Tubemaster: ZIMM03


Published on Dec 6, 2012 by Wein Glas

"Buchla Skylab and Zerosum Inertia ZIMMs: What a great combination!
This video features the never before seen ZIMM03 Tube Module from Zerosum Inertia!"

Update: Details via Zerosum

"The ModuleModule #3 built by Zerosum Inertia takes 2 audio signals and processes each through a separate grid on 1 single 5725 dual-control pentode.

Each input has a different sound due to the different grid for each input. When both inputs are used the two signals become one and create a unique overdriven combination different than that of a conventional mixer or signal combiner.

The result of using both grids results in multiplication.

For a dizzying effect, feed 2 detuned oscillators beating against eachother into the ZIMM03 and observe the summed effect.

A single VTL5C3 vactrol provides CV for the amount of processing.

The slew of the vactrol controlled gain creates a unique VCA type effect different than that of a traditional solid state VCA.

Experiment with sending pulses into the CV input and leave the AD generators free for other duties.

To the left is an independant 1 in 2 out multiple. Experiment with splitting 1 signal source, then processing the 2 outputs through inputs 1 and 2 of the ZIMM03. Or experiment with creating feedback. A mult is a mult.

The 1/4" jack on the top mirrors the Tini-Jax output. Try feeding the 1/4" output to an effects processor and the Tini-Jax to other modules.

Or use the the 1/4" output to feed your mixer without having to convert a Tini-Jax to 1/4"."
