ALTER is a stereo effects processor for Eurorack format cases. There are two versions with an entirely different set of effects from the other. 

Binary Society: Special Edition ALTER is based on Alter 2's DSP configuration set and is featured in a custom silver face plate with "Binary Society Special Edition" printed on the panel.  

Here is the secret link where you can place your order (make sure to select "Secret Perk"):

ALTER features 7 different DSP effects meticulously designed over the course of a year by Arius Blaze with digital programming, additional design and input by Nico Raftis of Macro Machines.

1. Analog Delay
2. Reverb with Infinite Capture & LP + HP filters 
3. Choral Reverb
4. Palindrome Reverse Delay
5. Time Stretch
6. Pitch Shift (notated semi-tones)
7. Time Stretch Glitch


​CONTROL
Controls for mix, X, Y and filter as well as clock.
​
- All effects have a variation of a filter which may change effect to effect.

- X and Y control various rates, feedback and time over the different effects (note that some of the images shows a prototype which says "rate" under two of the pots. The faceplate has been changed to "X" and "Y").

- Clock control adjusts the rate which controls the DSP which can drastically change the effect. In doing so it does slightly lower the quality of the output signal but the results are fantastic. This clock is not for synchronization.

- Mix, X, Y and filter all have CV control inputs.
​
- Each control level or cv input is visualized on the control panel.
EFFECTS
Effects are selected by the hexagonal touch pad.  The effects for the ALTER are as follows:

ALTER 2
1. Analog Delay
2. Reverb with Infinite Capture and LP + HP filters 
3. Choral Reverb
4. Palindrome Reverse Delay - backward/forward repeat
5. Time Stretch
6. Pitch Shift (notated semi-tones
7. Time Stretch Glitch
ALTER 1
1. Long Delay
2. Granular Delay
3. Huge Plate Reverb
4. Shimmering Reverb
5. Distortion and Multi-filter
6. Pitch Delay

SPECS
​
  • 160 mA +12V
  • 0 mA -12V
  • 0 mA 5V
  • 16hp width
  • 25 mm Depth

INS AND OUTS
Stereo inputs with separate level/gain control for right and left channels
​
These levels can also act as mute as it can take the signal to 0. They can also add gain to a quiet signal.

- Peak level indicator for clipping levels at the input

- Mono input is made stereo within dsp and outputs to both left and right channels
​
- Stereo outputs for right and left channels
