Modular Add-On: 4ms Pingable Envelope Generator (PEG) for Softube Modular

Unlike a standard ADSR, each channel of the 4ms PEG restarts its cycle when it receives a ping from an external clock. Softube's description points to your DAW clock as a typical source. Each channel can multiply the pinged tempo to fit two, three, four or more envelope cycles into each beat, or divide it to create longer cycles that still lock to the tempo.

Detailed control over the envelope shape lets you shape percussive clicks and beeps, or match the elastic movement of a bassline to your track's tempo.

The module includes CV inputs and flexible routing. You can use one side at a time to sync the rhythm of a sound to the track, or use both sides together for generative rhythmic patterns. The envelope from one channel can also modulate parameters on the other channel.

The developer describes the module as well suited to open-ended experimentation, which can produce unexpected results. It is designed to modulate other Softube Modular modules rather than produce sound on its own.
