With Antidote, Dreadbox skillfully takes up the rare topic of Karplus-Strong synthesis and makes it easy to use with manageable parameters. The heart of the module is the 512 Stages BBD chip. The short delay times are made playable with a lot of feedback, mutating into an oscillator with a metallic character. The delay circuit is excited by an internal tunable noise generator with variable decay envelope. Thanks to the external input, Antidote can also be used as an effects module. The bandwidth ranges from chorus and flanger variations to a comb filter effect.
