Mutable instruments

"From the famous french modular Mutable, Ambika is a multi-voice hybrid synthesizer with 6 voices"

Overview 

OVERVIEW DIY , official realease features a  2×40 LCD display showing  8 synthesis parameters assigned to the 8 knobs, and the 8 switches.
 Ambika consists of a motherboard and 6 voicecards, each of them carrying a boosted version of the Shruthi hybrid synthesizer (digital waveform synthesis through analog VCF/VCAs). Voice an be assigned as six monosynths, a six-voice polysynth, or anything in-between is up to you: MIDI channels/keyboard range/patches/voices are distinct concepts, allowing differentlayered, split, multitimbral setups. In addition, each voice has its own analog out.

TERMINAL CONNECTORS:
