Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter

Universal drum synthesizer with roots in the analog world

Basimilus Iteritas Alter is a 10HP parameterized digital drum synthesizer with its roots in the analog world. At its heart, it is a simple six-oscillator additive and FM synthesizer with waveform, harmonic spread, and decay controls. Adjustable attack with a noise oscillator is also included. These are summed and fed into a wavefolder for crunch and variety.
