OK Instruments - Spill

Six triggerable effects, per-effect sequencing and conditional logic. SPILL is a wonderfully unruly stereo processor for rhythmic glitches, granular clouds and slowly shifting textures.

Built on the Daisy Seed platform, Spill offers Stutter, Grains, Slicer, Filter + Phaser, Delay and Reverb. Each can be fired from its button, a trigger input, the internal sequencer, the logic section or the randomiser. Most of the effects are buffer-based and tempo-dependent, so Spill takes its BPM from an external clock, tap tempo or manual entry, keeping loop sizes, stutters and delay times musically in step. Each effect can be assigned to the left, right or both channels, so the module works as one stereo processor or as two independent mono units. The four CV inputs are normalled to +12 V, which turns their attenuators into hands-on macro controls when nothing is patched. Three modulation busses per effect route CV, a sine LFO, ADSR, envelope follower, a 40-second CV recorder or random values to any parameter. Logic gates and counter conditions let effects trigger or block one another. Delay and Reverb work in send fashion, so their tails keep ringing after the trigger ends, and a Wet Only mode turns the whole module into a pure send effect. Glitchy, generative and a good deal deeper than it first appears — yes, it does A LOT!
