Morbus Legio

Morbus Legio is a unique combination of flexible noise oscillator and distortion processor. Its noise oscillator features three CV-able parameters that affect how noise is generated, plus a wavefolder and a chorus. Soft clipping, wavefolding, FWR, and chorus can all be applied to an external signal. Morbus Legio is available as a firmware only, so if you own a Legio you can load Morbus onto your module for free from the Customer Portal.
