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.
