Plume is the debut module from Hieroglyphic. It’s a digital oscillator based around pulsar synthesis, which is a fairly obscure technique devised by Curtis Roads in 2001, inspired by astronomical observations of neutron stars. In this video I build a few patches to explore the range of sounds it can produce from complex stereo leads to West Coaststyle wavefolded tones to rich, modulated drones.

Thanks to Hieroglyphic for supplying the module.
