AMS Neve DMX 1580 Keyboard Interface / Chorus Controller Unit

SUPER RARE!

The AMS Neve DMX 1580 Keyboard Interface / Chorus Controller is a highly sought-after, rare expansion accessory designed for the legendary AMS DMX 15-80S digital delay and pitch-shifter. It operates as a dedicated outboard companion, adding advanced synthesis/pitch control and arguably the widest, most iconic stereo chorus effect available!

In the chorus mode, the AMS DMX 15-805 can create very convincing chorus and doubling effects at its outputs. Each of the outputs is given a slight pitch change and time delay that can mimic true vocal doubling. Speed and depth of the chorus is adjusted via the front panel controls. The Chorus Controller takes advantage of the fact that a second human voice tends to drift slightly in time and pitch when singing harmony, and generates a similar, random effect. Speed and depth of the chorus are adjusted with controls on the front panel of the Controller. If you watch the display on the DMX while the Controller operates, you see the display rapidly dithering up and down in very small increments.

In addition to the chorus effects, the DMX Controller can be used as a remote control for the pitch changers in the DMX 15-80S. The DMX 15-805 has only nudge buttons change, however the DMX Controller will let you tch over the full range using the rotary pots.

The AMS DMX Controller has another trick up its sleeve, however. You can use it as an interface to control your AMS DMX 15-80S from any analog synth with DC control voltages, such as a Moog.

These units have been used on countless hit records..There is no alternative If you want this sound, plug-ins and even the new hardware effects just don't come close to the sound of these vintage AMS units.

The unit connects to the AMS DMX 15-80S main rack-mount unit via a dedicated, proprietary multi-pin connection cable. Connection lead to your DMX-1580s or S-DMX is included. The unit itself is in good working condition. 

Set for 240 volt operation but can easily be switched to 120 Volts if the need arises.
