What is it?
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.
If you own a supported module, you can easily install these
firmwares. All you need is to play a .wav file into the
module: a laptop and a patch cable will do.
