The pedal is always on, and the only thing needed to activate it is to step on the foot-pedal. The algorithm keeps transitions between the DRY and WET (pitched) signals as smooth as possible, so pitch-bends can be folded into complex picking patterns as well as lead and melodic lines. That opens up strumming patterns, bend combinations and lap-steel and slide-inspired licks that cannot be achieved with traditional tremolo systems. + + Another key component of the pedal's sound is the DETUNE parameter, an algorithm designed to emulate the imperfections and dissonant properties of traditional mechanical string-bending hardware.

The system harvests the full timbral and harmonic range of a spring reverb tank, combining the features of a classic spring reverb with an optical sensor system and an effects section, which opens up reverb textures a mechanical tank alone cannot produce. + + Extremely sensitive optical sensors are directed at different points of the spring and detect very subtle movements on the spring's surface as sound waves travel through it. This picks up a much wider range of frequencies, overtones and textures that are otherwise lost in the mechanical reverberation process. The sensors also open the door to effects that are new to spring reverbs, such as tremolo, modulation, feedback and added harmonics, giving reverb sounds that range from classic to experimental. + + The extended signal mix section allows a precise balance between the dry signal, the classic reverb tone and the optical reverb signal. Effects can be stacked and controlled with playing dynamics or an expression pedal. + + The pedal's central component and main sound source is a traditional spring reverb tank, made up of three major elements: the input transducer (spring exciter), the springs and the output transducer (pickup). The spring's movement patterns during reverberation can be complex, especially near the input transducer, but spring elasticity means that by the time vibrations have reached the output transducer what is mostly heard is the spring's own resonant frequencies, which is why all spring reverbs have such a particular jangly, metallic sound. The spring output (the spring knob) offers a classic spring reverb sound, with the option to adjust the spring drip (the drive knob) and the tone of the output signal (the tone knob). + + To capture the full range of the spring's vibrations, the pedal uses multiple sets of infrared optical sensors that act as photoelectric pickups. Each set of IR sensors is directed at a different point on the moving spring's surface, and detects much finer movements than the output transducer does. That makes longer decays possible and gives a more detailed frequency response, including subharmonics and overtones. The pedal can also produce modulation and tremolo effects by scrolling through the optical sensors or by switching them on and off. +specs: |- + - Sounds ranging from classic spring tank tones to colorful optical spring reverb tones with modulation and added harmonics + - Separate level controls for the dry signal, spring and optical reverbs.

These motor oscillators produce four distinct waveforms: Sine, Saw, Square and the so-called M waveform. The M waveform comes from a set of electromagnetic pickups placed next to each motor's rotating inner coils, whose electromagnetic fluctuations are amplified into a motor waveform. The Sine, Saw and Square waveforms come from specially designed optical discs mounted to each motor's shaft, each disc carrying three tracks engraved onto its reflective surface as circular optical representations of those waveforms. Each reflective track is paired with a separate infra-red laser and sensor that picks up the reflected beam, so that as the disc rotates and brings the differently shaded areas into circular motion the reflectivity sensor outputs an optical waveform, a technology Gamechanger Audio developed specifically for the MOTOR Synth. + + There are two separate motor voices with four electromotor oscillators each, and either voice can operate in mono, unison or four-note polyphonic mode. Each has its own controls for volume, scale and waveshape, individual amp envelope engines per note, and detailed control over a portamento and pitch modulation section called Acceleration / Brake. Each motor voice also has its own analog multimode filter section with adjustable drive, cutoff, resonance, envelope shape and amount, and filter type, across four analog filter types. The MKII filter circuits have increased headroom, improved envelope response speed and a precise analog keytrack mode with adjustable depth, direction and filter glide. + + The MKII adds a third voice, a digital engine (DCO) that can be used independently or to augment the raw sound of the motor