10 Step Analog Sequencer / Synth
Control SPEED, PITCH & FILTER with Knob / Motion / Touch Control !
Lock & Key and Momentary Stutter ON / OFF Switches w/
EXTRA LARGE 10MM AMBIENT COLOR CHANGING LEDS
DESCRIPTION: What we have here is a 10 step analog sequencer, running a square wave oscillator. Each step of the bass line can be tuned via the 10 main sequence knobs (further right you turn, higher the pitch for each note of the line). This unit is intended as a stand alone sound creation device, at has NO sync out or in... hence why it should be considered a "space line generator" ;) Oh, and for added fun.. there is an ILLUMIRINGER put on the end of the signal chain for epic tweaking! Quickly I will mention the EPIC graphics she's rocking... the main graphic is an original mash up focused around an amazing image of the cockpit of the Space Shuttle "Endeavour"... As you might have guessed.. this is where the piece gets it's name.
All of this is controlled via the 3 sections at the top of the unit... each section has the option to be either controlled via a knob, light sensor or pair of touch points (at the bottom of the unit.) First, we have the "SPEED" which will control the tempo of the sequence. Next, there is the "PITCH" controls.. and finally the "FILTER" which is tied into the effects section. The filter fx can be turned on and off via the switch to the left of the Knob / Sensor control switch on the right most control section.
The touch points are set up in pairs... from left to right... 1st Speed, 2nd Pitch, 3rd Voltage Drain, 4th Effect. They can be used in pairs OR in different configuration to get some really exciting expression out of the piece.
The light sensors on this thing are SICK! Massive range... super sensitive! So many way to jam on them... I couldn't include all of them in the video there were SO MANY... so use your imagination. I really enjoy turning ALL of them on at once and creating MASSIVE SONIC NOSE DIVES by simply slowly turning the piece towards and away from a light source.. an experience that can only be understand by trying it ;)
Unit can be turned on via a mission impossible style key start (two keys included).. or a big red momentary button. 9v Power adapter powered for maximum juice'ness (this thing is a bit of a beast) which is of course INCLUDED. This is a solid PCB design, not perf . vero board etc... meaning this sucker was BUILT TO LAST.
As of now this is the ONLY ONE IN EXISTENCE. As usual, depending on the reaction this time around.. maybe I will make a few more in the future.. but as you might have guessed... building this sucker is quite an ENDEAVOUR ;)
There is SO MUCH more I can say about this piece... but you should really just check out the DEMO VIDEO and throw down a bid before someone else snakes it! (joking, but for real.. BID NOW!) haha
