Citadel Alchemist is a patchable hybrid-synthesis based instrument that empowers you in discovering melodies and even harmonies despite being monophonic. Patch programmable sequencing via the control signals into the two PITCH MOD inputs opens up a world of melodic inspiration beyond classic arpeggios while staying in your preferred SCALE.
5 synthesis modes

The Alchemist has a carefully tuned wide timbral range spanning across 5 synthesis modes (FILTER, FM, HYPERSINE, SUPERSAW and GLITCHNOISE) accessed by main TIMBRE sweep that is refined by the RATIO control.

• The ENV macro knob affects different parts of the synth and sequencing engine to maximize musicality and it even lets you continually morph between the synthesis modes and access truly unique sounds.
• The timbral palette is further extended by the dual FX section which offers either a wide delay that will smear the arpeggios into echoed harmonies or a chorus-flanger-distortion-combfilter macro custom tuned for each synth mode.
• You can also access gliding rubber textures with the PITCH SLIDE macro that applies pitch envelope and portamento.
• You can customize the Alchemist's rhythms and scales with the web-based app.
• You can set the number of Sequencer steps in the web-based app as well. Beyond the classic lengths, you’ll find a whole constellation of options for lovers of polyrhythms and polymeters.
  

Like the previous Citadel modules, the Citadel Alchemist has a mirrored faceplate with the opposite side left blank for user labeling and customization — a feature we’re especially excited about as we partially open-source the Kastle 2 / Citadel platform, giving users more freedom to experiment. Core production, branding, and manufacturing elements remain proprietary, with full details to follow at launch.
