The NyquistNightmare is a modulator/demodulator/filter Eurorack module. This is some audio of what it sounds like, using spoken vocals as a signal source.
The top two knobs control control how the incoming signal modulates a VCO with a carrier frequency of up to 60KHz. That modulated signal gets sent to a second VCO with the same range, and frequency-modulates that VCO. The result of the two VCOs interacting does strange things to the incoming audio, and can even be used as a signal source by itself, making modem-type noises.
The third row of knobs control the filters -- the first controls a non-resonant high-pass filter to remove the low frequency content. The middle knob is the cutoff of a low-pass resonant filter, and the knob on the right is the resonance, which starts self-oscillating past about 11 o'clock.
The bottom row of knobs are the wet/dry control, the attenuation of the VCF control voltage, and the volume of the effect signal.
There's an audio input, a control voltage input, and an output on the bottom.
I've found a glitch where the low-pass VCF locks up under certain situations, but it's easy to recover from, just confusing. If you have one of these and it suddenly stops making sound, turn the LPCutoff knob down past 12 o'clock it'll recover.
