Foreword
“No, sir; it is evidently a gigantic narwhal.” ― Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas
If I had to choose a desert island effect, it would certainly be a delay.
Nothing else offers the transformative powers that delays do. It is almost
supernatural, this ability to transform a single note into a compelling
musical event. Sometimes, it feels like cheating, doesn’t it?
My own experience with delay processors in a modular environment started with
a very simple BBD unit. The only controls were rate and feedback, and yet, I
used that module to greater purposes than almost the rest of my rack combined.
This module also contained a behavior unique to BBDs which proved very
influential in my life; you could “break” it in musical ways. When you push a
BBD’s rate control to its largest setting, the leaky capacitor stages will
open up a new world of grit, noise, and unexplainable cacophony.
As a SCUBA diver, I am fascinated by things that live in the ocean. And as
someone who works with sound each day, the ability of marine mammals to use
audio signals to experience their world through echolocation is truly mind
blowing. What if we could model this behavior digitally, and apply it to
musical purposes in the hardware domain? That is the question which inspired
the Nautilus. It was not an easy question to answer, and we had to make some
subjective choices along the way (what does kelp sound like?), but the end
result was something that transported us to new dimensions of sound and
changed our conceptions of what a delay processor could be
Bon voyage!
Happy Patching,

Description
Nautilus is a complex delay network inspired by sub-nautical communications and their interaction with the environment. In essence, Nautilus consists of 8 unique delay lines which can be connected and synced in interesting ways. Each time Nautilus pings its sonar system, the generated topography reveals itself through the delay, all while staying in time with the internal or external clock. Complex feedback interactions plunge sounds to new depths, while related delay lines pull fragments of sound in different directions. Manipulate the delay lines even further by configuring the stereo receptors, sonar frequencies, and aquatic materials that filter the space between Nautilus and its surroundings.
Though Nautilus is a delay effect at heart, it is also a CV/Gate generator. The Sonar Output creates either a unique Gate signal, or a unique CV signal algorithmically created from Nautilus’s findings. Drive other parts of your patch with pings from the delay network, or use the generated topography as a modulation source.
From the deep ocean trenches, to shimmering tropical reefs, Nautilus is the ultimate exploratory delay network.
- Sub-Nautical Complex Delay Processor
- Ultra low noise floor
- 8 Configurable delay lines with up to 20 seconds of audio each
- Fade, Doppler and Shimmer delay modes
- Sonar envelope follower / gate signal output
Module Installation
To install, locate 14HP of space in your Eurorack case and confirm the
positive 12 volts and negative 12 volts sides of the power distribution lines.
Plug the connector into your case’s power supply unit, keeping in mind that
the red band corresponds to negative 12 volts. In most systems, the negative
12 volt supply line is at the bottom.
The power cable should be connected to the module with the red band facing the
bottom of the module.

Functions
The Knobs (and a button)
LED UI
The LED user interface is the primary visual feedback between you and
Nautilus. It mediates a host of settings in real time to keep you in your
patch, including Resolution position, Sensor amounts, Depth position, Chroma
effect, and more!
Each section of the Kelp UI will ping in sync with Nautilus’s different delay
lines and clock pulses, creating a swirling, hypnotic light show providing
information in real time.
Mix
The Mix knob blends between the dry and wet signal. When the knob is fully
CCW, only the dry signal is present. When the knob is fully CW, only the wet
signal is present.
Mix CV input range: -5V to +5V
Clock Input / Tap Tempo Button
Nautilus can either operate using an internal or external clock. The
internal clock is determined via the Tap Tempo button. Simply tap along to
whatever tempo you desire, and Nautilus will adjust its internal clock to your
taps. Nautilus requires at least 2 taps to determine a clock rate. The default
internal clock rate at boot up is always 120bpm.
For external clocks, use the Clock In gate input to sync Nautilus with your
primary clock source, or any other gate signal. The clock rate is indicated by
the Kelp base LEDs. You will notice that the clock LED blip is also affected
by other knobs on the module, including Resolution, Sensors, and Dispersal. We
dive deeper into the clock interactions within each of these sections!
