Rossum Electro-Music / Control Forge

Multi-functional CV generator that also functions as a sequencer. 500 presets

Rossum Electro-Music Control Forge is a precisely programmable CV generator module. The extremely powerful function generator from the 90s synthesizer module ""E-MU Morpheus"" has been made into a Eurorack module.

Extended into a highly flexible modulation source including elaborate one-shot waveforms to evolve periodic patterns and sequences.

Features
・The most basic function is an 8-segment function generator that varies the time and target voltage level of each segment.

・The level of each segment can be defined absolutely or relative to the end level of the previous stage and can be quantized to the nearest 1/12 volts.

・The level of each segment can be user-defined with a range of randomness, either linear or Gaussian distribution.

・The time scale can be adjusted manually using CV control or the encoder.

・Segments have 67 transition shapes (shown graphically on the display when selected), with a variety of built-in shapes ranging from linear and exponential to random and chaotic. Passes CV directly to the output of each individual segment.

・Includes a ""DC"" shape that allows the module to be used as a sequencer with all programmable possibilities. When combined with the preset sequencers described below, sequences can be hundreds of steps long and can be modified in real time, either manually or with CV.

・Each segment can optionally use a ""Conditional Jump Mode"" to jump to another selected stage if certain conditions are met. For example, CV above or below a selected condition value, the presence or absence of a gate or logic maximum at their respective inputs, a rising or falling edge of an input, etc. This allows you to program periodic patterns that evolve based on various condition inputs in addition to one shots.

・Control Forge's autochain feature allows you to create two very special multi-preset patterns.

Multi-preset retriggerable patterns (long syncable LFO-like patterns) and multi-preset envelope-like patterns that can be retriggered, with an optional ""sustain section"" and ""release section"" that jumps when gated off.

- Two independent triggers can be programmed to react to various events and can be used to control Control Forge itself or external modules.

- 500 different presets can be stored and recalled.

- The preset sequencer allows up to 200 user-defined presets to be executed under trigger, clock or manual control. This allows the generation and sequencing of waveforms of almost unlimited length and complexity.

- All presets and sequences can be transferred to any number of Satellite modules. These modules can operate as standalone modulation sources completely independent of Control Forge.
