Voices by Arius Blaze.

Release date: 07-07-2019

This will be available for pre-order on our upcoming crowdfunding campaign. Keep an eye out in summer 2019. Voices is included in the small complete "Voices" systems which will be available at the same time.

Shown here in gold. This will also be available in copper.

Oscillators: dual analog oscillators paired with one another. The main frequency control covers both oscillators and osc 2 pitch control detunes high or low and then shifts to 5ths or 7ths of osc 1 for instant musicality. There's also an octave control to switch octaves up or down. When you jack in to oscillator 2 it becomes independent of oscillator 1 so Voices can become distinctly duophonic. Oscillator shape also covers both oscillators simultaneously and smoothly fades from square to saw to triangle to sine waveforms on a single control (with added cv) and there's a switch to determine which direction the control or a/r travels. Add to that a sine-based sub oscillator.

We've included a vactrol on the output which, when plugged, cuts the output signal and only allows the signal to pass when it receives a voltage signal (trigger, gate, cv). This gives it that extra sweet flavor that only a vactrol provides and allows you to use voices without an additional VCA if desired as we do in the voices system.

Controls: Oscillator frequency, fine frequency, sub level, osc 2 frequency, osc 2 level, osc shape, FM.

CV: All attenuable. Octave, osc 2 level, osc shape, osc 1 cv, osc 2 cv.

Inputs/Outputs: Every waveform (square, saw, triangle, sine), oscillator 2 and a mix of all events. sync, FM

What makes this module unique: Two oscillators musically tuned to eachother is a beautiful thing but it also acts as independent dual oscillators with shared shape control. Clean sweeping/cross-fading shape from square to sine of analog oscillators does not otherwise exist as far as we know. Add that delicious vactrol and Voice is its own animal.
