Thank you for purchasing Ritual Electronics Amnis. Limited warranty Ritual Electronics warrants this product to be free of defects in Your module has been assembled with care in our materials or construction for a period of one year from the date studio in Marseille, France. -
Page 4: Installation
“RED” text on the module. Do not touch any electrical terminals when attaching any Eurorack bus board cable. Amnis uses a 10-pin cable for power. The bigger 16-pin connector is used for expansions. See next page. Ritual Electronics Amnis requires:... -
Page 5: Overview
Overview Amnis is a shift register with a few tricks up its sleeves. It can be used as a generative sequencer for gates and CV, as a tunable digital noise source, as a random gate and CV generator, as the center of a chaotic system and more. -

Page 7: Shift Registers
Do not mix up Shift Register and Analog Shift Register! The latter is very different and while being very interesting in a musical context, it is not what Amnis is. Amnis is a digital shift Gate VIII register, it reads gates and outputs gates. -
Page 8: Linear Feedback Shift Registers
“classic” shift register. You won’t get long non repeating random sequeces Gate V with Amnis’ setup but using Gate VIII in the XOR input you get a reasonnable amount of randomness. Gate VI By patching some more you can go very random though. -
Page 9: Clock
Clock forward in time. This way you can align the Clock and the Data signals. If you don’t plan on using Amnis this way, leave the The more you increase the threshold the more delayed your clock will trimmer at 0 (fully CCW) as the delay compensation reduces the maximum speed of the clock. -
Page 10: Reset
Reset The Reset Input can be used to create shorter sequences or to empty the shift register bits As all other inputs the Reset Input can be driven with any signals thanks to its bult-in comparator. It also features a gate to trigger convertor. This way only the rising edge of the signal is used to reset instead of pausing the shift register for the length of the received gate. -
Page 11: Data
Data Data is a vague name for an input but we could not find better. First, it shows the digital nature of the shift register. Second, it does not specify the type of expected signal... as it can be any! It can be any signal but it will eventually end up being a gate. -
Page 12: Xor
Gate Outputs to allow longer pseudo random sequences. If you feed Amnis a single Gate in the Data input and XOR together Gates IV, V, VI & VIII you will have a 255 steps random sequence a.k.a. the longest pseudo random sequece you can obtain with an 8-bit linear feedback shift register. -
Page 13: Outputs
Outputs Amnis has three type of outputs. 8 Gate outputs, 3 staircase CV outputs and 1 smooth CV output. Gate Outputs Staircase CV Outputs Slewed CV Outputs They correspond to each bit of the The different CV outputs are mixed... -
Page 14: Expansion
EXPANSION HEADER Red stripe left The iconic Music Thing Modular Turing Machine and Amnis are both based around a shift register. Even though two very different modules, someone at Superbooth asked if I could make Amnis compatible with the expander systems... And I did, which is great to expand Amnis’... -

Patch notes The most basic patch to get thing running. A clock in Clock in. Anima, Ch.1 Trigger Out ------------ Amnis, Clock In Since the shift register only uses the rising edge of the clock, Anima, Ch. 2 Out ------------- Amnis, Data In a trigger is enough. - Page 16 Patch notes One more cable than the last patch and you got yourself an Anima, Ch.1 Trigger Out ------------ Amnis, Clock In LFSR. By patching the last gate output to the XOR input, the Anima, Ch. 2 Out ------------- Amnis, Data In...

- Page 21 Patch ideas Patch #7 - Ecosystem Amnis Amnis is a great module to be the heart of a living and breathing patch. As all our modules it loves to be in feedback Clock Gate I Gate I paths, and it adores to be self patched. You can get it to control everything and to have everything control it in return.
