INA grm GRM Tools
Software suite for creative sound processing.
The GRM Tools Complete Collection is an un-compared set of 18 amazing plug-ins that have been used by most renowned composers and sound designers around the world. Each GRM Tools plug-ins offers powerful and unique sound transformation and audio processing features. Conceived and crafted by the GRM Group (Groupe de Recherches Musicales) of the famous National Audiovisual Institute of Paris (France), GRM Tools Complete is the result of numerous years of research, experimentation and development.
Lead designer and developer. Full redesign and re-implementation in progress. (2021–)
4ms & Matthias Puech Ensemble Oscillator
Eurorack module, manufactured and commercialized by 4ms.
The Ensemble Oscillator is a unified polyphonic voice of sixteen complex oscillators combining additive, FM, phase-distortion and wavefolding synthesis techniques in new unorthodox ways. By quantizing the oscillators to scales or series of harmonics, the Ensemble Oscillator allows you to explore the sonic boundary between musical chords and rich evolving textures. Easily create a wide variety of sounds ranging from aggregates of pure sine waves to pulsar synthesis or pristine harmonic tones and lush wide chords to rich dirty drones and rumbling glitches. Custom scales can quickly be “learned” and saved using a CV keyboard or by manually entering notes with the controls.
Original concept; design with Dan Green (4ms); full C++ embedded firmware development. (2018–2019)

4ms & Matthias Puech Tapographic Delay
Eurorack module manufactured and commercialized by 4ms.
The Tapographic Delay is a complex multi-tap delay in the Eurorack format with a unique interface designed for live performance. It excels at transforming the simplest audio (a drone, a percussive sound) into complex rhythmic structures, meshes of organic textures, lush harmonic mille-feuilles, liquid and resonant effects. The Tapographic Delay is an expressive experimental instrument meant to be played in real-time, rather than a set-and-forget end-of-chain effect. Up to 32 taps per configuration, smooth morphing between configurations, two feedback paths, and much more.
Original concept; design with Dan Green (4ms); full C++ embedded firmware development (2016–2017).

Xaoc Devices Batumi
Eurorack module manufactured and commercialized by XAOC.
Batumi is a fully voltage controlled, quadruple digital LFO module with a slew of interesting and user-customizable features. Each oscillator can be used independently or in one of 3 synchronized modes: quadrature, phase and divide. For each oscillator, there are sine, square and assignable (saw, ramp, triangle and trapezoid) waveform otputs available. Voltage control is possible for each oscillator’s frequency, reset, and external sync (“tap tempo”).
Re-developed from scratch and improved upon the main firmware starting from the existing hardware; developed an alternative “expert” firmware for Xaoc Devices, adding advanced functionality. (2016)

Parasites for Mutable Instruments
Unofficial, alternative firmware for Eurorack modules designed, manufactured and commercialized by Mutable Instruments; changing the factory function and adding new features.
A parasite is an organism living in or on another, benefiting unilaterally from its host. Parasites is a series of free and open source alterative firmwares for the Eurorack modules from Mutable Instruments. Their purpose is to enhance existing features, and add new function and hidden modes, retaining as much as possible factory functionality.
