VHIKK X is a versatile experimental synthesiser in 24hp specialising in complex drones, basses, rich textures, dynamic sound effects, and stereo signal processing.

It combines sound generation and effects processing into a single module with multiple algorithms. Its compact and self-contained design makes it ideal for smaller modular systems or larger systems requiring a simplified sound source.

VHIKK X features 36 algorithms across 4 banks, including oscillator banks, atonal and textural synthesis, and external effects processing. The initial firmware includes a single bank inspired by the original Vhikk, with additional banks to come.

Key Features:

• 24HP
• 15mm depth below panel [power header is side-entry with a cutout in the main PCB]
• Current draw:   * +12V: 100mA   *  -12V: 10mA
• The audio path and all processing runs at 96kHz. Audio inputs and outputs are 24bit. CV inputs are 16bit scanned at 24kHz.
• CV/signal input voltage: 20Vpp - full param range clipped in software
• CV input impedance: 200kOhm
• Audio input clips at 20Vpp, gain from -inf dB [silence] to +30dB
• Audio input impedance: 30kOhm
• Audio output voltage: 18Vpp full scale with volume control [which silences the output at minimum value]
• Audio output impedance: 1kOhm
• Reverse polarity protected
• Both USB and Eurorack power can be connected concurrently
