Gliss: Modular Synth Touch Control

⚡️GLISS IS AVAILABLE NOW!⚡️ Get it here: shop.bela.io/collections/modu...
Gliss is an elegant and intuitive synthesizer module for touch control. This Eurorack module operates in four modes:
- Control (control signals directly with touch position and touch size)
- Record (draw in waveforms of up to 75 seconds and play them back in a variety of ways)
- Signal (scale, smooth, offset and visualise signals)
- Notes (play up to 5 tuned notes as an expressive keyboard or step sequencer)
Gliss is small but powerful (4HP), and allows you to control your signals through high-precision touch sensing. See how waves behave with descriptive and immediate visual output via LEDs mounted behind the touch strip.

This is an excellent idea. It looks simple to use and useful.

[@BeniRoseMusic]

This is lovely! Like the Lightstrip on steroids!

[@TilliKommunikation]

Exciting! Must ... order ... immeditately ...

[@damianpinto3497]

amazing!

[@ChristopherHMJacques]

Have you considered releasing a version with the orientation flipped? I'm very interested in the module, but I'd much rather have the jacks and button at the top, to give my finger a better range. I could mount it upside down, but then my brain would have to think about voltage in inverse fashion, right? My brain is old and soggy.

[@oromoiluig]

Yes, we are going to put a setting in firmware to use the module upside down in an intuitive way. There is a conversation about it on ModWiggler

[@jt_climbing]

@@oromoiluig a 1u x axis version would be amazing too!

[@oromoiluig]

@@jt_climbing I guess you can just mount it horizontally with a generic 4hp to 1U adapter, right?

[@jt_climbing]

@@oromoiluig lol, thats so true!

[@aeon136]

Have U considered implementing R-Angle Patch Cables? 👽

[@guldengulbahar1171]

🙌🌹

[@juniorheptachords]

How do you switch between the various modes? Do you have to connect it to a computer to set the 1 mode the board does or can you switch between all modes somehow?

[@oromoiluig]

There is a menu that can be accessed via the button, so no computer needed!

[@strangemobius]

I think I need about ten of them.

[@oromoiluig]

[@kosmikmusa]

That is 1500€

[@marceljacques]

would it be possible to interface it to midi?

[@oromoiluig]

There is some midi support right now, to set the leds. What would you use midi for?

[@marceljacques]

@@oromoiluig To control my Omnisphere software synth

[@oromoiluig]

@@marceljacques would you need the LED feedback as well or just the touch surface?

[@kosmikmusa]

Yes. You just need Doepfer A-192-2 or Kenton Pro CV to MIDI. I have both and they work great.

[@takeiteasy6346]
