare "a" and "b" (we are talking about binary so only values admitted are 0 and 1) the result c will be 1 only when one or the other are high and never when they both are high or low.

European Union orders:

  • Standard shipping is free on orders over €100. Express shipping is available on orders over €100, and free on orders over €400.

Poland orders:

  • Standard shipping is free on orders over 250 PLN. Express shipping is free on orders over 500 PLN.

What about local taxes?

By default prices on the site include sales tax at 20%. The precise sales tax rate for your country will be calculated at checkout.

Do you ship to my country?

We ship to all EU member states from our warehouse in Warsaw, Poland. Add an item to your cart and enter your country and postcode to see the available shipping options and prices for your location. If you have any questions about shipping to your country, drop us an email at info@signalsounds.eu and we'll be happy to help.

Shipping methods

All EU orders are shipped via UPS. We offer two service levels:

  • UPS Standard – our default shipping option. Delivery times vary by country (see estimated delivery times below).
  • UPS Express Saver – next business day delivery to most EU destinations.

Each product page shows the estimated delivery time for your location, so you'll always know what to expect before you order.

Estimated delivery times (Standard shipping)

The times below are estimates in working days from dispatch, based on UPS Standard service. Express Saver delivers by the next business day to most destinations.

These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.

Dispatch times

Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.

If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Pre-orders

If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.

If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
