At Knobcon 2021, Modbap Modular’s Corry Banks introduced Osiris, a 12hp bi-fidelity wavetable oscillator for Eurorack systems.

The Osiris features:

• 6+ timbre modes, including FM and phase modulation;
• an independent sub-oscillator;
• LoFi processing;
• extensive CV modulation capabilities;
• a pitch quantizer;
• 4 banks of 32×32 wavetables each;
• the ability to load user wavetables via Micro SD cards; and
• an open-source wavetable editor (OsirisEdit), a fork of Synth Tech’s Wave Edit.

The module is a collaboration with Ess Mattisson of Fors.

Timbre Modes include:

• Unison – Layers a second oscillator that detunes from slight beatings up to an octave.
• Bend – Compresses the waveform to a thinner shape
• Fold – Introduces symmetric 2-stage wave folding by first mirroring the waveform and then folding it
• Sync – Repeats the cycle count of the waveform within a Hanning window, making the edges soft
• Noise– Adds window-synced noise to the waveform phase
• FM x 1 – Applies phase modulation to the oscillator using the same waveform
• FM x ….8 – The FM scans through a ratio of 1 up to a ratio of 8 smoothly, with mixed stages in between
