the instrument · scroll to take it apart
an honest machine, in three layers.
layer 01
top panel
layer 02
engine
layer 03
chassis
eight engines. tap to audition.
browser sketches of each model — the hardware versions have considerably better manners
the specimen sheet
we are a type foundry that builds instruments, so the spec sheet is set the way foundries have always set them: as a specimen.
archivo variable — weight axis as dynamics. the master gain knob also sets the type weight on screen.
every port you'd hope for
14 khz — brilliance · the effect reel
sound you can see is sound you can share.
this is not a mockup. every panel below is the device's own effect code — the same c++ that runs on the hardware, compiled for your browser. pick an effect, play the loop, drag the faders, and watch it draw what it hears.
fx 01
reverb
a room you can size by hand. the vector field bends the way the air would.
fx 02
delay
echoes as satellites — every repeat is another pass over the same ground.
fx 03
chorus
muybridge's gallop, screened in halftone. each horse is one detuned voice.
fx 04
phaser
a notch sweep rendered as a corridor you fly down. the walls are the filter.
fx 05
vibrato
pitch wobble charted like a ticker. buy the dips, they come back around.
fx 06
tremolo
volume as altitude. the terrain bobs at exactly the rate you set.
fx 07
drive
a polygraph for your signal. push it harder and watch the needle confess.
fx 08
tape
a reel-to-reel that saturates like the real thing, vu meters and all.
fx 09
compressor
gain reduction as a night drive — the needle is your speed, the road is the loop.
fx 10
eq
eight bands on a dark pond. drag a fader and the curve ripples.
fx 11
octave
a figure and its sub-octave shadow, one octave down, walking in step.
