INNERSPACIAL NAVIGATOR

Eight buttons control any of 8 primary waves. A wave can be locked and altered using any of 4 main switches, 2 effect knobs (pitch and odd resonance). Two optic eyes each control effects depending on shadows and light (pitch and odd-modulation)-each has switch and both are very sensitive. Six touch contacts act as very sensitive human resistors. Touching any 2 or more will create different effects at different levels (just like using a knob). Of course touching any combination up to six is like turning up to six knobs at once.

There are approx. 25 different combinations for effects.The effects section consists of stereo rca audio in and two main buttons. This device will shift the pitch of any incoming audio 3 steps in either direction and has a low-tech vocoder section. The pitch shifting is very quality and it's a good effect for giving beats or other sounds character.

The internal synth can also be sent into the effects section to greatly alter the internal synth sounds and allow for thick tonal atmospherics. This device is equipped with a trigger in jack. Sending any audio sound source with a beat in (drummachine/sampler...

MAGNATRON TAPE ECHO

This is a play off the original Magnatron Arius Blaze created years ago - in an attempt to capture some of the art bypassed by technology. This one's a collaborative work by Ben and Arius. The Magnatron is an instrument that allows a person to play magnetic tape by hand. The provided stylus is rubbed across the tape field to create a sound similar to that of scratching records but with it's own unique character. The tape head here runs through a very nice delay with three time settings and huge feedback control. The result is something that allows the player to create bits of sound with great subtlety (very movie soundtrack) or textures with mad DJ Krush style delay scratching. This unit includes extra tape fields - or a person can make their own easily using any sounds you'd like(we'll provide simple instructions). The tape echo runs on batteries, has two indicator lamps and an included stylus.

25 January The shear density of your debut album blew me away. Pardon my ignorance but I have been boggled as to how you got your vocals to sit so prominent in such a thick forest of sonic warfare. I guess my question is are you rollin off frequencies at multiple po

Id like to take credit but its a lot down to the mixers rich costey and alan moulder. I do find that with my voice if I push the EQ around 3k it pokes out nicely
