Neutral Labs Pip

Dual morphable LFO with CV recording and clock division

8 HP Eurorack module

Pip is a Neutral Labs dual-channel wavetable LFO with recordable CV waveforms. It features morphing between preset and recorded waveforms, clock division between channels, free and phase modes, and both unipolar and bipolar outputs.

Features

  • Dual-channel simultaneous CV output, one per channel
  • Channel B is master clock, channel A is slaved via division, free ratio, or phase offset
  • 16 wavetable pages per channel with 3 morphable waveforms per page
  • Page 0 on channel A: sample-and-glide (CCW) and sample-and-hold (CW) random page
  • Page 0 on channel B: constant value (CCW) to sample-and-hold (CW) for modulating channel A
  • CV recording of one cycle at 128 steps resolution onto the middle waveform slot of any page
  • Morphing between recorded CV and adjacent wavetable waveforms via MORPH knob
  • MORPH knob movement can itself be recorded if no CV jack is inserted
  • Unipolar (0V to +5V) and bipolar (-5V to +5V) outputs per channel, output simultaneously
  • Tap tempo via SYNC button with external sync input
  • Clock rate range: approximately 0.0083 Hz (2 minute period) to 10 Hz (100 ms period)
  • External CV input per channel mimics MORPH knob function (0V to +5V usable)

Controls & Jacks (18)

  • MORPH A— Morph between waveforms on channel A. Counterclockwise position selects left waveform, middle position selects middle waveform (or CV record
  • MORPH B— Morph between waveforms on channel B. Counterclockwise position selects left waveform, middle position selects middle waveform (or CV record
  • Sync— Tap button to set clock tempo. Tap at least twice at desired rate
  • DIV— In normal mode, sets clock division ratio between channels A and B (1/4 to 2/1). In free mode, adjusts channel A tempo independently. In pha
  • OUT A (unipolar)— Unipolar CV output for channel A, ranging from 0V to +5V.
  • OUT B (bipolar)— Bipolar CV output for channel B, ranging from approximately -5V to +5V.
  • OUT A (bipolar)— Bipolar CV output for channel A, ranging from approximately -5V to +5V.
  • CV B— CV input for channel B. 0V to 5V usable range maps to MORPH B knob position. Overrides knob when connected.
  • OUT B (unipolar)— Unipolar CV output for channel B, ranging from 0V to +5V.
  • SYNC 1— Tap to set clock tempo. Tap at least twice at desired rate to adjust master tempo for channel B.
  • CV A— CV input for channel A. 0V to 5V usable range maps to MORPH A knob position. Overrides knob when connected.
  • REC 1— Hold during SYNC LED flash to record CV for one cycle. Recording is stored as middle waveform of current page.
  • REC 2— Recording gate input. Voltage above +1.5V enables recording. Overrides REC button when connected.
  • SYNC 2— External sync input. Positive voltage pulses sync to internal clock. Overrides SYNC button when connected.
  • PG A— Select wavetable page for channel A. Quick press cycles pages. Long press (~1 second) toggles between normal/free mode.
  • PG B— Select wavetable page for channel B. Quick press cycles pages. Long press (~1 second) toggles between normal/phase mode.
  • Rec— Hold during SYNC LED flash to record CV input for one cycle
  • 2/1— LED showing the current clock division ratio between channels A and B
