Notes: The legendary Whammy pedal is the premier pitch-shifting pedal for any guitarist's board, and it only gets better with time. In addition to the classic Whammy sound, we've added chordal Whammy pitch-shifting and true bypass.

Whammy artists have won over 60 Grammysr using its unique pitch-shifting sound to enhance their music. Its songs echo the hallways of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and generate acclaim on over 700 million albums around the world. There is no doubt why Whammy is one of the most common sights on guitarists' pedalboards.

The Whammy can bring new depth to your artistry. Turn your solo into raging, rebellious screams of tone or tame your crowd with highly expressive, ambient chordal bends. Energize your audience with a scratchy note frenzy, bring them in and out of the sound tunnel with musical bursts, or carry them through an existential exploration of full-fretboard pitch translation. The Whammy puts expression into the expression pedal.

Don't be the last guitarist without a Whammy! The iPB-10 unleashes the ability to create and control guitar effects like never before.

Notes: The Four to One Mixer is the final docking station for all of your diverging sonic journeys! A simple and compact 4 channel mixer with independent level controls and selectable phase for each channel. This was primarily designed to be used with the One to Four Splitter to create 4 parallel signal paths, but it can be used just about anywhere you need to mix four different sources into a single output with your unique sound!

This high headroom device features a high 1 M Ohm input impedance and a low 100 ohm output impedance ensuring all signals maintain their sonic integrity throughout their journey, even on long cable runs. The high headroom input impedance of this device allows it to accept a variety of instruments without distortion or clipping. This was built to handle just about anything, including guitars, basses, synthesizers, drum machines, and more!

Phase selector switches for each channel will make sure to correct any issues you might have from mixing multiple different signals with opposing polarities. Sometimes mixes can sound out-of-phase, leaving the resulting signal sounding thin or tinnier. Adjusting the Phase on the Four to One Mixer will help you avoid these issues. When used in conjunction with the Four to One Splitter or the Flexi Loops, you can create wild parallel signal paths at the flip of a switch! Use it to mix 4 instruments into one amp! Run four synths into a single channel! Put the whole band through your wall of amps! The possibilities are still nearly endless.

Phase: Use this to select the output phase of the channel. Sometimes other pedals and various instruments will invert the phase of the signal which causes major problems when mixing with other non-inverted signals. If you have a signal that is inverted, flip the phase switch to "-" and the polarity will be corrected. In most cases this switch should stay in the "+" position.

Level: Adjusts the output volume of the channel.

Power

This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. EQD always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!

Punch is the ultimate VCA-DECAY module for Eurorack

Specially designed to generate dynamic percussive sounds but also capable of basslines, leads, envelopes and more. The VCA has a built in voltage controlled Decay envelope that can be turned from smooth to more aggressive exponential responses and can be activated with triggers, gates or cv's.

Punch features two modes per channel to play, with a dedicated switch control: "vintage style drum machine mode" and "dynamic cv mode"

Punch is capable of creating AM sounds with control voltage on the "amount"

Each envelope can be inverted via dedicated switches on the front panel.

If you use an inverted envelope alongside the accent input you can create ducking effects like side-chain compression..

INSTALLATION:
* Disconnect your synth from the power source.
* Double check polarity from the ribbon cable, unfortanetly if you damage the module by powering in the wrong direction it will not be covered by the warranty.
* After connecting the module check again you have connected the right way, the red line should be on the -12V.

Enlightening

Elevating the groundbreaking optical compression of the original Philosopher's Tone to a new plane of tonal enlightenment, the Philosopher's Tone 2 is a world-class compressor/sustainer with footswitchable Grit, allowing for more versatility than ever before. Featuring a refined implementation of the overdrive circuit first heard in the limited-edition Gold version of this iconic compressor pedal, the unique germanium distortion found in the Philosopher's Tone 2 delivers smooth top end and rich midrange response, tailored to perfectly match the characteristics of the optical sustainer driving it. In addition to Volume and Sustain controls, the Philosopher's Tone 2 features a parallel clean Blend knob that allows musicians to mix their instrument's original tone with the compressor/sustainer effect when the Grit circuit is bypassed. This mixing technique restores natural pick-attack and allows clean settings with extreme sustain to remain dynamic and musical. When the Grit circuit is engaged, the Blend knob is automatically bypassed, circumventing the compromises of the original unit and imparting a colourful distortion to your sound in both Germanium and Silicon modes. This nonlinear diode-clipping can range from subtle overdrive to overflowing distortion, all without unwanted feedback. A Treble control located just before the master Volume provides 6db of cut or boost at 2kHz for fine-tuning the frequency response of the effect. The Philosopher's Tone 2 features true-bypass switching and internal 18V power rails for maximum clean headroom that is ideal for use with hot pickups, active bass, synthesisers and other line-level sources. Runs on 9VDC.

