Intellijel Cylonix Shapeshifter

The Intellijel Cylonix Shapeshifter is an exciting and powerful module for use in Eurorack module systems. Cylonix and Intellijel have collaborated to produce a very sophisticated and deeply complex Wavetable VCO. At the core of this module is very powerful FPGA board that has been pushed to the absolute max of its capabilities and crammed full of features. Each VCO can select from 128 banks of wavetables , each with 8 individual 512-sample waveforms for a total of 1024 waves. Oscillator 1 can be operated in a CHORD mode, which runs 8 copies of the oscillator in parallel with adjustable detuning, leading to very fat, rich waveforms. The SHAPESHIFTER module also includes the analog wave folder circuitry from module to add analog warmth and metallic rasps to the digital oscillator output. External signals can also be patched in. The module includes a sophisticated pre-set mode where panel settings can be stored. There are 12 user-programmable pre-set slots and another 52 volatile slots that can be used as a scratchpad. These scratchpad slots are initialized to interesting pre-sets on module power-up. The capabilities of the pre-set mode is not limited to mere passive storage of settings, however. In this mode the user can also step through, or sequence, the settings, either in order or randomly in response to pulses input to the external sync input. There are many more factors and considerations to take into account with this module and any interested parties are encouraged to examine the user manual and demos found on the Intellijel website.
