Percussa SSP Hands-On Demo At Analogue Haven

Percussa shared this video, capturing their presentation at Analogue Haven about their Super Signal Processor (SSP) Eurorack module.

The Percussa SSP is a powerful multifunction module that lets you create custom patches, using a variety of DSP functions:

  • Wavetable Oscillator with true 3D morphing (XYZ) and cloud features
  • Sampler with Layering features
  • LFO with multiple waveforms (sine, saw, square, triangle)
  • Variable Frequency Noise
  • DC generator
  • Enveloped Generator with Exponential A and DR
  • Waveshaper
  • Comb Filter
  • State Variable Filter
  • Step Sequencer
  • Granular processor with live input
  • Sampler module (with separate parameters and modulation inputs for the 8 slots )
  • Simple delay
  • Bit crusher
  • Physical modeling membrane
  • Arpeggiator
  • Envelope Follower
  • Bus module
  • Develop/load your own VST plugins (compiled for Linux/Arm)
  • Switcher Module
  • Reverb and Delay
  • Macro Module

Details on the SSP are available at the Percussa site.
