"Tastes like paper."
Manis Iteritas is a 10HP voice based on the architecture of Basimilus Iteritas,
but designed to be more gritty and aggressive. It accomplishes this by using
only sawtooth waves that are manipulated, modulated, and distorted through a
rethought interface. Manis is suitable for leads, bass lines, drums, darkness,
detuned madness, or pure mayhem.

  • Page 1 “Tastes like paper.” - Portrait XO Manis Iteritas is a 10HP voice based on the architecture of Basimilus Iteritas, but designed to be more gritty and aggressive. It accomplishes this by using only sawtooth waves that are manipulated, modulated, and distorted through a rethought interface.
  • Page 2 Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas Gross, gritty, and dark industrial-Strength Voice Interface Pitch e Pitch encoder knob and CV input adjusts the pitch of the fundamental oscillator. Default is ne mode: steps are sub-perception so MI is difficult to bump out of tune. Push and turn for coarse adjustment: each step is a semitone.

    In Metal mode there are phase modulated oscillator/envelope chains. Metal mode differs in Manis Iteritas by having two sets of three sequentially modulated oscillators rather that one set of six. Metal mode also waveshapes the output of the oscillators by summing two sawtooths of the...

Voltage Supply Manis Iteritas can run its processor on the 5V eurorack power rail to reduce noise and load on the 12V bus. Gently push the switch tab in the direction of the desired rail to use.
  • Page 7 Genesis and Design Notes Genesis and Design Notes Manis Iteritas came of a suggestion by two friends of Noise Engineering: Matt Lange and Anthony Baldino. e original idea was for an alternate rmware for the original Basimilus Iteritas that would be unapologetically aggressive.

    Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas Gross, gritty, and dark industrial-Strength Voice Manis Conservation Manis is Latin for ghosts of the dead, which is a pretty good descriptor for the sounds we get out of that beast...but it is also part of the scienti c name for a critically endangered scaly mammal from Asia called a pangolin.
