#### Tone generator inspired by the Korg ER-1

!!! READ THIS !!! You may have problems running this via Snapcraft (non functional UI, no sound, clicking, degraded audio quality, etc), if so please download the binary or compile from source at; <https://github.com/mrbid/Borg-ER-3>

!!! Exported files now save to ~/EXPORTS/Borg\_ER-3/

Fixed-state modular synthesizer using FART oscillators, if you can hold back the chuckles for a moment stands for Frequency, Amplitude, Resolution, and Transformation oscillators, the resolution regards harmonic resolution and transformation regards the wave-shape being produced by the oscillator.

The envelope can be clicked and dragged into any shape, the biquads can be manually configured on a per coefficient basis, they are executed in sequential order so BIQUAD 1 executes first.

It's a fun little synthesizer and a spiritual reboot of the original Borg ER-2 which is a windows application: <https://github.com/mrbid/Borg-ER-2>

The long synopsis can be read here: <https://james-william-fletcher.medium.com/the-borg-er-3-46641d5784be>
