Unleashing Creativity with ALM Busy Circuits Tyso Daiko: Dual 12-bit Digital Wavetable Drum Voice
The ALM Busy Circuits Tyso Daiko is a dual 12-bit digital wavetable drum voice module that offers a wide range of sounds with full voltage control and an analog EQ output path. This module features two independent voices that share pitch, envelope, and other parameters of a swept wavetable oscillator. One of the voices is output through a voltage-controlled analog tilt EQ, while the other voice is output through a digital wavefolder that adds increasing timbre complexity reaching noise. The module offers full voltage control, including a V/Oct pitch input, and both voices respond independently to an accent input. Additionally, the first voice can be 'choked,' and a surface control allows for fine control of additional transients. The Tyso Daiko is a fun, expressive and versatile drum module with plenty of modulation possibilities and an extremely wide pallet of sounds. It succeeds the original Dinky with the same spirit but much improved control, new features, and new wavetables.

The Takaab RLFO module by Siam Modular is a versatile modulation and control voltage generator. It features a built-in LFO, sample & hold, and noise circuits, making it capable of producing random, stepped, and gradual control voltages. The LFO has two outputs, square and triangle, and is internally normalized to the clock input of the sample & hold. The noise is also normalized to the signal input of the sample & hold, which allows it to output a random, stepped voltage without external patching. The RLFO can also sample any external signal and use external clock, gate, or trigger signals to trigger the sample points of the sample & hold. With its slew circuit on the output, the module can produce more gradual or wobbly control voltages.
