Intellijel Rainmaker
A 16-tap stereo spectral rhythm delay and comb resonator Eurorack module developed with Cylonix, announced at NAMM 2016.
Overview
The Intellijel Rainmaker is a Eurorack digital effects module, co-developed by Intellijel and Cylonix. It was announced at NAMM 2016. It is a 16-tap stereo spectral rhythm delay and comb resonator, built for complex audio processing in modular systems. Most parameters take CV, so external voltages can modulate nearly everything. There are two assignable modulation inputs and a trigger input. The trigger can start noise bursts, freeze or reverse the delay buffer, or randomize settings. Signal processing runs at 96kHz, 24-bit (32-bit internal), and the effects range from granular textures to resonant comb filtering. At launch it was noted as one of the more expensive Eurorack modules. It later entered a final production run, several years after release.

Design
The Rainmaker is a complex effects processor for Eurorack, with a stereo comb resonator and deep spectral manipulation. Most parameters can be controlled by external control voltages, either directly or through the assignable modulation inputs. Black attenuators sit above most of the inputs for shaping levels.
Market
One Rainmaker was offered secondhand for 600€, and there are reports of units being serviced by Intellijel after purchase. A final production run was confirmed, which adds to its collectible status. It is big and costly, but it is regarded as a worthy investment for advanced modular setups.
