The Afterneath Eurorack Module brings the Otherworldly sounds from the effects pedal world right into your modular synthesizer with an expanded feature set. The Afterneath module features one main audio input, one main audio output, an audio send and return for the Reflect feedback path, and nine controls. Four of the parameters are controllable via CV, and each has been equipped with a dedicated inverting attenuator to process the incoming CV. The Afterneath module has a completely analog dry signal path and a totally digital wet signal path.
Self-Oscillation
It is normal for the Afterneath Module to self-oscillate when using higher settings of theLengthandReflectcontrolsespecially when both controls are set above the 12 oclock position. When you combine the self-oscillation with CV control over theDragparameter you have an interesting voltage controlled oscillator. Modes 3-9 will allow the self-oscillation to track volt/octave scaling. When using an external control voltage, theDragknob acts as an offset control for the incoming voltage. Due to the nature of the effect, theDragparameter responds to only positive voltages between 1.6 and 4.1 volts. When using a voltage between 0 and 1.6 volts, you can turn theDragknob clockwise to offset the incoming voltage to the response range. Please note that bipolar signals may need additional offset voltage from an external source to bring the entire control signal within the response range.
Keep in mind that the Afterneath is not intended to be a precision oscillator. When self-oscillating, its pitch is mostly based upon the note that is played into it. While feeding back, the original note will transform through various harmonic and enharmonic frequencies, depending on the levels of theLength,ReflectandDampencontrols. Careful adjustment of theLengthandReflectcontrols can allow you to sustain sounds in the buffer for longer periods of time without it becoming unstable.
