Arcaico Gladio dual slope/function generator

GLADIO is a dual generator of modulatable envelopes and slopes,

inspired by the great classics of modular synthesis but

reinterpreted according to Arcaico's vision.

Each envelope is a blade that sculpts time, a malleable

flow that can become an envelope,

a low-frequency oscillator, a complex shape generator or an

interactive modulator. The name GLADIO

recalls the ancient weapon, a symbol of precision and power.

OPERATING MODE:

AR (Attack-Release)

The envelope starts with the trigger and follows the attack and

release curve.

It is not affected by the gate duration.

ASR (Attack-Sustain-Release)

The envelope remains ‘high’ as long as the input gate remains active.

When the gate is released, the decay phase begins.

CYCLE

Transforms the generator into an LFO oscillator variable from

0.2 ms to 23 minutes.

Ideal for slow modulations or audio-rate oscillations.

FUZE

Envelope B follows Envelope A with a 90° phase shift.

Create quadrature modulations useful for stereo effects,

timbre rotations and complex patterns.

EOC (End of Cycle)

Output that triggers on each completed cycle.

Can be used to synchronise other modules or to auto-trigger the envelope

SUM OUT.

use this output to mix the two envelopes and

create new textures for your envelopes.
