"Voltage-controlled 8-bit sampler/audio buffer.This circular sample buffer enables digital harvest of external audio, with fine control over loop playback and direction. Perform a sound of thunder with expandable data mutilation options and chaotic buffer addressing, or act as an 8-bit digital delay with flexible source and feedback blending.
I built this thing so I would never have to use buffer~ again.
A prototype has been constructed and efforts now focus on firmware development. Check back later for sound clips and demonstration video.
Expandable with a series of switches for "circuit bending" the behavior of the module, model 1973A "sound of thunder".

With the orange and black, I think The Havestman modules win the best Halloween Vibe award. That and the Halloween Thingamagoops of course, and the Microwave XT... and...?
The firmware on this thing went to 1.0 over the weekend. Now I just have to draw some better PCBs and work it into the production schedule... should be out by NAMM!
ReplyDeleteThe black/orange thing was mostly inspired by late ARP 2600s and Boss's late 80s/early 90s heavy metal pedals. They're always the first two colors I reach for when making new graphic designs anyway.
