The Triko Analog Tri-Chorus by Baloran Demo

The Triko by Baloran Part I Published on Oct 11, 2015 Pulsophonic

"The test of the analog tri-chorus The Triko by Baloran."

Googlish from French:

"Based on discrete analog components, The Triko brings the characteristic sound of vintage overall effects in the conciliatory modern digital world. The result, in addition to high sound quality found, briefs and Midi controls in real time ... the best of both worlds!

Specifications:
 
- Three chorus circuits made entirely of high quality discrete components (Maxim Dallas, Texas, Wima, Nichicon, That ...)
- Modulation and settings for each independent circuit or related
- Feedback circuit on the central chorus to turn it into Flanger
- High-quality audio from A to Z, with final mixing stage (level and pan "Effect" and "Dry")
- Exemplary ergonomics, with a control panel designed for quick access to all parameters (8 illuminated buttons, screen 2x16 characters, 3 encoders)
- 8 banks of 16 slots to store all settings, including 8 favorites directly accessible
- Bypass function by key combination or Midi CC
- Professional Connections: balanced stereo XLR, unbalanced stereo output jack 6.35, 8 pre-mixer line-level input jack 6.35, with individual levels and panning, Midi In and Out / Thru
- Full implementation via Midi CC, NRPN and Program Change: The Triko is fully controllable by STAN or hardware controllers
- Dynamic control parameters by the level of the sound signal or via Midi (wheel, velocity, aftertouch)
- Internal slot for daughter card to add additional insert effects (delay / echo, reverb)
- Solidly built, with universal internal power
- Designed and assembled in France
- Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz + - 2db
- Rack 19 "- 1U, depth 350 mm
- Weight: 4 kg - 8.8 lbs

Map FV-1
VF-1 card is the first card girl for The Triko. It brings the echo and reverb effects. Mixing a digital heart very musical and analog routing, it provides even greater dimension Triko.

Echo: Compared with a venerable tape echo (Space Echo), we have successfully implemented in the VF-1 algorithms and modulations that bring us close to his model: the modulation Tape recording is a real wow his model. Thanks to the adjustment of the amplitude modulation and speed, you can simulate tape echoes in perfect condition as copies at very tired capstan: D. Reinjection allows up to self-oscillation and even beyond. In mode 0, filtering occurs on repetition to approach the changes of timbre obtained on his illustrious model. A second virtual playhead whose period is half that of the main head ends enrich this emulation. A "Ping Pong" mode and a "Clean" mode are also available.

The reverberations: Our objective was not to offer the finest and most complex reverb sets. We're not able;) But we worked on ergonomics, musicality and originality of the reverberations produced: filtering, modulation, pre-delay feedback and allow visitors to explore the original reverberation universe with simplified settings .
FV-1 does not allow to have both features simultaneously."
