Forge TME VIHK X
Multi-algorithm experimental synthesis coalescence
24 HP Eurorack module
VIHK X is a multi-algorithm experimental synthesis module specializing in complex drones, rich textures, and warped signal processing. It combines sound generation and effects into one self-contained unit that 'twists, convulses and wails' with alien physics and pulsating artifacts. The module trades standard control for a dialogical experience that rewards exploration and lateral thinking.
