-- 0.5.3 ----

- [NEWish] Cornrows X
- As complete implementation of Braids as possible
- so far not available features have been broken out as controls
(AD-envelope, bit crusher, scale quantizer, tuning)
or implemented as menu options (AUTO, VCA, FLAT, Paques)
- (i know Plaits is cooler now but this will get you quite far as synth voice)

- Riemann
- new layout
- left: inputs/controls
- P5/V M3/V continuous play head
- PLR-transform trigger inputs

- right: 12 outputs with mute/volume (pair with VCA)
- bottom: options
- constrain to scales
- mute/attenuate out-of-scale notes

- Snake
- implement persistency for buss
- clean up logic
-- 0.5.4 ----

- Etagère
- optional white panel (to better match cf modular mixer modules)

- SNS
- New generative modes:
- Fibonacci, Random, Linear
- change Fill to trigger generation of new pattern
- Turing output mode
- steps are interpreted as bits and converted to stepped voltage at the output.

NEW:

- Byte: Bytebeat module
- so far implements
- Cornrows X
- As complete implementation of Braids / macro oscillator as possible
- so far not available features in the Audible Instruments version
have been activated and broken out as controls:
AD-envelope, bit crusher, scale quantizer, tuning
- or implemented as menu options: AUTO, VCA, FLAT, Paques
- old Cornrows has been deactivated for now at the cost of 2HP more (lmk if you want it back)
- i know Plaits is cooler now but this will get you quite far as stand-alone synth voice

- transgressive module for your nihilistic no-input patches at the noise show

Southpole VCV Rack Modules 0.5.3
Southpole VCV Rack Modules 0.5.4

A personal collection of modules I've always wanted for my workflow.

Some of the modules are simply reskins of the existing Audible Instruments /
Arable Instruments VCV Rack versions of Mutable Instruments eurorack modules.

- The skins are inspired by hardware micro versions of various MI modules.
- Some skins are additonal modes of firmware with appropriate labels for knobs and ports to make usage easier.
- Some skins do not exist yet in hardware.

## New modules


### Ftagn: No Filter
- transgressive module for your nihilistic no-input patches at the noise show
- stereo - neither left nor right channel do anything at all

### Pulse: Pulse Generator
- main purpose is to convert triggers to gates
- clock through sends 1ms triggers - clean your clock
- range selectable (1s / 10s)
- when clocked, duration/delay are quantized to "musically relevant" intervals

### Rakes: Stereo Resonator
- inspired by the Ableton Resonator effect
- 6 stereo comb filters
- V/OCT inputs quantized to SEMI tones or FREE
- FINE detuning works with opposite sign on L/R channels
- small values produce Haas effect (stereo widening)
- individual GAINs
- best used together with a chord generator patched into the V/OCT inputs

### Riemann
- chord generator based on Neo-Riemannian Tonnetz analysis
- inspired by NE Tonnetz Sequent, Navichord app, o_C Automatonnetz (and my incapability to compose / improvise diatonic music)

- Up to 32 pads (silent steps)
- All inputs scaled to each other in what i think is a sensible way - great for LFO modulation of inputs
- CLK/RST thru for easy chaining
- Turing mode to translate pattern into CV a la Turing Machine

### Piste - Drum Processor
