In the spirit of the Taoist Internal Alchemy (Neidan 內丹), each module of my Intellijel 64 Palette is not just a tool — it is a living symbol. A manifestation of energies, processes, and transformations that reflect the journey of inner cultivation.

Here is how each module in my system plays a role in this symbolic alchemical process:

The Alchemical Symbols of the Modular

Modulaire Maritime — Klaviatura
→ Xing (性) — Innate Nature

• The Klaviatura represents pure intention (Yi 意) and the original impulse coming from the Void (Xu 虛).
• Each note played is like the first breath of pre-cosmic existence (Xiantian).

Ritual Electronics — Pointeuse
→ Jing (精) — Condensed Essence

• The Pointeuse sets the beat, the pulse — the condensation of primal energy into material rhythm.

VPME.de — ZeroScope
→ Zhen (真) — Reflection of the Real

• The oscilloscope is the mirror of the spirit, revealing invisible movements of the Qi (氣).

Ritual Electronics — Réseaux
→ Wuji (無極) and Taiji (太極) — The Primordial Matrix

• Réseaux represents the field of undifferentiated potential (Wuji) giving rise to polarity (Taiji).

Zlob — Dual VCO
→ Yin (陰) and Yang (陽) — The Dynamic Breath

• Two oscillators as Dragon and Tiger (Long 龍 and Hu 虎), endlessly circling each other in the dance of cosmic forces.

Noise Engineering — Clep Diaz
→ Hun (魂) — The Ethereal Soul

• Clep Diaz generates evolving, cycling patterns — the drifting spirit (Hun) seeking transformation.

Instruo — Tanh
→ Po (魄) — The Corporeal Soul

• Tanh shapes and tames the energy, grounding it into tangible, embodied form (Po).

Qu-Bit Electronics — Cascade
→ Qi (氣) — Circulating Breath

• Cascade moves, folds, and breathes, embodying the circulation of vital energy.

Meng Qi — Dual Low Pass Gate
→ Xing (性) and Ming (命) — Nature and Destiny

• The low pass gates naturally open and close, mirroring the balance between spontaneity (Xing) and life’s predetermined course (Ming).

Noise Engineering — Muta Jovis
→ Wu (無) — Active Emptiness

• Muta Jovis mutes and switches paths — the creative disappearance that allows new manifestations.

Instruo — TSL
→ Taiyi (太一) — The Primordial Unity

• TSL generates pure, primal forms, expressing the One before division.

Befaco — A*B+C
→ Zhong (中) — The Central Axis

• Multiplying, combining, and summing — it represents the central pivot where all forces balance and merge.

Qu-Bit Electronics — Prism
→ Guang (光) — The Radiance of Breath

• Prism refracts and delays, shaping sound into luminous textures — the dispersed light of refined Qi.

Instruo — Cuïr
→ Zhonghe (中和) — Harmonious Centering

• Cuïr brings levels into equilibrium, ensuring the return to centered harmony — a crucial state in inner alchemy.

Summary: An Alchemical Journey

My modular system is an alchemical map, allowing me to:

• Sow the original impulse (Klaviatura)
• Structure energy flow (Pointeuse, Réseaux)
• Animate cosmic forces (Dual VCO)
• Reflect and perceive (ZeroScope)
• Transform Qi (Cascade, Prism)
• Shape and embody (Tanh, Muta Jovis, Dual LPG)
• Balance the center (Cuïr, A*B+C)
• Return to Unity (TSL)

Every patch I build is a symbolic journey:
Transforming Essence (Jing), refining Breath (Qi), and giving birth to Spirit (Shen).