Knob-by-knob

Volume: Sets the overall output volume.
Treble: Boosts or cuts treble at 2kHz.
Sustain: Sets the amount of sustain.
Blend: Mixes your compressed effect with your clean signal. Note: This control is only active when the Grit footswitch is turned OFF.
Grit: Controls the gain of the overdrive stage. Note: This control is only active when the Grit footswitch is turned ON.

Rare design

Generations of guitar players have sought noiseless clean sustain from a compressor, and this was the guiding goal of the research and design behind Philosopher's Tone, yielding a compressor with an internal 18 volts of headroom and naturally musical tone control.

The evolution of Philosopher's Tone

First released in 2009 and igniting a new following for Pigtronix, the Philosopher's Tone 2 is a "best of" design, incorporating the best elements of previous iterations plus a completely redefined Grit knob for significantly more versatility.

Modern-day alchemy

Practitioners of the mystical and ancient art of alchemy long sought an element called the Philosopher's Stone. They believed, if found, it could turn lead into gold and bestow immortality upon the person who wielded it. Philosopher's Tone 2 allows players to conjure gleaming sustain, soaring lead tones, and articulation across all six strings.

Notes: For the 20th anniversary of the legendary Fireface 800, RME introduces an exclusive special edition ARC USB in a sleek all-black design to complement the limited edition Fireface 802 FS AE.

Overview

This wired remote has been designed for direct access to the most frequently used actions and commands of TotalMix FX, being an indispensable tool in the studio's daily applications. Its extremely flexible configuration through TotalMix FX will simplify workflow and greatly increase the usability of the RME interface in most real-world situations.

The ARC USB is a USB 1.1 (UAC1) MIDI remote control, natively compatible to Windows and Mac OS X. As soon as it is present in the operating system TotaIMix FX will detect it and communicate with it, without disturbing other remote controls. Therefore, it is also not necessary to switch the ARC USB on or off within TotalMix FX - it will just work. And because it communicates with TotalMix FX (via USB) it is compatible to all RME audio interfaces that are detected and supported by TotalMix FX. This goes back to RME interfaces released 2001!

As soon as the ARC USB is connected to a computer any button press or wheel turning will cause the respective action performed by TotalMix FX - and therefore also by the RME audio interface.

With the UFX III and UFX II the ARC USB can also be connected directly to these devices, currently the only RME interfaces having an internal USB 1.1 host with matching connector. This way of connecting is handy in stand-alone mode, where the ARC USB is also supported by the UFX III and UFX II.

The ARC USB is bus powered, but draws only little current. Also, it uses USB 1.1 as bus standard, which these days is uncritical due to its lower frequency and speed demands. USB 2 cables with 5 metre to 10-metre length, and cheap USB 2 cable extensions that usually make a bus-powered interface fail will work perfectly for the ARC USB. Still at higher lengths RME recommends using active USB 2 cables (also called extension or repeater cables), which are not expensive and work over lengths of more than 20 meters.

The ARC USB can control several interfaces simultaneously, which happens automatically as the Key Commands dialog in TotalMix FX is specific to the currently selected audio interface. Just assign only the functions that are desired for each respective interface. After that the ARC USB keys and the encoder wheel remote the respective interface where they have been assigned to, without the need to further switch or select anything in normal operation.

The lower three keys have a useful diagnostic functionality
Talkback: is lit dim as soon as the ARC USB is running on 5 V USB bus power.
Speaker B: is lit dim as soon as a USB communication is possible.
DIM: is lit dim as soon as a communication with TotalMix FX is established.
Therefore, in normal operation all three lower keys are lit dim constantly.

The ARC USB comes with a standard set of Key Commands that already cover most usage scenarios, printed directly beneath the keys:
Row 1 and 2: activating Snapshots 1 to 8.
Row 3: Mono, Volume Phones 1, Volume Phones 2, External Input
Lower keys: Talkback, Speaker B, Dim.

