XAOC Devices / Jena

Jena is a digital module that can be used as a flexible wave shaper for CV and audio signals, as well as a wavetable oscillator, Walsh function generator, and even a rhythm generator. This unit is designed as a new component of the Leibniz Binary Subsystem, which processes signals and voltages by manipulating 8-bit binary values.

In the Leibniz subsystem, you can directly access every bit composing the data, mixing them or patching them together. This can be described as an experimental technique akin to safe “circuit bending,” achievable without physically modifying the circuit. Note that analog signal input/output requires combination with other Leibniz modules such as Drezno. Adding components to the system enables building more complex and highly expandable chains. For example, connecting two Lipsk Expanders before and after Jena allows nearly unlimited patching.

For detailed specifications and operation methods, please refer to the manual.

Expandability
Drezno: Leibniz subsystem I/O front end featuring analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and digital-to-analog conversion (DAC). Capable of processing signals and voltages based on binary representation even as a standalone unit.
Lipsk: Binary logic processing expander capable of inverting individual bits of a digital signal. More specialized and advanced Leibniz modules are planned for future addition.
Poczdam: Binary data routing module for Leibniz subsystems. Manually or externally switchable between two Leibniz data sources.
Erfurt: A bidirectional digital counter/frequency divider. It supports diverse applications, such as driving digital wavetables as phase sources, generating glissandos via waveform scanning in Jena or step voltage generation combined with Drezno or arbitrary VCOs, creating gate patterns to animate Odessa's harmonic banks, and generating pseudo-chaotic sequences through feedback to Lipsk.
