Mikrophonie - Music Thing Modular| Microphone | 4HP Eurorack DIY - Unique Panel

Mikrophonie is a microphone preamp with a piezo contact mic built into the panel. It is an easy way to bring environmental noise and feedback into a modular system. It also works very well as a way to trigger Mutable Instruments Rings and Elements, and as a generally weird tactile CV source. Panel of this module is unique (I made it).

Patch Ideas :

• Gently tap the piezo element to produce a strong trigger, that will open a low pass gate or trigger a Maths envelope.
• Use the outputs as voltage sources, rather than audio sources; FM an oscillator with the output. Works well with low frequency signals like pinged springs.
• The circuit is DC coupled so that very low frequency modulations (i.e a bouncing spring, a flexing piece of wood) might be like an LFO source. However Peizo elements only produce a signal while their stress is changing. Pressing and holding the panel will not produce a sustained high signal.
• Use channels 1 or 4 in a Maths as an envelope follower, with configurable rise and fall.
• You can also use the mic input as a massively highgain bright op-amp distortion/fuzz/boost for other modular signals.
• Switches + patching + touching patch cables = fun.

Module is in perfect condition. Comes complete with screws and connection cables. Used only in a non-smoking studio. Contact me for any information or to benefit from shipping costs more suited to your location (most often cheaper than those announced). Shipments outside the European Union are much more expensive and more rare due to too many problems with delivery companies. Serious buyer only, thank you.
