Noise Engineering Confundo Funkidos
Four-channel probabilistic rhythm crossfader with accents and BURN
12 HP Eurorack module
Confundo Funkidos is a four-channel rhythm crossfader that takes two trigger patterns per channel and probabilistically combines them based on the XFADE slider position and selected Curve algorithm. Each channel outputs both a trigger and an algorithmically-derived accent gate. The Burn parameter adds fills by probabilistically routing triggers across channels, while three-position Mute switches control whether each channel outputs triggers, accents, and responds to Burn. CV inputs for both the crossfader and Burn enable automated, generative rhythm manipulation.
Features
- Four independent channels, each with left and right trigger inputs
- Probabilistic crossfading between two rhythm sets via XFADE slider
- Three crossfade probability curves (fade-to-silence, equal blend, additive)
- Algorithmically-derived per-channel accent gate outputs
- Three accent derivation algorithms (exclusive, coincidence, together)
- BURN parameter for fills: probabilistic cross-channel routing and accent flipping
- BURN button for instant 100% fills
- CV control over both crossfader position (XCV) and Burn intensity
- Three-position mute switches per channel (full, triggers-only, off)
- Standardized 5ms trigger output pulses at 5.5V
- 300us input timing window to handle varied trigger source latency
- 25ms output inhibit window prevents flamming
