Subharmonic weight meets self-oscillating biological dread.
REQUIEM // 37 is a dark industrial & cinema-scoring synthesizer engineered for chest-rattling death-beats, worn cassette portamento, and screaming K-35 / ZDF ladder feedback. A phase-locked 115 Hz crossover keeps your sub-bass surgically clean while the upper harmonics are torn apart by a 2x-oversampled wavefolder, bit-corroder, and delayed FLARES feedback loop.
Continuous waveform morphing from pure Sine through Triangle, PolyBLEP Saw, Pulse, and West-Coast Wavefolded timbres with Osc1×Osc2 cross-modulation.
Dedicated -1/-2 octave sub oscillator with a 115 Hz phase-locked direct crossover and instant-attack Pitch Stomp impact envelope (+24st to -24st).
60fps reactive ferrofluid & oscilloscope specimen chamber behind scratched lab glass. Click and drag directly inside the chamber to sweep filter cutoff and resonance.
Switch between a 24 dB/oct Zero-Delay Feedback transistor ladder, dual-filter K-35 screamer, or Bandpass Grit with delayed sub-octave FLARES feedback.
2x-oversampled asymmetric tube/diode clipper, West-Coast wavefolder, bit-corroder, BBD stereo chorus, and sample-rate invariant dark cavern reverb.
115 Hz Phase-Locked Sub Crossover
Standard distortion plugins and aggressive synths destroy sub-bass weight as soon as you push wavefolding or bitcrushing. REQUIEM // 37 splits the signal at 115 Hz: fundamental chest weight bypasses the destruction stage while everything above 115 Hz is shredded.
FLARES Sub-Octave Feedback
Inspired by patching a hardware synth's headphone output back into its external audio input, the FLARES Feedback circuit routes a pitched-down, tape-delayed copy of the output back into the ZDF Ladder or K-35 filter input.
7-Voice Swarm & Worn Capstan Flutter
Stack up to 7 detuned unison voices across the stereo field while per-voice Ornstein-Uhlenbeck thermal drift and wow/flutter modulation recreate the unstable pitch warble of aged magnetic tape reels.
Title-Screen Drone Latch & Patch Mutator
Engage DRONE HOLD to sustain an endless bio-horror drone hands-free, hit MUTATE to evolve the patch within musically safe bounds, and lock the LFO to your DAW with host-tempo sync — 1/1 to 1/32 divisions with dotted and triplet feels, phase-locked to the timeline so every bounce lands identically.
