GETREKT is a full analogue waveshaper – an aggressive one.
why:
• To add saturation and harmonics.
• To disrupt – folding - and cut into pieces - clipping.
• To generate square waves from other control voltage signals or audio sources.
• To invert the polarity of a trigger or other kind of pulses.
with:
• Sine waves – hear them scream.
• Human voices – fracture them in pieces with clipping as a good ol’ broken tape would do.
• Complex audio sources – to control and flatten them.
• Envelopes going to a drum module – rectify or fold that decay tail.
how:
Fed an input – audio or CV – into and take the processed output from The circuit is designed to invert the polarity of any given input.
“Disrupt and Pieces are analog touch controls; they act like potentiometers and they keep the value once the finger is lifted from the surface.
As it takes time to turn a pot, it takes time to interact with these controls:
bridge with your finger the first line and the center III to decrease the value or the center and the last one III to increment. A red and a blue LEDs will light up to give visual feedback of the position of the control.
This is a full analogue continuous control, designed to be an expressive and interactive gateway to decrease the boundaries between the user, the environment and the music-making-devices.”
DISRUPT: controls how much the output is affected by the waveshaper circuit. At maximum it will fold and create a total harmonic distortion.
PIECES: the pulse width of the resulting transformed wave.
Both parameters have a dedicated reactive CV input. If connected, the touch potentiometer act as an offset of the incoming signal.
features:
• Clipping and folding analog waveshaper circuit.
• Touch Controls on the amount of effect and PWM.
• Reactive CV inputs on both parameters.
• Inverts the polarity of any given input.
• Works with audio and CV sources.
• Single board design – extremely skiff friendly.
• “Whatever” power connector a.k.a. don’t mind the polarity.
