Wirehead Instruments has introduced Basilisk, a hybrid generative bassline synth that’s available pre-assembled and as a DIY ket.

Basilisk is a “bass-line exploration synthesizer”, with dual digital oscillators driving into an aggressive MS20-style analog filter, all powered by a built-in generative sequencer.

The dual oscillators include saw and square/pulse, with manual & LFO control over PWM, detune, pitch envelope & glide. The analog filter has a fat saturated drive stage with resonance that can go from subtle to squelching & screaming, and includes an external audio input to process instruments from your desktop or Eurorack modular through the filter.

All of this can be modulated by the attack/decay exponential envelope, multi-waveform multi-destination LFO and Elektron-style parameter-locks. The Basilisk’s brain is a 1-16-step generative sequencer borrowed from the Freaq FM, with multiple algorithms.
