While the influence of infinitedigits' break-mangling wizardry is on full display in Ectocore, its creative possibilities are even further enhanced with numerous ways to integrate its powerful beat-battering with a Eurorack modular system. CV control over your breakbeat parameters and sample selection provides plentiful opportunities for creating automated movement and breakbeat chaos. Connect a to the clock input to sync Ectocore to the rest of a rhythmic patch, with automatic repitching of your break into the tapped-in or triggered tempo. Clock output features a multiplier, ensuring you can hit your desired tempo and create immediate changes in rhythmic flow. A trigger out is also available for clocking other modules, which analyzes Ectocore's audio stream to produce triggers based on kick, snare, transient, or random activity.
