Pressure Points

The Pressure Points music synthesizer module is a controller, an analog sequencer that is played by hand. Touching the gold plated copper wires (aka Touch Plates), you become part of the circuit, generating a gate signal (Gate OUT), a control signal proportional to the amount of pressure applied (Press OUT) and the 3 Tuned Voltages for the activated Stage.

Specifications

• Width: 20hp

• Max Depth: 24mm

• Power:
  20mA@ +12V
  0mA @ -12V

Features

• The Gate signals may be used to turn portions of a patch ON/ OFF, generate Timing Events within a patch or to Trigger a Function Generator such as MATHS

• The PRESSure signals may be used to add expression to a patch by varying Pitch or Timbre in real-time, based upon the artist's input

• The Tuned Voltages may be used to play the Pitch of a sound in a traditional melodic fashion, Program Chords or Timbral shifts (aka Presets)

• Up to 4 may be CHAINed together (using CHAIN Cable), to create controllers of varying size and complexity

• All outputs are capable of driving a passive 4 way mult without loading effects (no buffered mult needed)

• Expansion port allows for sequential control via the BRAINS expander module

• Pairs well with MATHS

• Requires approved power solution from Make Noise, Tip Top Audio or Doepfer
