ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's NEW Workout

Pamela's NEW Workout is an updated and improved version of ALM's classic Eurorack module, capable of generating not only clock signals and gates, but also modulation waveforms, random voltage, and complex logic processes. The core of Pam's is its clock generation: across 8 outputs you can send out signals that are rhythmically related to a global BPM. Divisions can go as slow as /512 while multiples can go up to x48. You can add Euclidean rhythms easily with built-in parameters for Step and Pattern Length, as well as Rotation. Gate signals are shapeable, too, from short pings to long sustains. Easily generate complex rhythms for up to 8 percussive voices.

It doesn't stop with rhythm though, this version can be a modulation powerhouse with each channel capable of generating unipolar 0–5V Triangle or Sine LFOs that are also Width and Phase shapeable. Their levels can be attenuated and with a built-in Random Skip feature, you can add only occasional modulation if set up properly. Aside from LFO shapes, each channel can create a short envelope that is great for pinging LPGs or adding natural-sounding decay when opening a VCA.

Pam's NEW Workout can also act as a random voltage source with stepped and smooth random waveforms available. Using the built-in note quantizer, you can generate random melodic lines, or loop the random voltage, moving from serendipity to intention at the turn of a knob. Each channel has a built-in Logic parameter that can do AND, OR, or XOR functions based on any other channel, or one of the two CV inputs.

Speaking of inputs, the Pam's plays well with others by accepting CV input: CV1 is a unipolar 0–+5v input while CV2 is a bipolar -5v–+5v input, and each one can be routed to affect almost any parameter. Two clock inputs are also available: one for clocking the system and one for either triggering a reset or toggling the clock run. And if all of that wasn't enough, two expanders are available to connect to even more external devices.

Pamela's NEW Workout has consistently been a module that is found in almost any case for its versatility, size, and straightforward interface. Grab one today and open a world of rhythmic possibilities for your Eurorack system.
