Overview
chiptune
Synthesizer
produces lo-fi sounds reminiscent of retro video games.
8 BIT / SID CHIP / It has a single octave keyboard with
an octave control knob to sweep through a full six octaves. It is
monophonic and only the highest key pressed will sound.
Seven different modes allow for lots of variety and are selectable
with a mode control knob. A drone switch plays the last pitch
played indefinitely, hands free. There is also a speed control to
manipulate patches as well as a low-pass filter and volume
control.
Modes
1. Simple Square-wave
2. Oscillating between two octaves
3. Ramping up and down by octave
4. Minor Pentatonic Arpeggios (Key selects the root)
5. Vibrato
6. Random Octave (Octave control sets maximum range.)
7. Drum Loop Mode (26 loops selectable with each key and drone
switch. Octave control acts as pitch control in this
mode.)
A CV input (0-5V, 1/8” jack) overrides the octave control. Clock
Out (5V, 1/8” jack) provides pulses in time with suitable modes to
sync with other devices. CV IN is located next to Power IN and
Clock OUT is next to Audio OUT. Audio output (1/4” mono jack) is
ideal for amps, effects or recording equipment. Powered by included
9V battery or 9V DC (Center-Negative) power supply.
It is built into a rugged die-cast aluminum case with an NES
inspired light-gray paint job. This was designed and hand-built in
Oakland, California.
