Blast Fed Disaster - joystick

digital synth / variable noise generator

click image to view larger

::: SOLD

::: DESCRIPTION :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

this is a Blast Fed Disaster stuffed into a joystick. the design is an elaboration of Forrest M. Mims III's stepped tone generator, which is also commonly referred to as the Atari Punk Console which i have also built into an old atari joystick. this new version has far more potential for sound creation, from quantized synth notes to harsh variable digital static.

the controls are like this. the front and side knobs on the shaft are the two course controls for the main pitch and modulation rate which now have a huge range, the rear knob is the starve control which together with the pattern thumb button can get some very interesting things going. the joystick itself is the fine control for the pitch and mod range respectively and will travel about 15% of the total pitch range which covers about 3-4 octaves. the trigger button will trigger the synth on and off when the main is off, and the large thumb button is a pattern inducing bend when you have the other controls setup for that, the smaller (turbo) thumb control is the main power button. the two knobs on the front of the base are bend controls for each osc that will turn the oscillator from squarewave to static. the back left knob is the pulse width control for the pitch oscillator. the right rear knob will let you vary the static sound of the modulation osc when its setup to do that. the built in ( former throttle ) wheel is the master volume which is actually a mild high pass filter. on the left and right side are two 3.5mm control voltage inputs to control the rate of each oscillator. sorry they are 3.5mm i didn't have any room for 1/4" in there, and i ran out of the external 1/4" jacks that i used for the main out. so it was either this or nothing at all.

these samples are just me hitting record and messing around in an attempt the show you the full range of options. they are all from one single pass that i just cut up into segments. no effects or editing was done to anything at all. people that make samples with reverb or delay are fucking morons that are trying to hide or exaggerate their results.
