Description
Myriad is an oscillator designed for the creation of big, complex, dynamic sounds. At the heart of Myriad, nine oscillator models mix, detune and intermodulate together to create complexity, motion and stereo width. Meta-modulation algorithms add more life and movement. Analog waveshaping and overdrive circuits distort and modulate the tone of the oscillators. Five CV inputs give you flexible control options.
Myriad has two sets of stereo outputs. The first set is the clean signal, taken from the signal chain before the waveshaping and overdrive section. The second set is the shaped outputs that result from the waveshaping and overdrive. In each set, the nine oscillators are split, sending four to the left and five to the right channels. If you plug into a left channel only, then you receive a mono sum of all nine oscillators. If you patch into the corresponding right channel, then this splits the oscillators across the two channels. It’s possible to use all of channels or a mixture of clean and shaped at the same time.
