It is a parameterized digital voice with analog roots, built for modular users who want kicks, snares, hats and unusual percussion from one module. It can also play basslines and leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree algorithms:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Skin\/Liquid\/Metal switch selects six-oscillator additive synthesis, additive with a pitch envelope, or two 3-operator phase-modulated oscillators for metallic and noisy tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep tone shaping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morph sweeps the waveform through sine, triangle, saw and square, and Spread moves the oscillator spacing from harmonic to strongly inharmonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfinifold wavefolder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fold sets the fold threshold, and the top of its range blends in a pulse train for extra harmonics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull CV control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Decay, Attack, Morph, Fold, Harmonic and Spread each have a CV input, with the knob acting as offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnvelope output and pitch encoder:\u003c\/strong\u003e send the internal envelope elsewhere in the patch, and tune in semitones or fine steps with 1V\/octave tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlia platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e swap to other Alia firmwares for free over USB through Noise Engineering's Customer Portal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Harmonic control sets how quickly the upper harmonics decay. Fully counterclockwise it leaves a single oscillator, close to a simple analog bass drum, and turning it up brings in more partials for snares, toms and tonal hits. Attack covers a lot of ground: left of centre it adds noise to the transient, at centre it gives an analog-style pop, and to the right it slows the attack for softer, swelling sounds. With external CV on the pitch and timbre inputs, one module can stand in for a whole kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with the original Basimilus Iteritas Alter, the Alia version sounds and works almost the same. It adds the envelope output, uses an encoder for pitch instead of a potentiometer, and accepts pitch CV from -2 V to +5 V. Because it runs on the Alia hardware platform, the module can be reflashed in about a minute with a WebUSB browser such as Chrome, Edge or Opera. The other firmwares include Ataraxic, Cursus, Debel, Incus, Manis and Toros Iteritas Alia, so the same hardware can become a different voice when a patch needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noise Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55756392956243,"sku":"NE-BIAA-BL","price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/4052\/1299\/files\/basimilus-iteritas-alia-black-1024x2048_dc06e775-12bd-4f75-9238-fd15fdc6ac93.png?v=1793965179","url":"https:\/\/www.voltmusicstore.com\/products\/noise-engineering-basimilis-iteritas-alia","provider":"Volt Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
