Supplier's Notes:
Creative multi-channel audio processor

The GodFather is the first creative multichannel audio processor designed to inspire.

Its secret is a unique combination of manipulation parameters that will make you definitively abandon the conventional mixing concepts and immediately improve your creative skills.

Unlock limitless possibilities in sound design and music creation with this unique device.

Equipped with advanced features and expertly crafted for musicians and producers, this revolutionary product sets a new standard in audio processing and creativity.

This is a product that:

Processes 4 separate audio channels, allowing you to mix, equalize, compress, saturate, filter, and add emphasizing effects.

Stimulates your creativity both in the studio and on stage with multiple independent delays for each channel, capable of generating captivating grooves, surprising rhythmic junctions, and complex polyrhythms. Enhance your music production experience, offering unique sound manipulation possibilities.

Creates additional sound layers by adding filtered repeats within the main repeats for each of the 4 channels.

Offers an immersive experience by adjusting the offset between left and right channels, creating engaging bounces.

Features a large OLED display and numerous LEDs that provide instant, precise, and effective feedback on various functions, allowing you to focus on the creative aspect even in the most challenging lighting situations?


Here's what else this product can do:

Expands sound design possibilities almost infinitely with dedicated buttons to add, replace, and delete sounds within the repetitions for each channel.

Controls all parameters through 2 internal LFOs and 4 multi-assignable external CV inputs.

Correlates the dynamics of individual channels through a side-chain compressor, giving the right space and presence to the sounds of different channels.

Adds atmosphere, depth, and three-dimensionality to your mix with a large stereophonic reverb equipped with dedicated hi-pass filters.

Syncs with the rest of your setup via MIDI or CV Clock, receives external signals, or controls other devices.

Integrates into a 60Hp semi-modular rack, offering total manipulation of audio, MIDI, and CV.

Is crafted with the attention to detail typical of a Made in Italy product, using high-quality potentiometers, aluminium knobs, durable finishes, and precious wooden side panels.

After two years of hard work, design, emotions, technical challenges, and crucial choices, are excited to present this revolutionary device.

The Challenge

Featurings and Power all in small-scale spaces

The Electronic, Mechanical and Graphic Designs have been synergically worked out to be able to insert all the controls, the LEDs, the buttons necessary to create a device that would allow a naturalness in the use without compromises.

Tailor made knobs

For a performer, staying focused on the creative phase requires that the right number of controls are available, and that they are positioned in such a way as to allow natural use. This naturalness comes from a meticulous study and from dozens of configurations tested before reaching the perfect solution! To achieve the high level of usability prefixed, 36 knobs and 11 buttons needed, accurately positioned in the right places. To be able to get the right size, finish, feel, design and hide the potentiometer nuts, Enjoy have designed and made aluminium knobs manufactured exclusively for this product!

High quality potentiometers, aluminium knobs, durable finishes, involve high costs, but are essential to create a high-end device that will last over time.

LEDs

On the panel there are 154 LEDs to drive!

Thanks to the meticulous positioning, the instant feedback they offer is essential for those who must focus on the creative aspect and have everything under control at a simple glance. It wasn't easy at all! But, for us, it was essential to have them, and to have them like this! Enjoy had to design and test different solutions and prototypes before finding the ideal configuration, which would satisfy targets such as position, luminous homogeneity, no-light interference between neighbouring LEDs. Attention to detail remains the guideline.

Case: design, shape and compatibility

The unique shape of the case is produced in a single piece of aluminium thanks to the extrusion technique.

To get it, Enjoy worked closely with aluminium extrusion experts to create a matrix that granted us very tight tolerances, despite the multitude of curves, corners and grooves.

Aluminium and wood case

This strong shell is powder-coated in black, offering the highest resistance against scratches, dents and absolutely no chance for paint flaking. To make it, Enjoy are committed to ordering a huge volume of parts and investing significantly in advance.

Performance Oriented

Months were spent to carefully consider all the function and parameters. After that Enjoy invested a lot of time in designing the "one-knob-per-function" interface with a studio and stage performance perspective. All the visual indication that "The Godfather" provides are extremely useful and intuitive. Despite the great complexity behind The Godfather, it is surprisingly simple to use. You will see and feel the effort when playing with the GodFather.

60HP Semi-Modular footprint

Despite the unique design, The Godfather has the same footprint as a Mother32, DFAM, SubHarminicon, allowing it to perfectly fit into Tier Rack stands (4,3,2 sizes)
