XAOC Devices Zadar

Vector envelope sculptor with infinite resolution

10 HP Eurorack module

Zadar is a shape-shifting envelope generator that treats envelopes as infinitely scalable vector graphics. It feels like having a graphic designer's toolkit for modulation — you can stretch, warp, flip, and chain 270 unique envelope shapes into complex evolving patterns that range from snappy transients to half-hour epic journeys.

Features

  • Four independent channels with dedicated CV inputs and outputs
  • 270 unique vector shapes in 27 banks of 10 shapes each
  • Cycle time range from 0.85ms to 30 minutes
  • Vector shapes with 3 to 1000 breakpoints for infinite resolution scaling
  • Warp and Response deformation in real time
  • Complex chaining and looping across up to four channels
  • Assignable CV inputs for nearly every parameter
  • 18 preset slots with quick save function
  • OLED display with real-time visual feedback
  • Sustain point with gate input support
  • Phase shift and repeat parameters for complex patterns
