Ritual ElectronicsCrypta 1U Delay

Ritual Electronics Crypta

Unearth ethereal masses of musical memory with Crypta from Ritual Electronics, a 1U delay module that pushes a classic PT2399 chip into extreme territories. Reveling in the dirt to dredge up a vast range of time-based effects, Crypta offers a unique application of this classic delay chip, stretching delay time up to four seconds to derive glitched tones galore. On the other end of the spectrum, Crypta is equally capable of short delays, providing delay times down to twenty milliseconds. While the long delays offer a rare treat amidst a sea of conventional PT2399 implementations, Crypta is also optimized chorus, flanger, and tremolo-esque pitch bend techniques, opening up potential for all sorts of time-based timbral transformations.

Crypta's delay time is fully CV controllable, with an inline attenuator to focus in on those sweet spots. Additionally, manual controls for Feedback and Blend amount are available, introducing self-oscillation at feedback amounts over 90%. In classic Ritual Electronics style, the Poubelle switch invokes a Parisian refuse pile, instantly applying two flavors of circuit bends to the delay to unleash harsh saturation that growls and sputters in transcendent filth. Whether you're looking for a highly versatile effect or diving headfirst into the harsh noise zone, Crypta from Ritual Electronics readily resurrects your 1U row to reveal unique tones yet uncovered.
