Beside programming this website I always wanted to develop my own module. Since I am not an expert in electronics I teamed up with Erik, a guy who is and together we build a module we call the Gezeiten UltimaRatio.

Ultima Ratio is an intuitive playable Clock Divider, Clock Generator and Dual AR Envelope.

You can use it

  • to synchronize sequencers with independent time signatures
  • as an performance like instrument when you play the divider ratios
  • to provide and distribute a stable system clock
  • to fire envelopes in a live performance to rhythmically control filters or VCAs in musically meaningful ratios
  • to mult triggers

I also want to thank Liis, Oli and Antje without their help the project would not be possible.

It would be really helpful if those of you guys who are even remotely interested in the module would join the mail list on the new Gezeiten Website.

So I am super excited what you people think about it!
