What Is It?
Now with a photo sensor which alters the sound when you move your hand near it.
This is a bizarre sound generator, suitable for drones, odd sync sounds, and all manner of alternating tones. If you like the Korg Monotron Delay, you just might like this. It's messed up.
It has essentially 2 oscillators (one sync'd), intensity and a filter, plus some morphing controls. It's a bit mad.
Controls
- Frek 1 & 2 (frequency)
- Confusion
- Ramp
- Frek 1 Enable
- Medicate (filter)
- Relapse
- Hyper Boost
- Filter & V-Hyper
- Intensity
- Normal or L/R Hemisphere action (fine filter)
- Photo Sensor ON/OFF — interesting effect when covered with your hand
How Is It Powered?
- A 9 or 12V, 1–2 amp DC power supply (not supplied), tip positive
- Usually a 12V CCTV-type supply works fine — plenty available on eBay
- Version available with a quality RS-made UK 3-pin power supply
Important: Do not use guitar-effects-style 9V negative-tip supplies, or you will damage the unit.
Features
- Osc 2 rate LED
- 1/4" mono line out, designed for mixer use
- Vactrol-based design
- Great for sampling from
- Fun!
