Product Overview

The EVENT DIY Kit by Rat King Modular is a game-changer in the world of Eurorack modules. Known for its exceptional versatility, this analog module offers a wide range of functionalities, including a VCO, envelope generator, slew limiter (portamento), waveshaper, LFO, and envelope follower. Whether you’re a seasoned synthesist or just starting your sonic journey, the EVENT is designed to elevate your sound design.

Key Features

• ONSET Control: Adjusts the positive rate (time) of change in voltage with a bipolar CV input jack.
• DURATION Control: Manages the negative rate (time) of voltage change, also featuring a bipolar CV input jack.
• HEIGHT Control: Sets the held voltage level when a continuous gate is applied, ensuring precise control over your sound.
• TRACK Input: 1v/oct input, making it particularly effective when patching the EVENT as a VCO.
• START Input: Simple gate/trigger/pulse input that initiates a cycle when used as a voltage controlled envelope.
• SIGNAL Input: Capable of handling constant or fluctuating voltage, perfect for manipulating CVs.
• SIG OUT: The main output, delivering results from the gate/trigger/pulse or SIGNAL inputs.
• PLS DLY: A short pulse for triggering other events as pulse delay or self-triggering when patched into itself.
