Notes: Developed in conjunction with Dutch software masters 112dB, Erica's stereo reverb is the best of both worlds: deep DSP power with plenty of hands-on control. Designed for musicality, ideal for synths, drum machines and more.

Supplier's Notes:
A stereo reverb with a unique and musical algorithms developed by 112db, save/recall functions for all parameters, all in sleek aluminum case to aesthetically match our lineup of compact desktop units.

Erica Synths focused on the musical aspect of the effect - extremely long decay tails are possible without losing harmonic integrity and since multiple parameters can be adjusted at once, notes can be played individually and held in chords, pitch-shifted at a whim or used to create massive, ambient textures.

Notes: A quirky new offering from Moog, this unusual analogue spectral processor is based around a bank of 10 filters, capable of being used as an instrument in its own right or processing other signals for vocoder effects and much more.

Supplier's Notes:
Spectravox, the newest member of the Moog semi-modular family, is a groundbreaking tool for sculpting sound. An analog spectral processor based around a 10-band filter bank, Spectravox creates lively drones and colorful tonal sweeps on its own and adds resonant depth and psychedelic spectral movement to any external sound. Hook up a microphone and Spectravox becomes a 10-band analog vocoder with innovative integrated modulation of all of its filters. An exploration and expansion of the topology of the vocoder and filter bank, Spectravox is a highly flexible instrument and signal processor with a comprehensive patch bay for integration into studios of all sizes.

Synthesists have delighted in playing with the spectrum of sound since the Moog 907 Fixed Filter Bank appeared in the 1960s, creating lush vowel tones and multicolored timbral animation with hands-on level control of each frequency band of a sound. Unlike earlier fixed filter banks, however, the unique filters of Spectravox are no longer fixed in place and will jointly shift around the frequency space, allowing for the creation of otherworldly voltage-controlled spectral animation and vibrant phaser-like sweeps. With 10 filters whose variable resonance can morph from soft precision to shimmering choral effects, Spectravox reshapes the sounds you love into surprising new forms and brings a new world of sonic possibilities to your studio.

Spectravox is a fascinating standalone sculptable synthesizer voice thanks to its built-in carrier sound source of a thick analog Moog oscillator and white noise generator. With its combo XLR/jack program input, Spectravox becomes a fully featured 10-band vocoder with a secondary filter bank for analyzing the spectral makeup of incoming sounds. In VOCODER mode its 10 analysis filters map the timbral characteristics of any external sound onto any other sound you can imagine. Shape the warm analog oscillator of Spectravox with the dynamics of your voice, or use a drum machine to animate guitar chords in a mesmerizing broadband percussive space.

Spectravox uses the pioneering vocoding work of Bob Moog and Wendy Carlos in the late 1960s as its inspiration-work which was based on Homer Dudley's original designs from the 1930s and which was used to prominent effect in Stanley Kubrick's 1972 film A Clockwork Orange. Innovating further from these early designs, Spectravox uses 10 state-variable filters for its filter bank, all 10 of which are capable of being shifted with its internal triangle wave LFO or external control voltage. With the ability to emphasize vowel sounds via the Hiss and Buzz functionality of the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder, Spectravox is both a major step forward for analog filter banks and a loving exploration of early music technology history.

Scramble the frequency spectrum and create wonderfully unpredictable textures with patch points for each filter in the filter bank and included patch cables. Add analog warmth and subtle phasing to digital synthesizers and sound sources. Integrate Spectravox with other Moog semi-modular instruments or Eurorack modules with an extensive patch bay providing control over almost all of its parameters. Spectravox is a boundary-pushing instrument that invites you to explore creative new ways of shaping and sculpting sound.

Notes: Third-gen version of Benidub's 'plug and play' spring reverb is better than ever. Lush, vintage spring reverb now with adjustable filter routing and built-in soft clipping circuits to add saturation.

Supplier's Notes:
Spring reverb preamplifier combined with a LP-HP filter

SPRING AMP III marks the third iteration in the renowned "Spring Amp" series: desktop effects designed to bridge the gap between audio mixers and spring reverb tank, offering dynamic filtering options in an intuitive and ready-to-play package. A culmination of Benidub's expertise and your feedback, combined to create the ultimate Spring Amp.

This new all-in-one dub reverb and filter machine features a full suite of powerful and intuitive controls, making it easy to dial in your favourite spring reverb tones in the studio or on stage.

Everything you loved about its predecessor it's still there, enriched with new features and even more playability than before.

Benidub added a push-button switch for routing settings, allowing you to place the filter before or after the spring tank for more mellow or dramatic swings. SAIII now features an in-built soft clip circuit on both input and filter which lets you push your sound even further without damaging your performance and get that classic, warm, musically pleasing saturation which adds rich complexity to your swells. Every feature is clickless and the circuit has an in-built low noise filter alongside Class-A discrete components.

The Spring Amp III is designed to be a plug-and-play dub reverb effect, delivering the classic dub sound instantly upon connection.

Notes: Compact acid sound with flexible application possibilities.

Inspired by the look of the classic TB-303, the mother of all bass synthesizers, the DT-303 from Dtronics offers a distinctive and original design.

It is designed to fit perfectly next to an original TB-303 or a clone.

Three adjustable blends with subtle frequency spectrum variations allow distortion levels from very subtle to total distortion. The filter can be used to suppress high frequencies and the volume control can be used to adjust the output level to your own needs.

The three modes, Classic, Turbo and O Drive, can be quickly changed using three buttons, while the bypass knob allows you to quickly return to the original sound. The positioning of the connections (Line In, Line Out, Power) on the back prevents a tangled mess of cables on the instruments.

DT-303 not only works in combination with TB-303 and RE-303, but also with other synthesizers and drum machines. The robust metal housing, its low weight and its compact size make it easy to transport and flexible to use.

Notes: An interesting creative take on delay from Lorre Mill. The Comb Room combines echo and filtering to create reverb and resonant feedback effects. Banana plug patch points allow you to tweak the signal routing.

Supplier's Notes:
Comb Room

The comb room effect combines a dual delay (room circuit) and a comb filter to make echo/reverb-type sounds and resonant feedback. The comb filter is in the feedback path of the delays. An envelope follower gives movement to either the comb filter or the room circuit. The comb resonance control in conjunction with the comb return control can create self oscillation. The preamp for the 1/4" input has selectable gain of 10x or 40x and a soft clipping characteristic. The comb and room circuits are both built around 1 bit delta-sigma converters. In the case of the delays, the analog to digital conversion is done in the PT2399 echo IC. The comb filter uses a simple and gritty A/D converter built of logic chips and op-amps. Which gives the filter a characteristic sound. Clock noise can be heard at lower frequency settings. Patching the room output to the return will bypass feedback through the filter, allowing all frequencies to echo.

Notes: The JMT Synth NOISY MIC-2 is a unique vocal instrument and processor designed for extreme textures stemming from the human voice. The multiplexer circuit combines the microphone output with a switchable internal VCO, this mixed signal is then passed through a high-gain distortion equipped with an equalizer for final tone-shaping. The VCO can be modulated by an LFO or an external CV source for complex FM-like timbres. This combination of simple circuits forms a unique vocal processor with a wide range of timbres and effects. The microphone is outfitted with a mute switch, making it suitable for live performance.

*Do not connect any other equipment except the included microphone. It is different from normal Midi terminals in that it has special wiring, so connecting other objects to it will damage the circuitry.*
