PE-1 - Basics - ALM016

ALM TV

"The PE-1 is a dual band parametric EQ and simple two channel mixer. It is inspired by the EQ circuits used in early ‘Portastudio’ type 4 track tape mixers. PE-1 provides +/-12db of boost and cut across 2 selected frequency bands. The top band ranges from 1kHz - 8kHz and the bottom band from 62Hz - 1.5kHz.

In this video we look at some common uses; a classic EQ, adding warmth & character to a digital source and shaping the feedback loop of a delay patch.

ALM Introduces the ALM015 Akemie's Taiko & ALM016 PE-1 dual band parametric EQ

ALM015 - Akemies Taiko from ALM on Vimeo.

Details on the ALM015 Akemie's Taiko via ALM:

"‘Akemie’s Taiko’ is an authentic complete FM synthesis based drum voice created using original Yamaha IC’s. It builds on the same technology used in the mighty Akemie’s Castle but in a more complete triggered voice form featuring both signal generation and envelope shaping.

The module provides CV and direct control over a number of FM parameters including algorithm selection, operator release envelopes, ratios, waveforms & feedback. This gives a massive range of unique sounds.

The voice is able to track 1 volt per octave allowing it to be used for melodic lines as well as percussion. Also optional ‘frequency ramps’ can be enabled for additional audio effects.

The drum voice includes a trigger input as well as accent and choke trigger inputs to add further expressive and rhythmic control.

Features

Complete drum voice with authentic 4 Operator / 6 Algorithm / 8 Waveform / Feedback FM
Full voltage control including Algorithm selection.
Inbuilt envelopes with separate release control of FM carriers and modulator.
Tracks 1v per octave for melody lines.
Optional Frequency ‘ramps’ for for further effects and FM
Trigger, accent and choke trigger inputs.
Reverse polarity protection.
Skiff friendly.
Designed and Made in the UK.
Can tear holes in space time."

And details on the ALM016 PE-1:

"‘PE-1’ is a dual band parametric EQ and simple two channel mixer. Two control sections provide a sweepable cut or boost to a selectable upper and lower frequency band. The module has two ac-coupled audio inputs, one of which has an attenuation control for basic mixing, and a single audio output.

The ‘PE-1’ is inspired by the EQ circuits used in early ‘Portastudio’ type 4 track tape mixers. Warm up a digital source, fine control a live performance, extend a mixer, tweak a feedback loop – there are many uses for this great sounding EQ.

Features

Provides +/-12db of boost and cut across 2 selected frequency bands
Dual input with single attenuation control
Reverse polarity protection.
Skiff friendly.
Designed and Made in the UK."
