gregsbrain LLC is a new modular company based in Portland, Oregon currently shipping our first commercial Eurorack module. xVox is a four-voice real-time pitch shifter. The module is 17HP wide with a 1.5-inch diagonal 128x128 pixel RGB OLED display. There are color-coded volt-per-octave and trigger inputs for each of the four voices. Six CV inputs, two of which are knobs, can be assigned to perform various modulation functions. xVox is available as a DIY kit and as a VCV Rack plugin, there are also a few assembled modules currently available.
