Description
This module introduces a unique approach to rhythm, it can add complexity to any pattern by superimposing extremely odd divisions creating syncopation and rhythmic complexity. It provides extensive possibilities for rhythmic creation, transforming static rhythmic patterns into dynamic and complex rhythmic layering enhancing the rhythmic foundation set by the primary clock. It allows users to explore and generate rhythms in previously unattainable ways.
The module operates by taking an input clock signal and generating two new independent outputs that dynamically accelerates or decelerates the BPM toward a user-defined destination BPM over a specified number of beats. Meaning that the output generation is never constant, they will always be dynamically accelerating or decelerating, where no interval between two pulses is the same, the current interval will always be shorter or longer than the previous interval.
This principle will generate unique metrics that when played against the main clock will create extremely unique patterns, from simple swing /syncopation to beyond free-jazz completely unexpected while mathematically justified metrics.

Audio
While working on and testing the Firmware i made a series of recordings that were later edited and compiled in this release.
All samples triggered exclusivelly from up to 3 ADDAC406 Clock Benders, all the samples played by ADDAC112s and Erica Synths Drums, minimal editing and post-processing.
This is not intended as a demonstration of the module; however, it does showcase some of its capabilities using my preferred methods.
In all these tracks the main clock triggering all 406s is not used for any other purpose and is never heard.

Custom Panel
In case you're wondering: Sure! We can get you a custom coloured front panel for the ADDAC406.
It has an additional cost and takes 4 to 6 weeks to be ready.
At the moment the ADDAC406 standard panel colour is Black.
A custom colour panel can be done in either Red, Green, Blue, White, Silver Gray, Yellowed Silver, and Dark or Light Bronze.
Print colour varies between Black, White, or Red, Blue and Green. We recommend lighter-tone print for darker panels, and vice-versa.
Please note: we don’t stock custom coloured panels. For every custom order we need to make a single panel order from our panel provider. This explains the panel price and lead time.