voices, producing classic waveforms with waveshaping or acting as a noise generator. It has its own amp envelope, portamento section and digital multimode filter designed to reproduce the four analog filter modes. + + The modulation section carries three individual LFOs with adjustable positive and negative depth, each assignable to almost any knob or encoder value across two independent modulation slots. A dedicated center indent potentiometer creates amplitude cross-modulation with either voice, and a Detune / Drift knob offers two kinds of oscillator detune. An arpeggiator, multiple motion record lanes and a monophonic sequencer handle pattern work, and notes can be played from the eight key performance keyboard or from external MIDI and CV gear. +specs: |- + - Improvements over the original MOTOR Synth: lower mechanical noise, from a custom motor engine, soft-mounting and sound panels + - Upgraded filter and VCA section + - Expanded controls for portamento, detune and cross-mod + - 3 fully assignable LFOs + - Added digital voice (DCO) + - Improved sequencer, arpeggiator and motion record + - Improved user interface + - Two independent MOTOR voices with 4 electromotor oscillators each, both able to operate in mono, unison or four-note polyphonic mode + - Four motor oscillator waveforms: Sine, Saw, Square and the M waveform + - Per-voice controls for VOLUME, SCALE and WAVESHAPE, individual AMP ENVELOPE engines for each musical note, and a PORTAMENTO / PITCH MOD section called Acceleration / Brake + - Separate analog multimode filter section per motor voice, with adjustable DRIVE, CUTOFF, RESONANCE, ENVELOPE SHAPE and AMOUNT, and FILTER TYPE + - Four analog filter types: 24 dB LP, 12 dB BP, 12 dB HP and 12 dB AP (all-pass), with a precise analog keytrack mode with adjustable depth, direction and filter glide + - Third digital voice (DCO), usable independently or alongside the motor voices, producing classic waveforms with waveshaping or acting as a noise generator, with its own AMP ENVELOPE, PORTAMENTO section and digital multimode filter reproducing the 4 analog filter modes + - Single output jack configurable as mono or as stereo, routing the two motor voices to separate channels.

The scope of distortion intensity goes from sputtery broken sounds to full saturation and sustain, all the way to totally oversaturated tones. The level of distortion is controlled with the INPUT GAIN and VOLTAGE knobs, and the OVERSATURE mode overpowers the Plasma tube to enhance upper harmonics and overtones. + + Natural noise gate and CLEAN GATE: when the input level drops below the Plasma lamp's voltage threshold, the electrical discharge within the gas-filled tube is interrupted. This creates a gating effect unique to the Plasma distortion and a large part of its flavour. The extremely fast gate creates sputtering sounds with each attack and release of a sound, and creates strong contrasts between sounds, so it works well with beats and drum tracks. The gating effect interacts with INPUT GAIN and VOLTAGE, and the SUSTAIN mode prolongs the sustain at low VOLTAGE settings, where the gate threshold is high. + + CLEAN GATE applies the Plasma gating to the dry signal even when the distorted wet signal is not mixed in. This allows the same sputtering gate sounds to be used as a texture without distorting the signal, which has a wide range of applications such as crushing drums, removing sustain from cymbals or adding a flickering quality to melodic lines. + + Tremolo and ring modulation: the Plasma Rack features a tremolo section that affects both the dry and the wet signals, in or out of phase. The tremolo is achieved by modulating the Plasma tube, and its speed goes into ring modulation territory. The tremolo rate and ring modulation frequency can be controlled with a MIDI CC message and an expression pedal. The effect also has an envelope follower, which allows the tremolo and ring modulation depth to be controlled with the input level. The tremolo section interacts with the CLEAN GATE effect, so the flickering Plasma gate can be added to the clean sound at the rate of the tremolo. + + Signal routing: the Plasma Rack has balanced and unbalanced I/O and works with both instrument and line level signals. It is a mono unit, however it is designed to work in a master/slave configuration for stereo signal processing. There are three effect loops in different parts of the signal chain, which also work with both instrument and line level signals. + + Workflow: the signal processing is fully analog, but the parameters can be digitally controlled. The unit has a full MIDI implementation, each parameter can be controlled with MIDI CC and PC messages, and the rack has eight user preset slots plus a default boot-up preset and settings. The expression