Absolute minimum and maximum clock rate range: 0.25Hz (4 seconds) to 1kHz (1
millisecond)
Clock In gate input threshold: 0.4V
Resolution
Resolution determines the division or multiplication of the clock rate,
and applies it to the delays. The div/mult range is the same for both internal
and external clocks, and is listed below:
Resolution CV Input Range: -5V to +5V from the knob position.
Each time a new resolution position is selected, the Kelp LED UI will flash white indicating you are in a new division or multiplication of the clock signal.
Feedback
Feedback determines how long your delay will echo out into the ether. At its
minimum (knob is fully CCW), the delay only repeats once, and at its maximum
(knob is fully CW) will repeat indefinitely. Take care, as infinite repeats
will cause Nautilus to eventually get loud!
Feedback Attenuverter: Attenuates and inverts the CV signal at the Feedback CV
input. When the knob is fully CW, no attenuation occurs at the input. When the
knob is at the 12 o’clock position, the CV input signal is fully attenuated.
When the knob is fully CCW, the CV input is fully inverted. Range: -5V to +5V
Did You Know? Nautilus’s attenuverters are assignable to any CV input on the
module, and can even become their own functions! Learn how to configure the
attenuverters by reading the USB section of the manual.
Feedback CV Input Range: -5V to +5V from the knob position.
Sensors
Sensors controls the amount of delay lines active in Nautilus’s delay network.
There are a total of 8 delay lines available (4 per channel) that can be used
to create complex delay interactions from a single clock input. When the knob
is fully CCW, only 1 delay line per channel is active (2 total). When the knob
is fully CW, 4 delay lines per channel are available (8 total).
As you turn up the knob from CCW to CW, you will hear Nautilus add the delay
lines to its signal path. The lines will be fairly tight initially, firing in
quick succession each hit. The Kelp LEDs will flash white each time Sensors
are added or removed from the delay network. To open up the delay lines and
reach their full potential, we have to take a look at the next function in the
manual: Dispersal.
Sensors CV Input Range: -5V to +5V
Dispersal
Going hand in hand with Sensors, Dispersal adjusts the spacing between the
delay lines currently active on Nautilus. The spacing amount is heavily
dependent on available delay lines and resolution, and can be used to create
interesting polyrhythms, strums, and cacophonies of sound from a single voice.
When only 1 Sensor is active, Dispersal offsets the left and right delay
frequencies, acting as a fine tune for the delays.
Dispersal Attenuverter : Attenuates and inverts the CV signal at the
Dispersal CV input. When the knob is fully CW, no attenuation occurs at the
input. When the knob is at the 12 o’clock position, the CV input signal is
fully attenuated. When the knob is fully CCW, the CV input is fully inverted.
Range: -5V to +5V Did You Know? Nautilus’s attenuverters are assignable to any
CV input on the module, and can even become their own functions! Learn how to
configure the attenuverters by reading the USB section of the manual
Dispersal CV input range: -5V to +5V
Reversal
Reversal controls which delay lines within Nautilus are played backwards.
Reversal is much more than a simple on/off knob, and understanding the whole
of the delay network will open up its full potential as a powerful sound
design tool. With one Sensor selected, Reversal will range between no reversed
delays, one reversed delay (left channel), and both delays reversed (left and
right channel).
As Nautilus adds delay lines using Sensors, Reverse instead incrementally
reverses each delay line, with zero reversals on the far left of the knob, and
every delay line reversing on the far right end of the knob.
The reversal order is as such: 1L (first delay line in the left channel), 1R
(first delay in the right channel), 2L, 2R, etc.
Note that all reversed delays will remain reversed until you bring the knob
back below its spot in the range, so if you are setting Reversal above the
“both 1L and 1R” position, those delay lines will still be reversed. The
graphic below illustrates reversal when all delay lines are available:
Reversal CV input range: -5V to +5V
Note: Due to the nature of the internal algorithms driving the Nautilus
feedback network, reversed delay lines will repeat 1 time before pitch
shifting in Shimmer and De-Shimmer modes.
