The vhikk twists, convulses and wails in a vortex haunted, spitting dirt and dust and time and raw energy.  Rapid shadows, alien physics, pulsating artefacts, sometimes ridiculous, sometimes possessed.  A window to an alternate reality. Engine room communications network phreak, phase splitting in the teardrop orbifold.

The vhikk is a multi-algorithm sound source and processor capable of traversing sonic planes complex, raw, dense, electric, erratic, dynamic.

The vhikk trades standard control and comprehensions for a [hopefully fertile] dialogical experience and breadth of sonic palette.  It is designed to encourage exploration and [tele]presence - with low cognitive overhead.  The vhikk rewards lateral theory and lateral practice, with its own unique operational modes and interwoven parameterisations.

The vhikk is happy alone but thirsty for voltages. The produced output can be quite spectrally and temporally full and doesn't necessarily require [but certainly appreciates] further processing to synthesise musically/experientially useful material.

Vhikk X is a multi-algorithm experimental synthesis coalescence specialising in [but not limited to] complex drones/basses, rich textures, dynamic sfx, and warped signal processing. It combines sound generation and effects processing into one module with multiple different algorithms.

The nature of Vhikk X makes it suitable for situations where a compact, ergonomic, and self-contained sound source/processor would be welcome - for example smaller modular systems, or large systems where a self-contained sound island with minimised cognitive overhead would be desirable.

Each combined position of the two toggle switches is a different algorithm, giving 9 in total per bank.  There are 4 banks as indicated by the 3 red lights between the toggle switches, giving 36 total algorithms.

Vhikk X expands on the original Vhikk technically and ideologically by offering more parameters, more algorithms, more CV inputs, and continuous control over architectural morphing and internal randomisation - all while retaining the ergonomy and interactive experience of Vhikk V1.

Vhikk X also introduces:
24bit inputs and outputs
stereo inputs for audio processing
VCA input for amplitude shaping without requiring an external stereo VCA
Continuous control of input/output volumes with soft clipping and lots of gain on tap to drive next-in-chain modules and boost lower level input signals. [can also take line level in and produce line level out]

The improved signal path allows for Vhikk X to expand into cleaner and more dynamic sonic territory, while still providing means to twist and crush itself into dirty saturated mayhem. There have also been stereo imaging improvements, with algorithm tweaks to run in true stereo end-to-end.

Vhikk X has the ability to do firmware updates via the USB-C port on the side, supporting USB Mass Storage drag and drop.
