Glitchy, growling, magnetic.MXD - Cross-modulation of the motor with a digital waveform. creates HARSH, DISTORTED AND METALLIc textures.M-WAVE - A digital oscillator that's PITCH-LOCKED & HARD-SYNCED to the motor's output.a multitimbral synth with aN IMPERFECT mechanical soul.COIL MODE - instead of spinning the motor with DC Voltage - We inject alternating current into the motor's coils to create resonant analog vibrations & metallic hums.THIS IS AN INNOVATIVE SYNTHESIS METHOD THAT SOUNDS LIKE NOSTALGIA ON STEROIDS.VOCODER MODE - A 24 BAND DIGITAL VOCODER THAT USES THE MOTOR'S OUTPUT AS THE CARRIER AND Your instrument's signal AS the modulator.Speak, sing, or shred DIRECTLY through the machine.PARAMETER CONTROLAnalog TONE BOOST – A POWERFUL TILT EQ FOR SHAPING THE MOTOR OUTPUTTWO VOLUME KNOBS - independent Volume control for DRY SIGNAL and MOTOR OUTPUtmotor drive – heavy analog distortion for the motor outputEnvelope – go from short, punctuated stabs - to envelope follower - to long releasesglide – applies a portamento curve to the motor enginevibrato – classic pitch modulation - from subtle movement to wild oscillationmotor Interval Selector - ALLOWS YOU TO OFFSET THE motor pitch: +/- 1 octave or perfect fifths or perfect fourthsX-MOD Mode – use Amplitude modulation to Cross-mod the input signal with all motor engines.STEP ON THE GASthe MOTOR Pedal COMES EQUIPPED with a MULTI-MODE GAS pedaLACCELERATOR - create a wide range of controlled pitch-shift or floor it to redline the motorBRAKE - downward pitch-shift, or mash the pedal to bring the motor to a stallCLUTCH - temporarily disconnect the motor from the pitch-tracker - perfect for creating dronesVOLUME - use the spring-loaded pedal to CREATE satisfying volume swellsDRIFT - play the pedal like a gentle vibrato arm, or just floor it to get a complete wipe-outDURABILITYTHE MOTOR PEDAL USES A SPECIALLY-DESIGNED BRUSHED DC ELECTRO-MOTOR BLOCK AS ITS CORE SOUND ENGINE.OVER TIME THE MOTOR'S BRUSHES ARE GOING TO erode AND THE MOTOR block WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED - INDICATED BY THE PEDAL'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ORANGE AND THEN REDTHE MOTOR block IS A REPLACEABLE PARTESTIMATED LIFESPAN AROUND 3000 - 5000 hours of intensive PLAYINGINSTALLING A REPLACEMENT MOTOR FROM GCA IS A BREEZECOMPARABLE TO CHANGING A SET OF TUBES IN YOUR AMP.the MOTOR REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE IS extremely SIMPLE AND DOES NOT REQUIRE PROFESSIONAL SERVICING.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONInput & Output Type: 1/4” Unbalanced TSInput impedance: 0.5MΩMaximum input level: 9 dBuOutput impedance: 100 ΩData USB-C: MIDI & Firmware updateMONO & TRACK IN/OUT: 1/4'' Unbalanced TSInput impedance: 500 kΩOutput impedance: 100 ΩSignal level [in/out/track in/track out]: 4Vpp maxMIDI Connector: MIDI 5 PIN DIN cable inputType: Optically isolated input, RF filteredSound shift: -OCT, -5th, -4th, 0, +4th, +5th, +OCTVIBR/GLIDE: Max. vibrato: +/-100c, max glide: 5Frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz (±1 dB)Signal to noise ratio: 90 dB (A weighted)Motor system MAX speed: 9V/500mA, 9V/1AOperating temperature: 0º to 50º CPower Supply Connector Type: center negative 2.1 x 5.5 mm plugInput voltage: 9-12V DCInput current: minimum 500 mAPower consumption: 4,5-9 WProduct Dimensions: 18 x 10 x 8 (cm) / 7.1" x 4" x3.2" (L x W x H)Product Weight: 1.07 kg (2.4 lb)
