4ms Ensemble Overview

Generate unbelievable sounds with the 4ms Ensemble Oscillator, a complex Eurorack oscillator designed in cooperation with Mathias Puech and features a unified polyphonic voice of 16 oscillators combining additive, FM, phase distortion, and wavefolding synthesis in new and unprecedented ways.

The Ensemble Oscillator can quantize the oscillators to a scale or series of harmonics, allowing you to explore the sonic boundary between music chords and rich evolving textures. Easily create a wide variety of sounds ranging from aggregates of pure sinewaves, to pulsar synthesis, pristine harmonic tones, and lush wide chords, to rich dirty drones and rumbling glitches. Custom scales can quickly be learned and saved using a CV keyboard or by manually entering notes with the controls. The Ensemble Oscillator ships with a ribbon power cable and mounting screws.

At a Glance
  • 16 sine-based oscillators bound to intervals of a selected Scale
  • 30 factory-programmed, user-writeable scales organized in three groups:
    • 12TET: all notes quantized to equal temperament
    • Octave: unquantized notes, repeating over octaves
    • Free: unquantized notes, repeating over the interval between the lowest and highest note
  • A simple method to program (learn) your own scales manually or with a CV/Gate keyboard
  • Three Twist phase-distortion effects
  • Three Warp wave-distortion effects
  • Three algorithms of Cross FM for modulating the oscillators with each other
  • Mono or stereo output with selectable panning algorithm
  • Freeze button and jack to freeze the frequency of some of the oscillators, with selectable algorithm
  • Two 1V/oct inputs: Pitch (unquantized), and Root (quantized)
  • High-accuracy, temperature-stable, eight-octave range (-2V to +6V), can be calibrated to any keyboard
  • Six bipolar CV inputs (-5V to +5V)
  • Two gate inputs for automated Learning and Freezing
