Microcell is a Eurorack module designed for granular synthesis and other forms of digital effects processing. It is based on the Supercell module by Grayscale, which is an expanded version of Clouds by Mutable Instruments. Clouds was discontinued in 2017 but Supercell was released in 2018 with a more powerful microcontroller that enabled a number of additional features: stereo VCAs, input and output mutes, dedicated knobs for blend controls, internal CV randomization, and an auxiliary CV input for routing one control signal to all parameters. microcell shrinks the functionality of Supercell down to just 14hp (20hp smaller than Supercell and 4hp smaller than Clouds). The CV input attenuators are excluded but the functionality is otherwise identical.
Microcell ships with the expanded "SuperParasites" firmware which combines code from Mutable Instruments (original DSP), Matthias Puech (Clouds Parasites alternate firmware), and Julius Kammerl (Beat Repeat) into one powerful DSP library with eight processing modes available. This hybrid firmware was compiled by Patrick Dowling (of the Ornament & Crime team). Now you can access all eight processing modes without updating the firmware or recalibrating the module.
