K3 // Digital Effects
Kilpatrick Format Digital Effects Processor - 1 Space
The K3 Digital Effects module contains two different digital effect
units in a single module. The top REVERB / DELAY section produces high
quality reverb and delay effects, all processed at 24 bits. The lower
ITTI BITTI section produces lo-fi effects such as bit crushing and
sample-rate reduction, wavefolding, distortion and signal
multiplication. Reverb and delay effects are geared towards audio
signals, whereas the ITTI BITTI effects can be used for both audio and
low frequency control voltage signals.
Reverb / Delay
The REVERB / DELAY section provides high quality stereo reverb and
delay effects with a dedicated audio DSP. A mono input and level
control are used to feed audio into the processor. The output
generates a left and right channel which create expansive reverbs and
stereo delays. Three controls allow the reverb mix, delay mix and
delay time to be controlled. The delay time can also be controlled
with a voltage to create pitch shifted and sped up / slowed down
effects. Two reverb algorithms and three delay algorithms are selected
with the main PROGRAM control.
ITTI BITTI
The ITTI BITTI section occupies the lower half of the module. It
generates low fidelity audio and CV effects using non-oversampled 12
bit analog converters to create a number of interesting types of
distortion and digital processing of both control voltages and audio
signals. It creates digital multiplication of two signals, sample and
hold with sample-rate and bit depth reduction controls, wave folding
with adjustable drive and break points, and a digital distortion
effect which creates harmonically rich timbres from simple
waveforms. The sample rate of the system is internally generated, or
can be fed from a pitch oscillator or other source of pulses.
