Expert Sleepers Aloysius: Analog Trapezoid Powerhouse
Aloysius is a characterful function generator that recreates the distinctive AHDW (Attack/Hold/Decay/Wait) envelope popularized by vintage British synthesizers.By adding a "Wait" stage to the traditional envelope cycle, it allows for rhythmic gaps in modulation that are perfect for sparse, pulsing textures.When set to Auto-mode, it becomes a versatile analog LFO where every stage can be manipulated via external CV.Because the circuit is entirely analog with discrete logic, the response is instantaneous and smooth, making it a "must-have" for users who value organic, non-quantized modulation.
Key Features:
Classic Trapezoid Configuration: Authentic AHDW stages for unique envelope shaping.
Independent Shape Control: Continuously variable Attack and Decay curves (Exponential to Logarithmic).
Self-Oscillation Mode: Transforms into a complex LFO with the flick of a switch.
Comprehensive CV I/O: Dedicated CV inputs for every envelope stage.
Discrete Analog Design: No microcontrollers or digital artifacts for a pure sonic path.
Technical Specifications:
Width: 8HP.
Depth: 42mm.
Current Draw: +43mA (+12V), -25mA (-12V).
Format: Eurorack (3U).