pedal input can be rerouted to any parameter and saved on a global or per-preset basis. +specs: |- + - 1U rack format with fully analog signal processing and digital parameter control + - Balanced and unbalanced I/O, working with both instrument and line level signals + - Mono unit, designed to run in master/slave configuration for stereo processing + - Three effect loops at different points in the signal chain, each working with instrument and line level signals + - Full MIDI implementation, with every parameter controllable over MIDI CC and presets recallable over MIDI PC + - Eight user preset slots plus a default boot-up preset + - Expression pedal input, assignable to any parameter and saveable globally or per preset + - CLEAN GATE applies the Plasma gating to the dry signal without distorting it + - Tremolo section affecting dry and wet signals in or out of phase, reaching ring modulation rates, with an envelope follower driven by input level + - INPUT GAIN and VOLTAGE knobs set the level of distortion, and OVERSATURE mode overloads the tube for added upper harmonics + - Region-specific power supply included + - Made in Riga, Latvia + - Lifetime technical support and in-house service +io: + - key: f3eZ25LA + name: Instrument Input + signalFlow: input + category: audio + type: instrument + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: KEnSJOmH + name: Line Balanced Input + signalFlow: input + category: audio + type: line + connection: combo jack + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: aYQnnP5d + name: Balanced Output + signalFlow: output + category: audio + type: line + connection: xlr + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: dlHb401n + name: Unbalanced Output + signalFlow: output + category: audio + type: line + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: 3ukUb1j3 + name: FX Loop 1 Send + signalFlow: output + category: audio + type: insert + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: iusftPw9 + name: FX Loop 2 Send + signalFlow: output + category: audio + type: insert + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: jMOqn5BN + name: FX Loop 3 Send + signalFlow: output + category: audio + type: insert + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: Y59guYq7 + name: FX Loop 1 Return + signalFlow: input + category: audio + type: insert + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: jtgCwxU9 + name: FX Loop 2 Return + signalFlow: input + category: audio + type: insert + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: BxkjVMks + name: FX Loop 3 Return + signalFlow: input + category: audio + type: insert + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: ujOfADtm + name: MIDI In + signalFlow: input + category: midi + type: midi + connection: 5-pin din + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: ebOIyvKA + name: MIDI Out + signalFlow: output + category: midi + type: midi + connection: 5-pin din + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: ad378MFB + name: MIDI Thru + signalFlow: output + category: midi + type: midi + connection: 5-pin din + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: QId1DX2S + name: Expression Pedal Input + signalFlow: input + category: audio + type: expression + connection: 1/4-inch + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right + - key: MIHuwVB8 + name: AC Mains Input + signalFlow: input + category: power + type: power + connection: iec-c14 + maxConnections: 1 + position: Right diff --git a/data/hardware/gamechanger-audio-plasma-voice-eurorack-module.yaml b/data/hardware/gamechanger-audio-plasma-voice-eurorack-module.yaml new file mode 100644 index 000000000..4aa222ed0 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/hardware/gamechanger-audio-plasma-voice-eurorack-module.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,127 @@ +id: cwOOurwEtYVuYWrme-R_8 +name: Plasma Voice Eurorack +manufacturer: gamechanger-audio +primaryCategory: modular +searchTerms: + - plasma voice + - plasma voice eurorack + - xenon tube synthesizer + - high voltage voice module + - plasma module +categories: + - synthesizer + - analog +url: https://gamechangeraudio.com/shop/plasma-voice-eurorack-module/ +prices: + - amount: 412 + currency: EUR + asOf: 2026-11-10 + source: https://gamechangeraudio.com +description: A Eurorack synthesizer voice module that makes sound by driving + high-voltage electrical discharges between two electrodes in a xenon-filled + gas tube, with an ultrasound pulse-width oscillator modulated by selectable + sample and envelope shapes under slider and CV control. +details: |- + Plasma Voice is a synthesizer module that produces sounds by controlling high-voltage electrical discharges between two electrodes on a specially designed xenon-filled gas tube.