A set of stickers with all currently available TotalMix FX commands is included. These can be used to label all keys reflecting the current user configuration.

The rotary encoder wheel is used to change various parameters, like gain and volume. It is programmable in TotalMix FX as well.

Configuration of the ARC USB

The Advanced Remote Control is configured in the Options menu via the Key Commands dialog of TotalMix FX, tab ARC USB Settings. As the ARC does not have any memory, all configuration and storage is done via TotalMix FX. All settings of the ARC USB are stored within a Workspace, and are therefore identical in all Snapshots of that current Workspace.

More than 36 different commands can be assigned to the 15 keys. The behaviour of each individual button can be changed between push, toggle, enable and disable, depending on the base function.

Current list of available functions:

Global Mute
Global Solo
Mute Group 1 to 4
Solo Group 1 to 4
Fader Group 1 to 4
Link Main AB
Speaker B Select
DIM (Main Out)
Mute (Main Out)

Mic/Inst. Gain 9, Mic/Inst. Gain 10, Mic/Inst. Gain 9+10
Mic/Inst. Gain 11, Mic/Inst. Gain 12, Mic/Inst. Gain 11+12

Some commands are not available at certain interfaces, or slightly changed due to different functionality. Fireface UFX, UFX II and UFX III have additional commands for DURec: Record, Play and Stop.

Several functions can be activated at the same time. Example: Button 1 is set to Cue Phones 1. That means the phones submix is heard via the Main output (the studio monitors). To be able to also change the volume of the phones submix itself, set button 2 to Volume Phones 1. Activating both will allow you to listen to the phones submix via the main output, and also to change its volume (the fader in the third row) by turning the encoder knob.

A standard footswitch (with switch, sustain pedals with pot are not supported) can be connected to the 1/4" TS jack on the left side. In Key Commands Settings the same options are available for the footswitch as for the 15 keys.

Remote control the RME Fireface UFX III, UFX II, UCX II and 802 FS in Stand-Alone Mode

As mentioned above, the RME Fireface 802 FX, UCX II, UFX II and UFX III interfaces all feature a dedicated connection for the ARC USB, with the remote offering an additional level of control when using either device in Stand-Alone Mode.

When used with any of these interfaces standalone, a fixed set of functions is activated on the keys:
Row 1: Setup 1-4
Row 2: Setup 5-6 x x
Row 3: Mono, Volume Phones 1, Volume Phones 2, DIM
Lower keys: DURec: Rec, Play/Pause, Stop
x = no function

The included stickers also offer the stand-alone layout.

In the 802 FS, UCX II, UFX II and UFX III display's menu the way of operating the ARC USB can be configured for standalone mode. Those options are found under SETUP/REV, Options, Hardware/Diagnosis:

Standalone ARC Volume

Deactivates all keys. Only the encoder wheel works, with a fixed assignment to Main Volume. This option is also a safety function in case the ARC USB is connected to the 802 FS / UCX II / UFX II / UFX III, but operated online (with a computer). When the system goes offline (computer removed, sleep state...) the functions on the keys change, because online mode changed to stand-alone mode. Operating the keys then could activate unintended functionality or changes.

Standalone ARC 1 second operation

Each key has to be pressed for one second to activate the programmed functionality. This safety function prevents unintentional changes. It can be stored within the Setups, activating this mode automatically when such a Setup is loaded. When loading a Setup where this function had not been active this mode is automatically deactivated at the interface.

Notes: vcA Team is a dual Voltage Controlled Amplifier conceived with dynamic expression control in mind.

With Velocity control over both VCA channels, vcA Team expands the creative use of amplitude variations on your patch, bringing not only control over the contour but also over the loudness of your sound .

Each VCA is coupled with an extra linear VCA cell, for a simple and direct approach to Velocity control. The Velocity input can be modulated by the Velocity CV output of your keyboard or any other CV signal on your rack.

Linear or exponential response is available at the flip of a switch and an attenuator-inverter potentiometer is also implemented to attenuate or invert the CV input.

All inputs are DC-coupled, leaving the door open for processing audio signals or control voltage signals.

An additional Mix output sums the two VCA outputs into a single output, turning the vcA Team into a two channel mixer.

Features:

Dual VCA.
Velocity control over both VCA channels.
Linear and Exponential response.
CV input with Attenuator-Inverter.
Mixed output.
DC-coupled inputs.
