ALM Busy Circuits Tyso Daiko
Dual 12-bit wavetable drum voice with analog tilt EQ and wavefolder
14 HP Eurorack module
Tyso Daiko by ALM Busy Circuits is a dual 12-bit digital wavetable drum voice with full voltage control. Two independently triggered voices share a swept wavetable oscillator with 11 morphing waveforms, pitch envelope with V/Oct tracking, and surface transient shaping. Voice 1 routes through a voltage-controlled analog tilt EQ (with external input); Voice 2 passes through a digital wavefolder for aggressive timbre mangling. Accent and choke inputs create dynamic interplay between voices, while the Rate control enables everything from pitch sweeps to audio-rate FM textures.
Features
- Dual 12-bit digital wavetable drum voices with independent triggers and outputs
- 11 morphing wavetable positions from sine through complex FM, voice, cymbal, and noise
- Voice 1 routed through voltage-controlled analog tilt EQ for warm frequency shaping
- Voice 2 routed through digital wavefolder for aggressive harmonic mangling
- Swept pitch envelope with Start, Rate, and destination Pitch controls
- Rate control enables audio-rate cycling for FM synthesis textures
- 1V/Oct pitch tracking input for melodic drum sequencing and synth voice use
- Surface control shapes attack transient from sharp click to slow swell
- Accent input creates asymmetric dynamics: doubles Voice 1 release, halves Voice 2
- Choke input silences Voice 1 until next trigger for hi-hat style gating
- External audio input routes through the analog tilt EQ alongside Voice 1
- Full CV control over all synthesis parameters
