Hi everybody,
let me introduce you to
texture, my latest sound device.
https://youtu.be/jc1yOkv7rcItexture is a device that incorporates three independent sound generators for the production of a wide variety of sonic environments with a ever changing expressive vitality. All sound parameters can be modified through direct manipulation of the knobs allowing a direct, fast and intuitive performance. The sound generators have complementary tonal characteristic and their circuits can be customized easily, by changing the electronic components values that affect the frequency of the oscillators and the cut-off frequency of the passive filters. The circuit derives directly from Kinetik Laboratories' Protean, a powerful drone sound generator.
texture is divided in three sections: Cluster, Ring and Chaos.
Cluster is composed by three frequency controlled oscillators. It allows the creation of eternally sustained chords and clusters of microtonal intervals.
In the Ring section the signal from the center oscillator is processed by two pseudo-ring modulation circuits with the other two oscillators. Adjustments of the oscillator pitches result in evocative and constantly changing textures, bell-like or otherwise metallic sounds.
Chaos is formed by three oscillators in cross-modulation. Its sonic character far exceeds the typical white and pink noise sources. Tuning the oscillator pitches allows timbral metamorphosis and complex variations in tone and sound granularity.
Each section has a level knob to mix the three voices.
The circuit is powered on a 2.1mm barrel jack, center negative, like your favourite pedal effect.
