Cadence is a 4 oscillator, square wave generator. It can perform several different functions.

Cadence can be used as a drone synth/rhythmic drone synthesizer using the 4 onboard oscillators. Each is run through a “count” control that acts as a divider before passing through several logic gates and then into the, CV controlled, low pass filter before the main output. Oscillators can be synced to create more interesting timbres.

Each oscillator can be routed to it’s own individual, or grouped, output bypassing the filter for separate processing. At low frequency rates (using count) these individual outputs can be used as gates for external/modular equipment (creating interesting beats/clock signals/envelope triggers etc) but will also reset/sync the synth’s other oscillators at the same time.

The external inputs can accept different signals. These inputs, when connected, replace the relative oscillator with the incoming signal, again, sending this signal through “count” before the output section. You can connect gates, to reset and sync the onboard oscillators to create interesting gated drones and rhythms. Audio signals can also be input here and the onboard oscillators used to change the incoming sounds “cadence”.

Each oscillator’s pitch will also react to light when the LDR is switched on.
