Page through 9 modes with a single button then alter the sound with control over the speed and pitch.

Mode 1 - Pitch is tuned to 3 octaves of chromatic scale with LFO stutter effect. Mode 2 - Pitch is tuned to 5 octaves of D Major pentatonic scale with LFO stutter effect. Mode 3 - Run of frequencies down. Mode 4 - Run of frequencies up. Mode 5 - Run up and down. Mode 6 - Frequency with modulation. Mode 7 - Overlapping modulation. Mode 8 - 4 simple rhythmic loops mapped over pitch knob, with speed control. Mode 9 - Noise produced by random frequency. Pitch sets the max freq.

You also have a low-pass filter, volume control, toggle on/off switch, and a red LED light that flashes in sync with the effect. It is powered by an included 9volt battery or any 9volt center-negative DC adapter. Output via a 1/4" jack that is easily connected to amps, effects or recording equipment. There is also a sync output over 1/8" jack. This works with the Auto-Step Synthesizer, Four/Eight Step Sequencer or any device that makes use of 5volt clock in. Also a CV input that excepts a range of 0-5volts for control over the pitch control knob.

Please note the shade of red is slightly darker than in the video, please refer to the photos.

Great little synth

This is a great little synth. Fun to play with and produce all of the sounds.
I asked the seller some questions and he immediately answered them. I recommend this to anyone
who wants an inexpensive electronic sound producer.

Lightning fast shipping and a fantastic product

I'm a guitarist and have only the slightest glimpse into the cult mentality of the synth enthusiast. I just wanted the ability to make cool nintendo sounding robot noises without having to dive head first into the world of Synthesizers. This box helped me achieve that goal and still gives you a large amount of control over the different noises that come out of it. If there was any documentation included I didn't bother looking at it because I had figured out how all the knobs and buttons worked within 2 minutes. Once I had started down the rabbit hole I was instantly hooked.

This is a fantastic little box and the craftsmanship is impeccable. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to get some spacey robot sounds into their bag of tricks.

Amazing!

Just received my unit after a ridiculously quick shipping period (it even cleared customs in record time). Works great right out of the box. Looking forward to making lots of fun 8-bit sounds with this synth! Thanks again! Review Image

Glad to hear it is in you hands and you are enjoying it. From the photo it looks like you have a pretty awesome setup, I'd love to hear it along side everything else if you ever post anything.

Thank you again,
Michael
