4MS Pingable Envelope Generator, $269!
The 4MS Pingable Envelope Generator (PEG) is a versatile and unique module designed for Eurorack modular systems. It generates complex envelopes that are “pingable,” meaning they synchronize with an external clock or pulse, allowing for rhythmic envelope modulation that adapts to your music’s timing. With its wide range of features, the PEG is ideal for creating dynamic, tempo-synced modulations, offering a powerful tool for both rhythmic and evolving modulation patterns in any modular setup.
KEY FEATURES:
Pingable Envelopes: The PEG is designed around the concept of “pinging” an envelope generator with an external clock or trigger signal, allowing the envelopes to automatically sync to the timing of your modular system. This makes it easy to create tempo-synced modulation without complex calculations.
Dual Envelope Channels: The PEG features two independent envelope channels, each of which can be pinged separately or in unison. This allows for the creation of complex, multi-layered modulations that are synced to different or the same time divisions.
Adjustable Envelope Shapes: Each channel has a control for adjusting the shape of the envelope, from exponential to logarithmic curves, giving users the ability to create snappy, percussive envelopes or slow, evolving modulations.
Division and Multiplication: The PEG allows users to divide or multiply the ping signal, making it easy to create rhythmic modulations that are faster or slower than the incoming clock. This is perfect for creating polyrhythms or syncopated modulation patterns.
Cycle Mode: Each channel can be set to loop, turning the PEG into a pair of tempo-synced LFOs. This opens up even more creative possibilities for modulating filters, oscillators, or any other module in your system with rhythmic precision.
CV Control: Both envelope channels feature extensive CV control over parameters such as envelope shape, timing, and ping division, allowing for dynamic, real-time modulation that can interact with other modules in complex ways.
SOUND PROFILE:
Dynamic and Rhythmic Modulation: The PEG excels at generating rhythmic envelopes that can sync perfectly to the timing of your patch, whether you’re modulating filter cutoff, amplitude, or any other parameter. Its pingable nature ensures that the modulation stays locked to the beat, making it perfect for rhythmic patches.
Complex Modulation Shapes: With its adjustable envelope curves and CV inputs, the PEG can create a wide range of modulation shapes, from sharp, percussive attacks to smooth, evolving swells. The ability to modulate the envelope shape in real time allows for dynamic sound-shaping possibilities.
Evolving Rhythms: When used in cycle mode, the PEG becomes a powerful tool for creating evolving, rhythmic modulations that can drive patterns and sequences within a modular system.
APPLICATIONS:
Tempo-Synced Modulation: The PEG is perfect for musicians who want to create modulation that is locked to the tempo of their music. Whether modulating filter sweeps, amplitude, or any other parameter, the PEG ensures that the modulation stays rhythmically consistent.
Live Performance: With its ability to sync envelopes to an external clock, the PEG is a powerful tool for live performance, allowing users to create dynamic, evolving modulations that remain in time with the rest of the music.
Polyrhythmic Modulation: The ability to divide and multiply the ping signal allows the PEG to generate complex, polyrhythmic modulations, making it ideal for creating syncopated effects and shifting rhythmic patterns.
BUILD QUALITY AND AESTHETIC:
Compact and Durable: The PEG is designed to fit comfortably in any Eurorack setup, with a compact design that doesn’t take up excessive rack space. Built with high-quality components, it’s a reliable module that can withstand the rigors of live performance and regular studio use.
User-Friendly Interface: The clear layout of the PEG makes it easy to navigate, with intuitive controls for adjusting envelope shapes and timings. The module’s inputs and outputs are clearly labeled, making patching straightforward even in complex setups.
COLLECTIBILITY AND MARKET VALUE:
The 4MS Pingable Envelope Generator is highly respected within the Eurorack community for its unique approach to envelope generation and its ability to sync modulation to external clocks. While it is not a limited-edition module, its combination of rhythmic flexibility and dynamic envelope shaping has made it a popular choice for musicians who want more control over their modulation timing. The PEG retains its value well on the used market due to its versatility and solid build quality, making it a staple in many modular synth setups.
