intellijel Cascadia Eurorack-Compatible Semimodular Synthesizer

Two Precision Analog VCOs

• VCO A is Thru-zero FM-ready with a dedicated Index VCA, Sub Oscillator, PWM and Soft/hard sync
• VCO B is a combo VCO/LFO with 4 simultaneous outputs

Six Channel Waveform Mixer

• Two patchable (normaled) inputs
• Noise generator with multiple algorithms
• Optional asymmetric soft clipping on the mix output

Liquid-Sounding Cascaded 4-Pole Multimode Filter

• Eight Modes: LP1, LP2, LP4, BP2, BP4, HP4, NT2, Phazor.
• Additional dedicated outputs for LP4 and HP4.
• Input Level Knob for fine control of filter input and resonance balance and added drive.
• Multiple FM inputs and a QM input, all with attenuators.

Wavefolder Circuit

• West-Coast-style parallel wavefolder.
• Normaled into the auxiliary input on the VCA in parallel with the filter.

Dual Digital Envelopes

• ENV A is a versatile east coast style ADSR/AHDSR envelope generator with a hold function and dynamic level/time control�normaled to the VCA to instantly shape your sound.
• ENV B is a complex, multimode function generator with a West Coast style AR/ASR/Cycling AR, a beat-syncable LFO, and burst generator modes�normaled to the filter for instant FM without patching.

VCA A and Output Path

• VCA A is a linear VCA with auxiliary input.
• Global Output Mixer with overdrive circuit and by-passable asymmetric soft clipping.

Expansive Utilities Section

• Sample and hold circuit with white noise normaled to the input
• Slew/Envelope follower
• Attenuverters/Mixer with multiple outputs
• Triple triangle LFO with rate control, rate input and divided outputs
• Triple buffered multiple
• Precision adder
• Signal inverter
• Bi-polar > unity level shifter
• Expression level control for modulation the TRS expression input on an FX pedal
• Ring Modulator
• VCA B / LPF (LPG)�auxiliary VCA and 4-pole diode ladder VCF combination for additional dynamics

Top Row

• Easy to access Pitch, Gate, and Velocity CV inputs.
• Pedal Send and Return FX loop with Wet/Dry control, phase inverter and Line/Pedal level switches.
• Output Mixer with Overdrive.
• Eurorack Level Main output with level control for interfacing with other modular gear.

Rear Panel

• ¼� stereo headphone jack
• ¼� balanced output jack
• ¼� balanced input routed to a slider and output on the main panel for patching anywhere into Cascadia
• ¼� TS pedal FX send return and ¼� TRS expression out
• MIDI DIN In/Out/Thru and USB-MIDI all routed to the MIDI > CV Interface on the top panel

MIDI to CV Interface

• MIDI Pitch / Velocity outputs and learn button
• MIDI Gate / Trig outputs
• MIDI CC / Mod: Learnable and assignable to any CC on any channel
• MIDI LFO: Multimode LFO synced with MIDI or tap clock
• MIDI CLK: Dividable MIDI clock with alternate tap clock functionality

Deeper MIDI configuration is available with the Intelljel Config App.

Ready to Play

The normalization behind the panel allows for a ton of exploration without ever adding a patch cable; there are years of material to explore in Cascadia, and years more when you start patching. intellijel included everything you need to get started: 14 assorted patch cables, USB-A to USB-C cable, and an international power supply.
