"During their short lifespan, 360 Systems designed and produced an interesting set of effects, guitar synths (a repackaging of the Oberheim SEM), and synth-specific utility items such as the Slavedriver.
The Slavedriver uses a hex pickup (installed on your favorite guitar) to channel guitar notes to the main unit which converts your playing into range of control voltages to interface with your favorite monosynth.

The Slavedriver features 1/4in CV/Gate outputs for: guitar, pitch, loudness, trigger. There are controls for octave range: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32; and footswitch interval. There are also 1/4in inputs to connect footswitches (not included) to control sustain and transpose hands-free.

Internal dials allow the user to adjust each string’s sensitivity. Once you get pickup situated on your guitar, and patch the Slavedriver into the cv and gate jacks on your synth, you can have hours of synth guitar fun.

This particular unit is good shape, and works well. The pickup as been hard-wired to the cable and unit (it came to me this way), but could easily be modified to incorporate a jack for added convenience..."

"I've had the MiniBrute since August 2012, but this is the first time I've plugged anything (other than itself) into the audio input. Setting the Gate Source to "Audio" to trigger the envelope every time I play a note is a little frustrating. It either mis-triggers, or doesn't trigger every time I want it to. And keep in mind, it's not a volume-dependent thing that opens the filter more when I play a louder note; it's just a full-on or full-off thing. It seems like setting long decay & release times is the most forgiving way to do this.

On the other hand, setting the Gate Source to "Hold" and just enjoying the filter modulation was more consistently enjoyable. I'm open to suggestions and ideas if you've tried any of this yourself."
