Manufacturer's description
Antilope is a pseudo drum and dynamics machine, a dual pingable fully resonant filter, with distortion + multiFX feedback path, all controllable through a pattern recorder with 3 cv sources switchable between morphable AD envelopes or stepped voltages.
It's a standalone instrument, but compatible with eurorack voltage levels, with midi clk/reset and sync inputs.
Has a stereo line level input for processing external sources, stereo line level out, and a headphone output.
A USB C (2.4A) power input makes antilope a portable instrument.
Sections overview
FILTER:
It's a dual filter with common cutoff, resonance and spread;
Audio inputs level control, LPF to HPF crossfaders and attenuverters for v/oct CV in. For audio inputs we have eurorack level jacks on the front and a stereo 3.5mm line-level on back.
CV inputs are pitch and resonance.
The filters can self-oscillate in order to be treated as a dual VCO that can track v/oct up to 4 octaves.
But antilope shines when pinged, its worth to mention that its Q pot control has been shaped in order to offer a quasi-linear control of the decay length of the excited filters.
DISTORTION:
The 2 filters get summed then into the distortion section, modeled after the sunn o)) beta bass amplifier.
Its composed of a level control, distortion, Feedback and a three band equaliser with an emphasis on the low mid frequencies (dont worry, the HIGHs can scream too!).
The level and feedback are VCAs, making them CV controllable.
Also, a 2 position switch allows to decide the feedback path:
1. The distortion output goes straight back to its input, this shapes drastically the distortion harmonics till self oscillation;
2. The distortion output goes through the FX chain, which output then goes back to the distortion input, this adds an analog feedback path for the digital FX section, also the eq allows you to shape and control the color of the FX;
FXs: A spin fv-1 FX section runs right after the distortion, it offers 7 different stereo algorhythms, spacing from multitap echoes, flanger delays, pitch shifting delays and reverbs.
There is a dry/wet control, and 3 control parameters for the selected effect (all of them with their dedicated CV in).
As mentioned before, the analog feedback path that brings the FX out back to the distortion section adds warmth and tone control, the drive amount changes also completely the character of the fx going from smooth up to crunchy, distorted and broken textures, it also incorporates back the stereo signal into mono blending nicely the dry wet signals avoiding a complete separation between mid/side and creating a more "natural" sound.
THE CORE: The brain of the antilope is a trigger recorder, which allows you to record events (through the cherry MX switches) for 3 independent channels. Each channel has a dedicated cv and gate outputs.
The type of output can be switched between an AD envelope (with controllable length through the faders) or a stepped voltages sequence, which will be extrapolated from the 6 faders positions.
The envelope shape is morphable from exponential to logarhithmic, and to exp/log to log/exp. The rate can go from 20ms/50Hz to ~ 8s/0.125Hz.
Once a pattern has been recorded, channels have independent control of the following parameters: phase, shape and multiplication/division over playback speed. This parameters can be externally CV controlled, through the jack inputs on the rear panel of the antilope.
A touch/magnetic surface allows to introduce various types and combinations of cross modulations between the 3 channels, this is a great expressive tool to add embelishments, and widening the palette of possible variations of an otherwise steady and repetitive pattern.
At the moment, up to 7 patterns can be saved and recalled (only the core parameters, filter/distortion/FX are analogically controlled).
Since the pattern recorder unquantised, the external midi clock work as a reset every 4 steps.
External clock signals (gate/trig) resets every "n" ticks, with "n" selectable from: 2,4,8,10,12,16,32.
Antilope has a usb port for future CORE firmware updates.
Antilope is an instrument of experimentation and discovery, it's a condensation of manifold aresearch centre sound and interface philosophy.
Antilope is powered over USB C - a USB C cable is included in the package which will work with most "phone charger" USB power supplies.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