Auto Layer Catch lets the player simply press and play while the engine detects and stacks new notes during the performance, with no manual catching. + + A new kind of sound engine. Built around a completely new Spectral Sampling engine, the Plus Pedal II does not just hold notes, it analyzes them at the spectral level, preserving the subtle harmonic and dynamic characteristics of every sound played. Working alongside the original Real-time Audio Sampling technology, the result is an experience that feels both natural and instantly responsive, preserving the expressive nuances of a performance across any instrument or vocal while seamlessly extending them into evolving sonic textures. + + Auto Layer Catch. With a foot kept on the pedal, the Plus Pedal II detects new note events, filters out noise, handles transitions and stacks sounds with remarkable musical accuracy, much like playing a piano with a sustain pedal that simply works without any thought or technique. + + Gradual optical control. A new optical sensing system reads the brass pedal's position across the whole movement range, which allows the volume and release curves of all sustain layers to be controlled by foot. It can emulate the gentle behaviour of a real piano pedal, or create expressive volume swells across the pedal's full mechanical range. + + Layer control. A dedicated LAYERS knob sets exactly how many active layers the pedal maintains. A single layer gives maximum clarity and clean sustain under one note or chord, two to ten layers build rich harmonic structures, chord beds and complex textures, and Infinite Mode continuously combines older layers for endless evolving soundscapes. Each active layer is shown on the circular LED halo display, giving real-time visual feedback as the sound builds. + + Combo XLR/TS input and built-in mic preamp. A combo XLR/TS input with a built-in studio-grade microphone preamp and adjustable gain control makes it easy to connect microphones directly, alongside guitars, vocals and acoustic instruments. A standard 1/4-inch jack input bypasses the preamp completely and behaves like a traditional instrument input. A Kill Dry switch allows the Plus Pedal II to be used for sustain layering only, while the instrument sounds naturally in the room. + + Dual resonator and dynamic tone. The built-in dual resonator engines continuously respond to the spectral content of each active layer, generating ever-shifting upper and lower resonances, so every new note changes the harmonic ecosystem and creates movement and organic complexity. The TONE control applies a gradually evolving filter envelope to each layer individually, so sustained sounds breathe more like a real acoustic instrument than a static tilt EQ would. + + Advanced catch, hold, rise and decay controls. The CATCH switch determines how new notes enter the sustained layer pool: ALL makes every new note a layer, GROUP catches only the selected number of layers so chords can be played and then soloed over without lifting a foot, and SINGLE adds notes one at a time. The HOLD switch controls what happens after layers are captured: ALL keeps every layer sustained while the pedal is held, FIRST holds the first note while new layers naturally decay, and NONE starts all layers decaying immediately after capture. Dedicated RISE and DECAY knobs shape how each layer fades in and out over time. + + Smart FX loop. The original Plus Pedal featured an FX loop that processed only the sustained layers. The Plus Pedal II takes that further with a three-position routing switch that moves external effects to three fundamentally different positions without touching a cable: PRE, before the engines, FX LOOP, affecting the sustained layers only, and POST, adding effects to the pedal's output mix, where the Dry Out output is unaffected. + + Optional external footswitch. The redesigned footswitch expands live and studio workflows with three operating modes and a dedicated Dry Out.

It is more than a stomp-box, it is a compositional and arrangement tool that extends the potential of any instrument, bridging rhythm and lead parts and opening the doors to new soundscapes. + + Real-time Audio Sampling is a generative algorithm developed by Gamechanger Audio that adds piano-style sustain and sostenuto functionality to any musical instrument, by capturing and looping small segments of the instrument's output signal to produce smooth layers of sustain. Unlike granular synthesizers and synth-pad triggers, the Plus Pedal continuously records and analyzes a high-resolution audio buffer, and when engaged the algorithm identifies the optimal portion of the note's decay phase to create a seamless circular micro-loop. It works like a smart looper that catches the entire decay segment of the most recent note or chord and uses it to create a continuous sound. Because of this, each note or chord sustained retains the exact timbral qualities of the instrument and faithfully reflects the player's dynamics, which makes the pedal compatible with all melodic sound sources, including string instruments, synths, samples, brass, woodwinds and even vocals. + + Detailed control: the Plus Pedal offers full control over each layer of sustained sound. The RISE and TAIL knobs set the fade-in and fade-out speed of each new layer, and the SUSTAIN knob controls a gradual high-cut filter tuned to emulate the natural decay properties of plucked strings. The piano-style foot pedal provides a gradual response curve, which adds subtlety and nuance to every sustained layer. + + BLEND adjusts