POLLEN

variable analog noise generator

click image to view larger

out of production

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

the pollen is a compact variable analog noise generator with a few extras. the two main controls are "grain" which helps shape the static, and "pitch" which controls a self oscillating filter that helps to alter the pitch of the static and has a switchable range, high / low. there is also an external audio input with its own volume control and a switch to kill the internal noise source so it will allow the pollen to be used as a distortion box. the output is up to about 7 volts so that it can be used as a control voltage source. the output knob will allow you so turn it down to safe audio level as well.

 

 ::: CONTROLS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

grain:  gives you control over the static breakup and amount, this control is not very linear so certain setting ranges will change more drastic then others

pitch:  this is a control for the self oscillating filter used to alter the pitch of the static, just so we're clear there is not way to use the filter alone or to cause it to not self oscillate

range switch: high / low range control for the pitch

input:  this is the audio input volume control, its used to adjust the breakup threshold and lower / quieter settings usually yield more interesting results

output:  the output volume

noise source kill switch:  this will switch out the noise source inside so that you can use the pollen to process external sources only

power switch:  um yeah the power switch

clipping led:  shows you when the internal sounds are clipping, usually a good thing. not to be confused for a power led which does not exist.

input jack:  mono audio input here

output jack:  mono noise out here

 

 ::: SAMPLES ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

 

::: NOISE SAMPLE :::

just the pollen alone used as a noise generator and then with the noise kill switch flipped off used as a lo-fi synth
the pollen used as a filter / distortion being fed some simple drums, no pattern changes
the pollen used as a filter / distortion being fed some simple drums, no pattern changes
some feedback noise from dk
drum patttern destruction from Paul Birken
::: NOISE SAMPLE :::
a percussive example from OTTO_TSR
::: SAMPLE :::
the source is a bugmodular from CRICKLEWOOD

 

standard disclaimer:  the top three samples are just me hitting record and messing around in an attempt the show you the full range of options with no musical intent whatsoever. they are all from one single pass, cut in 5min pieces for size. no effects or editing were used at all. people that make samples that have been smashed with compression or are smeared with reverb or delay are fucking morons that are trying to hide or exaggerate their results. as usual with any sample not labeled as being made by someone other then myself you can feel free to use these in your own work.
