The Nibbler is a logic module (a CMOS based four bit digital accumulator) which generates two stepped voltages and four gates in sync with an incoming clock.
It explores the idea that counting in binary (and its expression in bits) is inherently musical, and with slow clock speeds we can use it to create both rhythms and modulation voltages (or melodies). At audio rate we can generate subharmonics and modem-like sounds (or noise).
Features
- 5 rhythmically related gate outputs (or audio rate square waves)
- 2 stepped voltage outputs
- Second stepped voltage has selectable phase offset
- Cherry MX Brown switch for reset
- 4 gate inputs for modulation
- Chainable using carry in and out
- Reset input can be used as hard sync at audio rate
- Subtract input can add variation to sequences
- Synchronous and asynchronous output modes
- Shift register functionality
- CMOS logic design
