Frap Tools Falistri

Dual function generator with divider, multiplier, and slew

18 HP Eurorack module

FALISTRI is a dual function generator capable of operating as envelope, LFO, or audio-rate oscillator, paired with a frequency divider, four-quadrant multiplier, and linear slew limiter. Its musical character is highly dynamic and interconnected, enabling complex modulation architectures from a single module. The two generators can be linked in quadrature or max configurations for rich, evolving modulation landscapes.

Features

  • Two independent function generators each capable of envelope, LFO, and audio-rate oscillator operation
  • Each generator has independent rise and fall time controls with CV inputs
  • Each generator has independent rise and fall shape controls
  • V/oct tracking input on each generator for oscillator pitch control
  • Bipolar, unipolar, and attenuverted outputs per generator
  • End of Rise (EOR) and End of Fall (EOF) gate outputs per generator
  • Force Loop input per generator for voltage-controlled looping
  • Quadrature mode links green generator 90 degrees behind yellow
  • Max output always outputs the higher of the two generator signals
  • Dual cascaded frequency divider (DCFD) with two independent channels and range switches
  • Four-quadrant multiplier (4QM) for amplitude modulation and ring modulation
  • 4QM has a trimmer for DC offset and quadrant LED matrix for visual feedback
