S-Board
Overview
Define your signal chain with no limits
S-Board gives you unlimited sound-shaping possibilities. Build your own signal chain by simply drag & drop the units onto the board, then patch in some modifier units to turn a static sound into a dazzling soundscape. S-Board can become your go-to mixing channel strip or your secret sound design weapon, it's all up to you.
Virtual patch cables
The virtual patch cable system is what makes S-Board unique. You'll find input jacks on many processor modules (like Acousma or Sweep) and some output jacks on the modifier units (Like LFO). When you patch a pair of them together with a virtual patch cable, some cool things happen - the parameter of the processor will be controlled by the modifier, which can lead to some fascinating, ever-changing sound.
Presets to get you start in no time
S-Board can make highly complex sound, meanwhile still so easy to use. We have presets to get you started right away. Right-click on the board to choose a board-wide preset. ("What the hack" is our favorite, try that.) Right-Click on individual units to find their own presets. Once you get the hang of it, designing a great sound is as easy as turning the knobs and patching the cables.
Modules
6 processors + 2 modifier, each packs a punch
DELAY/MODULATION
Acousma
An analog tape delay with endless possibilities. It gives you a wide range of delay time and feedback to dial in. Pair it with a modifier, tons of sensational effects await.
HARMONIC
Charger
A vacuum tube inspired tone shaper. Saturate your sound for extra color and warmth, or distort it relentlessly. Tweak this beast with caution.
FILTER
Sweep
A classic ladder filter emulation. Do a nice and warm filter sweep, or pair it with an LFO for unpredictable auto-wah effects. Drive it a little, you'll love the warmth.
DYNAMIC
Pressure
A musical and versatile compressor with optional sidechain input. Its soft-knee design and unique gain reduction curve excel at tightening things ups and glue things together.
EQ

A colorful EQ module. Its adaptive curves react musically to the cutoff frequencies and the amount of your boost/cut. When pushed hard, Its tube amplification stage provides a warm and tube-y saturation instead of digital clipping.
UTILITY
Gain
A utility for gain staging. Don't let its simplicity fool you, plug in a modifier to its gain makes it a tremolo, or pan and it becomes an auto panner. Capable little unit.
MODIFIER
LFO
A beloved modifier. It acts like a robotic hand tweaking knobs for you following certain patterns. Connect it to a unit, a static sound becomes dynamic, it's that simple.
MODIFIER
EnvFollower
A super versatile envelope follower, it extracts amplitude envelope and transforms it into CV, great for transient shaping, sidechain filtering, or other program-dependent effects.
