After Later Audio – Rainier (Peaks)

Rainier is not only a great modulation source, a voltage controlled ADSR and LFO, but also a versatile drum synthesizer and more in only 8hp.

The module is based on the Mutable Instruments Peaks and adds lots of CV inputs and attenuverters to the original concept. It can be an ADSR-like envelope generator, an LFO, a drum synthesizer and comes with the alternative firmware called Dead Man's Catch (DMC). This firmware expands the possibilities of the module and for example features the Alt ENV, ALT LFO, ALT Tap and Alt Drum modes. Here is a brief overview of the available modes in which Rainier can operate.
