Rebel Technology OWL Modular

The Rebel Technology OWL Modular Programmable Synth Module is a fully programmable synth module, where you can program unique effects or download presets, with a USB MIDI connection, and 8-96 kHz sampling rate. The OWL Modular is a fully programmable digital audio device. With a sophisticated ARM Cortex M4 processor and plenty of memory, it delivers outstanding performance and audio quality. The platform is entirely open source and remarkably easy to program. A growing community of patch developers have created a diverse library of more than 70 effects, including phasers, flangers, delays, reverbs, distortion, compression, filters, shifters, screamers, and laughers.

Based on the successful OWL Pedal, the Modular adds CV control and DC-coupled inputs and outputs, while retaining full patch compatibility. The OpenWareLaboratory combines several unique, powerful features: polyglot DSP (C++, FAUST and Pure Data patches can run on the same device); dynamic patch loading (no need to flash firmware); the same patch can run on the device, in a VST plugin, or a web browser; cross-platform DSP library, easy to use yet highly optimised. The latest firmware includes 40 factory patches that you can easily change between without connecting a computer. Additional patches can be easily loaded from the online patch library.
