Construct evolving sequences. The creative experience of using a constrained hardware system rather than the lazy freedom of just being able to “add another module”. ThreeTuring lays out everything in front of you without the need to keep going back to the manual. No menu diving, no alternative pages and easy to pick up if you haven’t used it for a few weeks or months. Having fun making music. ThreeTuring consists of a dual oscillator monosynth, a clock module for generating trigger patterns alongside a collection of generative modules encompassing a range of modular generative techniques including a turing machine, random generators, LFOs, envelope generators, a quantiser, a note accent and a set of effects modules. Pretty much every control can be modulated via the nine slot modmatrix, including the modulation settings themselves.
