  • Page 2: Warranty

    WARRANTY 1-year warranty is guaranteed from the product's purchase date in case of any manufacturing errors or other functional deficiencies during runtime. The warranty does not apply in case of:  damage caused by misuse  mechanical damage arising from careless treatment (dropping, vigorous shaking, mishandling, etc.) ...

  • Page 4: Connecting The Power

    INTRO In collaboration with Andrew Huang, based on his modern music production techniques we developed a creative audio processor with multiple blocks that can be moved around in order to achieve different flavors for sound design. GHOST is a fully digital stereo processing unit without a fixed structure in 16hp: intuitively create astonishing and ephemeral timbres, from atmospheric rumbles to heavily distorted textures.

  • Page 6: Front Panel Controls

    FRONT PANEL CONTROLS IN 1, IN 2 JACKS: stereo audio inputs, INPUT 1 (typically left) – is normalled, i.e. pre-routed  to INPUT 2 (right) when no audio cable is present on INPUT 2. Typical input audio level: eurorack modular +/-5V with maximum up to +/-9V when saturation starts with higher audio amplitude.
  • Page 7 DELAY TIME/DIV KNOB: manual control of the delay speed, from short audio rate repeats CCW and longer taps CW. When an external clock is present at the CLOCK IN jack, the knob acts as a divider / multiplier for this clock with the divisors written around the knob on the panel. TIME CV INPUT JACK: -5…+5V external CV control for the speed of the delay’s repetitions, follows 1v/oct tracking.
  • Page 8 button controls the AMOUNT OF PRE-DELAY for the reverb. Is summed with an external CV applied to the TAIL CV input jack. TAIL CV INPUT JACK: 0…+5V external CV input for the DECAY of the reverb. HOLD BUTTON: /REVERSE* primary function holds or freezes the reverb, allowing you to ‘hold’...
  • Page 9 SIDECHAIN KNOB: /ENV DEPTH* Sets the decay of the onboard envelope from zero (no envelope) to approx. 5 seconds. When turned while pressing the ROUTING /* button, this knob adjusts the depth of the envelope to the internal sidechain audio ducking effect. ENVELOPE OUTPUT JACK: 0…+5V envelope output triggered from TRIG IN jack.

  • Page 10: Tone Shaping

    TONE SHAPING TONE knob enables light tone shaping after initial pre-VCA with a light TILT EQ leaving more low frequencies at knob’s full CCW position, and leaving more high frequencies at knob’s full CW position. After that stage, the signal is passed to the main processing chain.

  • Page 11: Spatial Effects

    HINT: experiment with the audio chain order to fit your needs and find new and unexpected sounds with a push of a button. We advise exploring the routing chains and picking your favorite based on each situation. From our sound design experience with the module, the first routing chain is well suited to rumble/ghost sounds, the second is good for cleaner effects based on overdriving the filter, and the third will generally have the heaviest distorted tones.
  • Page 12 DELAY:   stereo delay with 1v/oct tracking, capable of Karplus-Strong synthesis. The delay can be synchronized externally via CLOCK IN, or by using the onboard TAP TEMPO BUTTON, with maximum delay time of 2.5 seconds. 3 configurations of delay taps are available, toggled between by holding the ROUTING button and short pressing the TAP button.

  • Page 13: Hold Button

    ADVANCED REVERB PARAMETERS ROUTING + TAIL KNOB:  sets the PRE-DELAY amount for the reverb, which is an important control that can add additional depth to your sounds, particularly useful when processing percussion. Full CCW knob position corresponds to no pre-delay and full CW position corresponds to maximum possible pre-delay time (up to 0.5 seconds).
  • Page 14 RESET In case you’ve tweaked everything so hard you’ve distorted signal main outputs, there is a soft reset that adjusts all advanced / secondary parameters to their default values, so you may start tweaking from the beginning. Press all four buttons simultaneously and hold them for more than 3 seconds. PATCH EXAMPLES ROUTING 1 KARPLUS-STRONG SYNTHESIS...
  • Page 15 LOW-END GROOVE A.K.A. TECHNO RUMBLE ROUTING 2 BASS Modern techno music is defined by a groovy low­end rumble which along with the kick  drum defines the key element of the style. Ghost can generate such rumble from any  transient sound or same kick applied into the audio inputs.   •  Set the ROUTING mode to the second order (DISTORTION• VCF• FX) when ROUTING  button is semi lit     •  Split your 909­style kick drum and apply it into AUDIO IN 1.   •  Set the DISTORTION and COMPRESSOR knobs to own taste, usually around 12  o’clock   •  Set the VCF filter type to normal LP/HP and set the filter FREQUENCY knob around 11  o’clock   •  Apply clock from your sequencer into CLOCK IN jack (typically expected in 16  notes)  and set the TIME/DIV knob to obtain desired repeats. Set DELAY DRY/WET and  REPEATS to own taste, usually both around 12 o’clock   •  Enable REVERSED REVERB by ROUTING + HOLD/reverse*. Set REVERB DRY/WET  and TAIL to your own taste until you obtain a whooshing sound. For proper groove set the  pre­delay amount by ROUTING + TAIL/preleday* to approx. 12 o’clock  ...

  • Page 16: Firmware Update

     •  Patch a variable waveform oscillator into the AUDIO IN 1, SAW and SQUARE waves  work best. Feed an additional envelope or LFO to the pre VCA input on the GHOST to  create movement. Patch the AUDIO OUT 1/2 to your mixer   •  Set DELAY DRY/WET to 80% with REPEATS around 30­40%, adjust the  REPEATS/tone* by pressing the ROUTING + REPEATS knob to around 13:00 ­ 14:00.  Sync the delay by sending a clock from your sequencer into the CLOCK IN and leave  TIME/DIV knob at 12:00   •  Set REVERB DRY/WET to 60% with a moderate TAIL amount at around 40%. Adjust  the PRE­DELAY by pressing the ROUTING + turning the TAIL/predelay* knob to  approximately 70­80%   •  Set DISTORTION to 20% and COMPRESSOR to 70% to bring in some noise   •  Send a PITCH sequence to the VCF CV input. COMB does not track 1v/oct, but this  allows you to highlight frequencies without doubling the amplitude of the fundamental of  the sound source. Set the FREQUENCY CUTOFF knob to 11:00 with VCF CV attenuverter  fully CW   •  Start the sequencer and listen how GHOST creates timbres on top of a steady oscillator   •  Patch another 1v/oct PITCH  CV signal to your oscillator and play around with the notes,  you will hear how new ghost harmonies appear, let them direct your next note.  FIRMWARE UPDATE Firmware updates are essential for any digital modules. They bring new features or bug fixes.
  • Page 17 5. Open the Ghost_Update_xxx.wav file with any audio player. Press play and wait 1,5+ minutes while the firmware is updating. Both CLIP and /ENV DEPTH LEDs will slowly blink during that procedure and a row of 4 buttons will show the approximate signal level as VU meter. 6.
