Create the sounds of your dreams with the intellijel Cascadia, an advanced performance-oriented semimodular synthesizer that delivers the power of a massive modular system in a small case with the footprint of a laptop. Cascadia has MIDI in/out/thru/USB, Eurorack compatible signal levels, and pro-level audio I/O to interface with the rest of your studio or get your studio started.

Packed with a mix of East and West Coast synthesis approaches, Cascadia's signal path is well-conceived and deep. But for those willing to dive even deeper, a plethora of new sounds are possible when you start rerouting signals using the many available patch points. For the ultimate flexibility, these patch points conform to the Eurorack standard, which allows you to further expand Cascadia's capabilities through the use of external modules.

Two Precision Analog VCOs
  • VCO A is Thru-zero FM-ready with a dedicated Index VCA, Sub Oscillator, PWM and Soft/hard sync
  • VCO B is a combo VCO/LFO with 4 simultaneous outputs
Six Channel Waveform Mixer
  • Two patchable (normaled) inputs
  • Noise generator with multiple algorithms
  • Optional asymmetric soft clipping on the mix output
Liquid-Sounding Cascaded 4-Pole Multimode Filter
  • Eight Modes: LP1, LP2, LP4, BP2, BP4, HP4, NT2, Phazor.
  • Additional dedicated outputs for LP4 and HP4.
  • Input Level Knob for fine control of filter input and resonance balance and added drive.
  • Multiple FM inputs and a QM input, all with attenuators.
Wavefolder Circuit
  • West-Coast-style parallel wavefolder.
  • Normaled into the auxiliary input on the VCA in parallel with the filter.
Dual Digital Envelopes
  • ENV A is a versatile east coast style ADSR/AHDSR envelope generator with a hold function and dynamic level/time control�normaled to the VCA to instantly shape your sound.
  • ENV B is a complex, multimode function generator with a West Coast style AR/ASR/Cycling AR, a beat-syncable LFO, and burst generator modes�normaled to the filter for instant FM without patching.
VCA A and Output Path
  • VCA A is a linear VCA with auxiliary input.
  • Global Output Mixer with overdrive circuit and by-passable asymmetric soft clipping.
Expansive Utilities Section
  • Sample and hold circuit with white noise normaled to the input
  • Slew/Envelope follower
  • Attenuverters/Mixer with multiple outputs
  • Triple triangle LFO with rate control, rate input and divided outputs
  • Triple buffered multiple
  • Precision adder
  • Signal inverter
  • Bi-polar > unity level shifter
  • Expression level control for modulation the TRS expression input on an FX pedal
  • Ring Modulator
  • VCA B / LPF (LPG)�auxiliary VCA and 4-pole diode ladder VCF combination for additional dynamics
Top Row
  • Easy to access Pitch, Gate, and Velocity CV inputs.
  • Pedal Send and Return FX loop with Wet/Dry control, phase inverter and Line/Pedal level switches.
  • Output Mixer with Overdrive.
  • Eurorack Level Main output with level control for interfacing with other modular gear.
Rear Panel
  • ¼� stereo headphone jack
  • ¼� balanced output jack
  • ¼� balanced input routed to a slider and output on the main panel for patching anywhere into Cascadia
  • ¼� TS pedal FX send return and ¼� TRS expression out
  • MIDI DIN In/Out/Thru and USB-MIDI all routed to the MIDI > CV Interface on the top panel
MIDI to CV Interface
  • MIDI Pitch / Velocity outputs and learn button
  • MIDI Gate / Trig outputs
  • MIDI CC / Mod: Learnable and assignable to any CC on any channel
  • MIDI LFO: Multimode LFO synced with MIDI or tap clock
  • MIDI CLK: Dividable MIDI clock with alternate tap clock functionality

Deeper MIDI configuration is available with the Intelljel Config App.

The normalization behind the panel allows for a ton of exploration without ever adding a patch cable; there are years of material to explore in Cascadia, and years more when you start patching. intellijel included everything you need to get started: 14 assorted patch cables, USB-A to USB-C cable, and an international power supply.
