Sinclastic Empulatrix
Description
DISCONTINUED
Sinclastic Empulatrix is a compact 4HP envelope generator and clamping VCA inspired by the punchy, efficient envelope circuits of the classic TR-808. Built around an exponential attack-release design, it delivers everything from ultra-fast transients to long, evolving swells, while its unique clamp circuit shapes audio with subtle clipping and harmonic distortion as the envelope decays. With gate and trigger modes, manual hit control, and the ability to function as an asymmetric slew, Sinclastic Empulatrix is a versatile utility for percussion synthesis, dynamic shaping, and adding character to any signal path.
