Gamechanger Audio PLASMA VOICE

Gamechanger Audio PLASMA VOICE Product Details

Description

PLASMA Voice is a synthesizer module that generates sounds by manipulating high-voltage electrical discharges between two electrodes on a specially developed xenon-filled gas tube.These discharges are converted into analog sounds using a special rectifier circuit. The result is a mesmerizing electrical sound that corresponds to the visual intensity of the blue flash.The electrical discharges are controlled by a proprietary ultrasonic pulse-width oscillator.

This oscillator is modulated by predefined samples and envelope shapes (also called SOUNDS for convenience) that you can select, trigger, wave and modulate with sliders and CV inputs.

Features:

• Proprietary plasma tube driver and detector for electromagnetic discharges
• 49 transformable SOUNDS via 7 BANKS
• Soft clipping DRIVE circuit
• EQ section for boosting/cutting the BASS and TREBLE frequencies
• Analog state-variable VCF (selectable 12dB/oct LP or HP) with resonance amplifier
• Analog VCA output
• VCF and VCA are digitally controlled with internal analog control voltages
• Audio output level +/-8V max
• 6 centered SLIDER potentiometers with indentation
• PITCH +/- 1 oct (fine tuning and octave adjustment are also possible)
• TIME - time stretching of the envelope
• MOD - pitch modulation effect
• HARM - effect for overtone content
• FLUX - effect for electrical artifacts
• FILTER - cutoff with and without envelope modulation
• 5 centrally indented ATTENUVERTERS for CV inputs
• ALT button for accessing the alternative SLIDER functions for FINE TUNE, ACCENT parameters and FILTER RESONANCE
• Manual TRIGGER / GATE button
• CLUTCH button for temporary parameter edit buffer
• Push & turn ENCODER and a 7:7 LED display for SOUND & BANK selection, octave selection and navigation in the settings menu
• 7 CV inputs. One for each SLIDE and 1 assignable MULTI-CV input as additional CV for any SLID or the BANK & SOUND selection