Chroma
Much like the Corrupt knob found on Data Bender, Chroma is a selection of
internal effects and filters that emulate the sonic passage through water,
oceanic materials, as well as mimic digital interference, damaged sonar
receptors, and more.
Each effect is applied independently within the feedback path. What does this
mean? It means that one effect can be applied to a single delay line and will
exist for said delay line’s duration, while an entirely separate effect can be
placed on the next delay line. This allows for complex effect layering within
the feedback path, perfect for building huge textural spaces from a single
sound source.
Chroma effects are indicated by the Kelp base LEDs, and are color coordinated.
See the next page to learn about each effect and their corresponding LED
color! To better understand how to use Chroma’s effects, we recommend reading
the Depth section next!
Chroma CV input range: -5V to +5V
Oceanic Absorption
A 4-pole lowpass filter for dampening the delay signal. When Depth is fully CCW, no filtering is occurring. When Depth is fully CW, maximum filtering is occurring. Indicated by a blue Kelp base.
White Water
A 4-pole highpass filter applied to the delay signal. When Depth is fully
CCW, no filtering is occurring. When Depth is fully CW, maximum filtering is
occurring. Indicated by a green Kelp base.
Refraction Interference
A collection of bit-crushing and sample-rate reduction. Depth knob scans
range of set of varying amounts of each effect. Indicated by a purple Kelp
base.
Pulse Amplification
A warm, soft saturation applied to the delays. When Depth is fully CCW, no
saturation is occurring. When Depth is fully CW, maximum saturation is
occurring. Indicated by an orange Kelp base.
Receptor Malfunction
Applies a wavefolder distortion to the inputted audio. When Depth is fully
CCW, no wavefolding is occurring. When Depth is fully CW, maximum wavefolding
is occurring. Indicated by a cyan Kelp base.
SOS
Applies heavy distortion to the inputted audio. When Depth is fully CCW, no
distortion is occurring. When Depth is fully CW, maximum distortion is
occurring. Indicated by a red Kelp base.
Depth
Depth is the complementary knob to Chroma, and controls the amount of the
chosen Chroma effect applied to the feedback path.
When Depth is fully CCW, the Chroma effect is off, and will not be applied to
the buffer. When Depth is fully CW, the maximum amount of the effect is
applied to the active delay line. The only exception to this knob range is the
variable bit-crusher, which is a fixed set of random amounts of lo-fi, bit-
crushed, and sample rate-reduced settings.
Depth amount is indicated by the Kelp LEDs, as more Depth is applied to the
Chroma effect, The Kelp LEDs slowly change into the Chroma effect color.
Depth CV input range: -5V to +5V
Freeze
Freeze locks the current delay time buffer, and will hold it until
released. While frozen, the wet signal acts as a beat repeat machine, letting
you change the Resolution of the frozen buffer to create new interesting
rhythms out of the delays, all while staying perfectly synced with the clock
rate.
The frozen buffer length is determined by both the clock signal, and the
Resolution rate at the time for freezing the buffer, and has a maximum length
of 10s.
Freeze Gate input threshold: 0.4V
Delay Modes
Pressing the Delay mode button selects between 4 unique delay types. Just as we use varying underwater acoustic instruments to map, communicate, and navigate the aquatic world, Nautilus carries a set of powerful tools to re- evaluate how you experience the generated delays.
Fade
The Fade delay mode seamlessly cross-fades between delay times, whether changing the external or internal clock rate, the resolution, or the dispersal. This delay mode is indicated by a blue LED graphic above the button.
Doppler
The Doppler delay mode is the vari-speed delay time variant of Nautilus,
giving you
the classic pitch shift sound when changing delay times. This delay mode is
indicated by a green LED graphic above the button.
Shimmer
The Shimmer delay mode is a pitch shifted delay, set to one octave above the
input signal. As the shimmer delay continues to loop through the feedback
path, the delay frequency increases as it slowly fades away. This delay mode
is indicated by an orange LED graphic above the button.
