Kakofonator Plus #7 - Handmade Noise/Beat (De-)generator

The KAKOFONATOR PLUS #7 is housed in a handpainted recycled plastique enclosure, that used to be a part of a shopping window light fixture set-up. The enclosure has a bright green power indicator LED inside, that shines through its grilles. It works as a standalone noise generator and as a device that interacts with audio input signals.

The 4 square wave oscillators with different frequency ranges can be individually switched on or off with a toggle switch and have a FREQUENCY pot each. The 2 LFOs can each be routed to modulate one of the oscillators (LFO1> OSC1/OFF/OSC2) and (LFO2> OSC3/OFF/OSC4) or switched off with 2 3-position toggle switches. All oscillators are affected by the STARVE pot, that limits the power they can draw, resulting in stochastic noises, when the different gates of the IC battle for power. When the power toggle switch is in the ‘off’ position, the TRIGGER stomp switch can be used for pulsed power supply, the decay of those pulses is controlled by the STARVE pot, indicated by a fading ultraviolet LED. If a (boosted) audio signal is send to the INPUT, it can either run through pretty clear or through a PRE-AMP stage with adjustable GAIN. The PRE-AMP can be switched on or off with a toggle-switch and has an effect on the overall sound, even when there is no audio input. A MIX pot allows to blend the internal and incoming signals and a global VOLUME pot controls the  OUTPUT signal. Powersupply (with euro-plug) included. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN. http://metsaeaen.tk/

Size: ca. 20 x 11 x 7cm

Powersupply: 9-12VDC (2,1mm DC jack, center positive)

In & Output: 6,3mm mono-jack

Sold.

Kakofonator Plus #6 - Handmade Noise/Drone/Beat (De-)generator

The KAKOFONATOR PLUS #6 is housed in recycled wooden box with a stencil artwork and carved and colored routing marks. It works as a standalone (rhythmic) noise/drone generator and as a device that interacts with audio input signals.

The 4 square wave oscillators with 3 different frequency ranges can be individually switched on or off with a toggle switch and have a FREQUENCY pot each. The 2 LFOs can each be routed to modulate one of the oscillators (LFO1> OSC1/OFF/OSC2) and (LFO2> OSC3/OFF/OSC4) or switched off with 2 3-position toggle switches. All oscillators are affected by the STARVE pot, that limits the power they can draw, resulting in stochastic noises, when the different gates of the IC battle for power. When the power toggle switch is in the ‘off’ position, the TRIGGER stomp switch can be used for pulsed power supply, the decay of those pulses is controlled by the STARVE pot, indicated by a fading ultraviolet LED. If a (boosted) audio signal is send to the INPUT, it can either run through pretty clear or through a PRE-AMP stage with adjustable GAIN. The PRE-AMP can be switched on or off with a toggle-switch and has an modulating effect on the overall sound, even when there is no audio input source connected. A MIX pot allows to blend the internal and incoming signals and a global VOLUME pot controls the OUTPUT signal. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN. http://metsaeaen.tk/

Size: ca. 22 X 11 x 6.5 cm

Powersupply 12V DC (euro plug) included.

In-&Output: 6.3mm sockets (mono)

Kakofonator Plus #5 - Handmade Noise/Beat (De-)generator

The KAKOFONATOR PLUS #5 is housed in a black handmade wooden box with a scratched aluminum face plate and stencil artwork. It works as a standalone noise generator and as a device that interacts with audio input signals.

The 4 square wave oscillators with different frequency ranges ca be individually switched on or off with a toggle switch and have a FREQUENCY pot each. The 2 LFOs can each be routed to modulate one of the oscillators (LFO1> OSC1/OFF/OSC2) and (LFO2> OSC3/OFF/OSC4) or switched off with 2 3-position toggle switches. All oscillators are affected by the STARVE pot, that limits the power they can draw, resulting in stochastic noises, when the different gates of the IC battle for power. When the power toggle switch is in the ‘off’ position, the TRIGGER stomp switch can be used for pulsed power supply, the decay of those pulses is controlled by the STARVE pot, indicated by a fading ultraviolet LED. If a (boosted) audio signal is send to the INPUT, it can either run through pretty clear or through a PRE-AMP stage with adjustable GAIN. The PRE-AMP can be switched on or off with a toggle-switch and has an effect on the overall sound, even when there is no audio input. A MIX pot allows to blend the internal and incoming signals and a global VOLUME pot can be used to ‘tame’ the OUTPUT signal. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN. http://metsaeaen.tk/

Kakofonator Plus #1 - Handmade Noise/Beat Degenerator

The KAKOFONATOR PLUS #1 is build into a octagonal aluminium pedal box handpainted (black/grey/white) in a dirty and destroyed look. It works as a standalone noise generator. 4 oscillators with different frequency ranges are controlled with a toggle switch for activation and a pot for frequency control. 2 LFOs can each be routed to modulate one of the oscillators (LFO1 > OSC1/OFF/OSC2) and (LFO2 > OSC3/OFF/OSC4) or switched off with two 3-position toggle switches. All oscillators are affected by the starve pot, that limits the power they can draw which results in a stochastic noise battle. If the power switch (indicated by a dim green LED) is in the off position, the black momentary  switch can be triggered for pulsed power supply, the decay of those pulses is controlled by the starve pot, indicated by a fading ultraviolet LED. If a (boosted) signal is injected into the input, it can either run through pretty clear or through a pre-amp stage with adjustable gain that is switched on or off with a toggle-switch. A mix pot allows to blend the sounds and a global volume pot tames the output signal. Handmade in Finland by METSÄÄN.

Output: 6,3mm mono-jack

Input: 6,3mm mono-jack

Powersupply: 9V DC, 2,1mm DC jack (inside -/+ outside)

Size: 13 X 13 X 5,5 cm (including height of pots)
