Metalbox Dual Chime

This one has actually been around for a while. One just came up for sale on the AH list. I thought I'd check out it out on the Metalbox website and decided to put a post up. I find it fascinating when modules like this are created. I'm curious how many others are focused on producing unique and sometimes unexpected instruments. The Squarewave Parade's shakers come to mind.

Info from the Metalbox Dual Chime page:
"Two synthesized cymbal voices utilizing ring modulated square waves for a classic analog drum machine sound. Each independent chime has three individual frequency controls for the oscillators and decay time adjustment. Use alone or with other modules to create personalized hi-hat and cymbal sounds.

Controls:
* OscXX - frequency adjustment for individual oscillators
* Decay - determines length of chimes decay

I/O:
* Gate input - triggers chime
* Audio output - chime output

Frac spaces: 2
Current draw: 20ma
Price: $175
Alternating chimes with decay manually adjusted"
You can find a sample on the Metalbox Dual Chime page.

Note this is a Ken Stone CGS design per ~ in the comments.