the volume of the wet signal, ranging between silence and roughly a 2x boost depending on the knob position. The middle position, marked by an indent in the potentiometer's path, represents an even volume balance between the instrument's input signal and the wet signal. + + RISE sets the fade-in speed of all new sustain layers. The minimum setting brings the wet signal in instantly, while the maximum produces extended gradual swells. A setting between 9 and 12 o'clock gives the smoothest transition between the instrument and the generated tone, while longer settings suit soundscapes and cinematic ambiance. + + TAIL adjusts the amount of signal spillover after each pedal release. At zero there is no spillover and the sustained tone cuts out as soon as the pedal is released. A 9 o'clock setting produces just enough spillover to create smooth transitions between different chords, which is useful when stepping outside diatonic harmonies. Past 12 o'clock the result is long, gradual fade-outs, giving enough time to build up multiple layers of sustain and to sample a new chord while the previous one is still ringing out. Set all the way up, all layers sustain infinitely. Up to five layers of sustain can be stacked on top of each other. + + SUSTAIN adjusts the speed and depth of a gradual high-cut filter applied to the sustained layers. This moving filter carves out space for melodic lines played on top of the sustained layers. At minimum the high-frequency cut is significant, and at maximum the sustained layers stay completely static for as long as the foot pedal is held, with no high-frequency reduction applied. In GROUP mode the SUSTAIN knob instead sets the number of layers allowed simultaneously, from one to five. The main LED indicates the setting, flashing once when the knob is turned all the way down and twice at around 10 o'clock. + + GROUP and SINGLE: the Plus Pedal can be operated in two modes, selected with a dedicated toggle switch. In SINGLE mode, holding the foot pedal down sustains the most recent layer while all previous layers continue fading out at the rate set by the TAIL knob. In GROUP mode, pressing and holding the foot pedal sustains the whole group of audio layers currently active, so a quick three-note arpeggio played at a medium TAIL setting can be held as all three layers. + + Outputs and SPLIT / MIX: the Plus Pedal features two 1/4-inch output jacks, labelled OUT and CLEAN OUT/FSW, plus a toggle switch on the pedal's side labelled SPLIT and MIX. OUT is the main output and can send two kinds of signal. In MIX, the most commonly used mode, it sends the wet signal combined with the dry signal from the instrument. In SPLIT it sends only the wet signal generated by the pedal, so the instrument's dry signal is muted while sustained layers can still be produced with the foot pedal. The second output, CLEAN OUT/FSW, sends out the unaffected dry signal from the instrument at all times. This dual output system gives a lot of diversity in setting up a signal chain and creating stereo effects, and CLEAN OUT/FSW also doubles as an input for the WET Only Footswitch. + + WET ONLY mode: all dry signal can be removed from the main output by activating a toggle switch on the pedal's side panel or by using a dedicated WET footswitch. This turns the Plus Pedal into a sound-design tool capable of creating stacked layers of sustained ambient note and chord swells from any instrument. The WET Only Footswitch serves as a remote foot controller for the mode, so it can be brought into various parts of a song arrangement as the player performs. + + Accessible FX loop: the Plus Pedal features a pair of Send and Return jacks on its side panel for patching in external effects units, and effects inserted into the loop affect only the sustain layers the pedal creates. Modulation effects such as chorus, vibrato, tremolo, flangers and phasers add movement, rhythm and turbulence to the sustained layers, while reverbs, delays, harmonizers, pitch-shifters, octavers and distortion units texturize and morph the sustained notes. +specs: |- + -

It eliminates all of the in-between noises created by the instrument's pick-ups or by humming strings, which allows extreme contrasts between individual notes. + + Extremely wide EQ: the Plasma Coil loses the original dry input signal and creates a new signal from fluctuations in the electromagnetic field surrounding the gas-discharge tube. This allows for a very wide range of frequencies, and dedicated knobs boost and cut the lows and highs. + + Unique harmonic saturation: Plasma converts the instrument's signal into a rapid series of electric discharges, which results in a large amount of non-linear harmonic saturation. That causes extremely rich and responsive attacks and brings out screeching sharp overtones and harmonics. These harmonic artifacts, produced as a by-product of the high voltage discharge, are uncommon in traditional signal amplification. +specs: |- + - Two EQ controls to boost or cut low and high frequencies + - VOLTAGE knob adjusts the amount of electrical current sent to the Plasma tube + - EFFECTS knob selects one of six effect types: a volume boost, two subharmonic modes an octave down, one upper harmonic mode an octave up, and two mixed modes combining upper and lower harmonics + - Effects footswitch engages the Plasma Coil's effect circuit + - Master VOLUME knob cuts or boosts the output signal level + - Silent ON/OFF footswitch + - Back-panel toggle configures the effects footswitch as a latching ON/OFF switch or as a momentary switch
