HEXtrusionizer
The Ultimate Circuit-Bent retro trashed home computer Synthesizer

Welcome to the HEXtrusionizer, a VST/AU plugin born from the digital remains of a hacked home computer. This is not a clean synthesizer. It is a living, breathing, and often angry machine designed for experimental noise, fat baselines,  and ambient textures.

The Sound of Chaos

The HEXtrusionizer is built to sound unstable and alive. Its core identity is defined by:

• Raw 8-bit Square Waves: Buzzy, hollow, and unapologetically retro.
  
• Digital Artifacts: Occasional crackles, aliasing, and pitch instability.
  
• Lo-fi Noise Floor: A constant faint hiss and hum, simulating bad grounding and dusty hardware.
  
• Aggressive Filters: Screaming, chirping sweeps that push the boundaries of "broken" in the best way possible.
  

Control Interface

The 6 Main Knobs

Located at the top of the synth, these control the core of the sound engine:

1. Master Tune
   Global pitch control. Be careful at the extremes—the pitch becomes increasingly unstable, perfect for dramatic drops.
   
2. Pulse Width
   Morphs the square wave from a thin, nasal tone to a fat, hollow buzz. Find the "sweet spot" for that classic chiptune shimmer.
   
3. Filter Cutoff
   A low-pass filter that ranges from a dull, muffled thud to screaming brightness. Expect some "scratchy pot" noise when turning this knob.
   
4. Resonance
   Emphasizes the cutoff frequency. At high settings, it enters self-oscillation, making the synth sound like it's whistling or about to break.
   
5. LFO Rate
   Controls the speed of modulation. Ranges from a slow, hypnotic wobble to audio-rate chaos that creates metallic, FM-like artifacts.
   
6. Glitch / Data Bend
   Taps into the hacked digital lines.
   

• Low: Subtle digital grit.
  
• High: Unpredictable stutters, bit crashes, and pseudo-random tones.
  

The 2 DIY Switches

These clunky toggles provide dramatic shifts in the synth's behavior:

Wave Select (Square ↔ Noise)

• Square: Keeps it melodic and classic.
  
• Noise: Turns the machine into a harsh percussion generator.
  

Chaos Mode (Off ↔ On)
Engages the circuit-bent routing. Expect random pitch jumps, frozen notes, and digital sputtering. The machine might even "lock up" until you touch a knob to snap it back to reality.

The Secret Slider

Release
Located near the right side of the panel, this controls the envelope release time. Dragging it adds a satisfying "crackle" to the sound, as if you're adjusting a dusty internal component.

Interactive Playability

The Piano Keyboard

The keys on the photo are fully interactive. Click and drag across the white and black keys to play the synth directly.

• White Keys: Glow with a warm amber light when played.
  
• Black Keys: Glow with a deep blue light when played.
  

The ZX Function Buttons

The four leftmost black square buttons on the far left of the synth body are mapped to custom voice samples:

1. Button 1: "Ehyeh"
   
2. Button 2: "Yawhe"
   
3. Button 3: "Ahdonai"
   
4. Button 4: "Shadai"
   

These samples are routed through the synth's filters and glitch modules, allowing you to mangle them just like the oscillator.
