The user can dial in everything from microsound blips, to drawn out gongs, to screeching mutated beasts. When in looping mode the GMO can be viewed as a mutated VCO, combining the best elements of granular and wavetable synthesis. Its low resolution output means lots of side-band modulation, noise, and most importantly: character.

With the turn of a knob, the user can select which division of the incoming clock (BANG!) is output from the corresponding jack (all the way left: divide by 16, all the way right: divide by 1). Each channel is equipped with it's own mute switch, allowing the user to turn each individual sequence on and off while other channels keep chuggin' and clockin' along. Global swing can be controlled with the amoeba knob in the top right hand corner of the module. Beneath the amoeba, a global pulse width feature allows the user to  lengthen and shorten pulse length of all 6 channels at the same time. This feature is particularly useful when paired with the Muskrat \u0026amp; Kriket, or any other module that reacts proportionally to incoming pulse length. Last but not least, the RESET input will set all division counts back to zero to square up your groove. Each channel will be held HIGH as long as the incoming voltage is HIGH. This RESET capability allows you to get even more odd metered grooves as it is not dependent on the internal clock of MITØ.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll features on MITØ can be controlled with bipolar CV, allowing for a wide range of modularity and flexibility. When paired with the Deviant, each knob on the module becomes the anchor point of the groove. As the random voltages from Deviant shift around, creating rhythmic variations by adding and subtracting CV, the position of the knob will dictate how busy or relaxed the groove is. For playability sake, this patching approach is what led to the decision to have the pots as offsets rather than attenuators on MITØ.

In a performance setting when averaging is used, it often translates to the module taking a few pulses to calculate the overall clock speed.
