Radikal Technologies RT-311 Swarm Oscillator
Radikal Technologies RT-311 can store up to 8 memory setups with 8 snapshots each, saving all oscillator settings and memorizing them even after powering down your modular synth, and one highlight of this module is the opportunity to interpolate between these parameter snapshots. Interpolation can be controlled with an external control voltage or with a built-in LFO, and the speed of the internal LFO can be controlled with an external control voltage as well. The interpolator even has an external output to interpolate one parameter of an attached module.
Both oscillators can build 'swarms' of oscillator clones, with up to 16 oscillators running simultaneously at the highest setting. The detune knob changes the pitch of all oscillator clones between ultra-slow oscillator frequency beating effects and multiple frequency drones and chords. The swarm can be pitched in musical intervals, chords, clusters or fat detunes. The swarm tuning can also be stored into the snapshots, allowing you to build up to 8 different chords with different sound settings you can change while playing in a setup.
The scale inputs can also get quantized to musical scales, making it easy to control the swarm from a step sequencer. Simply select the root key with the tune knob and a pentatonic scale and turn the knobs of your sequencer for always-matching tonal sequences.
Both oscillator swarms have independent outputs. If one sets the exponential FM inputs depth to maximum, the inputs run with volt-per-octave scaling. The oscillator swarms can then be used like two independent synth voices.
