PO .Passive Operator: drum synth eurorack

Introduction price

More passive sounds drums and more after the big success of the passive operator mini drum synthesizer

that works on trigger gate  and control voltage we decided to take it to the next level in Eurorack .

Where do you have more? CV trigger Gate then straight from the rack 16 HP and no powered need .

A lot of experimental purpose with patch matrix and playing with touch and compartments if you need it

The Passive Operator: A Unique Drum Synthesizer Introduction:

The Passive Operator is a one-of-a-kind drum synthesizer

that operates without the need for an external power supply.

Instead,

it relies on triggers, gates, and Control Voltage (CV) signals,

making it compatible with Eurorack modular systems or standalone setups.

Developed as part of the Tropical Noise platform,

this drum synthesizer offers experimental sounds and a truly unique sonic experience.

In this article, we will explore the features and capabilities of the Passive Operator,

highlighting its design, functionality,

and the potential for creative sound manipulation. 

1. Design and Construction: T

he Passive Operator is housed in a sturdy bricky format box made of solid aluminum. I

ts robust construction ensures durability and reliability,

making it suitable for both studio and live performances.

The device features different compartments,

each serving a specific purpose in shaping the sound.

2. Input Compartments: The Passive Operator boasts two input compartments,

labeled "WTF in 2x." These inputs are located on the left side of the device and accept CV, gate, trigger, and even audio signals.

The sensitivity of these inputs allows for precise control and modulation,

enabling users to create intricate rhythmic patterns and dynamic soundscapes.

3. Mix Compartment: The mix compartment serves as a central hub for signal routing.

By connecting the mix output to the matrix,

users can explore various combinations of triggers and CV signals,

resulting in unique rhythms and tonal variations.

The mix compartment enhances the versatility of the Passive Operator,

allowing for seamless integration with other modular gear or audio equipment.

4. Patch Matrix in and Outputs:

The patch matrix provides multiple outputs for triggers and Control Voltage,

expanding the creative possibilities of the Passive Operator.

Users can experiment with different patching configurations,

both internally within the matrix and externally to other jacks.

Additionally, the matrix offers control over the potential meters,

enabling users to fine-tune their sound by finding sweet spots and manipulating the tonal characteristics.

5. Customization and Expansion: One notable feature of the Passive Operator is its ability to accommodate electronica compartments. This unique design aspect allows users to swap out compartments,

effectively changing the sound characteristics of the device.

Furthermore, the addition of a touchpad offers an alternative control method, enabling users to interact with the synthesizer using their fingers, adding a tactile and expressive dimension to their performances. Conclusion: The Passive Operator is a remarkable drum synthesizer that defies convention by operating without the need for external power. Its unique design, experimental sounds, and versatile functionality make it a standout option for musicians and sound enthusiasts. The combination of triggers, gates, and Control Voltage signals opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing users to sculpt their own unique rhythms and tones.
