Nano Modules ARC

Dual Function Generator

24 HP Eurorack module

ARC is an analog dual function generator with two independent channels and a common logic section.

Features

  • Two independent channels can serve as envelope generators, VCO/LFOs, slew limiters, or waveform modulators.
  • The common section provides X-greater-than-Y, sum, OR, and AND outputs.
  • CV control is provided for all parameters.
