16-algorithm stereo FX processor with Meta CV scanning

6 HP Eurorack module

Milky Way is a 16-algorithm stereo effect processor in 6HP (3U) or 22HP (1U) format, featuring two banks of 8 effects each covering reverbs, delays, modulation, dynamics, and distortion. It includes Meta FX CV scanning across all algorithms, a built-in VCA with saturation, spatial panning/crossfade mode, and extensive CV control, making it a deeply musical and performance-oriented effects hub for Eurorack.

Features

  • 16 stereo FX algorithms across 2 banks of 8 effects each
  • Airways Bank: Hall, Shimmer, Stereo Room, Plate, Spring Reverb, Ping-Pong Delay, Tape Echo, Chorus
  • Darkwaves Bank: Gated Reverb, Spring Reverb, Reversed Reverb, Flanger, Ring Modulator, Overdrive, Peak Compressor, Freezer/Looper
  • Meta FX mode: scan all 16 algorithms via external CV (-5V to +5V)
  • FX parameters stored per algorithm in Meta FX mode
  • Spatial FX mode: stereo panning and crossfade with CV control
  • Built-in VCA with CV control (0 to +5V)
  • Saturation Overkill mode activated by Volume Knob past 3 o'clock
  • Cabin Pressure (Dry/Wet) knob with CV input
  • Cabin Fever (secondary parameter) knob with CV input
  • Input 1 normalled to Input 2 when no cable present
  • Typical input level +/-5V eurorack, max +/-6.5V before saturation onset

Controls & Jacks (21)

  • Cabin Pressure— Manual control for dry/wet level of the effect (fully CCW = dry, fully CW = wet). Acts as attenuator when patch cable is inserted.
  • Volume— Final manual volume control with extra saturation after 15:00 position.
  • Type— Press to cycle through effect types in the current bank. Short press with TAP to switch between banks (Airways/Darkwaves).
  • Tap— Hold for 1+ seconds to enter secondary effect setting. Press with Type for 1+ seconds to enable Meta FX scanning. Used for tempo in delay ef
  • Cabin Fever— Manual control for secondary effect parameter (reverb decay, delay feedback, LFO speed, etc.). Acts as attenuator when patch cable is insert
  • Cabin Pressure CV Input— CV input for dry/wet control of the effect.
  • Audio Out 1— Stereo audio output (typically left).
  • Audio In 1— Stereo audio input (typically left). Normalled to Audio In 2 when no cable present.
  • VCA CV Input— Unattenuated CV input for volume control with range 0...+5V.
  • Audio Out 2— Stereo audio output (typically right).
  • FX Algorithm LED 1— Shows currently chosen FX algorithm (I or V when semi-lit).
  • FX Algorithm LED 4— Shows currently chosen FX algorithm (IV or VIII when semi-lit).
  • Cabin Fever CV Input— CV input for secondary parameter of the effect.
  • **
  • II
  • FX Algorithm LED 2— Shows currently chosen FX algorithm (II or VI when semi-lit).

  • audio
  • Status— Red/Blue LED shows bank change, firmware update, entering secondary parameters, and blinks red when saturation is active.
  • FX Algorithm LED 3— Shows currently chosen FX algorithm (III or VII when semi-lit).
  • Audio In 2— Stereo audio input (typically right).
