About “Rummage”
Rummage is a unique Biodata Eurorack Module that acts like a plant whisperer. By connecting it to a plant or any biological entity, Rummage captures the tiny electrical signals generated by the plant using a galvanometer. It then translates these signals into a trio of Note CV and Gate outputs, a raw PWM Biodata square wave, a wobbly CV output, and even a MIDI out, creating a fascinating blend of nature and music. This module allows you to bring the organic rhythms of the natural world into your modular setup, creating a truly botanical boogie.
