Percussa Super Signal Processor

Bert Schiettecatte based in Los Angeles California has created a new Percussa Super Signal Processor Eurorack Module which she has launched via Kickstarter this month and thanks to backers has already passed the required pledge goal to make the jump into manufacture.

The Percussa Super Signal Processor eurorack module is based on one of the fastest ARM processors available, the quad core Cortex A17, and high end ADC/DAC converters. Key Features and specifications of the Percussa Super Signal Processor :

Audio I/O
• 8 outputs via high end AKM DAC with 32 bit resolution / 192kHz sample rate (AK4458)
• 2 inputs via high end AKM ADC with 32 bit resolution / 192kHz sample rate (AK5552)
• Support for eurorack DC voltage level ranges on inputs and outputs (-5V to +5V)
• Low-noise power supplies and op-amp stages, featuring 0.1% resistors

Control Voltage I/O
•  14 inputs via industrial ADCs or via AKM audio ADCs (see “status of project” section)
• Support for eurorack DC voltage level range (-5V to +5V)

DSP Processing
• Quad core processor running at 1.8 GHz per core 32-bit SIMD and 64-bit floating point arithmetic
• 32-bit floating point ADC/DAC input / output
• Capable of running multiple software modules in parallel on multiple cores

Synthesis Engine
• Supports recording audio inputs and outputs directly to SD card for instant wavetable / sample creation or recording of live performances without the need for external software
• Supports loading your own WAV files into the Wavetable Oscillator and Sampler software modules, via the SD card (limited only by SD card size / RAM size)
• Coarse and Fine frequency controls on all Oscillators
• Comes with a set of 100+ pre-recorded samples / wavetables
• Storage and Recall of Presets and Settings with the press of a button
• Rule-based fast 2D patching
• Supports routing / mixing multiple inputs to multiple software modules
• Supports routing / mixing multiple software modules to multiple outputs

Included DSP modules (see stretch goals for additional modules)
• 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

Development Kit
• SDK with examples for writing your own modules in C++
• Support on the SSP to load your modules from the SD Card

Display, Graphics and User Interface
• 1600×480 pixel wide format full colour LVDS IPS display
• 2D & 3D Graphics acceleration support (see stretch goals)
• 4x High quality Aluminium Machined Knobs
• 4x Bourns Endless and Click-less Encoders
• 18x Industrial Temperature MEC Switches
• User interface design featuring shallow menus (no menu diving), large fonts for readability and signal input / output Oscilloscope features

Connectivity
• 1 USB device port with USB Audio Class 2.0 support
• 1 USB host port with USB MIDI class and USB ethernet adapter support
• Serial (header) connector on PCB to access linux serial console

Storage
• 1 microSD card slot 16 GB professional microSD card (not included in DIY pledge) with FAT partition for easy sharing of presets and samples and for software updates (OS agnostic)
• 2GB onboard RAM

Dimensions and Front Panel
• 60HP width, 3U in height (eurorack compatible, see pledges for customization options)
• 50mm depth behind front panel (estimated)
• 2mm thick CNC machined / laser cut aluminium front panel, sandblasted and black anodized (see pledges for customization options)

Power
• 350mA @ +12V and 50mA @ -12V consumption (estimated)
• Standard 16-pin eurorack power connector
