Overview
Melotus Versio is a stereo texturizer that uses granular processing to transform and
reshape sound. It’s granular for Doombient. Designed to be played by hand or
manipulated within a patch, Melotus can act as everything from a grain delay to a
completely transformative texturizer with extensive grain control and manipulation of
triggering, direction, and randomness. Audio can be filtered with a lowpass/highpass
combo filter that adds haunting shimmers and subharmonics. Plus, grains can be frozen
by hand or with triggers and gates, or clocked to create rhythmic effects. Plus, Melotus
Versio is a DSP platform and can be transformed into a completely different effect by
loading a growing number of alternate firmwares, completely free—or program your own
firmware with our open-source documentation.
Etymology
Melotus: from Latin Meles for “badger” Also, a contraction of Melocactus, a genus of
prickly cactus.
Versio: from Latin for “versatile”
“Versatile spiky badger”
