| Blocky Messiah is a circuitbent sampler using rough wavetable conversion. The chorus, vibrato, and tremolo (referenced from CT-BB01 basicbits) double as LFOs for other parameters. |

| Sampler |
|---|
![]() Load: loads a sample, automatically setting any loop points embedded within. Be wary of size, especially with stereo samples. Reset: resets the markers with the loop starting position at 50%. Ping-Pong: enables ping-ponging between loop markers. The joystick screen: with the bottom left corner as the minimum, X is block size, and Y is how much the block sample output modulates the phase of the wavetable. Only the latter is affected by the LFO port. Fade: fade between loop points. Crush: bitcrusher downsampling. Quantize: bit quantization. Can get pretty loud when patched. Fold: fold drive level. |
| Envelopes |
|---|
![]() Amplitude: ADSR and velocity sensitivity for the output volume. "Crunch" is bit depth. |
| Low-Frequency Oscillators |
|---|
![]() Rate: the speed of the Vibrato or Tremolo. Delay: adds a delay after note input. Exclusive to Vibrato and Tremolo. Wave: Vibrato/Tremolo waveform. Detune: detunes the Chorus. Invert: amount of Chorus inversion. Ratio: a multiplier for input pitch that goes to the Chorus. CV: level of each oscillator when it's patched. |
| Other stuff |
|---|
![]() Grunge + Bits: the level and downsampling of bitcrushing. The latter comes with an LFO port. Lofi: speaker emulation. Preset: preset load/save functions. Out: master output volume. |
