Logic Switch

"Model 26 is used with the Model 14 to create the logic to turn on and off the Model 28 Programmable Tap Clock. I got inspired while watching James Cigler's Model 28 video and thought I'd give it a try on a patch that's setup now. Kinda neat, not super useful w/o a lot of modules, but it was nice to see analog logic working in my modular."

KORG Delta

"Korg's fully polyphonic Delta is a pretty unique synth. The synth section allows you to combine oscillator footages and has its own ADSR, while the string section has an EQ and a simple AD envelope generator. The two can be combined so you can have a percussive synth sound followed by swelling strings. Both sections go through a gorgeous sounding filter that switches between low pass and band pass. The filter can be swept from the joystick, which can also modulate both the filter and oscillator with the LFO or, oddly, the noise source. Overall a nice surprise and sonically unique compared to Korg's Poly-Ensemble, Lambda, or Sigma."

Octavius Squeezer

"analog bass synth

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend us your rears, for the arrival of Octavius Squeezer is nigh! Available starting mid-2008, Octavius Squeezer is the only analog bass pedal you need. Designed specifically for bass guitar, Octavius Squeezer has true analog reconfigurable signal path technology, true bypass switching and a comprehensive array of analog synth, octaver, fuzz, envelope filter and other effects driven by a convenient digital preset system. With all this plus tuner and metronome in a size that fits in your gig bag, this is one pedal you simply can't afford to be without! Listen to it now!

Octavius Squeezer includes a dedicated filter circuit bred in our Agent 00Funk and Agent 00Funk Mark II envelope filters. It also includes the fuzz circuit from our Brown Dog gated bass fuzz. A digital pitch tracking stage tracks the notes you play right down to the bottom of your instrument's range and drives an analog synthesizer which can produce various waveforms at either the same pitch as your input, one octave down, one octave up or two octaves up. All of this can be patched, mixed and configured in a variety of ways to give an enormous array of available effects.

Use the effect control to switch between the 96 user-editable presets that can be stored in the Octavius Squeezer's onboard memory. Adjust any of the presets on-the-fly with a twist of the param knob. See the current effect and parameter settings clearly displayed on Octavius Squeezer's backlit LCD. Use the two user-assignable footswitches to bypass, tap tempo and switch effects on the fly. Save and load additional presets to SD card (like the one in your digital camera) using the onboard card reader, and use it to upgrade Octavius's firmware as new versions become available."
