Dual function generator with creative chaos modes

22 HP Eurorack module

Pique is a dual-channel function generator that morphs between ADSR envelopes, LFOs, tap tempo sequencing, and analog drum synthesis. With the Dead Man's Catch firmware, it becomes a creative playground offering exotic envelope shapes, FM oscillators, mini-sequencers, and chaotic generators that blur the line between utility and sound source.
