Warp

Neuzeit Instruments brings AI to the Eurorack! We released a new firmware that contains a wavetable editor that works with artificial intelligence. A neural network generates overtone spectra that are translated into wavetables by Warp. Three parameters are available to the user, with which he can playfully and fluently morph through the creations of the neural network.