Did You Know? You can change the semitone that Shimmer pitch shifts your delay
to. Create fifths, sevenths, and everything in between using the settings app
and USB drive. Head to the USB section to learn more.
De-Shimmer
The De-Shimmer delay mode is a pitch shifted delay, set to one octave below
the input signal. As the de-shimmered delay continues to loop through the
feedback path, the delay frequency decreases as it slowly fades away. This
delay mode is indicated by a purple LED graphic above the button.
Did You Know? You can change the semitone that De-Shimmer pitch shifts your
delay to. Create fifths, sevenths, and everything in between using the
settings app and USB drive. Head to the USB section to learn more.
Feedback Modes
Pressing the Feedback mode button selects between 4 unique feedback delay paths. Each mode brings different functionality and characteristics to the delays.
Normal
The Normal feedback mode has the delays match the stereo characteristics of
the input signal. For example, if a signal is sent to only the left channel
input, the delay will only be in the left channel output. This mode is
indicated by a blue LED graphic above the button.
= audio’s stereo position
Ping Pong
The Ping Pong feedback mode has the delays bounce back and forth between the
left and right channel, with respect to the audio input’s initial stereo
characteristics.
For example, a hard panned input signal will bounce back and forth wider in
the stereo field versus a more “narrow” input, and a mono signal will sound
mono. This mode is indicated by a green LED graphic above the button
= audio’s stereo position How to Ping Pong a Mono Signal : Since Nautilus has an analog normalization at the inputs, the left channel input signal is copied to the right channel when no cable is present in the right channel input. There are a couple options to use this mode with a mono signal.
- Insert a dummy cable into the right channel, this will break the normalization and your signal will enter the left channel only.
- Send your mono audio input into the right channel input. The right channel does not normalize to the left channel, and will sit in the right channel while the delay pans left and right.
Another way to “stereo-ize” your mono signal is to use Dispersal, which offsets the left and right delay lines from one another, creating unique stereo delay patterns!
Cascade Cascade feedback mode literally turns Nautilus into the Qu-Bit
Cascade… Gotcha. In this mode, the delay lines feed into one another in
serial. What does this mean? It means that each delay in their respective
stereo channel feeds into the next one, looping back to the first delay line
at the end.
Cascade mode can be used to create incredibly long delay times. Depending on
certain settings, Nautilus can achieve up to 80 second delays in this mode.
Adrift Adrift feedback mode is a combination of both Ping Pong mode and
Cascade mode. Each delay line feeds into the next delay line on the opposite
stereo channel. This leads to a sort of meandering delay line that can create
interesting stereo surprises.
You never quite know what sound is going to pop up where.
Sensors and Cascade/Adrift modes : Sensors takes an additional function
on when in either Cascade or Adrift mode. When Sensors is set to the minimum,
these modes only send the first delay lines of each channel to the wet signal
output. As you bring Sensors up, each time delay lines are added, Cascade and
Adrift modes include the new delay line outputs to the wet signal output.
For a visual explanation, imagine that, when you turn up Sensors to 2, new
lines from the 2L and 2R boxes in the above graphics connect from both boxes
to their respective signal output lines next to them.
Here’s a fun patch to show this interaction: Patch a simple, slow arpeggio
into Nautilus. Set delay mode to Shimmer, and set Feedback mode to either
Cascade or Adrift. Resolution and Feedback should be at 9 o’clock. Turn
Sensors up to 2. You will now hear the pitch shifted 2nd delay line. Turn
Sensors up to 3. You will now begin to hear the pitch shifted 3rd delay line,
which is 2 octaves up from the original. Same goes for setting Sensors to 4.
Turn up feedback to hear the additional outputs better if needed!
Purge ****Pressing the Purge button clears all the delay lines from the
wet signal, similar to purging ballasts on a ship or submarine, or purging a
regulator while diving. Purge activates when the button is pressed/the gate
signal goes high.
