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
