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.
CONNECTING THE POWER Before installing a new module in your case, ensure your power supply has a free power header and sufficient available capacity to power the module. Connect the module directly to the power bus-board with supplied 10-16 ribbon cable like any other eurorack module.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. 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.

11. DELAY KNOB: manual control of the DRY/WET MIX OF THE DELAY effect, acts as attenuator for DRY/WET CV jack (10). When DELAY knob is fully wet (CW), no dry signal passes anymore. 12. REPEATS KNOB: /tone* manual control over REPEATS or FEEDBACK level of the delay.

STEREO: left and right inputs tap independently in their corresponding left and right outputs. In this mode the total delay time is halved (three blinks when enabled) 18. CLOCK IN JACK: 0…+5V external input for the clock that sets the TEMPO of the delay.

activated, the button is semi-lit, shown by the symbol under it: . A second press on the button switches back to the LP/HP filter (button unlit). 26. RESONANCE KNOB: manual control over the RESONANCE OF THE FILTER ; is summed with the external CV applied to the RESONANCE CV input jack (27).
maintain its amplitude. Firmware v2.0 addition: secondary function in combination with ROUTING /* button controls the GLOBAL DRY/WET MIX between the clean input signal after the IN GAIN (pre-VCA) at full CCW and the final processed audio chain output before the Volume knob (before post-VCA) at full CW.
ROUTING DISTORTED REALITY The power of the GHOST lies in its complex stereo audio effect chain with 96kHz, 32-bit internal audio processing, consisting of 2 VCAs (pre and post), 3 distortion stages, a multimode filter with bitcrusher on the end, delay, reverb, compressor, and sidechain ducking envelope.
THREE FLAVORS OF DISTORTION /GAIN: digital input gain (3) capable of up to 10x digital signal amplification with light saturation, adjusted with ROUTING + TONE/gain* DISTORTION: 8x oversampled distortion algorithm with a single (8) knob control /DRIVE: final output saturator when VOLUME (34) is pushed to the end of its range after 3 o’clock as indicated around the knob on the panel THREE FLAVORS OF FILTER...
field simultaneously with the amount of TAIL reverb knob (21). This feature is best audible on true stereo signals processed with the GHOST. Both delay and reverb have advanced secondary parameters and modes that can be accessed by pressing the ROUTING button (16) in combination with either a knob or another button.
ROUTING + TAP BUTTON: switches the way the delay taps are distributed (hard panned) in the stereo OUTPUTS 1/2. When certain mode is enabled, the TAP button blinks once – the taps appear on OUTPUTS 1 and 2 in an LRLR pattern.
FW V2.0 REVERB DRY/WET KNOB AFTER 13 O’CLOCK shimmered signal is added from turning that knob after the noon till full CW position. ROUTING + FREEZE BUTTON: switches the reverb to the REVERSE algorithm, particularly useful for obtaining whooshing sounds by processing kicks, snares, pads, vocals and so on, giving you an extra dimension of movement.
FW V2.0 PARAL·LEL PROCESSING Global dry/wet can be accessed via ROUTING + VOLUME/drive – that combo sets the mix between the input signal after the IN GAIN (before pre-VCA) at full CCW and the final audio chain output before the VOLUME (before post-VCA) at full CW. RESET In case you have tweaked everything so hard you have distorted signal main outputs, a soft reset adjusts all advanced / secondary parameters to their default...
Set REPEATS to maximum with TIME/DIV delay time turned fully CCW. Moderately adjust DELAY DRY/WET to the 12 o’clock Feed any audio to the GHOST audio inputs to start up the Karplus-Strong sound generation. You will hear a strong recirculating oscillator sound of approximate C4 note (~261 Hz).
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 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.
(flight mode) so that the update is not interrupted. Power OFF your modular system Unplug all the cables from GHOST except a simple mono or stereo cable connecting the audio output from your computer headphones output to the AUDIO IN 1 input of the module...
