Herbs and Stones Soft Memo is a desktop hybrid stereo multieffect that combines digital algorithms with analog circuits to deliver a deep and highly manipulatable sonic experience. Designed for immediate, menu-less use, it allows you to shape sound in real time through patches and modulations.

Hybrid multi-effect for advanced sound design

Soft Memo integrates eight digital FX programs ranging from delay, reverb, pitch shifting, chorus and ring modulation. Each effect can be radically transformed using analog feedback paths, creating complex and ever-changing textures.

Modular integration and creative patching

With 25 Eurorack-compatible patch points, the device can be easily integrated with synthesizers, sequencers and modular systems. Inputs work in the 0-5V range and are protected, while controls become attenuators when receiving CV signals.

Analog feedback and sound modeling

The two analog feedback paths include VCA and VCF resonant filters, allowing you to sculpt the behavior of digital effects and achieve unique results, from ethereal environments to extreme distortion.

Complex LFOs and dynamic modulations

Two voltage-controlled LFOs offer advanced modulations with clock division and phase control. Built-in envelope follower allows you to derive modulations directly from the audio signal.

8 FX programs for sonic creativity

Soft Memo includes a selection of algorithms designed for deep sound explorations:

• Twin Gorge: dual drifting delay
• Faux Mirrors: reverse lo-fi processor
• Empty Shell: shimmering feedback delay
• Fixed Thoughts: freeze reverb with pitch
• Grotto Divide: stereo crossfade reverb
• Rival Choir: creative stereo chorus
• Mood Swings: stereo modulated pitch shifter
• Late Rings: dual stereo ring modulator

Instant control and live performance

With its hands-on approach and direct controls, Soft Memo is perfect for seamless live performance and sound design. The A→B buttons allow you to define the interaction between the two stereo channels intuitively.
