Mächtiger Signalprozessor fürs Eurorack

Percussa Super Signal Prozessor-Update

von Redaktion, 8. August 2018

Der äußerst leistungsfähige Signalprozessor SSP von Percussa ist das definitive Tool für alle Eurorack-Freaks mit Weltbeherrschungs-Phantasien.

Das digitale Super Signal Processor-Modul kann jetzt dank eines OS-Updates noch mehr. Der ca. 2000 $ teure SSP arbeitet mit einem Quad Core Processor (1.8 GHz) und kann u.a. als Sampler, Wavetable-Oszillator mit Morphing- und Cloud-Fähigkeiten, LFO, Comb-Filter, Waveshaper, Envelope Generator, Noise-Generator und Step-Sequenzer eingesetzt werden. Eigene Module lassen sich in C++ erstellen.

Hier die Features des Alleskönners:

8 outputs via high end AKM DAC with 32 bit resolution / 192kHz sample rate (AK4458)
16 inputs via high end AKM ADC with 32 bit resolution / 192kHz sample rate (AK5558)
Support for eurorack DC voltage level ranges on inputs and outputs (-5V to +5V)
Low-noise power supplies and op-amp stages, featuring 0.1% resistors
14 inputs via industrial ADCs or via AKM audio ADCs (see “status of project” section)
Support for eurorack DC voltage level range (-5V to +5V)
Quad core processor running at 1.8 GHz per core 32-bit SIMD and 64-bit floating point arithmetic
32-bit floating point ADC/DAC input / output
Capable of running multiple software modules in parallel on multiple cores
Supports recording audio inputs and outputs directly to SD card for instant wavetable / sample creation or recording of live performances without the need for external software
Supports loading your own WAV files into the Wavetable Oscillator and Sampler software modules, via the SD card (limited only by SD card size / RAM size)
Coarse and Fine frequency controls on all Oscillators
Comes with a set of 100+ pre-recorded samples / wavetables
Storage and Recall of Presets and Settings with the press of a button
