Nautilus is a complex delay network inspired by sub-nautical communications and their interaction with the environment. Essentially, Nautilus is a stereo delay consisting of 8 unique delay lines that can be connected and synchronized in interesting ways. Each time Nautilus pings its sonar system, the generated topography reveals itself through the delay, all while staying in time with the internal or external clock. Complex feedback interactions plunge sounds to new depths, while related delay lines pull fragments of sound in different directions. Further manipulate the delay lines by configuring the stereo receptors, sonar frequencies, and aquatic materials that filter the space between Nautilus and its surroundings.

Although Nautilus is fundamentally a delay effect, it is also a CV/Gate generator. The Sonar Output creates either a unique Gate signal or a unique CV signal algorithmically generated from Nautilus’s findings. Drive other parts of your patch with pings from the delay network, or use the generated topography as a modulation source.

From the deep ocean trenches to shimmering tropical reefs, Nautilus is the ultimate exploratory delay network.