Purge gate input threshold: 0.4V
Sonar
Sonar is a multifaceted signal output; a collection of Nautilus’s sub-
nautical findings and interpretations of the aquatic world. In essence, the
Sonar output is a set of algorithmically generated signals designed by
different aspects of the delays. By analyzing overlapping delay pings and
delay time phases, Nautilus creates an ever evolving stepped CV sequence. Use
Sonar to self patch Nautilus, or to control other patch points in your rack! A
staff favorite is running Sonar out into Surface’s Model input!
Did You Know? You can change Sonar’s output using the Nautilus Configurator
tool and the USB drive onboard. Sonar can be a ping generator based on the
delay taps, an additive stepped CV sequencer based on the overlapping delays,
or simply a clock pass through. Head to the USB section to find out more!
Sonar CV output range: 0V to +5V
Sonar Gate output amplitude: +5V. Gate Length: 50% duty cycle

USB/Configurator
The Nautilus USB port and included USB drive are used for firmware updates, alternate firmwares, and additional configurable settings. The USB drive does not need to be inserted in Nautilus for the module to operate. Any USB-A drive will work, as long as it is formatted to FAT32.
Configurator
Effortlessly change Nautilus USB settings using Narwhal, a web-based
settings app that let’s you change a multitude of functions and
interconnectivity within Nautilus. Once you have your desired settings, click
the “generate file” button to export an options.json file from the web app.
Place the new options.json file onto your USB drive, insert it into Nautilus,
and your module will instantly update its internal settings! You’ll know the
update is successful when the Kelp base flashes white.
Head To The Narwhal
These are the current settings available in the Configurator. More configurable settings will be added in future updates

Patch Example
Slow Shimmer Delay
Settings
Resolution: Dotted Half, or longer
Feedback: 10 o’clock
Delay Mode: Shimmer
Feedback Mode: Ping Pong
Turning on Shimmer for the first time can lead to some powerful, and
impressionable results. With bright, ramping pitch shifted delays, faster
clock rates can easily overpower the sound. If you are looking to take shimmer
in a different direction, we recommend slowing things down a bit.
Not only slowing down your Resolution, but also your input signal. Having a
simpler, slower sound source opens up more room for the beautiful shimmer
delay to shine through. If the pitch shifting is getting too high up there as
well, dial back Feedback, or try the Cascade and Adrift Feedback modes to
lengthen the delay times.
Quick Tip: Try different semitones for varying pitch shifting, and rhythmic
results. Also, using an “unreliable”clock source, such as a gate signal with
subtle frequency variations, can introduce pleasant pitch flutters in the
delay
Glitch Delay
Modules Used
Random CV/Gate source (Chance), Nautilus
Settings
Resolution: 9 o’clock
Delay Mode: Fade
Feedback Mode: Ping Pong
Freeze Behavior: Default
With Nautilus’s Freeze behavior, our sub-nautical delay network can easily
take its complex delay rhythms and lock them into a beat repeat/glitch state.
And, in Fade mode, Nautilus can create additional delay time rhythms using
Resolution and random CV, seamlessly changing between delay frequencies.
Need to dial back the incoming CV? You can assign either of the Attenuverter
knobs to the Resolution CV input to get just the right amount of variation for
your patch!

modulation sources, why not let Nautilus modulate itself? Using a signal
splitter, we can patch the Sonar output to multiple spots on Nautilus. Want to
dial back the modulation on some of the patch points? Assign the Attenuverters
to wherever you see best. We personally love assigning them to Resolution,
Reversal, or Depth!

Depth: 100%
All aboard! This fun sound design patch involves fast clocks and faster
delays, and really showcases the delay time range on Nautilus! Your clock
signal should be pushing audio rate for this patch to work. If you have a
Bloom, matching the Rate knob above should do the trick.
With the above Nautilus settings, you should hear nothing. The trick is to
turn down Depth to blow the train whistle. And, depending on your sound
source, you can hear the faint chugging of the train on the tracks prior to
the whistle.
Aurora is not necessary for this patch, but it’s pretty awesome to take your
Train whistle and spectrally mangle it into a haunting space horn!
