XR1-E
Ring Modulation Oscillator
Analog Effect Device
Berlin 2013
The
XR1-E
is an analog ring modulator device with fixed sinus/triangle ring modulation
oscillator, suitable for both instrument or microphone input.
The oscillator pitch is adjustable by manual control over a wide range. In addition, the
frequency can be modulated by the integrated envelope follower (the oscillator pitch
changes dependent from the volume of the input signal) and LFO (low frequency oscillator)
as well as by an external CV signal or pedal. Original and effect signal are miscible by
controller, but the
XR1-E
also provides a footswitch input for external switching between
effect and original. Further, the ability of battery operation makes the instrument
independent from external power.
The
XR1-E
is based on an ancient function generator chip, which I am using since many
years for musical purposes due to its warm and smooth sound.
Low noise high impedance preamp
