Noise Engineering Pura Ruina 3-stage Full-wave Rectification Eurorack Module –
Distinctive Distortion for Eurorack Audio For all the possibilities afforded by Eurorack modular systems, signal chains have to end somewhere. While Pura Ruina isn’t purely an exit, synthesists at Sweetwater are in agreement that it’s a formidable force of audio annihilation that you’ll be hard-pressed to reel in once you hear what it can do. At just 8HP, Pura Ruina more than makes good on its Latin origins; “pure destruction” will seem tame. Built on the principle of full-wave rectification (FWR), the module is an absolute behemoth of aural decimation, serving up a distinctive brand of distortion that goes beyond the possibilities of typical wavefolding or clipping. You can use three stages of FWR successively or independently to elicit snarling textures with vibrant, complex harmonics.
