EF118 Vulcan's Hammer
video upload by electrofaustus
"This device is an accelerometer-controlled oscillator. It works by reading the position along a 180-degree x-axis and translating to a frequency. In the fully back position, the oscillator is at its lowest note – roughly 100hz (or D3 on the musical scale). As you rotate the hammer forward, pitch increases. In this position, the frequency is roughly 2000hz (or B6 on the musical scale). That’s about a 4-octave range. The controls are straightforward: A red push button on/off switch and a knob to control volume. The ¼ inch audio output jack is located at the bottom of the handle. It’s powered by 3 AAA batteries located inside the enclosure that come included in the unit when purchased. They can be easily replaced by unscrewing the base. Vulcan’s Hammer goes on sale today and retails for $200"
Check with dealers on the right for availability.
"Like the Roman God Vulcan, what if you could generate immortal oscillations from a mighty hammer? Ponder no more. Vulcan’s Hammer by Electro-Faustus allows you to call to the Gods by simply rotating the device along a 180 degree field. Note range is roughly 100Hz (D3) to 2000Hz (B6). That’s almost 4 octaves! Powered by 3 AAA batteries.
*Like all of our devices, the Vulcan’s Hammer is noisy and glitchy by design. Have fun with it!"
